i'm still in a daze. like, a couple of weeks ago i was in davao, and then the next thing i know, i'm back in tacurong. .packing for baguio. then a week later i'm like back home.
i still can't believe all that. i mean, there i was. in baguio, together with 10,500 other YFCs worshipping God. There's more to that, of course. During the days we had around 20 different workshops all over the city and also different competitions. sadly, i wasn't able to get into the workshops since they had a limit of only 200 people per workshop. Note to self: must sign up for workshop on next ILC--which happens to be in Cagayan de Oro, so yeah. I am definitely coming, unless by I'm gonna have to attend summer classes(gasp!).
Like I said before, I have already enrolled and..saw Greysh in person. Our reactions were funny. I kept staring at her and the next thing I know she vanishes.lolz
so anyway, whenever people ask me what my course is, i kind of cringe because it's pretty embarassing-to me, at least. They think I'm gonna be a teacher, and yeah, that's like moral and all, but for people who really know me, that is like, so un-vanessa-like.
Back to the ILC, it was insane, on the second day we all went to SM Baguio to watch the creative competitions like the battle of the bands, set dance and the newest one-individual dance. we were all so glad that the international delegates decided to join contests, unlike last year when they just walked around and did nothing.lol.
anyway, they joined the individual dance showdown, the band--they were so fun, they were all malaysians and they did 3 local songs and the set dance, where they all joined with their cute checkered backpacks with this uh-may-zing song. true, they weren't break dancing or crumping like metro or southern tagalog, but they were good. They were..hataw.
The theme, btw, was TO THE MAX, and the sessions at night were all about living your life to the max and not settling for less..and i was like, thanks, Jesus, for yet again another thing to keep me up at night. lol
anyway, just so that i could take photos and videos to show all my friends who weren't able to come on facebook. last year i sat wayy back and i didn't get to listen very well, so i made bawi this time around. I am still in awe of the fact that it's gonna be in CDO next year, but we're all praying for as much participants as the last one, because when luzon people hear mindanao, they immediately ask aren't you muslims there or something? and i'm like, no. pero my neighbor is ampatuan, so if you mess with me you better watch out--and that's a perk, only with taxi drivers who try to be funny with us.haha
anyway, we were all hanging out at MOA with our luggage, while waiting for the shuttle to Manila, right? and this lady comes up to me and asks what's up and i say we're going to baguio, and she asks me what school i'm from, and i say we're from Youth for Christ, and her face immediately drops. Seriously, screw you, woman. And everyone else who thinks of YFC funny. You have NO idea what you're missing.
