GEM 7: The Lost Race. The lost of human race to be exact. With technology advancing like the speed of light who knows what would really happen. Will androids really be all around? Whatever the future may bring, the human race won't be lost as long as we stay true to what we are and what makes us humans; emotions and feelings (i guess). This year's Gem had even lesser time than previous years, though our dance wasn't top notch and could have been way better, really happy TPDE still put on a pretty good show! My last Gem as a TP student, future Gem would be alumni already. Although the experience wasn't as awesome as previous years and many people i'm close to didn't participate in it, i still manage to enjoy myself somewhat and talk to people i never thought i would even speak to. I got to know more about a lot of juniors and those that were my hi-bye friends. Sometimes, the people who are in your clique or you thought you're close with may not always be there, but if you open up to others i guess you'll discover more about other people that you never thought you'll click with. Surprisingly, i did 4 items- popping, opening item, Anan's item and house-, first time TPDE had a house item and i'm part of it, really happy that Ivan manage to push through this house item. It's the item i enjoyed most this year, though we're damn messy and stuff but it was really great fun. My other item are technically or visually amazing, though i preferred my Gem 6 popping item people and An an's item people(also the extremely crazy fun choreo), i still enjoyed myself in all my items this year(: Lastly, Thank you Ryan, Anan, TPDE and the audience for everything in Gem 7 and for some Gem 5 & 6 too. Photos are more memories sake, below are some, the rest are in Facebook. Much love to everyone.

It's been months since I blogged, everytime I blog I come with a heavy heart. Can't remember the last time my heart felt good about something. As I grow older, you start to know things and I realize the world isn't as simple as I thought. It's full of deceit, selfishness, competition and many other ugly side of the human race. Why can't the world be more simple? People try to bring down criminals, but think about why they are criminals and what circumstances coul have forced them to be who they are. Ask yourself if you were in their situation, wouldn't you do the same. I try looking from other's point of view, but why can't they do the same for me. I'm alway being too nice, but I have my limits too. People take advantage of me being nice all the time. I don't say anything doesn't mean I don't feel anything. Even friends, yes friends. If I feel like I'm having a war with you all the time, this isn't friendship. The environment and people are the one that help motivate you in whatever you do. And I guess dance was the wrong choice, all this while I feel like I'm struggling to fit in. But the dance scene works like this, if you're the best people will flock to you, If not you're just nothing. And I am nothing. I guess I'm tired of this all this while I couldn't see that track and my close friends was all I need. I guess Gem 7 might be my last. For now, I guess I'm still thinking hard about everything

School started already! Hectic hectic last semester. Second week of school and I'm going crazy. Two reports and one test in two weeks. To add on, I've got recital performances and practices, not to forget track training. But I'm not giving up yet(thank you Marcus for the encouragement, you probably won't read this)
