She then meets Meredith, a fellow American, who lives next door to her and offers her choco chaud or hot chocolate and it the homesickness becomes bearable.

Enter Étienne St. Clair (Eh-t-yen), the beautiful half American, half French with a French name and British accent. Only, he's a few inches shorter than her. And she has a gorgeous boyfriend.

Étienne takes her around the City of Lights on her first weekend. Anna is in love with the city. And with him too.

Legend is set a hundred years in the future where United States of America is divided into two, the military Republic of America and corporate owned Colonies of America. Daniel Altan Wing, aka Day, is the Republic's number one criminal. Having failed his Trials and having his body experimented, he is believed to be dead.

Day is fifteen years old and he can climb buildings taller than him. He moves fast like he's flying making him very impossible to track. There is a plague spreading in the slum sectors, where he is born. And unfortunately, his family has been hit by the plague. He is desperate to save his family.

Enter June Iparis, the Prodigy. As the name suggests, she is the only one who scored a perfect score 1500 in her Trials at age 10. A known troublemaker at school, she is the youngest Republic agent at age 15.

Their lives become intertwined when June's brother, Metias, is murdered and everyone believes that it was Day who killed him.

But not everything is what it really seems to be.

Happy Friday! Man, this week flew by so fast. But one thing is for sure, there's only one week left and then it's summer!

Last Monday was the 3rd Gawad Telon, the annual awarding ceremony for Directing and Theater Production class under Sir Edward 'Dudz' Teraña. It was my first time to go to a party straight from my school. Makes me feel so badass. :)

Our production, YOLO Production, won 5 awards! And our section, MC1138, bagged most of the awards!

I feel so proud for everyone. Our section went through many fights and eye rolling but in the end, all of it paid off. We were cheering for everyone last Monday night. No words can describe how fun that night was. And how many cocktails we drank. ;)

So without further ado, Gawad Telon Photodump. :)

(Our first award! Best Poster! Thanks Bry, our ever awesome Photoshop guy/Technical Director)

(Nicole, Me and Gayle...Slightly...You know.)

I was slightly wasted. I mean, the drinks were awesome and it was overflowing. 'Twas a fun night. I am going to miss MC1138 and of course, YOLO Production. Four months of being with them feels like forever. See you guys at the hallways of the Arts Building, 2nd floor! Good luck to all of us.

With that, I bid adieu. Till next time!
