Thank You Jansport for this Super Sized Summer!

I've taken a long vacation and right after I got back from my Bohol and Cebu trip, this comes along!

It's the Jansport Super Sized Summer: Our Last Hurrah Before the School Year Starts! This was indeed a welcome message to me and my friends because we don't want the season to end YET! Rod Magaru and I even went and joined their competition at the Mall of Asia: By the Bay Grounds. We were both late so don't ask about how we fared... but we basically did the Inflatable Obstacle Course, the Coin Swimming thing, and lastly the Wall Climbing! OMG! It was one of the hardest things I've athletically done in a while LOL! But I think we survived it!

Being a backpack lover that I am, JANSPORT is pretty much a staple. This is a confession: I've got around 30 bags at home of different sizes and shapes. I've probably had 3 Jansport bags in my lifetime, not because I'm cheap... but because its so comfy and so durable! It lasted a couple of years and I even influenced some of my friends to get it. You'll surely never gonna look bad when you have this on your back right? Because of its stylish and colorful variety it has been an early fashion statement for highschool/college guys and girls. It became a must in our school to have one because its practical and doesn't sacrifice anything on the "looks" department. You'll be the envy of everyone too!

Students, professionals, anyone of any age, shape or form all went out this afternoon to enjoy what Jansport had prepared for us. It was nice to see faces light up when they finish the whole course. I didn't even know there were prizes up for grabs, then it hit me... Oh.... so that's why those people were dead serious when the game started! LOL

For what it's worth, I enjoyed having fun with my friends and new ones I met in the event. I got shots of those who won in the race. I was so excited to see Students won since there were professional athletes in the mix. Life is gonna be so good for them these coming months I'm sure coz they won some hefty amount of change!

Congratulations to these two guys! They won 50,000 pesos in cold cash! Perfect to end the day with that!

We're so FLY like that!

I can't wait for what Jansport would have next year. This event has really been so successful! Congratulations to the winners and everybody else like me who had so much fun before school starts! Thank you so much to Jansport and Primer Group of Companies who made this event a resounding success!

First Day Funk!

It's June once again and everybody in this side of the world is preparing for their first day of school year 2009 - 2010. In anticipation of the huge traffic and markets picking up this season, I travel a lot earlier now so I would not be late for work. I am also trying to find the perfect bag for my NIKON D60 which I bought for my self this month. It may be expensive but that ended my frustrations in photography so it is well worth it.

Aside from that, I was sponsoring a child in a local charity. I did that so there would be something good to do this year. Good thing I have friends who share the same passion that I do so it was not that hard. We bought some school supplies, personalized kids backpacks and a couple of toys to go with it. At least they will have a better time studying while playing on the side right?! I wonder why I never get to do that when I was a kid... ha-ha!

At home, we are going to have a hard time this week because the person who we pay for weekly to wash clothes is out of town. She is not going back until next week, so I'm sure our laundry bag is going to be filled. I have been looking for alternatives but you know how expensive laundry services are in Manila. If you do not do it by bulk it would even be more expensive.

I've got a friend who also gave birth to a bouncing baby boy this evening. I'm so glad I get to be part of the whole process, not the making the baby part obviously but more on taking care of the Mom. You see, she's not that safe in doing these pregnancies and this one in particular is included. I hope she does not read this entry because she will know about the baby memory book I got her this time. The kid is so cute; no picture is going to be wasted!

I have so many plans in so little time; I hope everything turns our right. Let's do the first day funk!
