Senior Retreat #2

Hella stuff to talk about. Maybe I'll post in separate entries, 'cause I know for sure this is gonna be a loong one. :)

Anyways, yeah, I went to Senior Retreat #2, from February 20-22. Memorable people came along this trip, which made it even more worthwhile. My small group was made up of Matt Yee, Nigel Jackson, Sterling Hayes, Melissa Lee, Ellyse Barrios, and Stephanie Costa. I would say each of us were pretty darn different. That's why I was happy that I had a cool group of people. Our leader was Mr. Wilson, the younger one. We had some pretty cool talks. I don't want to give away the main topics, but we basically talked about us and our futures and what will happen. It's cool though, everyone shared, and I don't think anyone hesitated to talk. It was a good experience.

Actually, there's a lot of things that I shouldn't talk about to spoil the events that happened. But it was pretty awesome. I especially loved our last thing that we did together. Yeah, I won't go into that much detail then, but the things that happened were AMAZING. Edit later, tonight?

'Til next time.

Epic moment in Blogger history.

My very first blogger account. Very interesting experience so far. For my very first post, I'll disclose some fun facts about myself:

Name: Angelo

Age: 18
Ethnicity: Filipino
Location: South San Francisco
School: Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory
Hobbies: My computer, "guitar-ing" my life away, music, video games, anime, basketball, Plan B, blah blah blah.
Favorite food: It has to be Bilo-bilo Ginataan, or however you spell it. It's a Filipino dessert that's made up of jackfruit, bilo-bilo. It's AMAZING.

Experience with blogs (if any?): My beloved Xanga, R.I.P., and a little bit of LiveJournal!
Concerts?: I've been to one only in my entire life. And I got to say, it was pretty awesome. Cold Hot Crash was one of the major bands. Check them out! a local band with loads of potential.
Dream in life: Have a family, have the ability to support that family, and be a linguist.
Things to do before I die: A couple is learn 4 languages, live in the Philippines for a year, and figure out what job really makes me happy.

That's me in a nutshell. I'm sure there are more things to come! But in the mean time, I'll explain how my day went today!

I stayed up 'til 1:00 in the morning today. Not so good, 'cause I had one headache that was killing me. I was very tempted to drink a Monster, but I took the high road and took it like a man. Day went smoothly; I finished some homework due today in the various classes I had today. I also contemplated about the thing that is Life. I don't know. Some days, I just have these random moments where I just stop and think about what's happening to me. You know, actually being in the present; letting my mind focus at the task at hand. Meh, I also tried to come up with catchy lyrics today. :]

So, Blogger, hope you can inspire me to make layouts as I had before with Xanga and also give me the motivation to make entries frequently. 'Til next time.
