She was a daughter of Zeus, described as a beautiful woman. Her abduction by Paris triggered off a series of events which finally ended in the Trojan War.

November 17, 2009: The babo sisters went to the mall after their class in history. (i like Tuesdays, kasi isa lang ang class ko ang it's only until 9am^^). I looked for slacks again and finally bought the one na madyo 'okay' nalang sa akin..Then the three of us went to Chowking para kumain..lolers.. basta kainan talaga^^..

After naming mag hang out sa mall- kina Dency naman kami tumambay--------->



November 18, 2009: Major class! Our topic in the morning was about Leadership and Management. After our 15 minutes break, our CI gave us an activity. It was super fun! The activity was called 'Build me a Tower'. Inorder to build a tower, we need materials and ung materials lang ni ma'am yung pwede naming gamitin but we need to buy them from her pa. So we need to sell the things we have to gain money to buy materials. We sold almost everything we have kasi yuing prices depende sa value ng gamit (buti nalanag ang dami kong dalang gamit that time ahaha). The most expensive item to sell are the clothes we are wearing which cost 1000 each. Buti nalang we had 4 boys in our group, nagka-4000 agad kami. Unfortunately sa group nina Dency and Shin-ah unnie, wala silang masyadong boys so they have no choice but to sell some of their clothes as well. Lolers talaga kasi a few of them ay naghubad talaga ng shirt and pants (gaya ni shin-ah unni..^^); they hid lang sa likod ng big curtains ng AVR (kasi dun ung room namin). Anyways, after a few minutes, nakagawa nga kami ng tower. Amin yung pinakamataas (buti nalang) ang it was a factor kasi isa yung sa criteria pala (last na sinabi ang criterias, loka talaga si ma'am hehe). Di sinabi kung sino yung first place sa tower, but i hope kami although amin yung pinaka-pangit hehe (strong naman kasi ung foundation namin tas mataas pa haha).

Then when afternoon came, iba naman yung topic namin and ibang CI naman. It was about Professional and Personal Development and CI namin yung maka-Dara na kpop fan din (ata..hehe di ako sure eh). Last week, she gave us an assignment; we have to wear formal clothes daw on the next lecture that we'll have with her na para bang pupunta kami sa isang job interview. Sya ang reason why we need those danm slacks..AIGOO~~ It was a boring and hot afternoon for me; kasi naman di kami sa AVR nag lecture kundi sa room 230 lang haaaay sayang lang yung porma namin..haha! But it was still fun though <3
