FIA visits BSO

Hi! It’s currently 9:45pm. I’m on my way back to Chicago with Jade, FIA’s webmaster. We’re coming from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. What were we doing in Wisconsin? Well… Jade, Emil, MarkE, Mikey, Pat, and I went to Marquette University (FIA’s ading school) to play capture the flag with Bayanihan Student Organization (BSO)’s families (their version of our AKA program/FIAmilies). The field was slippery and muddy, and it was cold out… but it was A LOT of fun. Jade says, “It was awesome. It was an epic battle and a lot of fun.” FIA should totally play capture the flag this year!

We got to meet a few BSO staff and members; after FIA staff even got free long-sleeve BSO fashion show t-shirts! Yay for free stuff! Well, we also gave their staff FIA shirts as a gift. Sharing is caring!

I’m excited to get to know them more and have them join us at FACT.

Moreover, I just ate sushi at Fujiyama with Jade, his high school classmate Nathan, and Steve, someone we all just met. I had shrimp tempura sushi and salmon & avocado sushi. It was delicious! It turned out to be $12.55 and I gave them $15. Before going to Marquette, we ate at Chipotle with a few of the BSO members. I had a steak burrito bowl. Yum!

Too much detail? Haha, I’m sorry, but… that’s me! Fun fact about Lizelle Marcial: I love adding details and paying attention to detail. ;]

Today was a lot of fun. I’m glad I took the time to go out to Wisconsin to meet new people and play with BSO. I made new friends. :D

Ugh! It smells like skunk!! Haha, we’re on highway I-94 E. OoOOoooo… “I’m Yours” by Jason Mraz is playing now; goooood stuff.

Anyways, I guess I’ll end this now... ‘til next time!

P.S. I miss my “bespren” & co-coord, Mike Orosa! He was supposed to be on this road trip as well, but he had prior engagements. Too bad you had to miss out, bes! You were missed.
