A Merry Little Christmas

It's been a long time since I haven't posted here on my blog. I was quite busy in school and in some stuffs; projects, assignments, research and a lot more. There are lot of things to accomplish back then. And I don't seriously go online during those moments, it is just that I already have an access to the internet now; I can browse anytime I want, although at times the connection is so slow. But, at least. At least.

So... what's up? How's your Christmas? Did you spend it with someone? or did you spend it somewhere out of town?

Well, my Christmas was so perfect. I celebrated it with my family and relatives; maternal side. We went to Iligan City; since my mama's family is residing there and since my grandparents was also there. (If given the chance to choose, I would want to celebrate it in Lopez Jaena, Ozamiz City!) So, we had a little merry Christmas. Foods are everywhere, although we don't have this "Lechon" thingy, but still we had lots of foods to partake. Chocolate cakes, fruit salad, spaghetti, and different viands. My parents, uncles and aunts prepared it all. It was merry, because our Nanay and Tatay were able to celebrate it with us. And we are also glad that my Tatay is already out in the hospital. He was admitted for about 4 days in Mindanao Sanitarium College and Hospital, that is situated near MSU-IIT. This hospital is known I guess, because IIT nursing students study here. And I should say, the hospital is kind a awesome; it is an Adventist church. They are only serving foods that is related with their religion, which is Seventh Day Adventist; they are more of vegetables. And yes, my grandpa was admitted due to low hemoglobin; yeah. Anemic, just like me. So, he had this blood transfusion, it cost us too much. One Thousand pesos per bag of blood. And luckily, the doctor only asked 2 bags of blood. (yeah! that is lucky, at least lesser payment) I think he is trying to be okay now. Since, he already had an operation before for his prostate cancer. Everything is working well. He is doing fine, and we are all happy seeing him on Christmas. 

Kids and people everywhere! hahahaha

Fooooooods!!! 

I really enjoyed my Christmas. And my family completed it. It was great. I am looking forward for a better 2013. 

Advance Happy New Year, Bloggers! :)

21st

October 16, 2012. It was the best birthday ever; I consider it as best because it was my first time to celebrate with my friends. I received lots of greetings from my numerous friends; through Facebook, text messaging and phone calls. I am very glad that many of them remembered my day. I also thank my Dad for waking me up while singing "Happy Birthday", and for kissing my left cheek. Thank you for giving me the chance to celebrate with my friends, although they were not complete. I missed celebrating with my bestfriends back in highschool; Ingrid, Loren, Kharen and Sweet. Thank you Winna for accompanying me in Mcdo, I had a great time eating lunch with you. And to the ones whom I invited at Dear Manok for a simple dinner, thank you; Kent, Amor, Jerson, Rey-ann, ate Judith and Cassandra.

Thank you, Lord!
Thank you, everyone! :)

o0o

Chipmunks, eh?

Tomorrow is my 21st. :)

Thankyou, Lord!!!

SMILE :)

I smile, because I wanna inspire lots of people. 

I smile, not for the camera but for myself.

I smile, not just for Facebook but for those people who hates me.

I smile, to hide all the pains in life.

And, yeah, I smile for my loved ones.

I smile.You smile.

A farewell letter by Gabriel Garcia Marquez :)

I don't know who this Gabriel is, but this message inspired me. :) I got this post from Angielyn Siwagan's Facebook timeline.

---

If God, for a second, forgot what I have become and granted me a little bit more of life, I would use it to the best of my ability.

I wouldn't, possibly, say everything that is in my mind, but I would be more thoughtful of all I say. I would give merit to things not for what they are worth, but for what they mean to express.

I would sleep little, I would dream more, because I know that for every minute that we close our eyes, we waste 60 seconds of light.

I would walk while others stop; I would awake while others sleep.

If God would give me a little bit more of life, I would dress in a simple manner, I would place myself in front of the sun, leaving not only my body, but my soul naked at its mercy.

To all men, I would say how mistaken they are when they think that they stop falling in love when they grow old, without knowing that they grow old when they stop falling in love.

I would give wings to children, but I would leave it to them to learn how to fly by themselves.

To old people I would say that death doesn't arrive when they grow old, but with forgetfulness.

I have learned so much with you all, I have learned that everybody wants to live on top of the mountain, without knowing that true happiness is obtained in the journey taken & the form used to reach the top of the hill.

I have learned that when a newborn baby holds, with its little hand, his father's finger, it has trapped him for the rest of his life.

I have learned that a man has the right and obligation to look down at another man, only when that man needs help to get up from the ground.

Say always what you feel, not what you think. If I knew that today is the last time that that I am going to see you asleep, I would hug you with all my strength and I would pray to the Lord to let me be the guardian angel of your soul.

If I knew that these are the last moments to see you, I would say 'I love you'.

There is always tomorrow, and life gives us another opportunity to do things right, but in case I am wrong, and today is all that is left to me, I would love to tell you how much I love you & that I will never forget you.

Tomorrow is never guaranteed to anyone, young or old.

Today could be the last time to see your loved ones, which is why you mustn't wait; do it today, in case tomorrow never arrives.

I am sure you will be sorry you wasted the opportunity today to give a smile, a hug, a kiss, and that you were too busy to grant them their last wish.

Keep your loved ones near you; tell them in their ears and to their faces how much you need them and love them. Love them and treat them well; take your time to tell them 'I am sorry'; 'forgive me', 'please' and 'thank you', and all those loving words you know.

Nobody will know you for your secret thought. Ask the Lord for wisdom and strength to express them.

Show your friends and love ones how important they are to you.

Send this letter to those you love. If you don't do it today...tomorrow will be like yesterday, and if you never do it, it doesn't matter either, the moment to do it is now.

For you, With much love,

Your Friend, Gabriel Garcia Marquez

I'll be over you (due to boredom)

Authentic: A Creative Writing Activity

Charge to Experience

(February 25, 2010)

Jacqui, a simple young lady who lives in Bulua with her whole family. Their place is near ABS-CBN station, along Macapagal road. She goes to school everyday and is currently studying in Mindanao University of Science and Technology or simply known as MUST. Jacqui takes up Technology Communication Management and she is already on her fourth year. Before she takes up this course, she first invades the world of engineering. She used to be a Computer Engineering student, but Jacqui realized that she couldn't pursue this course anymore.

As a shiftee, she also had a hard time coping with her new classmates. She met new faces, new building, new department and new excellent teachers under the College of Arts and Sciences. She made herself very comfortable and slowly adopted the new environment.

Week after, she met Abby, a third year student and got mature mind. Jacqui and Abby started hanging out with each other. They take snacks and lunch together. Jacqui loves calling Abby as “Ate', since she doesn't have an ate at home, simply because she is the eldest daughter. Abby is an irregular student. She got lots of sections, and one of these is 1k2 or 1b. Abby is called ate in the class and everybody knew her already, while Jacqui is in 1a. Then, there is this guy, a transferee from Xavier University who came to be Abby's classmate. He is Kent; not that handsome, but quite cool. Kent, keeps on asking about Jacqui. He thought that she is a transferee from other university, so she asked Abby about Jacqui and Abby explained it clearly.

“Oh! That is Jacquilyn. Everybody calls her Jacqui. She is a shiftee, actually. A computer engineering student before here in our university. Why did you ask about her?”, Abby said.

“Nothing. My eyes caught her. Send my regards to her, Abby.”, Kent replied.

Abby shared it to Jacqui that Kent caught her attention. Jacqui's classmates keeps on teasing her and pushing her to get to know the guy personally. But, Jacqui was like, “Sorry, I am not interested about him.” Still the guy keeps on sending regards to her through her classmates and Abby.

Then one day, during their celebration of MUST Days, Kent and Jacqui started hanging out with each other. To her, it is just a matter of getting to know the person and she believes that there is nothing wrong with it. So, they talk, hang out and they keep on communicating through sending an SMS or hear each other's voices over the phone. Their daily routine goes on and on until Kent fell in love with Jacqui. He tried courting her in a sincere way and He even waited for almost one month for the “YES”. Jacqui keeps on thinking about the question that Kent left, “Will you be my girlfriend?”, it bothered her because she know, deep inside her that she also love Kent and she knew that He is really serious. And it was her first time to experience that a guy courted her personally.

And the long wait was over and she already said yes. Who wouldn't be happy of the result; a girl's “YES” is really significant to every guy. He waited for almost one month. They've been together for one-year and 4months. They spent their time happily. Jacqui's parents knew about Kent, and vice-versa. It is an open relationship. They even celebrated their 1st anniversary at High Ridge; a surprise given by Kent to Jacqui. High Ridge is located on a hilltop in Aluba, it gives you a perfect view of Cagayan de Oro especially at night. It was Jacqui's first time to invade that place. There were so many hindrances during their anniversary. One, the rain pours heavily, that they can't even go out of their houses'. Two, her little brother is so sick, and she needs to take care of him because her parents is out of town. But, as what the cliché goes, "If there is a will, there is a way." so, they pursue in celebrating their anniversary. They went to Cathedral Church and prayed. She received memorable gifts from him; a bouquet of roses, a CD that contains a movie maker and a stuff toy (Pooh) that Jacqui craved for. It was such a perfect moment, although they weren't able to witness the panoramic view of CDO, because Jacqui seriously needs to be at home.

Love doesn't focus on happiness. It needs challenges that could help build a strong relationship. On February 25, 2011 a sudden break-up was made. That day was also their celebration of being together for one-year and 5months. Sad to say, they didn't make it. The guy fell out of love. It wasn't his intention to feel that way and to hurt the one He loves.

“I don't want you to cry. You promised not to cry when this moment would come. I know it is not easy, and I know you knew that I hate seeing a girl crying.” Kent explained it to Jacqui.

“I still have my class. Maybe we can talk about it later. (Teary-eyed)”, Jacqui said.

But, because Jacqui is so hesitant in breaking up with him and she can't even dare to say goodbye personally, so she just sent him an SMS explaining her part.

“I want you to be happy. And because you are asking for freedom, then I am giving it to you right at this very moment. I'll set you free. I may want it in a formal way, but I really can't make it...I am just too weak to face the reality.”

And now, she is making herself feel better and trying to learn from the past. It is just mind over matter. :)

Oooops! Beware

BEWARE IN JUDGING ME :) I say, BEWARE.

Yahoo caught my attention

While I was checking my News Feed on Facebook, one article from Yahoo caught my attention. It is about how to tell if your boyfriend loves you. Girls, you must be kidding me if this article can't catch your attention, especially those who are in love or in a relationship right now. Try reading this one; just try. It has only 5 signs for you to know if He really loves you.

Sign your boyfriend loves you 1: Boys’ night

Boys’ night is a sacred night for the male of the species and has been central to your man’s existence since he turned 16. Poker is played, beer is drunk and girls are gawked at. Yet, this Friday where was your boyfriend? Was he living it large with the lads, or at home with you, snuggled up in couple heaven? Once your guy bails on boys’ night you know he’s in trouble and that he’s caught a one-way train to Love Town. Be prepared for some initial hostility from his friends though, as a bromance gone wrong can get ugly. Can you handle it?

If you’re not sure how you feel about your guy loving you, or whether you will say ‘I love you’ back, ask yourself whether you’d ditch girls’ night for him.

Sign your boyfriend loves you 2: He opens up to you  

Although it’s a bit of a stereotype even our lovely 21st century boys struggle with the idea of opening up and talking about their feelings. Recent research has come up with a reason why guys may find it more difficult to open up than women do. Their findings suggest that after emotional stimulation men’s immune systems and blood pressures take longer to return to their normal states compared to women who have experienced the same emotional stimulation.

Therefore scientists think that men may be reluctant to chat to you about their emotions because it makes them physically vulnerable. So, if your guy decides to tell you about his horrible boss, his rollercoaster relationship with his mother or his feelings of inadequacy when he’s with his friends, he’s not just unloading. It’s a true sign he loves you and that you will be the last lady to be granted entry into his LBB (little black book).

Sign your boyfriend loves you 3: He talks about your future  

If you’re lying in bed, or brushing your teeth, or cooking your dinner and your man suddenly looks dreamy-eyed and asks you how many kids you want, you may as well hang up that sports kit because lady, you aren’t going to be a player for long; your boyfriend loves you. If your man keeps asking you questions about your future as a couple or your hopes and dreams for life, chances are he’s sussing out whether you’re wife material and whether his emotional investment will pay off.

He may ask you about where you want to settle down, what kind of house you want or what your views are on marriage. These questions may be asked casually or seem like a joke, but they give him an insight into what your future may be like together. When he asks you things about your future answer carefully. He may use your replies to judge whether you’re compatible as a couple.  

Sign your boyfriend loves you 4: Affection without the sex

When your boyfriend runs his fingers through your hair and tells you that you look hot, you know he’s feeling horny and wants to get it on under the covers. So what does it mean when he runs his fingers through your hair, tells you that you look hot and then leaves the room? Do you need to run out and buy a miracle cream that promises to make you look 10 years younger, or buy enough make-up that could turn a warthog into a dazzling princess?

Our answer is no. Not only are you pretty enough without tons of ugly cosmetics, when your guy gives you love and affection and doesn’t want sex it doesn’t mean he’s gone off you or doesn’t find you attractive any more. It means he loves you. You can even start checking his receipts and pockets for an engagement ring if he’s still doing it after six months.  

Sign your boyfriend loves you 5: He asks for your advice

If you need to know whether your boyfriend loves you or whether he thinks of you as another fling, you should pay attention to those times he asks you for advice. When guys are single they become very independent and make lots of decisions for themselves (even if it does mean wearing that terrible T-shirt). However, when men get comfortable in a relationship they give up some of this independence and begin to take on their partners’ views and opinions.

So, the next time he asks you what he should do to get a pay rise or what shoes look good on him, be aware that this shows he considers your relationship as being serious. It also shows you that he respects your opinion, which is a big part of falling in love.

The Wall

Last August 12, 2012 I posted about the  International Youth Day; Mural Painting. We are so lucky because Mona offered their wall for us to paint. Mona is one of the member in Action Club Philippines. The wall is just at the back of their house, that is situated in Tejero, Patag along Hightime Motel Road, Cagayan de Oro City. During the celebration of International Youth Day, we haven't done painting the wall and Colleen planned to finish it during vacant time. Seriously, I don't really have the power to paint. I can't even draw a perfect circle, how much more painting a wall. (HAHAHAHA!) So, yes. I didn't help painting, but I was assigned to take some pictures as a remembrance, of course.

They continued painting the wall last August 27, 2012. And because it was also the celebration of Kagay-an Festival, I wasn't able to come with them. My peers and I celebrated the fiesta, we even watched the Pyrolympics at SM, City. Or maybe I was just so lazy to join the club in painting the wall, or I just hate seeing myself painting a gorgeous wall. No. I admit. I am afraid that they might force me to paint. (hahahaha) The wall is just so beautiful for me to ruin it. Seriously. 

Just this morning I saw a photo of the wall on Facebook that the team painted. Colleen posted it in our group, Action Club Philippines. It is just so amazing that it has already a perfect image and everything. The wall is just so simple at its best. Kudos to the ones who continued it, and of course cheers to the whole team. AJA! 

Look the wall is perfect  now. Yehey!!!

Colleen informed me that this is still to be continued. WEW! But it looks nice already. :)

Kagay-anons celebrates Kagay-an Festival 2012

Hello Kagay-anons!

Happy Fiesta!!! :)

The fiesta is so perfect. Although, I wasn't able to witness some of the events. But still I enjoyed some of it. Like witnessing the PyroFestival at Sm City. The fireworks were so great and amazing. The competitors really made an effort just to win the said competition. Seriously, it will never be cool if you won't work hard for it. 

Congratulations to the newly crowned Miss Kagay-an 2012. Everyone deserves to be on stage and show the people that they are confident enough to ramp, answer, and just be who they are. I am kinda disappointed because I wasn't able to witness it; but I am also flattered that some of the winners are from my beloved school, Mindanao University of Science and Technology (MUST). Miss Tourism 2012, Lovely Estampa, 1st runner-up, Emie Lou Yamba and Roxinne Monterde grabbed the award as Best in Talent. Roxinne, is still studying under the CIIT. Lovely, she just graduated under the course of Technology Communication Management (BSTCM), and Emie Lou, is currently working as a professional model in Cagayan de Oro City; they are known as the Glitterati. 

taaadaaaa!!! This is the schedule of activities. HAHAHAHA! :D

This year is considered as the best Kagay-an Festival. It is as if that people forgot of the tragic event that happened here in the City - Sendong. They prayed for those people who got lost in the flood and some left flowers in the Kagay-an river with the Kagay-an rafters, who helped during the search & rescue operation before. The fiesta is such a great help in forgetting tragic events.

It is more fun in Cagayan de Oro City. Happy Fiesta! 

Patricia Evangelista; Blonde & Blue Eyes :)

I would just like to share this video. I actually posted about  Patricia's winning piece which is entitled Blonde and Blue eyes. So, for those who haven't seen the video, then I'm gonna share it here. NOW NA! :)

8 Lessons We Can Learn from Past Relationships :)

This is kinda exciting for me, simply because I've experienced so many things about love. Engaging into a relationship that doesn't work for a long time; and I've been trying mightily to go back into that relationship. But, wanting the past relationship is not a good idea. You need to get out of the things that could kill your heart; away from negativity. Be optimistic. Engage in a relationship that would take you to the world of FOREVER. :)

I just posted awhile ago about the ways to rebuild your identity after breakup. Now, I'm gonna share to you what I've read from All Women Stalk, it is about learning a lesson from your past relationships. So, taaadaaaa!!! Read and absorb.

1. COMMUNICATION IS KEY

I think that the most popular lesson to learn from past relationships is all about communication and how key it is. If you constantly had misunderstandings with your ex and constantly had to evaluate your communication skills, it might be a good lesson to learn for your future relationship. After all, you don’t want to repeat the same mistakes right?

2. RESPECT IS NEEDED

Another popular lesson to learn from past relationships is all about respect. You have to respect your partner and your partner has to respect you. If you had a lot of problems in the past with respect from your partner or respecting your partner, it might be good to ditch those bad habits and replace them with new ones.

3. SIMILAR MORALS AND BACKGROUNDS HELP

While it is of course not necessary to date an exact clone of you, it does make it easier to know you are on the same page as far as morals and backgrounds. One of the lessons to learn from past relationships that I learned was that having the same plans for the future and the same family ties is important – otherwise you might never be on the same page as your partner!

4. LEARN TO LET THINGS GO

This was definitely the hardest lesson to learn from past relationships. I still have some problems letting things go, but I have learned a lot and compare a lot to my past relationships. Do you have a hard time letting go?

5. YOU CAN’T FORCE SOMEONE TO ACT A PARTICULAR WAY

When you are in a relationship, one of the biggest lessons that I’ve learned is that you can’t force someone to act the way that you want them to. Do you want your boyfriend to act nice to your parents when in private he’s a jerk? It’s most likely not going to happen. Trust me ladies.

6. RELATIONSHIPS ARE A SHARED EFFORT

Relationships are not something that can be shouldered alone. It has to be a joint effort between both of you to really make it work. Ladies, this is absolutely one of the lessons to learn from past relationships. After all, who would want to shoulder an entire relationship by themselves?

7. YOU CAN’T CHANGE OTHERS

This tip actually goes hand-in-hand with #5. Not only can you not force someone to do something, but you actually can’t change them either. Ladies, the quicker that you learn this tip, the better. After all, you don’t want to waste your time with someone that you are constantly trying to change but can’t right?

8. BACK OFF IN PARTICULAR SITUATIONS

Finally, the last lesson to learn from past relationships is to back off when the situation calls for it. For me, it’s when my partner is so upset, we can’t even talk without yelling. That is a time when both of us need a break and need to talk again when we’ve both calmed down.

-- Be inspired; and say HELLO to the Future :)

8 Ways to Rebuild Your Identity After Breakup :)

I was looking for an interesting topic to post here on my blog; and the mouse got me to All Women Stalk,which is seriously interesting. They've got amazing topics. Girl! Be interested. Read and apply. :)

Here are the different ways in rebuilding your identity after a sudden breakup.

1. TALK TO PEOPLE

Reestablish bonds with people who you were close to before you became part of a couple and vent as one of the great ways to find yourself after a breakup. If you remained tight with all of your close friends while you were involved, you’re ahead of the game! Avoid reaching out to mutual friends as it can get awkward for both sides. Get all of your feelings out with people you trust and love and just ask them to listen to you. Give yourself time to heal and lean on your friends for awhile.

2. ENJOY ALONE TIME

Another way to rebuild your identity after a breakup is to enjoy some time alone. Did you have to give up doing certain things as a result of being so-and-so’s girl? Reclaim your uniqueness and get back to doing things that you loved to do before you had to start compromising! If you miss watching Spongebob on Saturday mornings in your jammies, do it! Enjoy getting to know your single self again, things that you enjoy doing alone or with others.

3. GET OUT MORE

Since we know that reconnecting with friends is an effective way to find yourself after a breakup, make sure you get out often and enjoy life outside of your house! I know that you’ll crave the comforts of home while you’re healing, but you’ve gotta get out eventually so why not go out and have fun?! Accept invitations to do things with your friends whether it’s a concert or dinner at their place. Getting out of your cocoon and getting a change in scenery will remind you of what you’re missing out on being holed up!

4. TONE YOURSELF UP

It might be hard to get out and do things when you just feel like moping around at home so if you don’t feel like facing the world yet, at least get some exercise in while you’re at home because it’s a another one of the fantastic ways to get your groove back after a breakup! I know, it sounds so unappealing, but getting your frustration and aggression out through exercise can be really therapeutic and getting back in shape will no doubt help you with feeling more confident!

5. LIVE A HEALTHY LIFE

One of the key ways to find yourself after a breakup is to kick bad habits and live a healthy life by cutting out excess alcohol or any other vices you might have. Take good care of yourself and be mindful of what you put in your body! Quit social smoking, excessive drinking and recreational drugs surround yourself with people who live healthy lives too. Don’t let the separation convince you that you need a crutch to cope; let the separation inspire to do good things for yourself and others!

6. KEEP ON LIVING

Resuming your life as normal might not seem like the most helpful of ways to find yourself after a breakup but it is! You probably have good and bad days and sometimes you just want to sob your eyes out while you listening to “your song” on repeat and you should understand that it’s totally okay to be down and cry but you also have to keep living your life! Don’t let this incident prevent you from working, going to school, pursuing your goals or enjoying life with your friends and family. Don’t allow anyone stop you from living your life to the fullest!

7. KEEP YOURSELF BUSY

Keeping yourself busy can be fabulous way to find yourself after a breakup! Fill your calendar up with new projects at work or fun activities with friends and family. Take this time as a single gal to really focus on yourself and what you want. Enroll yourself in school again or take on some extra tasks at work and start working on that promotion! Keeping yourself busy will help keep your mind off of him and focus on the present.

8. DON’T RUSH RELATIONSHIPS

Of all the ways to rebuild your identity after a breakup, the main thing to avoid is rushing into another relationship! It might sound tempting to channel all of your energy into a new guy to forget about what’s-his-face but it can actually end up making you feel worse. Getting into another relationship now-casual or serious will only make you feel better briefly and it’s not smart to start something new when you haven’t even gotten over your other relationship yet!

Although the end of a relationship can feel like the end of the world, there are lots of ways to find yourself after a breakup and start feeling like yourself again! I completely get that breakups are hard and can really scar you but it’s also important to recognize that this experience will make you stronger and a better woman as a result! Learn from the mistakes you made in that relationship and use it to help you determine what you want and don’t want in future relationships!

-- Letting go is not an easy task. Pain will always be there; it is part of life. You can't do anything about it, because it is a fact. Each one of us should value the relationship we've started. If you've been suffering from a pain, then try to apply those things mentioned above. :) GO GIRL! Let's move on and have a perfect life. AJA! 

International Youth Day 2012 - Mural Painting :)

Action Club Philippines Team (ACP) celebrated the International Youth Day 2012 yesterday, 08.12.12 by painting a wall or simply as "Mural Painting" with the theme "Building a Better World: Partnering with Youth". This activity is open to all youth's around the city; it symbolizes the unity of a particular group of youth's.

You can explore more on Global Changemakers :)

  Kuya DM made this photo. :)

We weren't able to provide a tarpaulin. So, Colleen and Perry improvised this one. 

And Jena took a photo of it. 

So, this is Colleen Caryl Leslie Torres  She is the co-founder of Action Club Philippines. She represented the Philippines last year (2011) during the Global Youth Summit '11 at London. We are also schoolmates back in highschool; she is really a perfect leader. :)  And I am very proud of her. 

I also had a great time accommodating this two cute-Japanese-ladies. They're good in painting, very artistic. Momo and Yuki is very friendly. You would really love to talk to them; they always smile though they are having a hard time understanding our own dialect. hahaha :)

Okay. So, this is our wall. hahaha! Unfortunately, we still have to continue it. You can find this at Tejero, Patag; along Hightime Motel Road, CdO. There ain't enough time yesterday. We will be trying our best to finish it nextweek. AJA!!! :)

It was such a nice activity though we have not planned it ahead of time, but still we did it. And I am very glad that everyone in the club cooperated. Yesterday was AWESOME. :)

Nakakamatay na Reklamo :)

Marami sa amin ang nagtatanong kung bakit hindi kami nakakatanggap ng Student Handbook. Oo, halos lahat ng estudyante ng Mindanao University of Science and Technology or MUST ay nagre-reklamo tungkol sa bulok na sistema ng unibersidad na ito. Hindi lang yan ang pinagtutuunan ng pansin, pati rin ang mabagal...sobrang bagal na pag release ng IDENTIFICATION CARD (I.D.) namin. We paid 85pesos for it; pero hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin kami nagkakaroon ng ID. Ang ganitong mga bagay ay hindi na bago sa mga stakeholders ng MUST, dahil noon paman ganito na talaga ang sistema. Kailangan nga ba mapapabilis o mapapaganda ang sistema ng unibersidad namin? Hanggang kailangan kami mag sasakripisyo? Hindi ba nila alam na nahihiya rin kami sa ibang unibersidad? Anong klasing administrasyon meron ang MUST? *buffering*

Ang isang student handbook ay importante sa bawat estudyante. Nakalaan dito ang mga rules and regulations ng isang paaralan. Dito napapag-aralan ng isang estudyante ang mga bagay na hindi dapat gawin o dapat iwasan. Lahat ng nakalaan sa student handbook ay pinahahalagahan. Ngunit paano namin malalaman ang mga bawal at di bawal kung hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin namin nahahawakan ang isang handbook. 2009 palang ako sa paaralan na ito, pero hanggang ngayon titanong ko pa rin ang sarili ko, “Kanus-a man jud nako makita ang student handbook? Pag mu graduate nako???” Hindi ko rin naiintindihan ang isang taong nag mamarunong sa aming mga estudyante; ni hindi niya alam kong saan siya lu-lugar. Sa dami-dami ng nagre-reklamo thru Facebook, talagang isa lang ang kinausap niya ng hindi pormal na pagtawag sa kanyang well-ventilated na opisina. OO! Hindi pormal. Kung ikaw ay edukado at nasa “mataas” na posisyon, dapat alam mo kung paano ipatawag ang isang estudyante. Hindi sa pamamagitan ng isang TEXT o TAWAG; dapat gumawa ka ng isang pormal na kasulatan na nakalaan ang mga rason kung bakit kailangan mo siyang kausapin ng personalan. Hindi ka dapat nakikialam sa bagay na hindi mo naman trabaho. Bakit? Nasa printing press ka ba? Wala naman, diba? GISING!!!

Identification card. Kailan namin makukuha ang isang VALID na ID? Kailan? Bukas? Next month? Ngayon? Kailan nga ba? Nakakahiya naman sa ibang unibersidad; yung ID's nila sobrang ganda at kaaya-ayang tignan, pero yung sa amin? Wala dito. Wala doon. Minsan yung mukha namin nag fa-fade pa dahil sa pangit na quality ng card na binibili nila. Haaay. Tapos ngayon? Binibigyan nila kami ng isang TEMPORARY ID, na talaga nga namang temporary kasi folder lang yung gamit at sobrang PANGIT tignan. Kung kayo nasa posiyon namin, hindi kaya kayo mahihiyang suotin ang isang ganitong ID? Nakakaloka ang ganitong bagay, Dude!

Sana lang marealized nila yung mga hinanakit namin. Dinggin sana ng Panginoon ang dasal naming lahat. :)

- wag ma offend .. bawal yan sa mga ganitong bagay :) BOOM!!!

Simply Elegant: Acquaintance Party :)

July 21, 2012 marked the event of the Technology Communication Management's (BS-TCM) Acquaintance Party, with the theme “Simply Elegant”. The event was held at the Dynasty Court Hotel, 6^th floor Emperor hall. Everyone was gathered to witness the Mr. and Ms. TCM 2012. Jim Miguel Edmilao and Apple Francisco were the emcee's of the said event. It all started with an invocation that was lead by the chosen 3^rd year students, and followed by an opening remarks of Mr. Don Lagura – Head of the AIRO. The judges for the Mr. and Ms. TCM 2012 were Dr. Maristela Binongo-Sy, Dr. Ramir Sonsona, and Mr. Don Lagura. Everyone is beautiful and so elegant; everybody stood up in their own simple get-up's.

Okay. I would like to thank my friends for letting me borrow their cute stuffs; Miss Rey-ann Sales for the very cute dress, and Miss Allaine Mariveles for the belt. I would also like to thank myself for my very amazing, cute footwear – The Melissa Wedge. Without those stuffs, I won't look adorable and beautiful that night. (hahahaha!)

I forgot who took this photo. I just love that smile. :)

The seniors really enjoyed the party. That would be their last to attend an Acquaintance party, because they will ramp on stage nextyear for their diplomas. How I wish I could be with them; tsss. Di kaya eh! I still have my back-subjects. But it's okay, I will be the next in line. I can beat them. (HAHAHA) Seriously, I'm gonna miss them all.

Let's go back to Mr. and Ms TCM. Miss Gellie Grace Valmoria and Neal Rendal were the lucky ones. They are both in the senior level. And that is really a great opportunity for them. Bring it on, Seniors! :) They will represent for the Mr. and Ms. CAS 2012, and hopefully they can make it to Mr. and Ms. MUST 2012. :)

That was really a memorable night. :)

ooooppppppss . . . After the party . . HAHAHA :)
