The Road to Brazil 2013 (Part 1 of 3)

De La Salle University

17 July 2013 - It was a Wednesday and I was sitting in my Introduction to Philosophy class. With a professor who interestingly explains the conscious and the unconscious and with my natural instinct to take notes, I was physically there but mentally miles away.

Sandwiched between my friends Anton, Jeline, Sofia, and Rupert (who were all wearing pink except Rupert who was wearing green), I think I made the most noise and distractions that day. Two of us played a pen and paper game while the other three were unusually distant and were crowding together. 

To my surprise, by the end of the period, they gave me a "Have fun in Brazil" card. It was the sweetest gesture that day. Thanks for the sunshine, you guys <3

We called ourselves "The Watchmen" since we all wore watches.
We also wore pink every Wednesday.

The 1st Google Student Leader's Summit PH

At 8:00 in the morning of the 27th of April 2013, I eagerly went up the elevator of the JVC Building in Aguirre street in Makati City. I remember being enthralled by the buttons of the elevator because you see that they were kind of from years back because of their design - white, plastic, and opaque and the whole button lights up when you click them. But when the elevator bell buzzed to signal I was in the 3rd floor (the Orange and Bronze Inc. offices), I immediately snapped out of my enthrallment. As the door opened, the voices of chit chat slowly filled in the elevator. 

As I stepped out, I was greeted by the light gray carpet and fifty (50) student leaders from across the metro talking to one another. Some were seated on the couch, some were on the coffee table chairs, and the others looking out the window. There were some familiar faces from the university where I come from and we said hi. Right after, I saw the other Google Student Ambassadors - Ryan Caro (who spearheaded this event), Kirk Jamison, and Kriztoff Dela Cruz. We were also greeted by our new friends from Orange and Bronze Inc.
