+ REVELATION 2.0 REVOLUTION OF TIME PRAISEFEST it was really cool cuz we invited all the “kuyas & ates” that were in YFC that are now in SFC or wherever. there was also a slideshow of MD|VA from the past until now.
+ FLORIDA [last week of june-july something] well since i’ve went there almost every year of my life since i was about 2, I WAS STILL EXCITED. everytime we go there i always have this excitement in me. I LOVE DISNEYWORLD. hahahah [my 2nd home!] my brothers & i got a 5-day pass for universal studios & islands of adventure. so so so so so fun. i had some great memories while talking to sunshine. remember those pick-up lines i told you about nat? muwahahah 8D

[ JULY ]
+ FLORIDA continued..
+ CFC CLUSTER ASSEMBLY i was on KFC DUTY! woohoo i just watched the kids & ran after them & made sure they weren’t making trouble. well of course i had help from other yfc ppl. lol GOOOO KFC!! afterwards, i got to meet the FULL TIME WORKERS the vicente’s & me, ry & chris took them out to CHILI’s. hmmmmm.. seems like yesterday..
+ DANCE PRACTICES FOR CONFERENCE i’ll never forget the practices we had. i always look back to them & start reminiscing. those practices were one of the reasons why my summer was the best. not only the stress & all that work we had to do, but all the fun we also had. i never got tired of seeing everyone’s faces every single day. all those practices were WORTH IT.
+ preparing for conference well conference came, drawing nearer & nearer. we worked so hard for perfection either for the opening number, revolution, when God Ran & the choir. i ever remember spending the whole day w/most of YFC & the FULL TIME WORKERS painting all the decorations & all the PROPS. i loved it ALL!
+ THE DAY BEFORE CONFERENCE [it was the same day as the one right above this one. lol] around 4 or 5, im not sure, we went to COLLEGE PARK for dress rehearsal. that was a tough night. some of you know why [i.e. — the acting workshop] that’s when i lost one of my contacts from crying. err i was mad. well after the acting workshop we went to practice for the “..MY COUNTRY ‘TIS OF THEE!..” we sounded so beautifully w/all the harmonizing. *tear* so b-e-a-uitful. around 12 we got home & we already had guests cuz we were one of the houses that were gonnna ‘house’ the ppl from out of state for conference. i met ppl from TEXAS & CALIFORNIA. & they all were wonderful. well i went to bed as early as i could before the “big day” would arrive.
+ and so the dream begins.. CONFERENCE, DAY 1 i woke up, ate, said goodbye to our guests & made our way to CP for more practice. this is the real thing. of course there was seriousness, but we’d always find a way to find laughter & all that good stuff. well the conference started off w/the opening number & i was in that one. i was really nervous, then i learned to calm down as one of the ate’s told me to. she did my make-up & hair. she really made me feel less nervous. i love her! well as i went up on the stage, i had the chills, but i lifted all the up to GOD & he took all my worries away. as soon as the music started & the lights shined on the stage & all the screaming from the audience gave me motivation. this was all for GOD & i made it thru the night. well i don’t wanna get in all the details of all the 3 days. basically it was one of the best conference’s i’ve ever been to. i’ve been to many as a KFC member beacuse my mom & dad are CC’s but as a YFC member as of now, i felt the fire in this one. praising w/1200 ppl in one room, now that’s a dream. but it became a reality. as all the 1200 ppl raised their hands up to GOD, it felt really good. i’ll never, EVER forget that moment. it also felt good to see all my conference buddies from the last conferences. of course i took millions of pictures, how could i not?! here’s a quote from the mass. without CHRIST, I AM NOTHING. [ooooh! i forgot to mention! VINNIE [my cousin who lives in JAPAN, CAME ON SATURDAY!! man. so much joy those 3 days..]]
+ POST-CONFERNECE PICNIC well that was it. conference was finished. after mostly everyone left, i went back to Ritchie Colliseum. i was pretty empty. it felt different. but the memory will always live on in my heart. around 4 we left to the ladrigan’s house for the postconf. picnic. holy moly that was so fun. i got to chill w/the texas ppl & met 3 ppl from NORCAL! [joseph,rob,bernie] those guys are so cool. i chilled w/them most of the time until i had to leave. woohoo i made new friends! =D
+ DAY OUT W/YFC OUT-OF-STATERS i chilled that whole day w/YFC PPL mostly from WASHINGTON! & some from cali & texas & some of the full time workers. we went to D.C. & wen to the SPY MUSEUM, then we went to GEORGETOWN. it was so fun.. we all bought ice cream then we went to the dock & looked at the water & all the purrty lights. we also sang songs & played games & took more pictures. after that night i got to sleepover ronnie’s house w/all the other millions of ppl that did & chilled more before they left in the morning.

after that long month..here comes:
[ AUGUST ]
+ COUSINS DAY[S] OUT..or at our houses. well conference was done & most of the ppl left to go back home. so now this [i guess] was the month to spend w/my lovely family. we always went over each other’s houses either for parties or just to chill. i remember going to PENTAGON MALL & eating at RUBY TUESDAY’S yelling, “THIS IS THE GREATEST DAY OF MY LIFE” & it was. we kept saying these funny as heck lines such as “nup nup the butol” or “nup nup the big cup” that was hilarious. & there was also this one time when we went bowling then afterwards we went to the krispy kreme factory. mmmmm doughnuts. well as soon vinnie & uncle had to leave, we had a party at our house & we watched THE RING. hahah aw man good times, good times. jennybeth & joesar came & that was surprising. hahah well the cousins all sleptover. there was also this one time when we had sleepovers the whole week at each other’s houses. well when it was our turn to have the sleepover at our house, it was fun. we watched BETTER OFF DEAD & RAT RACE & me, carlo & vinnie battled on MAGICMIC. vinnie won cuz he sang this filipino song perfectly. it sounded funny. hahah oh well he won =) well when they had to go it was pretty sad. well i was glad i got to spend summer w/them. i love my family. my family is the best!

that was the end of my summer.
