"Fall in love. Stay in love. And it will decide everything."  - Fr. Arrupe

Nakakatuwa rin ang araw na ito!
Ayun... syempre simula ulit sa aking pagkagising nang maaga... ayun, cram ulit ng mga stuff na kelangan.
Inayos ang letters for double major at yung rizal award chuva.
designed the CD we got from World Bank to be passed before 12nn to Ate Malou (yes, note to clark, para hindi ka na mag-F ulit)
9:30am, biglang tumawag si Ate Julie: "Clark! May meeting with Dr. Cuyegkeng ng 10am regarding LS Christmas party! Punta ka na school!"
HUWWWAATTTTTT?????? panic panic. aynako... parati nalang ganyan ang VP's office pag nagtatawag ng meeting.. hehe
Ayun... tawag agad sa mga COA people.. Joy pwede ka? Jun pwede ka? At buti nalang, pwede si Mika - ang ever-reliable COA CB officer ko.
With that fixed, balik sa pagcram ng mga documents.
Had to run to gateway to buy a "goodbye" card for Ate Nancy.
Pagdating sa Ateneo, ayun, takbo sa RSF, COA room, Eco dept, SOM dept, Kostka Xerox and ADSA in 30 minutes ^___^
Buti nalang pinaalala ni Krista na 7 copies pala kelangan sa Rizal thing.. Dyusko! takbo sa xerox machine! hinabol ang 12 noon deadline.
Tapos takbo sa Philo class sa ISO... infairness, maganda ang naging discussion today. Something about Cultural Relativism... Na just because different cultures have different moral codes, that does not imply that there is no encompassing rule on morality... that it solely depends on any group's culture.
After class, balik sa COA room. Magpapahinga na sana pero biglang tumawag ulit si Ate Julie: "Clark, gusto kang mameet ni Ma'am Pia. Now na. Dala ka ng COA officer din".
WALEY!!! Kamusta naman the impromptu meetings! wahaha
Of course, si Mika nanaman dinala ko.
The meeting with Ma'am Pia was fruitful.. I love Ma'am Pia talaga! Inabot kami ng 1 hour kasi kinuwento ko pa lovelife ko (or the lack of it). hehe. Ibang level talaga si Ma'am Pia.
Ayun.. 2:30 balik sa AMA Mall. Bumili ng Banana Jam na produkto nina Fren at Fong at Ja. Bumili rin ako nung turon na may fruit cocktail sa loob. Infairness, medyo weird sya tingnan pero masarap!
Tapos, meet ulit sa COA room. Nagpractice ng aming goodbye song for Ate Nancy with Raf playing the guitar.
At exactly 4:15, COA surprises Ate Nancy with a senti song na nakalimutan ko ang title.. hehe. Of course we gave narin the card.
And oh my God!!! Trick or Treat ng SPEED. May mga special kids na dumating sa OSA with full costumes!!!! May isang kid niyakap kami lahat isa-isa. Oh my God... natouch ako sobra. Effort talaga ang mga costumes. Nakakatuwa kasi sa kabila ng kanilang kapansanan (not sure if tamang word), parang may genuine happiness parin sa loob loob nila. At the same time, nakakalungkot kasi yung iba talaga mapapansin mong hirap sa kanilang condisyon... Mabuhay ang SPEED sa pag-aalaga ng mga special kids!
At yun... hindi ako nag-attend ng Seniors Assembly.. Feeling ko pakana lang ng Placement na sabihing required para marami pumunta. Dyusko! Seminar on resume writing.... kamusta naman.
Kaya nanood nalang ako ng movies sa aking laptop, na walang paalam na nilipat ng mga peste kong COA officers nang hindi ako sinasabihan.. whahaha.. pero infairness, natuwa ako kasi ang dami nang movies ng laptop ko! hehe
6pm, COA CB meeting. Sumabay lang ako kay hector papuntang Kenny's
May mga lecheng jembet na dumating at nag-ingay nang todo. Kahit nung nagdadasal na kami, ang ingay ingay, walang konsiderasyon.
Pero nakakatuwa after kasi biglang ng singing lessons tong si Raf. For the caroling kasi. Ayun... O Holy Night. Dyusko! Ang hirap pala! At syempre si kagandahang Alfred ay kinanta ang Mariah Carey version ng Christmas song na ito.
After nun, diretso sa PMSA party entitled PULSE at Katips Bar. Nakasalubong si Allan Espinosa kaya hinila ko narin.
Inuman, kwentuhan. Naglaro ako nung dice game ng isang sponsor at nanalo ako ng..... stationery. ^___^ WALEY
Nakita sina Carlo Roy, Dada, Koi. Pati na mga COA CB na sina Geng, William, Sare, Jun, Raf, Saz, Jim, Joy. At siyempre ang presidente ng PMSA na si Mooch. Congrats talaga sa PMSA for a successful party!
Sumabay kay Raf pauwi.
Nakatanggap ng napakasayang email! Pasado ako dun sa ASEAN Conference na gaganapin sa Singapore ng December 9-19. Shet... sobrang dream ko to... ang makapaglingkod sa ASEAN... Pero sadly, yung kaibigan ko hindi na nakatanggap. Hay, buhay nga talaga no? Ang labo. Hindi mo alam kung dapat ka bang matuwa o malungkot sa mga bagay-bagay na nangyayari. Shet. Pero ganun talaga. Marami talagang HIGHS at LOWS ang buhay ng tao. Kaya sa huli, Umasa lang sa Kanya. Fall in love. Stay in love. And it will decide everything.

Another roller coaster day today. May clear highs and, of course, may clear lows.

Woke up at 9am... so I totally missed the talk of Gov. Ed Panlilio... :(
Hay, slept kasi at 5am thinking of well... the usual yearnings i have in life.
Well, I was supposed to start soon with my thesis assignment (8 papers to read and summarize). Instead of staying home, i decided to go to school despite my sickness. I just cant work at home.
Dropped by Seattles to buy a White Chocolate Mocha to make myself happy.
Went straight to AEA room (Hector and friends were at the COA room fixing the new computer that Joy donated).
Started reading... kept getting distracted every 5 minutes.... hay Clark, get over it!
Ended up bugging Jez and Joy.. Then Krista came so I ended up talking to her as well. 6 hours to go before deadline of paper.
Joy Concepcion came, told me how great the talk was... sayang talaga... so yun.. ended up talking to her as well... 5 hours before deadline.
Shet... wala pang half of the first reading, and to think I had 7 more papers to go!
130pm came... Krista was telling me not to cut Sescon..
But it was raining and I was pretty depressed, so there... I cut. Received a text. Ignored it.
Continued reading. Cant concentrate again.
Went down to OSA. Talked to Geo-Ann about my problem. Sobrang okay talaga si Geo-Ann sabihan ng secrets in life.
Ate a sandwich for lunch (libre kasi.. tira from Gov. Panlilio's talk)
Continued reading sa COA room... keeps getting distracted again...
Decided to visit the AMAmall to buy a stuff toy (hehe... as in swear... i was so distracted)
I BOUGHT PANDA!!! Finally, nakahanap narin ako
Saw Tricia Uy (my gad... ang tagal na naming di nagkikita).. Ayun, of course my standard greeting of my friends - nilait ko muna siya. tapos yun... naging seryoso yung usapan about Bebe.. At after nun, sinabihan ko nalang yung tindera na mag-ingat sa kanya kasi baka marami siyang nakawing mga kagamitan. wahahaha! shet namiss ko talaga si Tricia.
Went back to the COA room.. pucha! Pagbalik puro FOREIGNERS from ASEC. Kamusta naman! haha!
Had to sneak in and get my laptop in the middle of the meeting.
Balik sa AEA room para tapusin ang paper... shet. 3 hours to go at isang reading palang ang natatapos ko out of the 8.
Ayun... crunch time. hindi na pinapansin lahat ng dumadating... nadidistract parin paminsan-minsan.
Dumating si Fren, mukhang malungkot at pagod. Magreresign na raw siya... Hindi ko alam kung tutuluyan na talaga niya this time.. Pero i guess ganun talaga ang hamon sa mga student leaders... napakahirap ng emosyonal na labang kailangang harapin parati ng mga student leaders. Mabigat sa puso. Kailangan mo talaga ng mga marunong sumalo sayo gaya ni Geo-Ann ng OSA. Biyaya talaga.
Gave up. Stopped reading halfway ng 2nd reading. Inimbento nalang yung rest of the paper.
Takbo sa RSF para ipaprint. Nandun din si Raf, nagcracram din.
Akyat ng Eco Dept for Thesis class. At wala ang kalahati ng class (ayan eh... nagcram lahat)
Pagpasok ni Beja, sabi, "you didnt follow instructions".
Lahat kami tingin sa syllabus. PUTANGINA! Nakalagay: "All homeworks should be passed to Ate Malou/Sai who will put a time stamp on it and forward it to Mr. Beja. Anyone who fails to do this before class will receive an F in that requirement".
SHOCK. Looks around the class... What a sight! The tired faces of my classmates who really got so stressed with ALL the readings for this paper... tapos biglang for nothing lang ang efforts???
Nalate si Gen... pagdating niya, pinanood ko ang kanyang facial expression as Krista silently pointed to the above statement written in our syllabus. True enough. Parang gumuho ang mundo ni Gen.
Hay nako Beja.... sinayang mo ang pagod ko... but oh well. Chuva lang ang buhay.
Ayun... sa sobrang sama ng loob ng klase, nag-imibitahan kaming... KUMAIN sa labas. haha
Tamang-tama, nagdinner ang ASEC foreigners sa TOSH. Nakikain kami. Maraming nakilalang mga foreigners. Nose bleed. Pero nakakatuwa ang mga usapan. At least naman natapos nang maayos ang araw na ito.
Ayun... sumabay si Raf pauwi. Paguwi ko, diretso sa kama. Blog. Isip. Ignatian Examen. YM.
Infairness.. roller coaster ang araw na ito gaya ng iba pang mga araw ng semestreng ito. Nakakatuwa na ang dami palang pwedeng mangyari sa isang araw. Akala ko talaga na nasayang lang ang araw na to kasi buong araw kong ginawa yung paper ko na hindi rin pala tatanggapin ng aking guro.. But lo and behold, marami-rami rin palang nangyari. Nakakatuwa talaga ang buhay minsan. :)
Ayun... last day na ni Ate Nancy sa OSA bukas... Nag-aayos na ng surprise. Mukhang magiging masaya rin ang bukas. Ang sarap ng feeling na you're looking forward to tomorrow each night of your life - parang feeling mo ang sarap mabuhay sa kabila ng lahat ng mga issue at "distractions". Nakakatuwa. Gaya nga ng sabi ni Ginoong Lagliva, umasa lang. :)

gotta love this sem :D

  • Nov. 20th, 2007 at 1:47 PM
Finally!!!! BLOG ENTRY!

Well, the reason why I'm reviving this blog again is because (1) tapos na ang stress sem!!! yey yey yey! goodbye freakingly difficult ME subjects!, and (2) because of a talk given by Bro. Francis Alvarez on Discernment.

First of all, I super super super love this semester! No more ME subjects... puro core and Eco subjects nalang. Ok naman ang core.. Nakakatuwa panoorin si Principe (Ph104) habang nagtuturo kasi mukhang siyang cartoon character. And infairness, maraming siyang questions na napapaisip ako. Super ok din ni Dr. Totanes (Hi166). I never thought anyone can make Philippine History this exciting. The readings are tough but he's very kind naman so less pressure. I also super love Sir Acevedo (Theo141)! My gadddd.... I especially love all the kwentos about him and Ma'am Pia... It's a bit awkward though that the husband of the new OSA director is my theo prof. Nakakailang when he starts making kwento about how he and Ma'am Pia would say "I love you" to each other. Hehe... And its super nakakatuwa to know that Dr. Totanes and Sir Acevedo used to fight for Valedictorian when they were still in Ateneo. (And to those who dont know, Dr. T won).

And of course, my 3 eco subjects. There's Japanese Eco... medyo boring yung teacher kasi he just talks about whatever he wants to say. And usually hindi ako nakikinig kasi I'm reading for History. I even forgot his name... Basta Japanese name niya eh. And then there's praxis where we're supposed to make a livelihood program for the indigenous (?) people in Zambales - marketing plan daw for their mangoes. COOL! Marketing all over again!!! Hehe.. Nakakaexcite kasi this is always what I've wanted.. (yep.. I'm a frustrated DS major). Teacher pala namin si Sir Sescon. Ok rin siya, I like the way he teaches. And finally, there's thesis. Originally, I was fearing this given all the yells for pain of the comm majors last sem about how draining their thesis were. But after I met Sir Beja (and saw the stuff I had to do), naexcite ako bigla! Haha! Bale max of 40 pages lang pala ang thesis on ANY economic topic we want. COOL.... As of now, Raf and I are thinking of doing a thesis on Monopoly... like how the social background of the player affects his/her actions during gameplay and how this "behavior" is related to real life decisions (i.e. buying behavior, negotiating behavior, investing behavior). It's not really as "work-heavy" as some friends of mine have said.

So in a nutshell, I love this sem!!! It's not really as heavy as my previous sems and there's no more "mega-stressful" subjects/projects that will always drive me crazy. Last sem I had the ME superproject (which drove me insane with all the data gathering and driving to Festival Supermall) sabay with FINEX trainings (my gad... one boring boring finance book a day... shet.. hell). Tapos the sem before that naman was Marketing sem.. so enough said :)... and of course before that was SMEG sem (the sem where ME students will know if they will still graduate as ME or if they have to shift na to another course). This sem is really love. Add to this the COA family who shall always be there to complete my day. Ang sarap lang ng feeling na kahit 6pm or 8pm na kami nag-eend each day because of class/meetings, parating may COA dinner somewhere in Katipunan or Eastwood to at least end the day well and to make kwento about the day's events. What more can I ask for?

So yun.. nakakatuwa lang. And of course, the second reason I'm reviving my blog is because of the talk given by Bro. Francis Alvarez on Discernment. Hindi lang siya discernment na tipong "will I run for my org next year" kind of discernment, as in discernment talaga on what direction you will pursue in your life. I super super loved the talk kasi naexplain niya how our direction in life is really centered on how we relate with God.. hindi siya yung mga usual religious talks na paulit-ulit yung sinasabi na "salvation salvation chuva"... Talagang may sense yung talk and natuwa ako dun sa mga points for reflection. Basically, tinuro niya yung tinatawag na IGNATIAN EXAMEN - everyday, you think back on the significant events that occured, then you identify your highs and your lows. Tapos after that you reflect on what are the things you are thankful for during that day, what are the things you are sorry for, and what are the things you hope for. Ayun... a very very simple exercise one can do before one goes to bed... Its super effective in making you realize kung ano na nga ba ang gusto mong direksyon ng iyong buhay. Gosh... this sem is truly love.... nakakaaliw lang na talagang sa LAST sem ko to mangyayari lahat. But then again, better late than never.

Ok... super haba ng first entry after being dormant. I guess, mas may time lang talaga sa sem na ito compared to the previous sems kung saan parang hindi na kami tao dahil sa lecheng ME curriculum that overworks ME students for NOTHING. Haha. Ayun... I'm officially loving Eco. And OSA. And COA. And everyone I've met this year. At the end of it all.... chuva lang ang buhay! ^___^

revived!

  • Sep. 16th, 2007 at 1:42 AM
it was one normal day at the COA room...

when Jim suddenly brings up:


Jim:  "Clark, may LJ ka diba?"

Clark: "Ah talaga? I cant seem to remember"

Jim: "Oo, nakalink ata sa LJ ni Allan"

Clark: "Ohh...."

At syempre, sa sobrang busy, nakalimutan kong may LJ ako! wahahaha!
Grabe... ang daming nangyari since May... dont know where to start.

Anyways, mawawala ulit ako ng 1 month... final stretch na ng 1st sem eh... my very last (and most tough) requirements for graduating an ME student (woohoo!) and malapit na ang elims/finals ng FINEX... Once these are done, FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ^_^

moving on with a positive disposition

  • Mar. 17th, 2007 at 3:16 PM
marketing is finally over. yehey! grabe talaga... marketing brings out the worst in us. i myself saw another level of my "angry-ness" and immaturity while doing marketing... of course, having a ladder teacher and being benchmark made all of it even worse. As usual, my "attitude problem" - as many tend to call it - worsened as well...

i guess it's really teh stress that brings out the worst in us... and i'm glad that it's over. 

we got a 3.25 in our final defense... which really surprised us since the past benchmarks have been getting consistent 2.5's... talk about changing tradition. hehe... we didnt make it to final four (duh... benchmark nga eh) but that's ok, less stuff to worry about.

Super thanks talaga to Sir Tanchoco and Sir Aly!!! Especially Sir Tanchoco!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! Ikaw na talaga ang best program director!!! whaaha! You guys have been a big help. Thanks also to some ME seniors who helped out... especially to Pisha who had to take pictures of herself for our ads. And to Earl who really printed our ENTIRE marketing paper and wrote all his comments. THANKS TALAGA PISHA AND EARL!!! YOU GUYS ARE GREAT!!!!

To Pindy, believe it or not, thank you for showing me what career NOT to pursue when i graduate! wahahaahha!!! Grabe ang marketing... ang dami talagang mga underground, illegal, and undemocratic practices... parang pulitika! wahahahaha!

Chars and Anton, hehe.... pano na to? sira na ang winning streak? HEHE..... (actually... nasira na ang streak namin ni anton nung OR contest palang where La Salle beat us). But that's ok... parang inventory control model #4 lang ang buhay... minsan pataas, minsan pababa. Sana mag-reorder point na soon para pataas na ulit! LOL! ^_^

Congrats pala to Leloy Claudio for being the valedictorian of batch 2007!!!! And also to Charles Yeung for being the departmental awardee for ME and to Allan Espinosa for being the departmental awardee for ECE. Congrats din to Geo-Ann Hernandez for winning Most Outstanding Thesis (SOH) and Most Outstanding Individual in the LS Awards last week! Congrats Moe Buensalido for being departmental awardee for ComTech and Gretch Santos for being departmental awardee in ComSci. God job din to Jean Pierre Reniva for winning the LS Awards for the Arts.

GO COA!!!! We're the best!!! wahahahaha! Congrats guys, and good luck sa life after college. ^_^

COA Awards 2007 Finalists

  • Jan. 28th, 2007 at 7:19 PM
Hi everyone,
 
On behalf of the Council of Organizations of the Ateneo and the COA Awards team 2007, I am pleased to announce the finalists for COA Awards 2007.
 
We would like to thank all the organizations who had participated in this activity. We know that there were a number of requirements which were asked from you. hehe :) Thanks again for submitting your entries. The COA EB had a difficult (and long) time judging all the entries. The organizations that participated really exerted all their efforts in completing their application forms and in getting recommendation letters. However, as in any awards program, we had to trim down and screen the applicants.
 
Here are the Top 5 finalists for the COA Organization of the Year (in Alphabetical order): 
Ateneo Celadon (Celadon)
Ateneo Christian Life Community (ACLC)
Ateneo Management Association (AMA)
Ateneo Mathematics Society (AMS)
Company of Ateneo Dancers (CADS)
 
Here are the Top 7 finalists for the COA Leader of the Year (in Alphabetical Order): 
Nill Arroyo (AJMA)
Christian Canlas  (AMS)
Michael Chong (MEA)
Kim Ko (ACLC)
Frederic Lipio (Kaingin)
Diane Tan (AMA)
Daphne Uy (Celadon)
 


P.S. Watch out for this week's special COAmail issue featuring the finalists! ^_^

sigh...

  • Jan. 27th, 2007 at 4:45 PM
yes, one big sigh...

as each day passes, i get more and more convinced that i was wrong.

sigh...


but then again, why did the events of january 26 have to occur?
i hate you fate. you keep on confusing me.


ASA

R.I.P. Poknat.... :(

  • Jan. 21st, 2007 at 1:47 PM
it was during O.R. class under Sir Aly Yap that a very interesting conversation took place...


Sir Aly: So this is how you do Inventory Control Models...

Me: Shet.... ang sad ko.... (as i continue to copy notes while talking to anton)

Anton: Bakit ka sad?

Me: Patay na si Poknat.....

Anton: Huh? Sino si Poknat????

Me: Si Kim Chiu

Anton: ANO??? PATAY NA SI KIM CHIU????

..............
..............
.............. walei! ^_^


Whaahhaa! and may i just say that the days of "You're nothing but a second rate, trying hard, copy-cat" are OVER! 
And the short lived fame of Sam Milby's "I never..... said..... that I love you" is done.
Move over Cherry Gil and Sam Milby!
Erich is in the house!
"Basta wag niya ako sasalubungin.... kung hindi babanggain ko siya!"

Wahaha! Killer line! Ang pagbabalik ni ERICH! Waaa... I just hope Sana Maulit Muli doesn't end with Travis a.k.a. BOKBOK dying.... If he does, then the whole teleserye is just gonna appear like some pirated/stolen version of some foreign show we have all come to love. ^_^

Anyways, here is the lyrics of the theme song.... The timing couldn't have been more appropriate ^_^

Sana Maulit Muli

Sana'y maulit muli
Ang mga oras nating nakaraan
Bakit nagkaganito
Naglaho na ba ang pag-ibig mo
Sana maulit muli
Sana bigyan ng pansin ang himig ko
Kahapon, bukas, ngayon
Tanging wala nang ibang mahal

CHORUS:
Kung kaya kong iwanan ka
Di na sana aasa pa
Kung kaya kong umiwas na
Di na sana lalapit pa
Kung kaya ko sana

Ibalik ang kahapon
Sandaling di mapapantayan
Huwag sana nating itapon
Pagmamahal na tapat
Kung ako'y nagkamali minsan
Di na ba mapagbibigyan
O giliw, dinggin mo ang nais ko

(CHORUS)

Kung kaya ko sana
Ito ang tanging nais ko
Ang ating kahapon sana maulit muli
Kung ako'y nagkamali minsan
Di na ba mapagbibigyan
O giliw... Dinggin mo ang nais ko
Ang nais ko
(CHORUS 2x)
Mahal pa rin kita
O giliw... o giliw

Sana Maulit Muli



34 days....

on issues and dragons

  • Jan. 14th, 2007 at 8:55 PM
i really dont get why some people LOVE to make issues....
as in yung mga bulung-bulungan na kapag tungkol sayo, ikaw ang last person on earth na makakaalam...

hay.... some people can be such cowards...
if they have a problem with you, they tell the whole world about it and you're the last person to find out.
so instead of you finding out about your bad trait and improve for the better, its too late because the whole world hates you.

i'd love to see the day when we'd all say "i hate you" at each other's faces
at least that way we KNOW why we are being hated and hence change into better persons, forming a better world.

-----------------------------------------

Ok, enough of rants (i promised myself that i will rant less).

Yesterday night was Eragon night... and i just have to say this.... dragons are officially LOVE! 
communicating thru the mind and flying very fast speeds... coolness. It's just sad that when a rider dies, his dragon dies as well. some of my friends did not like the movie, because it was not loyal to the book. they said that the only reason i liked it was because i didnt read the book. hey! i read it.... well, i read the intro and parts of the first chapter ^_^ hehe.... and then i lost it and was too cheap to shell out another 500 to buy a new hardbound copy. 

hay... give me a dragon egg and i shall be your slave forever! waahaha! ^_^

the math-kada

  • Dec. 26th, 2006 at 11:05 AM

The Math-kada (aka my first college circle of friends)

Found another picture... same captions apply ^_^

It's really funny how being classmates in an advance math course made us very close to each other. Or maybe it's because we all came from Xavier and ICA? Hmm.. I think I got it: we were all nerds so we got along very well. Haha! Hmm... let's think of more similarities... we're all M.E. (or used to be M.E.)... we all absolutely adore Doc Mara... and we all loved to cram. Whatever it was that brought us all together, I'm really glad that it happened.

It's just sad how we don't do stuff na together because of our busy scheds / and the fact that we took different paths sometime in 2nd year or early 3rd year. Of course, I've forever been a prisoner of COA Emperor Charles (haha! peace Charles!), Chars has been forever busy with ADS, Anton forever marketing for MEA, Gavin forever mastering his skills in DOTA, Earl doing God knows what in his new course (Management), and Ery in her constant search for ___. ^_^

That's why I'm really excited for tomorrow! Finally after so long, we get to go out as the Math-kada once more! Hehe... Of course this time, we're a bigger family with Bobbie, Pam, Kirvy, Siox and Faith. Thanks guys! I really hope we do push through tomorrow!

Christmas Mass at Xavier School

  • Dec. 25th, 2006 at 2:42 PM
Christmas Eve... went out with the family, ate at this expensive steak restaurant and went to mass at Xavier School.

Gee.. It's been a while since I last visited my high school. A lot have changed... There's the Rafael Cortina Sports Complex (which they started building the year we graduated! boo...). That's where we had the mass.

That's when I remembered our first school reunion as alumni there (the sports complex was still being constructed then). All around us were rocks, rocks and more rocks! Wahaha! Hence, they made construction helmets as our souvenirs. My batchmates and I were kidding around that the real reason they gave us helmets was because some stuff might drop on our heads since the sports complex was still "unfinished". Of course, who would forget the tribute they made to the Xaverians who have made it big in the "basketball world"... Chris Tiu, Joseph Yeo, and TY Tang to name a few. And all Ateneans would definitely not forget seeing RUDY ANG himself, wearing a muscle shirt!!!! LOL. Of course, other important personalities would include Fr. Johnny Go (now the school director), and ABU - the infamous person from Days with the Lord.

Those were the days...

Of course, after my flashback, I realized the mass has already ended! Wahaha! (i'm so going to hell...) I saw some familiar faces, mostly friends from Xavier and ICA. I also saw the #2 of Charles Yeung! Wahahahha! (CLUE: PEERS) Peace Charles! What was she doing there? Diba Jubilee sya nung high school?? .... wahahah... ok enough laglag-ing

Ayun, we left the sports complex, we passed by the Grade School classrooms. They still looked the same, except this time there were more banners and the walls were sealed.. why? BECAUSE EACH ROOM ALREADY HAD AIRCONDITIONING!!!! Wah.... But anyways, that walk really made me emo... remembered all the stuff we did in grade school. And I realized something after all that: gosh... ang tanda ko na! wahahaa! At the end of the day, it was a nice experience to revisit a place i considered my second home. Til the next time that I'm reunited with the school that has taught me so much.

Go Xavier School! Our pride and glory!

4. The air in MVP is colder
5. "Suck-up" students start to carry large plastic bags

Paco, Charles, Alden, me, Allan and Geo-Ann while cleaning up the MVP Roofdeck after the Blue Christmas classes held there.

Minus the fact that the kids arrived REALLY late, Blue Christmas was a blast! Congrats to the organizing team! Good job kanina Reese Faylona, Steph Lim, Alden Baleva and the whole gang! Special mention to Retcher Ching for documenting the whole event! Thanks to all the faci's and log volunteers! Infairness, ang dami kong nakitang Strainers! Good job to all!!!

Congrats also to the COA class (Arts and Crafts)! In fairness, the kids looked very happy with the pictures we gave them with the masks they made and while wearing some of Geo-Ann's beautiful costumes! wahaha! Good job guys! It was a very tiring but great experience!

Merry Blue Christmas to all!!! Sa muling pagsasalu-salo natin sa belen.

On the PDA Episode where fans visited

  • Dec. 15th, 2006 at 11:46 PM

Just saw the Pinoy Dream Academy Episode a while ago where fans were invited to the house to meet their idols.

The "fan" of Irish said something to her that made me wonder kung tama ba yung sinabi:

Fan: Irish, ang ganda mo sa TV. Marami kang kamukhang artista sa mga pinapanood kong shows. Like si Peyton...... yung sa O.C. 

.....
.....

ANO RAW???? whahahaha!

Correct me if I'm wrong... pero hindi ba sa One Tree Hill si Peyton at hindi sa O.C.??????

Wahahaha.... somekinda sosyal kasi eh.... infairness... she somekinda like wanna watching sosyal shows like the O.C. and OTH... you know... syempre dont wanna appear somekinda cheapanga and pureza infront of english-spokening Irish...

but then again, baka naman talagang may Peyton sa O.C. at hindi ko lang alam... kasi naman no... im somekinda like watching cheapanga shows like super inggo.... hindi ko kinaya powers ng fan na yun... wahahaa....

wahahaha.... tonight is officially lait night ^_^ and for the record [ i dont normally talk this way ]  ^_^

"Dont worry <insert name here>, YOU MISSED NOTHING"



Sorry na! Taas ng expectations eh! Gud lak nalang sa iyong samahan na PERPEKTO.




On a lighter note.....


GSK is officially LOVE. ^_^

Congrats to Team Three Musketeers (1st Place) and Team Bond (2nd Place). Congrats also to Queen (Best HR director), Anton (Best Finance Director), Kimmee (Best Sales Director), and Chars (Best Marketing Director). WOW! Syempre na-sweep ng mga Atenista ang lahat ng awards! Wahahaa!!!! Feeling ko Atenista ang judge. JOKE ^_^ Anyways, keep it up! Let us show the world what Ateneans are capable of! ^_^


But of course, one specifc thing/instance really made my day today....  <Insert BIG smile here> Hehe! Sana bukas ulit! Wahaha!

one road ends...

  • Dec. 12th, 2006 at 11:22 AM

today i got the saddest text. it came from Ms. Ana, HR manager of GSK. Her text reads: 


"team <insert our team name here ^_^ >, after a very tight 2nd round, we regret to inform you that you won't advance to the finals round. we commend you for your effort. see you on thurs for the awarding of individual distinctions."

..........
..........

sigh....

oh well, i guess some things are just unavoidable... perhaps a cetain author was right in saying that: "if you really want something, the whole universe conspires to make it happen" . perhaps this is not really what i wanted after all.  

the road here ends. time to find another road to take. the light shines brighter than ever....


PS. Good luck to the Team Bond (Anton, Queen, and their groupmates from La Salle and UP). I really hope you guys win!!! You guys super deserve it!!! I'd also like to thank my groupmates, you guys were the best. Thanks for accepting a puny 3rd year Atenean who knows nothing about business management into the team, hehe! Super fun ang lahat ng overnights natin at heated case discussions. I learned soooo much from you guys that i dont think i'll ever learn in any of the courses they're offering ME students in Ateneo. YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!

Jeremy | 5 - BS BAA | UP
The best Finance director! Aliw ako sa mga jokes mo, lalo na yung "how you make 4 gay guys sit on 1 chair?" Nikwento ko sya sa maraming friends sa Ateneo at benta sa kanila! wahahaha! Greenminded talaga mga UP! JOKE! anyways, super sipag mo. ikaw na yata pinakamasipag sa team!

Gloria | 4- BS Commerce Major in Marketing | La Salle
The best Sales director! Gloria, super thanks for letting us overnight in your house! Super corny mo rin palang tao! wahaha! good luck sa pagiging president ng rotaract club (tama ba spelling?) hehe.. ayun, balitaan mo nalang ako sa kapatid mong super galing na 3rd year college palang, may trabaho na ^_^

Edmund | 4 - BS BA | UP
Marketing director! Kamusta naman ABAM president! Astig! Grabe, aliw ako sa lahat ng ideas mo. Siguro it really comes with experience sa pagkakaroon ng org positions. Eto talaga learning sa GSK contest: not everything can be learned in class. good luck sa ABAM! Hinay hinay lang!

Guys, given our functional units, pwede na tayo magpatakbo ng korporasyon! wahhaha! go team! See you all sa awarding night at cocktails.
