Student cuts

August 20, 2014

I had to be at the Trapeze rig by 2:30 pm. I left the house at 11:30 am for traffic allowance and also because I wanted to mow the lawn. When I arrived at the BGC bus station at Ayala, I decided that maybe I should avail of the Tap Card since I often commute to BGC anyways.

I paid 150 Php (100 for load, 50 for deposit) for the card. I get charged 9.80 Php as opposed to the standard rate of 12 Php (Student Discount).

They asked for my student ID to verify my identity as a student, and then they gave me my Tap card. Halfway through the bus ride I realized that the counter lady forgot to give me back my ID (or I forgot to ask it back). So, I had to take the bus back to the Ayala Terminal. The trip going back took me an hour. It was already 12:30 pm when I arrived at the terminal. After getting my ID, it took me 30mins to get to the rig. 

I was the first person to arrive at the rig. which wasn't surprising, since the call time is at 2:30 pm. So, I began mowing the lawn and cutting up the tall grass that was covering the lines. The only thing I didn't like about cutting the tall grass was that kuya Eduardo was scouting the spot where I was cutting the grass and he told me that he could hear a snake nearby. It scared me, but it gave me more reason to cut the grass. 

During our first class, I got a cut while assisting at the board. I probably got it from the clips, but this is the first time that it has happened to me. And it hurts.

Hey look its Tinkerbell in the background

After our last class, I headed to Bam bam's place since camile and gab were there hanging out (and I needed a ride home). We played cards against humanity (which was a pretty sick game) and they had some alcoholic drinks. I passed on drinking alcohol coz I recently just got wasted ( and I don't want to feel wasted anytime soon). Gab got so drunk that he actually asked me if I could drive his pick-up for him. 

Tinkerbell and Lucky fell asleep on my lap

Despedida of Dan

August 18, 2014

I got wasted last night. We had a despedida for Dan coz he's going back to Stockholm so we decided to drink at the trapeze. We did net races, balancing on the slack line, card games, etc. I vomited twice on the grass (I made sure I didn't vomit on our turf), and luckily I got a ride home. I probably scared my maid again by banging on her door, asking her to open the door.

When I woke up the next morning, my mom was scolding me already. Ugh, as if the hangover isn't enough of a punishment for me. I think vomit went up my nose coz everything smelled like alcohol to me. like, when I went downstairs, the kitchen smelled like wine. And then it smelled like tequila when I went to the bathroom. I pointed this out to my mom but she thought I was fooling around (as usual) and told me "tigilan mo nga ako danise!". haha


I don't get to post that often because trapeze is taking up most of my time, But I'm not complaining, I love trapeze.

Internship!

Aug 3, 2014

Today was my second day interning for Flying Trapeze Philippines. I was a bit shaky after my first swing, but I felt like I wanted to go up and do it all over again after a few swings. My whole body is aching right now because of futsal and trapeze, but its a good kinds of sore.. like the kind that you can feel like your muscles are forming.

During training I realized that I really do need to gain some pounds. There was this part during training that I had to hold on to my co-worker, and then I had to lean back so that he wouldn't fall, but since he was heavier than me, I ended up being pulled and eventually I had to let him go. Good thing the trainer was there to guide me and it didn't go as bad as it could have.

Also, I was finally able to do a knee hang glide! :D But, I wasn't able to land properly so.. I gotta work on that :p

I can't wait to go back and train again! This is like, THE BEST internship ever! :D
