Culminating Activity 2015 & Fave Player

Culminating Activity 2015 was held in UZ Summit. Haha, I just sounded like a reporter there. But seriously as expected, the program was "insert an appropriate word for boring". Not until I get to hug my friend from Riyadh, Meshael, who is a very pretty tall girl, who always makes me look like her chamber maid. Damn you Mesh!

Mock Job Interview

Today was the mock job interview! I've been preparing for this for weeks, and I don't think I'm exaggerating anything. And well, we all sophomore students of SBM prepared for this. Because we're dealing with interviewers outside the school, they're all professionals. There's real pressure in there.

NSTP Tree Planting

Today was our NSTP activity but before anything else, I'm a LTS student and unfortunately my instructor under this subject has a very busy schedule so she can't schedule our section for our own activity besides we were the only LTS class she's handling. So she decided to just bring us as well to the CWTS' activity yesterday. I took LTS because I was avoiding to do such things, like cleaning the street or planting trees. I seriously want to teach, just for an experience.

Never in my entire life have thought about planting trees. So when we went there I was so calm yet anxious of what I was supposed to do and how do I suppose to plant a tree because I honestly don't know how. All I know is we were suppose to just put on/in the soil. Obviously who ever knows how would disagree of what I just said because obviously it isn't the proper way one.

Here comes the interesting thing, so when we started. We went to the edge of the mountain or hill or whatever it was called, because everyone was going there. And when I went there, I saw lots of people going down the mountain some girls were screaming because they were so scared. Seriously though, do look at the photos above. You see how high it is? OMG I don't even know how to react. It gave me a mini heart attack. So when I've decided to go down because obviously I can't waste my time just looking at them doing adventure. I was so careful but unfortunately I still got slid because in fact the ground was so slidy. Seriously tho, who would survive?! Just kidding.

Thank goodness though, a groupmate/classmate of mine told me where I was suppose to step to avoid falling or sliding. But then, he got down first and I was stuck and all I thought was "You have to do this alone. Because no one's gonna help you. Only you". Another miracle happened wherein a guy actually helped me, he lend his hand to help. And a girl was pushing me (damn it!) but don't worry I didn't fell.. thanks to that guy. I was so tired so I didn't got a chance to thank him. 

Then when I got down, I still have to climb another mountain/hill/whatever. Climbing wasn't hard because I know I won't fall. So when I got up there I saw my friends and they helped me where I was suppose to plant my tree trunk. I know I didn't do well, because it was like, I just threw the plant to the hole and scatter the soil which is so funny because I know it's wrong. I really had no idea. And obviously I still had to go down and up again to finally accomplish my adventurous-tiring journey. But the funny but embarrassing part is when I was going down, I was so terrified. I'm not scared of heights, I'm scared of falling. Thank goodness, Lea was there to assist me because base on my observation she's literally one piece of expert with this kind of things, I wish I was as well though. So we literally got stuck several times, I slid several times that it comes to the point wherein the line was so long behind me, and there was literally a long space in front of me but the point is the road was tiny that only one person could fit. So everyone was waiting for my terrified legs and I had to say sorry several times and explain why I was so freaking slow. Oh my goodness.

After all, this is another first. I was so tired, honestly truly completely (got that line from Love, Rosie) tired. But everything was worth it. In fact I had fun. I really did although I was freaking exhausted that I didn't even cared what I look like. I just want everything to be done.

Wonderful Wedding

On January 29 I have attended a wedding for the first time in forever. Although in fact, I already have before but it wasn't as proper as this one because all I want back then was to eat. But now I actually paid attention throughout the wedding ceremony and literally listened to the speeches that was made by some specific speakers. I applaud very proudly, honestly. 

I have to be honest with you, the first time my mom told me about the wedding I was like "Uh no, I'd rather watch tons of tv series", but then she's my mother.. I'll do whatever she commands. So she forced me to attend and according to her, it's not as if I'm going to do this all the time, it was a rare event so I have to attend and blah blah. She actually spent much money for my dress and hers and other stuff which is very impressing because she's did it for us not to feel out placed and for her best friend (which is the mother of the loving groom). But you know what? I had fun, it was a nice experience. So above all, I do believe that 

"Mother knows best".

The groom and bride is such a beautiful couple. The groom was so cute because he's chubby (in a good way), in fact if you see him, judging him won't ever cross your mind. Besides he is a nice guy, professional, well educated in Islam, already worked abroad, and especially has huge respect for her mother. The bride was so lucky. Unfortunately though, I don't quite know much about the bride, but I know that she is a nice woman and cheerful as well. Because one time, when she saw me, she gave me a big smile (with her beautifully done braces on her teeth) and gave me a kiss on my cheek. Let me tell you that that big smile was so real. She was so pretty when she smiled at me, and for the first time I saw it, it actually shocked me like a flash that I even had to back off my head. 

Congratulations to the newly wedded couple

Al Shaif & Phina

May Allah bless their wonderful wedding

And live happily ever after

BSBA Fiesta

Hi blog! I haven't blog very much, and you have no idea how much I miss it. These last few days my hands are eager to spend time with the keyboard. My excuse is I'm so busy due to college works. But, I'll try and attempt to write blogs more often because I don't want my blog to miss some cool stuff that are happening in my life, hopefully.

Two days of BSBA Fiesta and all I can say is.. wooh epic. It was very exciting and new to me. Although I've experienced some of what we did during the fiesta. It wasn't as you think, that there'll be marching bands or long table of different kinds of foods. It was simply about literary, business, and of course having fun which is obviously fun games. The first day was held in our campus, 6th floor (to be specific since it's the floor of School of Business Management). I was a finalist of Spelling Bee, I just want you to know.. it wasn't my choice, I didn't want it. But at least, it's an opportunity. And unfortunately I didn't gave all my best, because honestly I'm not confident enough to win since I and my partner are still freshmen, our IQ is lower compared to those higher levels that we competed with. As we expected we didn't won, but I would like to brag that only freshmen got the correct spelling for "bivouac" due to my military experience during my highschool days. 

We freshmen also sell foods because of course, it's business, we are BSBA (Bachelor of Science in Business Administration). We ridiculously sell eggplant. I couldn't believe it happened especially that we are the only year level that sells it. It was so much fun because I tried to recruit loads of customers by just convincing them and by my talkative loud mouth. 

Second day of the fiesta was held in Pasonanca UZ Campus. It was supposed to start at 7AM but it actually started at 9AM. But during the 2hrs waiting, we roam the campus, we saw lots of horses, a monkey, a goat, a cow.. and a huge crocodile. The place was scary (honestly speaking), I just thought that maybe it was new to me that's why I got scared of the place. We played different kinds of games although the rain kept on ruining our fun, we still tried to continue with the games whenever the rain stops. I was part of Red Warriors team that turned to Red Horse team. I had fun but I would rate it as 7/10. But still.. Nice work to those officers that held the event. I was pretty aware by their suffering, sacrificing, and hard working. 

I really do hope to blog more but college works are my priority. I love blogging so I'll blog more, hopefully. It is such a relief to blog after all my cravings.. I'm satisfied. Always remember that everything happens for a reason. God bless.

Visit in Riyadh Int'l School

I went to Riyadh last February 18-19. It was a very memorable "2 days" in Riyadh. I spent almost my "2 days" in my previous school, Riyadh Int'l School. Because of course, my friends are there and I really want to see them. Although I didn't spent a lot of time roaming around Riyadh, I didn't regret that I spent alot of time in RIS. 

It was supposedly a surprise. But my mother told my bestfriend, Nikki, that we were going to visit Riyadh. I didn't got really mad because it is pointless, instead I let her know and didn't care if she'll tell it to the others. When I step-in in RIS, the first fourth year student that I saw was Alpine, and I shout her name twice before she actually notice me. They were so shock that I was there, obviously they didn't knew that I was coming. They gave me a big-warm-tight-and-I-can't-breathe-plus-I-almost-swallowed-my-hair welcome hug. They couldn't believe that I was there because it was like a click when I moved to Dammam and visit again to Riyadh. They told me loads of amazing things that happened when I wasn't there in RIS, and I told them awesome things that happened to me as well. Our principal and I gossip about loads of things. I was so relaxed talking to her, like I wasn't a student in that school before. Why? Is she going to expel me? Haha, I really had fun talking to her, besides she's in a good mood. Plus, she really loves to take picture, maybe she talked to me just to get a picture with me. In all seriousness, I missed her. I love you Ma'am Lorieeeto!

I came early (about 6-7 AM) to RIS on my last day there, I even ate my breakfast at the canteen. Nobody had an idea how much I missed the school canteen of RIS. The canteen have whole bunch of yummy and awesome foods, although their foods are expensive, I can say that it is totally worth it. I also had a sit-in class in AP subject, the teacher was very nice. Ma'am Juvy! She is the SSC's adviser, anyway. The elementary students had the an event called MAPEH Day, which was full of KPOP dancing, maybe only 3 groups who didn't use KPOP song in their routine. Perseus and I, had a class picture number 2 because we were complete. I didn't expected that it'll happen especially that we were with Ma'am Nez and Ma'am Lorie. I feel special, hahakidding, no really, THANKS! At dismissal, they went to the boys section because they have this CAT picture thing which I experienced from last year when I was a COCC. I also went there to get a sneak peek of the boys section. Polaris was there, of course. I was so happy to see them. They waved at me so did I, but only Gelo (my superdupermegaultabestfriend) had the guts to actually go to me and give me at least a high five. He looks different now. Oh well, maturity.

Above all, I really missed RIS and I was so happy to visit there again since September. The school is smaller now, but the memories with my friends there are still bigger than the school. I really love them, because I grew up in that school, I was there for less than 7 years. I was so glad to be back.

Everything happens for a reason. Smile.

I would like to introduce my fabulous party members under the banner of Monster's University Party. And yes, incase you're wondering, I'm the president of this party. I never thought it would be this hard being a president of a party. But, at least, my party members is there for me, they never had been a pain in the ass. I'm so proud of them. They gave A LOT of efforts, each one of them gave an effort. It was impressing. It was an opportunity for me to run as a president plus, it was an opportunity for me to handle my party members. I never regret that I gave them a chance to be part of my another family called Monsters. Yes, I have another family called Monsters, they are my family now. I love them and I can feel that they love me as well. We are so comfortable with each other, hopefully, it won't change ever. We made memories for the last few days. Everyday in our headquarters is another memory. We laugh, we cried, we slept, we share thoughts, we ate together, we are crazy as much as we can, we love each other. I will really treasure everything that we've done. 

Thank you so much my little monsters! You guys are blessings to me. Cause you all have a big fat heart. I can't explain how much I love you guys. I will miss those days that we are all together. As I said, you are part of my life now and will always be. Thank you for all the memories you have given me, I appreciate them all. Always remember, that I am always here for you guys. I am already teary eyed. Okay, I love you guys and I'm so proud of you.

VOTE STRAIGHT! VOTE MONSTERS UNIVERSITY! <3
