Saturday Activities

My Saturday was spent for extra curricular activities. No acad stuff at all! My day began early morning 5am at Mcdo Katipunan for the dragonboat training. Our usual meet up place of the Katipunan Crew. Before it used to be me, Bry, Neka, Klar and Mannix. But now we're getting bigger that one assigned car of the day is sometimes not enough.

Anyway, loading time yesterday at 6am. 30 push ups welcomed us for being late! Program for the day: 2 sets 20 drops, 3 sets of 300m, then switch sides. What made the training harder is the new form that our coach wants us to do. Before we were used to bending our digging arm but this time both arms should be locked straight. It forces us to twist our body and make the movement of our paddles come from our upper body and not from our arms. Apparently there were studies that show that straightening both arms maximizes the pull more. Yes, entry of the paddle is much shorter but the intensity of the pull is much stronger. Everyone on the boat was still adjusting to the new form. Our body still adjusting as well. Few more trainings and we'll get used to it. It'll probably take us to the finals of the upcoming Second Leg on July 25. Tara UP LABAN!

After the tiring training, it's just fitting that we fill our stomachs with delicious Jollibee food. I love Jollibee's Crispy Chicken Joy! Mouth watering crispy chicken skin! I was supposed to go home right after breakfast with Bry and Tessa but it was hard to resist the clingyness of the boat. So from Jollibee then off to Yves' house for more tambay mode.

Went home by 1230pm. I got the stove and the frying pan that will be used for the MBS apps-mems acquaintance party.

Chill party at MBS tambs! Surpsingly there were a lot of apps who attended. They almost out numbered the mems. Isaw baboy and manok, chica, mani for all! Wow the apps were so diverse and young! To complete the day, dinner at Kabab corner!

Yeaahooo! The much needed Saturday club after a stressful and haggard week in school. Can't wait for this week to end!

5am in the morning we arrive at SM Mall of Asia (MOA) parking lot. I was with Phoebe, James, Jedd and Jay, who drove us. There were already a lot of participants roaming. I got off the car and started securing my toe nails with band aid! Ayokong matanggalan ulit ng kuko. Dalawaang beses na kong natanggalan. By 5.15am we were with the rest of the UP MBS runners. Yeahay! It's my first ever 10k run. 5.30am the event began. RUN! The MBS pack run All of us running together. I couldn't have finished 10k without the MBS support. I really can't believe I made it! I'm so proud of myself. An hour and 15 minutes of running. Whew! Now we have a time to break weee. My legs and feet are still aching! But the whole experience was worth the pain. Here's to more runs and a healthy lifestyle! More Photos

Short Lived 2 of 2

I learned and discovered things about myself and about relationships that I wouldn't have known without having gone into that short lived relationship. Lower the tone of my voice. He's the first person who told me that I talk as if I'm angry or picking a fight. And then I got it validated by a colleague who told me to hear myself when I speak weeks later. I'm very cautious now. I believe I have the sweetest voice already! Be vocal of how I feel . There's nothing wrong with showing your vulnerable side to your partner. Trust that your partner wont judge you or belittle you .  Be open and honest with everything. No secrets. Your partner has the right to now after all he's the one who should be able to listen to you and help you. Getting into relationship means hard work . It's not always fun times. Be ready to battle with different situations. Not everything is about YOU. Don't be self centered. I learned I have insecurities I need to fix. I nee

3 1K LOSS

 Today I lost 1K USD. It's the initial amount I invested on XTB. I'm now left with 223 USD, which is the total profit I gained since the day I started trading for real (Sept __, 2023).  Here's what happened. I mistakenly opened a wrong position. I checked long frames and they seem to be down trend. I put a trend line on h1 frame and it's also going down with 3 candles going up. I figured those were negligible and will eventually go down. I went on to check m1 frame and as soon as it went down trend, I clicked red for sell. And less than few minutes, trend went up. Increasing my loss too. I couldn't look anymore so I logged out.  My strategy was to let it open overnight, thinking it will eventually go down to the set TP. Hours later, XTB automatically closed my position at -1023 loss. I couldn't believe it. 3 weeks worth of trading with consistent gains, now all gone in just few hours and one single mistake.  Ok I understand now that it will take forever to get b
