One Filipino

Let's just focus first on the stickers here. One Filipno was a project spearheaded by my good friends, where people with alike minds gather to discuss different aspects of us being Filipinos. Check OneFilipino.org.uk for more details.

The next thing we focus is on the bottle. I was in charge of materials and getting volunteers together. I had trouble finding this bottles (minus the stickers).

Marky (one of the project heads and my good friend) suggested this water bottles that he used at home. It's reusable and looks fancier than just plastic bottles. But I just couldn't find it. I checked most grocery store, well mostly Waitrose, for this water bottle that he was talking about. Plus I didn't understand what was so special about it. He ended up buying all the bottles in the picture. I put the stickers to make look neat. Oh how I wish I actually kept one of these. I wonder where this are now.....

Meetings

Life in London consisted of meetings at the Philippine Embassy. This was for One Filipino, in preparation for a town hall meeting back in early 2011. As you can see, I would be the only girl in the group. But then my presence is much more needed to make sure things don't go out of order on the actually day. I was more the observer to make sense of all that has been said.

There was more of a back story to why I was here too. If I didn't (so-called) attend this meetings, I wouldn't actually be able to talk or see my two good guy friends, who were spearheading this project. Oh well, feels so long ago now. So many things have happened since then - good and bad, but that is for another day.

Btw, the pink jacket is mine.
