It’s time for your school fair, and everyone’s required to volunteer. What’s your contribution? Manning the Jail Booth – it’s a great way to meet new people! Taking shifts at the First Aid table. Leading the Planning Committee – you want to be involve from Day One. Putting your classmates on the spot and getting them paired with their crushes at the Marriage booth! Resident bantay at the Harana Booth – it’s so cute to see your friends being serenaded.

It’s almost summer! How are you spending the next few months? Joining a summer acting workshop at Trumpets. Accompanying your best friend on that summer camp she so wants to join. Trying your hand at running a small cookie business in your village. Absolutely nothing – that’s the best thing about summer, the freedom to chill and just do whatever you want every day. A ton of projects! Soccer training, art classes, beach trips – the possibilities are endless.
Your parents say you can go anywhere in the world for the summer break. What’s your number one travel destination? New York City – you can’t wait to experience what the buzz is all about! Your family farm in the province – you love the lazy afternoons spent picking ripe fruit and tending to the cute little animals. Egypt. Not everyone gets to see a cradle of civilization firsthand. Around the world. You’re not afraid to ask your parents if you can journey through every continent because when opportunity knocks, your answer! DisneyWorld – who can resist the “happiest place on earth”?

Your crush asked you out! What’s your dream date? A fun group date with his friends and yours at the bowling alley. Him packing you a yummy picnic at the park. Something really unique – like an afternoon taking a walking food tour of Manila. Catching a John Lloyd-Bea movie at the theater. It might sound embarrassing, but that would make for a hilarious first date! Something totally romantic! Fancy dinner, dozens of roses, and a moonlight walk.
