“Marry your crush” – The most quoted speech of all, I guess, during the AYLC 2013. It’s like choosing to pursue and being engaged to a course of action that you really love to do and which you can live with everyday. With this motivation, one can achieve real efficiency and extreme tirelessness. This was the most of all the loads of positive vibes, realizations, thoughts and feelings that the 15th Ayala Young Leaders Congress 2013 has directed me. Being part of the finest youth leaders in the Philippines couldn't get any more awesome especially when you all get to gather in the spirit of humility while you recognize one another's strengths and weaknesses. I am glad I have these people whom I can count on in forwarding my endeavors and the whole society's interest. With just 4 days in time, I’ve had 80 soulful people who haven't only become my acquaintances, but also another family from all parts of the country.

At first, I wasn’t that confident applying for AYLC, though it was really my dream. I just thought that my life then was already complete; I am doing well with all the aspects of my life and making quite difference to the society on what I am currently doing. So I’ve concluded that I no longer need such or anything that will contribute to my completeness. But then again, life is a continuous learning process, so I’ve decided to go on for my application and luckily I passed the 2nd phase of the search, the interview. 5 days before the interview, I got dengue. I was in total hotness, literally. My mom and I were arguing if I’m still going to Makati with all my rashes and dengue syndrome, but I chose to pursue. “HELLO? AYLC ni, papalampason ko pa?” So I’ve got in to the interview and experienced being screened by the top caliber senior executives of Ayala Corp which I wasn’t really confident with. After my not-so-good interview, there was this feeling in me that I am not going to make it to the

    Today was the day. The big day. My election for Lieutenant Governor of Division 2B for Key Club, an international service club, was today. Fear and anxiety pricked my skin in rapid movements emanating from every pore. I rehearsed my speech for the fifth time that day. Upon arrival at the Fairfax Library, I urged myself to remain calm. I quickly scouted out the other girls who were present; one girl was dressed professionally with a folder in her hand. I knew that was my competition. The girl spoke eloquently and genially, she radiated enthusiasm and a certain warmth that I did not have. With every question that was asked, she answered with a smooth smile and high-pitched tone that was dripping with sincerity. I bristled inside; I had just been slapped. I was shrouded in a cloud of anxiety and anxiousness. Suddenly, I was dragged from my reverie.…

    Matrimony is not to be entered into impulsively, unadvisedly or lightly but advisedly and seriously. ‘I kissed hundred frogs before I kissed my husband’ is a typical expression of a modern woman. But with the advancement of IT, modern day matrimonies are different ball game altogether. Gone are the days of dependency and those husband-facing-wives. In digital life, love is redefined: casual and eases. Love is now a matter of chance and convenience, matrimony is a matter of give and take, and divorce is not an outrage. Yet, marriage, which is still being expected to be an everlasting union, is really an achievement for both. They remain -- till death part…
