How We Rocked Sports Fest 2015

Who doesn’t love sports?

Well, I’ll be the first to admit that I didn’t. You see, I hadn’t been consistently playing sports for over five years already, and I sorta hated it because I sucked at it and didn’t get proper classes for the sports I was able to try in the past – like golf, ice skating, and futsal.

I never loved it – not until I attended TMA HIGH Unite’s Sports Fest. It’s a one-day sporting event for our awesome and homeschooled high school community to get together, work in teams, and compete in sports! I had the opportunity to attend it last November 2015.

Meet the Explore Team – (the best people I’ve ever met so far!)

Meet the Explore Team from Every Nation, South Africa! They’re an awesome group of people whom I met and spent time with for the past three weeks – and will never forget and am forever changed by. This is our story.

Left to right, clockwise: Riaan, Bert, André, Maryke, Walter, Roxy, Philip, Anna, Gerry, Carmen, Jani, and Marielle.

A weekend with the Word Warriors

Last month (yeeeeeah, better late than never xD), I spent a Saturday afternoon at a rad event called “Poetry Menu II”, which took place at this nifty place called the Tattva Bistro, and was hosted by the Word Warriors. The Word Warriors are a group of slam/spoken word poets based in Kathmandu, and are, of course, rad as well. Here, I shall share the observations, opinions, and experiences I had during the course of the event.

List of 10/10 things #1

Yes, I know. It’s been a long while, as I’d been battling the monsters Writer’s Block, Procrastination, Distraction, and Wandering Aimlessly, so I’d been unable to post for weeks. Thankfully, to come to my rescue, I stumbled upon the latest post from one of my favourite blogs, Scathing Jellyfish, in which Stefan, the author, talked about “Tidbits and Interestings”, which is basically the stuff he’s particularly fond of and looking forward to at that time, and asked us if we could maybe do our own “Tidbits and Interestings” post.

I gladly took up the initiative, because I finally had something nice to write about, and I did have some stuff I really liked and wanted to share about, plus, I really look up to Scathing Jellyfish. It took me a painstakingly long time to make this into something readable, but finally, I did it! So, without further ado, here is a list of Awesome Things 🙂

This Girl is on Fire! (My Ignite 2015 Story)

My whole life was radically changed and dedicated to being on fire for Jesus after attending Ignite 2015, from June 2-4 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Manila!

 

First off, what is Ignite? Ignite is a three-day youth leadership conference hosted by Every Nation Campus – or in my words, the RADDEST party ever I’ve attended in the name of Jesus.

Because it had it all: mind-blowing worship concerts, intense and heart-wrenching messages delivered by stunning speakers, electric crowd participation, opportunities to be BFFs with amazing people from a crowd of 14,000 from 1,486 campuses and 36 countries, and last but definitely not the least, the unmistakable presence of the Holy Spirit. All in all, it wouldn’t be enough to say Ignite was an unforgettable experience; Ignite totally changed my life!
