April 7-9, 2010 From Seaduction's apps party, went straight to Partas Station, Cubao 2.30am. Loaded around 3am. SLEEP! The whole trip going to La Union (LU) we (ayin, moley, patrick, lia, doi) were asleep. The only time we had to recharge from the wild apps' party. Around 8am, reached San Juan La Union! What welcomes us? Small waves, not even strong enough to give us a long ride. Why?! The forecast said there'd be waves! We dropped our things in Lola Nanny's, our lodging. We had 2 kubos. Chill place by the way. Perfect tambay place! We had the second floor all to ourselves. Over looking the beach and fresh air. Breakfast at Patubo's. Their __silog ranges from 55-75pesos.

Ronie "Poks" Esquivel, Team Stoked Rider Upon witnessing him surf, everyone becomes a massive fan of Poks Esquivel. Born with one leg and fused toes and fingers, Poks is a supreme example of how a person, through sheer effort and tenacity, can overcome even the most devastating physical disability. Poks can do on one leg what other surfers fail to do with two legs. He sneaks into barrels with ease. He lacerates the lip of a crashing wave with minimal effort. He accomplishes aerial assaults with grace and fluidity. In many other ways, he’s just like the rest of us with our complete set of legs. http://stokedinc.com.ph/2010/12/21/one-legged-wonder-poks-esquivel/ Poks global counterpart in surfing is the lovely Bethany Hamilton. She has gained global recognition and surf sponsors having lost her hand after a shark attack yet courageously getting herself back in prime surfing form immediately thereafter. Well the whole surf world should be even more impressed with R...
Yesterday I saw my colleague coming in late to school. Quite surprised he was late because he came from UP to enroll. All the while I thought enrollment starts today until Thursday, but no it's Monday until Wednesday only. And I filed my leave on Thurs! So I quickly informed our HR the change of my leave to today. By 1pm I was at UP already waiting for my adviser. Doc Amy wasn't around though, so Doc Manzano took over. It was a fast process for me cos I got all the subjects I enlisted for online. Completely done by 2pm. Looking forward to this semester! I'm excited to ace it. One more semester left after this one, and I'm on to thesis writing. Whew! Now I will have to keep reading so I can formulate a better topic proposal. Road to #bestthesis
