Hello, I’m back at my blog after four (4) months. I haven’t blogged for the entire summer term, not because I don’t have time and absolutely not because I don’t have anything to share.

A lot of things happened during the past months. I’ve been to a four-day basic masses integration and art workshop in Hacienda Luisita in Tarlac, finished yet another weight training PE, transformed my laptop, explored haircuts, had fun with my classes and my classmates and a lot more.

After finishing my third weight training class in UP, I can say that this summer’s weight training under Sir Marvin Sabado was the most challenging. I’m very proud that I still got a 1.50 from him even though I missed two days of classes during our trip in Hacienda Luisita. All those strenuous days of workout was definitely worth it. Until now, I still continue the abdominals regimen I’ve learned from the class from time to time.

My English 10 class under Miss Loujaye Sonido is so far the best GE I’ve taken in UP. I enjoyed the class plus the outside-the-classroom experiences. I really enjoyed the company of my classmates and our beautiful teacher. My thesis paper partner and I also got a 1.00 on our thesis paper.

Our class went on a four-day basic masses integration and art workshop (Lakbay Sining) with Sinagbayan (Sining na Naglilingkod sa Bayan) at Hacienda Luisita in Tarlac. There I learned to asarol (hoe) the soil at Ka-Gerry’s place. I also enjoyed pumping the poso (handpump) for different people (mostly strangers) for three straight days; which was an instant workout for me in preparation for the upcoming weight training practicals then. Did that for three days and fortunately my triceps didn’t sore up. During the art workshop, we were asked to choose our class. I chose the art workshop as I don’t have a talent in playing musical instruments, dancing and making songs.

During the “last day of summer classes” inside the classroom and even after it, my classmates and I still went out from time to time during deadline of submission of papers and the benefit gigs we had to attend such as the Barikada: Tulong para sa Corazon de Jesus at Hacienda Luisita. Among all of them, I enjoyed Barikada the most. Barikada was a night filled with progressive music and booze – for a cause. I never imagined an activist gig to be that fun.

Being a BLKD fan, I did not miss the opportunity at Barikada to have a fan photo with him. To my surprise, he recognized me even though we only met at Hacienda Luisita. More info about BLKD on at fuckyeahblkd in tumblr.

As compared to my previous summers, I spent lesser chunk of my time in front of my laptop. But that didn’t stop my laptop from giving up. Too bad for my laptop, his owner loves tinkering stuff. And this is how it looked like while I was tinkering (stripping) it:

I decided to give it some decent outfit so I bought filing cases from CDRKing. Eventually, it now looks like this now:

As the summer classes were about to end, I also made a remake of a video I uploaded before. Here’s the remake:

I would like to share moooooooore photos and videos but my body is already giving up. Disclaimer: the next links are potentially offensive and may be NSFW. I’d be wrapping this up with a pull-ups shot taken by a classmate, and a couple of vanity shots I took supposedly for my own consumption.
