2nd Annual San Diego Filipino SDA Convocation/Pickups

So this year, the Filipino Convocation was about a month earlier. I can't say I was too excited for this convocation this year because with school just starting and catching up with Summer assignments, I just was exhausted by the time Friday night came around. Vespers at PV was interesting.. Hanging out in the balcony with Aijalon, EJ, Danny, Ken, and Grace Ann was fun, haha. I was totally ready to knock out when we got back to Fil-Am to rehearse for the Special Feature program after service the next day; I was so cranky! But with a full night of sleep, I was hella ready to get my Sabbath on ;]

I can't stress enough of how much I enjoyed convocation this year! I saw my PV friends again, and the live paintings by Pastor Alex Riano kept me interested. It was amazing watching him paint a different piece every time we went into a new theme. There were 7 themes, the Creation, the Flood, Crossing the Red Sea/the Ten Commandments, Nativity/Crucifixion/Resurrection, Ministry in the Heavenly Sanctuary, Second Coming, and New Jerusalem. Each painting cost over $200 to offset the material cost and what not, but all in all, the experience was dope. I don't know how we're gonna top convocation next year, haha.

After the convocation was a little after party at the Valdez-Sheets house. Hella food, hella fun, and reminiscing about Oshkosh. Got home before midnight.

Enjoy the pictures. :]
