I’ve been in an emotional rut for the past few days, and it doesn’t help that there are just so many school-related things I need to worry about. Every now and then, I’ve been trying to get a hold of myself, trying to dismiss anything that will let me fall into a relapse. I guess the stress helps me focus on the things that should matter for the time being. I have to make the most out of everything.

Saturdays are meant to be days of indulgence for myself. My tito happens to be one of the regional directors under the Department of Tourism, and he invited our family to visit the Philippine Tour Operations Association’s 18th Philippine Travel Mart at SM Megamall.

It’s really, really interesting, and I was quite delighted to be in a place full of activity! There were stalls representing the various regions and places all over the country that you will end up having this urge to travel around and realize how many wonderful places there are yet to visit in this country. There were also free food samples, exhibits and shows. Travel agencies were everywhere, so you can see a wide range of promos and travel packages to suit your liking. My mom, who was oh-so-excited grabbed a handful of brochures, cards, leaflets to compile for our next vacation destination. haha. My sisters and I were just as excited that we went around scouring for places we can’t wait to visit. The picture on the left is me with the famous tarsier in Bohol.

My back is still pretty much sore from yesterday’s phenomenal game. I’ve never cheered my heart out for anything so passionately. I’ve always known school spirit during DLSU and AdMU games are contagious, but there were no words to describe how amazing it felt to be part of those in blue and take pride on being part of a school that I’ve always wanted to be in ever since.

Okay. Sige. Cheesy siguro. But it’s really difficult to explain. And watching the game live with the crazy crowd is pure and intense rush.

Best part was the game itself. La Salle put up a fight that lead to a heart-attack inducing overtime. It was amazing to watch both teams battle it out intensely and passionately. Even the hostility between the schools just add more flava! haha. :P

Wait. I think the best part was that we won. And the feeling after was beyond bliss!

I can’t wait for the next DLSU vs. AdMU game!
