Classes about to start! - 30 July 2012

Our first class photo together!

 I met the other half of my batchmates today and read the full list of incoming MPA students. Indeed, I am the only one from the Philippines to represent my proud country in this year's MPA program. Nakaka-excite na nakakakaba. I am not just representing myself, I am representing the inherent beauty, hospitality, kindness and resilience of my fellow Filipinos in this batch. 

Getting ready for the orientation and teambuilding seminar!

Lord, this is it!!!

At dahil diyan, I can now formally introduce myself in a typical Miss Universe fashion, "MCRHON BANDERLIPE, 22, PHILIPPINES!!!!"

So happy to be here!
