Themed as "Rise Above The Waves", I find it really apt for me because I consider myself to be in my rock bottom years. Time to rise above it all this coming 2017, right? I'm sure a lot of Bellas can relate, too.

Let's rise above the waves, dearies! |
SM Mall of Asia Music Hall was filled with booths and packed with people. The first booth that I checked out was, of course, the planner selling area. Lots of goodies were on display and I couldn't decide which one to get.

Decisions. Decisions... which cover do you like best? |
But I choose to get the leather version with the big words "Trust Your Heart to Overcome the Waves" printed on it. I think it's important that I see those words everyday. To believe, to trust that everything is going to be alright.

So, after buying a planner, I took a look around the Fair. The first sponsor booth that got me interested was Ked's, where you will be tasked to flat lay some shoes and post on Instagram. I got a PhP500 GC and a souvenir photo for it. Sweet!
But the queue was long on the other booths and it was almost time for my first talk. I chose to attend the "Empower Yourself to Succeed" talk by Ms. Elmie Cadungog. Motivation is precisely what I need right now. (^_^)v

After the first talk, I had the opportunity to check more activities around the Fair. The freedom wall was there and it's been my yearly tradition to write something on it...
How will you rise above the waves? |
...just enjoy the journey! |
I had a good stroke of luck at the Serenitea booth. Just by a centimeter and I could've won nothing. Wheee~
