The Azkal Ending to a Good Week & Month

Today was the first game of the Philippine soccer team (Azkals) against Hong Kong in the Long Teng Cup. LUCKILY the match happened to be in Kaohsiung, Taiwan and in a place that’s soooo near my house & my school! Did I mention they’re staying in the hotel right by my school? FINALLY something’s happening in this city :P Haha! The game was really thrilling since soccer’s way too awesome & our team was pretty good! The game ended with a tie, 3-3. It was really cool seeing a lot of Filipino supporters too(most of them were women & I guess their main purpose was for the looks of the players…haha), however they didn’t really know what was going on and the commentator had to explain some stuff to them. It’s all good though cuz soccer’s a pretty new sport in the Philippines so they’ve got much more to learn. I was pretty much shouting “BETTER DEFENSE!!! MAN-ON, NO TURN, NOTURN!! DON’T KICK IT OFFSIDE!!! HELP HIM OUT, HE’S ALONE WITH THE BALL TRYING TO SCORE A GOAL!! HELP HIIIIIM!!!” hahaha :D
Honestly, it felt really great skipping volleyball practice to see a live soccer game and supporting your own country. Pinoy pride! Seeing this match really wrapped up the end of the school week :)

(My favorite photo of the bunch).

This whole experience was free. All you had to do was hand over 5 receipts you've acquired during the past 2 months, then you can enter the stadium and sit anywhere you want. I hope to be doing this 2 more times!! <3

New layout!

I finally got the time to change the layout! Now people can leave comments! Anyway, here's a doodle I made during Bio class today. I just love that line from "Dancing Through Life" (Wicked).
"Stop studying strife, and learn to live the unexamined life. Dancing through life, skimming the surface; gliding where turf is smooth...Nothing matters, but knowing matters; It's just life, so keep dancing through." 

  If my room had better lighting, the edits of these would be much better. Terribly disappointed with the turn-out, but I'll make it up soon! It's my favorite day tomorrow - Thursday <3 AAND It's also TWIN day (Spirit Week). My twin's gonna be my bff <3 Will blog more soon!

More of the Kendo Place

Here's another set of the Kendo pictures I took on Friday night. This is basically the "wishing tree", where people write their wishes on the wood and hang it on there. :)

I do love that place, it has a very different feel to it. I'm not really sure how to explain it.
Today was a very productive Sunday, if I should say so myself! I was able to relax at home and just do what I wanted to do. I made a cover of "Rolling in the Deep" by Adele & recorded it. If you're interested enough, check my photography blog in tumblr for it! Now off to do some homework, Athletic Council, and Cadenza Club stuff. I hope Sunday lasts longer :(

Kendo

Last night I tagged along with a good friend to her Kendo class! It was really cool - the setting was a mix of Japanese, Taiwanese, and British style (that's what the guy said). I took %@$&#%# photos haha! No, this isn't the complete set. :)

That's my friend over there, preparing for class.

 Probably my favorite picture out of all the ones I took. Hehe.

 Through another perspective. Taken from the outside through the window.

Class is over.

There's supposed to be 10 pictures up here but one of them refuses to be uploaded, so I'll just post it up some other time. I'm gonna upload the rest of the others tomorrow, I assume. For now, sleep! I'm beat. Well, when have I not been stressed out and tired ever since school started? The mention of school just made me remember that I have to do homework tomorrow. BOO. I need a longer weekend!!!

Kill nothing but time

It's finally Saturday! This week has been so stressful that I don't even want to give a recap of what happened. There's so much things to prepare for. But anyway, yesterday after school I had to stay in the Student Store to sell P.E. uniforms (in case for you who don't know, the Athletic Council in our school is in charge of everything about the P.E. uniforms/team jerseys...etc). I ended up staying there until it was time to leave, so I was able to organize everything in an orderly manner...and I managed to have time to take pictures of some interesting things there as well!

(Hoooooly smokes, I just realized that these photos look waaay better in black & white after editing this last one!! I'm a bit too tired/lazy to change the others so enjoy this one).
Kill nothing but time. I like that saying. Time has its habits of being instantaneous that it becomes hard to balance - I think that's why we go off track occasionally. Nonetheless, we need to learn how to treasure it during the moments we hope would last longer because truthfully, that's all we're ever gonna get. :)

I'll be back later to post more photos on what I did the rest of the night yesterday! I hope everyone out there is making good use of their time (even if they're doing it blindly) <3 

P.S. First blog post ftw!!!
