Boracay: Day 1. :)

Our Boracay Adventure started last February 20, Wednesday until February 22 which is a Friday. I was really excited for our Boracay Trip 'coz the last time I went there was after my grade school graduation which was also my first time to go there. I can't really remember that trip well. That's why I was really really really excited. Hahaha! OA lang sa excitement. =)) Pagbigyan :)) 

So, I went to Boracay with my sister and her boyfriend. Yes, I know, I'm a third wheel again and again and again :( But, who cares? I still went to Boracay hahaha. I just imagined that I went on a solo trip :) That's why in most of the photos that I'll be having on this blog entry would be solo shots hahaha =)) 

We went to NAIA at around 8:30am so upon arriving we did all the things needed before boarding. We had to wait for an hour that's why we had our breakfast first. 

While waiting :)

Finally, boarding time... But we weren't able to leave at the said departure time. Yup, our flight was delayed for 45 minutes. We were just inside the plane that whole time :( As I remember, they said that there were so many planes at Kalibo that time. So we had to wait. At 11:45 am we finally left. Upon arriving at Kalibo International Airport, we had to ride a van to Caticlan then a boat to Boracay Island. That's another 1.5 hr.  or more.

While waiting inside the plane...

So pretty =)

I think I'm obsessed with clouds. :( =))
They're so pretty :)

Finally, at around 2:30pm... Hello Boracay!!! :)

At Kalibo International Airport :)

With ate :)

It was actually raining when we arrived at Kalibo and on our way to Caticlan it was really raining hard. :( But the good thing was, when we arrived at the island it wasn't raining anymore. Yay! It was kinda dark, there was no sun. But I think that was okay, we didn't get dark haha! 

What we did for the first day? Walk. Yeah, most of the time we just walked. From Station 3 to Station 1. But it was fun. We had a LOT of pictures. #ICAPSLOCKMOPARAINTENSE hahaha! I just had to. Ganun kadami ang pictures namin. And, that's why I had to separate my Boracay blog entry into 3 :) I was planning it to be just 1 but it would be a loooooooong one. So, I'd rather do three blog entries. :) Don't worry, I won't be posting ALL of our photos. That's too much. :))

Pusit =)

It's actually great to walk around the island during the night. It's so alive =)) So many people are up until the wee hours. :)

It was only our first day in Boracay and I already had fun. We didn't have water activities today but again, it was already a lot of fun. I enjoyed looking at the beach, the sand in my feet and hair, the water. Everything. Everything was so beautiful. As I always say, I'll forever love the beach♥ 

3PEAT!!!

Need I say more? The De La Salle University Lady Spikers just bagged their third straight championship for the UAAP Women's Volleyball Tournament. They won in just 3 sets! What a way to win right? I'm so proud to be a Lasallian right now. Well, ever since actually. It just heightened my proud feelings for the team and the whole school. If you noticed, I've been blogging about the Lady Spikers for quite some time now. I think I had two straight blogs about them. This would be my third straight blog about them. Haha! What a coincidence :) Three straight blogs for the 3PEAT! Natawa lang ako =)) Sakto :)

I'm really happy for their win. They really were the best. No doubt about that. Puso kung puso. They never showed any signs of giving up. That isn't in their vocabulary. They truly played with all their heart that's why they bagged the championship title for the third straight time. And, I'm sure it will be a 4peat next season. Hihi. Claiming it for them =))

Again, I'm so proud of the team. Nge, parang close kami ah haha! But seriously, they all did great. So proud of the best blocker, Aby Maraño. Definitely the best! And...She is really a great team captain. She never gets tired of inspiring her teammates and letting them know that they can do it. I love how she love her teammates and the game itself. To her co-MVP, Ara Galang, who is one of my favorite players, she did an excellent job! I'm super duper proud of this girl. From being a Rookie of the Year last season to an MVP this season. Wow! Just wow. Excited to see her play again next season. To Michelle Gumabao, who is the Finals MVP, another job well done. She's really a great volleyball player plus a lot of people admires her for the beauty she has. Next, to Kim Fajardo, who did an excellent job in setting the ball, congratulations! She was great the entire season. Mika Reyes was superb in yesterday's game! Woah! Ang galing mo girl!!! When she hits the ball, everything seems so easy. If there's a dunk in basketball, I believe Mika Reyes just made it possible for volleyball as well. I can't get over with how great she plays. And, just like Michelle Gumabao, a lot of people admires her for the beauty she has. Even girls admire her. She's actually my girl crush hahaha! Not just because of her beauty but because of her talent :) Next, how can I forget my favorite setter, Mika Esperanza. :)) I really admire her 'coz you can see that she loves what she's doing. Every time you see her, she's smiling. That's the main thing I liked about Mika Esperanza. Even though she did not play for a long period of time yesterday, I'm still proud of what she did. She was able to set good plays and... block! She was brought back to the game on the latter part of the first set when the Lady Eagles' score came closer. I believed that she pumped up the team and was able to set up good plays and for their last point, she was able to block! Loved that block ❤ Mika Esperanza will always be one of my favorite players :) Hoping that she'll have longer playing time next season.

Of course, how can I forget the two graduating players from the Lady Spikers, Wensh Tiu and Melissa Gohing. I admit that at first I didn't know Wensh Tiu, I thought that she was just new in the team but later on I realized that she's a transferee from Dasma. So, that's why I didn't know her that much. Anyway, Wensh Tiu was really great this season. She is not afraid to attack which was a great thing. That really helped the team. She was excellent this season, really excellent. She gave all her best for her last playing year. Last but definitely not the least, Melissa Gohing, who is always great in what she does. She's the kind of player who never gives up and that's evident every time she chases the ball just to save it. She rolls, dives, she does everything just to save the ball. All credits given to this girl. She really plays with all her heart. To the two graduating players, thank you for the five years you spent with DLSU. Animo! Good luck to your future careers :) CONGRATULATIONS!!!

And, we shouldn't forget the man behind the success of these girls, Coach Ramil De Jesus. No doubt that he is a great coach. He knows what's good for the team and I like that he trusts his girls and makes them shine on their own. He never fails to guide the team and I'm sure that he is the number one fan of the girls. :) To their coach, good job! Let's go for a 4peat next year hahaha!

I may not be a fan of the sport from the very start but at least now I can proudly say that I am a fan :) For three years now. :) I wish I could play the sport as great as them but that'll just be a wish :))

Congratulations as well to the Ateneo Lady Eagles for a great fight. =) Congratulations to the Fab5.

Again and again, congratulations to the DLSU Lady Spikers! Ang sarap maging Lasalista! :) Animo!!!

Aww. Aby Maraño, Melissa Gohing and Michelle Gumabao in tears.

Forever a Lasallian.

I just have to have a blog post about the game yesterday for the UAAP Women's Volleyball Finals. I won't really be saying that much unlike my other posts about the DLSU-ADMU match-up. I just wanna say how proud I am to be a Lasallian right now. Others might say that we're being too shallow by saying that but trust me, it's absolutely true. It's just one of the many reasons why I am proud to be a Lasallian. In their game yesterday, the Lady Spikers really showed the heart of a champion. Even if they were down two sets. Yes, you read it right. Down by two sets. Hmmm, I'm sure that I've seen that before. Round 1 meeting, remember? =)) Hihi. They never gave up and they will never ever give up. I'm sure of that. That's how bad they want the title. Not just for themselves but for the entire Lasallian community as well and they'll get it 'coz they always play with all their heart. And that will always be the key. 

I have to commend how the girls played yesterday. Well, not all of them were great but they were still cheering for each other. I guess that's really important. Melissa Gohing was definitely great. She might not be the one that is always in the limelight but we should really credit her for all the effort she's doing just to save the ball. She dives and rolls just to keep the ball in play. And she's been doing that for five years for DLSU. That deserves a standing ovation. For me, she's the one that really stood out during the game yesterday. But I'm not saying that Michelle Gumabao doesn't deserve the title as the player of the game yesterday. I guess Gumabao and Gohing just had different roles during the game. Gumabao was more of an attacker yesterday and it was her attacks during the latter part of the game that helped the team in bouncing back and it was great that she continued with the great hits until the end of the game. Gumabao was great yesterday during the last two sets. One problem I saw yesterday was their service error. There were just too many errors on the service line. Anyway, I have to commend Aby Marano as well. In every point they gain or lose, Aby was always there to cheer her teammates. She would always shout: "Tiwala at puso". That's what I liked about her. Showing what a team captain should be. And, her attacks yesterday was also great. But it wasn't that many but still great. Ara Galang wasn't really herself yesterday but when the points were needed she was there to deliver. She still had the highest points in yesterday's game. As what most people say, all respects for this girl. I was just sad that Mika Esperanza didn't play that much. Haha! She's one of my favorite players, that's why I was sad. =( =)) Hoping that next game, she'll play longer and better. :) Mika Reyes was also good yesterday and also Cyd Demecillo. =) 

Loved this tweet of Aby Marano.

Hoping that they'd win their game on Wednesday and repeat the 3peat :) I'm also hoping that I can watch the game live. Sana makakuha ng tickets :) That would be great! 

Again, I will always be the girl who's proud of her school. Whatever others say, I won't mind. As long as I'm not doing anything to harm others di ba?=) 

I'll forever be proud to be a Lasallian. =)

WORD.
