<span style="font-size: large;">Finals week is pretty close, and sometimes I can’t help but wish for a fast forward to sem break and imagine how I’d reward myself after this long, hot, suuuuper hot finals week.

<span style="font-size: large;">I guess the reason why Trim & Polish gets so successful with gaining regular customers is because they are a family there. It’s inspiring how the owner keeps the professional yet warm togetherness of the staff, their oneness in what they do.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">for our craft to be perfectly made<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">before we show it to the world<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">delaying later than late?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">It is as simple as unfolding a paper<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Directing a light having it clearer<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">But actually, no<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Simply unfolding your paper<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Thinking creating craft is a feat?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;">forgetting the very reason why<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">you train, rehearse, practice, and try<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;">too much for polishing<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">too much editing<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-size: medium;">to get better to be louder is the only cause</span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Even before I auditioned for UP Streetdance Club (UPSDC), way back in high school, I’ve always been excited to (<i>get the chance to) </i>watch Street Fuzion ‘cause I heard it's UPSDC’s <b>largest</b> annual dance production. "Imagine, all the members, including those I only get to watch in youtube, ALL OF THEM, dancing full-blast in one concert?! GRABE." I remember the highschooler Aya Fernandez then. Haha.</span><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> </span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Before, the meaning of Street Fuzion for me was a showcase of talent, art, mastery, movements, and <b>dance</b>. I was so thrilled with the idea. But things have quite changed through time. Since I got accepted as an applicant/trainee, the definition of Street Fuzion has gradually changed. From meeting UPSDC’s members, scholars, and coaches, I’ve learned that like them, Street Fuzion’s purpose is to tell a story. It is to tell a message, <b>His</b> message. For months since the audition day, I have been so inspired. </span></div>

The other night after watching the complete run through, that very moment the music stopped marking the finale, was the only time I fully understood what Street Fuzion is all about. This time, I guess I got it right.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I’ve learned that Street Fuzion is beyond showcasing talents. It's beyond telling a message. It is about touching lives. And I am one of those who are just touched by it. Even if it was just a run through – with incomplete props, no costumes and no stage design – it was the </span><b style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">dance alone</b><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">.

And I just wish you could be moved the way I was. I hope that more people would be comforted the way I was, would be enlightened the way Street Fuzion has calmed my heart. And honestly, I guess my words aren’t even enough to justify the show’s audacity and sincerity. </span></div>

Today is International Women’s Day, and I thought of making it somehow extra special to the ate's and nanay's I come across almost everyday in the university. After greeting them happy women's day, i took the opportunity to capture their beautiful smiles <span class="_1az _1a- _1q3y" style="background-image: url("/rsrc.php/v2/yp/r/aeO1ik7i7-T.png"); background-position: 0px -5287px; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: auto; display: inline-block; height: 16px; margin: 0px 1px; vertical-align: top; width: 16px;">:)</span></div>

We may see them everyday, some we even talk to, but we really never get know a part of their story (or even their names). And it’s amazing how their genuine smiles tell the message of this day’s real essence and very purpose, of what it's really all about. I just find it amazing how their smile says it all… </div>

<span style="line-height: 17.94px;">I hope after reading this, coming across them today would make us give a little smile or nod to them, passing a tiny spark of positivity there </span><span class="_1az _1a- _1q3y" style="background-image: url("/rsrc.php/v2/yp/r/aeO1ik7i7-T.png"); background-position: 0px -5287px; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: auto; display: inline-block; height: 16px; line-height: 17.94px; margin: 0px 1px; vertical-align: top; width: 16px;">:)</span></div>

flavor and my friends had Pork Adobo and Ham & Cheese. What we liked
most about Kukis Empanadas is their <b>extra-cheese twist</b> in <b>all</b> the

<span style="color: #141823; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 13.45pt;">It’s
the first day of February tomorrow and hooray for another month of surprise! It’s
been a quite some time since my last post. Chinese New Year’s fast approaching,
and it reminds me of this unpublished piece I wrote last January 11 that I’ve
found from my blog drafts </span><span style="color: #141823; font-family: "wingdings"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 13.45pt;">J</span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 13.45pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 13.45pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">There
are a bunch of words of wisdom and inspirational quotes out there but sometimes
it just takes certain events in our lives for these words to sink in within our
fragile hearts. And mine perhaps was the first 10 days of 2016. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 13.45pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 7.5pt;">

<div style="background: white; line-height: 13.45pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: x-large;"><b>1. We need no new year to start over
again.</b></span><span style="font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 13.45pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">New
year must be a new beginning, a fresh new start. We have this mindset that we
need to start the year right to place everything right all throughout the year.
This may be true, but the thing is, what if our beginnings was not the ideal
start and wasn't that right? Does that mean we'd screw up the whole timeline?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 13.45pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">No.
It's only the human mind that said we have an ideal plot to follow. Even if
your story began with a conflict or climax, remember that even Broadway
tragedies don’t start their story that way. So, rough start doesn't mean a
rough ending. Endings have nothing to do with beginnings; it's just all up to
how we wage the complete battle. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 13.45pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 13.45pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">So
if you didn't have that "Happy New Year" everyone's been greeting
you, it's okay. You could have a "Happy New Day" tomorrow </span><span style="color: #141823; font-family: "wingdings"; font-size: 10.0pt;">J</span><span style="color: #141823; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #141823; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 13.45pt;">So,
if we feel like crying, it's okay. It's a sign of being normal human, human
with feelings. Being true to the world about your emotions was never an antonym
of maturity. We just have to make sure that we release our emotions at the
right environment.</span></div>

<span style="color: #141823; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">It's
a trap. It starts with simple hate that later builds up, without us noticing.
To avoid it, always find time to reflect and pray at the end of the day of the
things that happened. When life gets hard on us, it’s difficult to see the
things in life we should be thankful for. But we shouldn’t let life being hard
on us harden our hearts too. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

we don’t let God talk to us anymore. We take prayer shortcuts. We tend to think
that “God already knows what I wanted to tell Him.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #141823; font-family: inherit;">The Miss Universe fever is over-ish,
but the new year reminds me of the highlight realization I’ve learned from Pia
Wurtzbach’s journey (since I’ve met her in 2013, her first attempt for the
Binibini title) that I’d like to put an <b><i>extra</i>
</b>effort to live out this 2016 :D<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: inherit;">Aside from the mainstream details
of her journey that we know, there’s this particular one that I won’t forget. In
her Q & A in 2014, when the bisaya fluent Pia was told by Senator Angara (judge)
if she could be asked in Tagalog, I heard critics from some pageant analysts, "<i>alam naman
niyang mas magaling siya mag-english kesa tagalog, pero nagtagalog pa din siya... Medyo mayabang.</i>" </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #141823; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif;">They said she could have given an outstanding answer if she looked for a way to
deliver her answer in english instead of tagalog. But i thought back then that
it was a trap, and she had no option but to answer in tagalog, anyway it wasn’t
a bad answer after all. But they told me "<i>kahit ba na trap 'yon, pag pageant Q & A dapat mabilis kang magisip
para makahanap ng paraan para hindi mailabas ang weakness mo </i>and to present
the best version of yourself.”<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: inherit;">That year, she did not place.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: inherit;">The critics may be right,
Pia could have done better that year but at the end of the day, she accepted
the challenge and went on. She answered confidently and expressed herself
genuinely. In fact, I <b>didn't even notice</b> that she "wasn't that good in
tagalog." <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #141823; font-family: inherit;">Personally, sometimes I
tend to step back when I know I can't give my best. That "practice-muna-show-later"
or “ipeperfect-ko-muna-show-later” mentality drags me down down down. That lack
of confidence holds me back back back. But sometimes, I guess we will only know
that we are really good at something when we are asked to do it unprepared or
freestyle but don’t suck like hell.<b> </b>(medyo-suck

<span style="color: #141823; font-family: inherit;">Disclaimer: we should
always be prepared. We should continuously work for improvement, so that when
the moment demands you to show what you’ve got, you have something to show. But
what I’m just trying to say is that <b>sometimes,
as we postpone the showtime, we end up not showing up at all.<o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

they really are. You don’t know the whole story. Or you might think you have
seen the whole portrait, but were you the painter? Try furnishing a replicate,
then that’s the only time you’d be able to identify the mix and strokes of
colors; nevertheless, it’s just and still a <i>replicate</i>.

kitten in a 3-feet drum. But remember, it’s not because they’re smaller. You
drown in seas too. It’s because God gives us our own waters to swim into. When
you find a friend’s problem too shallow, instead of belittling his strengths,
why not find the horizon instead? And again, you might be forgetting the first
reminder. How dare you pretend that you see the rainbow of white light. <o:p></o:p><br />

in Journalism class. I must say it took a brave heart now to share this again; since
then, many things have changed, including principles contrary to or deepened
beyond what was. Technology has greatly empowered the youth to have a voice,
looking back, I wish this could have been less elliptical and expounded. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
