Build A Classroom Project by AC Batch ’87

By | For kids, Giving Back, Velada 2012 | 3 Comments

In a few months, we will be having our Velada!!  One of our batch initiatives aside from raising money for the school and the mission schools of the school, is to go outside and do our own charity work and with the help of my best friend and our batch mate, Eds Genuino, we were able to get sponsorship from Tito Frank Drilon who built a classroom in our behalf.  Around 6 months ago, we went to Katutubo Elementary school

Visiting Ellen

By | Homes and Interiors, Travel, Velada 2012 | No Comments

I was so happy to visit my batch mate Ellen!  Ellen is such an easy person to talk to and she is very open with me which is why I enjoy her so much!

In such a short time, I was able to catch up with her and am happy to know she is happily married with a beautiful son!

AC HS Batch 87 Girls Had a Lot of Fun

By | Velada 2012 | 6 Comments

Last Saturday, my batchmates and I had a lot of fun!!!  I recently made a video summarizing all the fundraising we have been doing the past years.  

Previous Entry:  AC HS Batch 87 Getting Ready for 2012 

In celebration for finishing and raising the money we needed, we had a reunion of batchmates 

Here is another video which I made to put together how we planned for the event and how WE ALL HAD A LOT OF FUN!

 girls-just-wanna-have-fun-words.jpg

[wp_youtube]a3fnvMgp194[/wp_youtube]

girls-just-wanna-have-fun-words.jpg

 

It took almost a year to plan and organize for that one evening and it was all worth it. 

I would like to thank the committee heads and members for all the hard work they put into making this a great success!  

Each and everyone participated – whether small or big – what matters is everyone’s willingness to participate and give to our batch. And we had fun because we all put our hearts into this. 

 

“People obtain pure joy not because they

 

do great things, but, because they do

 

small ones with great

 

love”

As I said, it would have probably been a piece of cake for a few batchmates to just donate the cash, but then it would have defeated the purpose of working together and allowing others to partake and GIVE something from themselves. To GIVE FROM THE HEART.  It’s because they gave from the heart that many have given more than what is expected.  

It’s not always the end product but it’s how all the pieces came together into place- all the meetings, the

coordination, the planning which made the batch stronger as a group 

 “Life is not about destination, It’s about the journey of

being the best person you can be, and being there to make people happy and  give a helping hand.  

It’s about the little things we do along the way that makes our journey and the journey of other people more memorable”

Thank you Tessa for the article which I only saw yesterday which my cousin, Ana, sent me.  You said it perfectly, we hit 2 birds with one stone:

AC HS Batch 87 Getting Ready for 2012

By | Tributes, Velada 2012 | One Comment

I love my batch very much! They are the best!  I love my school.  They complete me 🙂 

As we are preparing for our Velada for next year, we have been fundraising and because of this, we are getting together, working together, bonding and bonding.  It has been fun seeing old batchmates and catching up with them.   

I prepared a slideshow ( in my amateur ways ) to put together a short history of us and what we have been doing in preparation for our Velada next year.  Nothing is more important and more meaningful when you do things – SMALL or BIG – as long as you do them with GREAT LOVE.  This is from the HEART 🙂
