My Plan for LEAP09

The Lasallian Personal Effectiveness Program 2009 enrollment will start tomorrow and it looks like this LPEP will be quite different for me.

I would be teaching an AM class in Breakdancing along with Mike and Jap of La Salle Dance Company - Street. I was quite excited when Andrew Tan, representative of CSA texted me last year if I would like to conduct a breakdancing class for LEAP this year. Of course I wanted to but I was a bit nervous because of my little knowledge in the history of breakdance. I told it to coach and she said to take Mike and Jap. This was an investment since it will develop our leadership skills. But it was a good thing we attended a workshop within LSDC-Street training for Danz Dish 4 about breakdancing.

However, my interest in Parkour has persuaded me to enroll in PM class of Parkour and Freerunning. I just couldn't resist. The opportunity can never get closer to me than this! It'll be a whole day of LEAP for me! WOOT!

[PERSEF3 Blog# 2] ME? STRESSED?!

Why ask?

I'm not stressed!

What kind of a student would I be to be stressed? Oh wait... I'm a student artist. Great. Even more work and responsibilities to do aside from making my thesis proposal, blog assignments, and other academic work as a student.

...

...But also as a member of the La Salle Dance Company - Street and with our 4th annual major concert,

Danz Dish 4,
coming up (on February 5 and 6, 2008. Please watch! Visit our booth at SJ walk. Advertisement? ),

I have these posters and tarpaulines that I have to design, AVP commercials of sponsors, minimum of 3 hours per day training, props to make, and other production work to do.

Heck!

Who's stressed?
Me?

And how much time do I have to "de-stress" anyway? Umm... None?! If ever I was stressed (if ever), I would just sit down and do nothing for once. Opposite of everything that I do.

*This is not a rant. I'm just being sarcastic for the humor. I hope nobody would be offended.
But I was serious about watching Danz Dish 4. Please do! Visit our booth at SJ walk.*

[PERSEF3 Blog# 1] A Glimpse of PERSEF1&2

The 1st term of the 1st year of my college life was critical in getting a jumpstart at my academic and social life. None of us knew each other and it was the time to start making friends. PERSEF1 offered us that chance as there are many activities that we did that encouraged teamwork.

PERSEF1 discussed topics mostly about etiquette. We had to create a skit of a scenario where one will be bad and the other would be good. Our skit was quite simple. There's a group of friends which chat together and I played as a newcomer and tried to get into the conversation. I jumped right in speaking at a crazily fast pace,

"Hi, my name is Efren Rodriguez. I'm 16 and I'm short. *Shake hands* I'm 16 and I'm short. *Shake hands* I'm 16 and I'm short. *Shake hands*. I came from the dry lands of Saudi Arabia where all types of water, rivers, seas, oceans, waterfalls, lakes--"

and so on.

PERSEF2 had a different feel because my classmates were from other frosh blocks. We were grouped together and each group would have its own uniform. Our group needed to wear jackets. The others had bandanas, neckties, and other accessories.

I wonder what PERSEF3 has in store for me. Hmm?
