This is quite belated, but Spring Break was a blast, although tiring! It was quite possibly the most productive Spring Break I've ever had, with a Shakespeare Festival in Oregon and then swinging down to an overnight stay at UC Santa Cruz two days after. It wasn't as event-filled as some of the Spring Breaks I've heard about, but it's quite the improvement from spending a week napping and on the computer. 
The Friday before Spring Break, it was time for the 3-day OSF fieldtrip with Dramaaa Club. We were a really small group compared to previous years, with just Aldo, Phuc, Jessica Villa, Shayla, Shelby, and me. But I have to admit, I was a little grateful for that because it was such an intimate group! We all hung out with each other and had dinner together and whatnot. We watched three plays; and while I admittedly was a little bored with The Music Man (which was ironically the play i was looking forward to the most), I love love love loved Macbeth (although scary) and Servant of Two Masters (my fave, while ironically the play i looked forward to the least! omg!). Phuc and I went swimming together for the first time in our lives in the first indoor pool of my life in the first suite of my life (win!), and I spent a lot of time snoogling with him and we had our first pillow fight together. 
pillo fite!!!
I ALSO GOT MY CURRY FIX AT OREGON. Yeessss. I've been having that since January. Thank you, Oregon.
Here are photos from Oregon that I jacked from Shelby's Myspace because God knows I am too lazy to upload them myself:

The "super" group picture (lol our group so small). I am so shady! Pun!
I must admit we look damn cute in this picture in our hotel elevator. Dagnabit! D:<!
THEN,
After OSF, I had two days of rest at home before it was time to go to ASF! (lol, osf, asf, get it?!) I was invited a few weeks ago to the "A Step Forward" program at UC Santa Cruz, which is geared towards Filipino students to encourage them to pursue higher education and bring diversity to the UCSC campus. I was the only person from my school going, and one of two people in all of Sacramento county. >.>; However, the mingling was WAY easier than I expected! I was prepared to go loner on the bus, when a guy named Alestair sat next to me and we talked virtually the entire trip and the students chaperones were super entertaining. Then I realized Alestair was "being fresh" with me (slang that i learned on my field trip, yay!) so I stopped talking to him so much. ...
I was super impressed that ASF was COMPLETELY student-coordinated, and I went on campus tours (wtf UCSC has so many stairs) with my UCSC-student sister, had a buffet practically every meal, and I slept in the dorm lounges and got a taste of the community bathroom. I saw like, six deer and a dead banana slug, and brought Phuc a souvenir banana slug pin (which pricked his nipple after sensing that he was a UCD Aggie). I made REALLY good friends with three girls though, Joemma, Jeannine, and Marika from Manteca. How fun!
The worst experience was potentially the sleeping. This is mundane, but I absolutely must complain:
I brought a sleeping bag, and the first night the room was so crowded that a girl slept over my feet, so I'm like 95% sure I kicked her in my sleep without knowing it. I woke up in the middle of the night rolling into my roomie, Elizabeth (>__>), and woke up with an extremely sore shoulder because I slept in the wrong position. The second night was MUCH better, because the Oakes lounge was much more roomy than College 9/10's, so I had my own little safe bubble. I learned I'm a tad too tall for my sleeping bag, so my head needed to hang out and i just had my pillow on the floor. But, my legs got really hot and cramped in the middle of the night, trapped in my sleeping bag, and the zipper got stuck while I was trying to unzip! ;___;
nyeh, sleeping bag
After the stay, there was a bus mix-up and Nor Cal had a school bus instead of the charter bus we originally used. Because the idea of being in a school bus for 7 hours sounded absolutely haunting, I asked my parents to pick me up in San Jose instead. By an awesome pure coincidence, Joeve was there looking for a prom dress, so she and I had lunch together and caught up! How badass.
The evening I got home from ASF, I was pleasantly surprised as I was greeted on Facebook with a wave of friend requests from ASFers wanting to keep in touch after the short-lived weekend. I was surprised that out of 70 participants and an equal amount of UCSC student volunteers, I memorized a LOT of names! These facebook invites flew at me and I was very, "Hay, I know you!" because I really actually did.
I am fortunately less afraid of people than I expected.
Snippet of ASF picturezzz:
