Last Blog of the Semester

Hello everyone. :]

It's three in the morning and with the way I'm planning things out for now and the future... I'm hoping that some of my habits will gradually change for the better...

Asides from that, here are my final announcements before I shun my AB Samahan officer duties out. At least until finals are over... :]

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Interested in participating in cultural presentations?! I'd love to work with you :D Let me know! When January rolls around, I hope to meet with you and plan out presentations for the whole second semester ;]

I also may be looking for an assistant... ;]

In due time, I will have all the presentations up for your viewing pleasure. However, it's always better to first watch them at the meetings :D

SAMAHAN SECRETS
Please check out the website for the most recent update :D Also, stay tuned for insight on THE HIDDEN COMMUNITY that will only be given in Samahan Secrets.

THANK YOUS
Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to learn more about their culture and themselves. These websites were intentionally made to help you along in whatever journey you are taking. But to keep it simple, thank you for reading my blogspots :]

Thank you to everyone who has helped me out this semester. Whether it's with participating in presentations, sharing your knowledge, watching in the audience or even moral support... I'm sorry if I've made people worry - especially in November. I will be doing a lot of reflecting and planning over winter break so hopefully I can prevent some incidents from happening again :]
