Bubblewrap

February 11th, 2007 by iaajf

Jianglove I love bubblewrap. It is that plastic in any size imaginable with lots of bubble-like surface protecting a fragile object usually a vase or something that can…uuhhh…that’s fragile! ehe! it comes with the product and you get to pop it for free!! I love it when i do that. it is so much fun and highly addictive.

Anyway, I am not here to talk about the process of popping bubblewraps since i assume that you have tried it! it would be such a bore and such a short blog if i were to write how to pop bubblewraps since you just simply, pop it, and crumple it all up.

How many of you guys and gals reading got hurt because of someone in the opposite sex? I did. And with the trend of tear-jerky love songs, I’m sure a lot CAN relate to them. Don’t you wish bubblewrapping the heart can be a good idea? For all the helpless, and hopeless individuals this coming coming Valentines Day, or those who came out from a bad relationship, i think you’ll agree with me.

it’s not easy to fall in love since sooner or later, you know you’ll get hurt. One way or the other. It depends on the degree of hurt that determines if you stay together or you’re better off without each other. There is no perfect relationship may it be in love, in the family, or among friends.

But then the heart is so fragile, and sometimes stupid that no matter how we think that getting hurt the last time was already bad enough, the heart still sacrifices itself to be hurt again by loving some one AGAIN. Bummer. It is stupid, gullible and stubborn. or is it the person who is stupid, gullible and stubborn? poor heart, blaming it all to the heart ei when it is US who have the problem.

Love may be the perfect thing to give someone but it has to be the RIGHT someone for it to take effect (i’m talking about falling head over heels with someone in the opposite sex–we still love the unlovables. that’s God’s command. I don’t question that).

What I am trying to say is, love comes in the right time, with the right person. It’s not right to hurry just because everyone is. Life may be short but things such as love, and the man or woman you are going to spend the rest of your life with take time…a lot of it. Alongside with that, it requires the right heart and the right mind and motive. It doesn’t mean it’s going to be a perfect relationship as what we hope for. Nothing will ever be perfect in this world (that’s why there is God),  but you’ll just realize that facing the problems and hardships TOGETHER would make things better, and work things out.

How do you know if the person next to you is the one you’re going to spend the rest of your life with? Is he or she you’re friend? Is he or she from your school? A neighbor? A common friend? A rock star?—–i don’t really know….you’ll just KNOW when it’s time.

Hold on tight guys and gals. Enjoy life and be blessed for the rest of your life because you were patient enough to WAIT.

Spending the VDay alone? who cares? it’s just like any other day. Live it like you intend to live for the rest of your life (i hope it’s good though).

"I wish I could bubblewrap my heart, in case i fall and break apart" –from Bubblewrap by McFly. (yes, i know…again)

—-smile people! =) love loTz!

Not Alone

February 9th, 2007 by iaajf

Life is getting harder day by day
Aind i don’t know what to do or what to say
And my mind is growing weak every step i take
Its uncontrolable now they think i’m fake yeah

Coz i’m not alone
I’m not alone
I’m not alone

I get on the train on my own
And my tired radio keeps playin tired songs
And i know that there’s not long to go
Coz all i wanna do is just go home

People rip me for the clothes i wear
Every day just seems to be the same
They just swear
They just don’t care

Song: Not Alone by McFly

2309257445 If my life had a theme song, it would be this one. Not because it’s sang by my favorite band but simply because, it is like my life.

For the past week, I’ve had this song playing in my head or loudly into my ear (like now) 24/7. I never got it off my system since then. Owell! I don’t mind at all since i am able to relate to it from the first chord strung on the guitar to the last beat of the drum.

A month ago, hhmmm….no, a few weeks ago, i got into an argument or shall i say a tiny quarrel with a friend of mine of roughly 3 years. Because of the crazy things we did, we ended up not talking to each other, and probably hurting each other (well, i sure am.) I want to still continue the friendship but this have turned cold. I told myself that I won’t force it on him if he doesn’t want to. As i was listening to this song, this painful memory came back to life as if it had happened on that specific night. I just realized that the memory was so fresh that the wound didn’t even start to heal yet. I didn’t know it would end this way. At least i didn’t think it would turn out sour. I spent my days in school doing a lot of things, hiding the pain away through my smiles and laughters. Who am i kidding?! one single song brought back all the ouches and the tears.

I felt alone and i realized what a mess i am. I feel going on my life alone. and all i want to do is just get on with everything in a split second, but realizing that time seems to have slowed down…Every second bleeds my heart and stains my life, every moment is pure torture and sadness, everyday is same as yesterday. My life fell apart because i got nothing and made someone miserable. I’m just looking up to nothingness, thinking of all the things it CANNOT give. "What a loser." i thought to myself. Am i this terrible?!  Am i this sensitive and fragile? Can ONE person bring my whole world down?—-Yes, he can and he did. Yes, i am terrible. Yes, i am super-sensitive. And all these are bringing me down and i cry every night to sleep since then.

However, I’m thankful of that moment for it made me realize i got more friends when i thought i didn’t. I got a wonderful family with sisters and a mom who love me like crazy, and a God who has never left my side when i though He had already deserted me….come to think of it, I’m not alone.

Though this is the only song that summarizes how i feel, through everything that has happened, it came to me that there are other songs that could bring me up and could make me feel special. I feel left out, but i realized that it’s ME WHO WANTS TO BE DESERTED and that people around me NEVER deserted me.

I am coping up and getting my life back on track. When Danny Jones wrote this song, he wasn’t kidding when he said that life is getting harder day by day. It is, but the beauty of this song is that, when the time comes when the statement hits you hard, you realize that you are not alone. And when you get on the train on your own, you are actually going home to a place where it is filled with people who loves and cares for you.

While listening to the song, it dawned on my mind that some people will hate you, yet some will love you. It’s like a correlation or something. and one doesn’t have to bother themselves with people "they are not in good terms with" but improving their relationships with people who don’t just desert them.

One person brought me down, but a lot of people are lifting me up. I didn’t lose anything. I gained something.

"DON’T STOP ME NOW. I’M HAVING SUCH A GOOD TIME! I’M HAVING A BALL!" [Don't Stop Me Now by McFly (original song by Queen)]— I still have other songs to listen to… It’s gonna be a music-filled life..and i am loving every moment of it!

All About You

February 1st, 2007 by iaajf

I guess when i said that college is better than high school in my previous blog entry, i realized that there are a lot of great memories in high school! heheheh! and things that can only happen in high school… well, usually. =)

It’s only in high school when you can see practically every girl in your classroom going totally nuts over a boyband, rock band, punk band, or actors. hehe! and the girls get pretty delusioned about the people they hail as their music king! or shall i say… "the love of their liVESe"—oh come on! that’s sick! haha! ok maybe not coz i was part of them too! hehhe! my HS buddy and i used to write a lot of stories inspired by our idols. hehe!

also in high school, love teams were such a fuss! i really don’t see the point why i need to be paired up with some guy i don’t even like!!! (yes, dear reader, i have been paired up with someone i really don’t like and someone i don’t have the intention to like) There are love teams in college though (no names please) but it was so different from high school. in high school, it was so kilig. but in college, kilig seems to cover a bigger ground because they actually end up together! or…they actually look good together, and to top that all off, they LIKE to be together. hahah! i’m not trying to run by someone but those are what i observed!

what else was in high school? there are so many, cutting classes, copying of homeworks, last-minute syndrome… oh wait! you still see those in college. hehehehe!

anyway, getting to the point of this blog, i wrote this coz im starting to behave like a high school gurly again! im hooked to a new band that i really can’t stop thinking about. trust me guys, i resigned from being a fanatic when i graduated from high school. of course, im not that dense not to like any other band after that… still had my favorites like blink 182, bond, maksim ( a little more mature this time ). i like them but i don’t go crazy over them like i would be when i was in high school! hahahah!

so anyway! heheh here goes:

Got to know McFly (the name of the band–which is the main point of the story! ehhehe!) in the movie "Just My Luck" with Lindsay Lohan. hehe! their role was an english band, self-titled (which means it was still McFly), and their manager was Chris Pine (char char ni Lindsay! haha). anyway, the story is quite long but it talks about luck getting switched between Miss Lucky (Lindsay), and Mr. Unlucky (Chris). there were performances of McFly throughout the movie. That was when it hit me: "The brown-haired guitarist with stunning blue eyes is so cute!!! too bad they weren’t a real band." that was when i was wrong. for the next few days i found myself humming to their tunes and i realized that i really like the band. so, i sat down in front of this white monitor and started searching for McFly. shocked me big time when i knew they were A REAL BAND! and yes, they have several albums! and of course, their number one in europe!

that was when i hysterically told my Mouse Potato (LOkI) to look for albums! and yes! they are incredible! (calm down wends…easy)

that’s when i wanted to go down "memory lane" (that’s one of their songs), and just recalled how i was when i was a big fanatic of all those bands in High School. To know more about the band, check out: www.mcflyofficial.com  -you’ll love them! to get a glimpse at what they sound like. try imagining The Beatles and Blink 182 merging (according to Chris Pine in the movie–he played as the band’s manager) with a little dash of Queen (according to me heheh and yes…May God bless the soul of Freddie Mercury). well, if you don’t like beatles or blink or queen…then get out of here! i don’t need you wasting time reading this blog!!!!!!

…wait come back! you’ll love them anyway! heheheh =) describe them in whatever way you like! bottom line: they’re great! i wouldn’t be writing a blog if they were THIS GREAT! hehe! i never wrote a blog bout my other fave artists and bands right?

Here are some pics!

1092248103ilovepop_2 this is them okay…. that’s harry the drummer, tom lead vocals and guitars, dougie the bassist, and the cutest guy in black and yellow print is danny! he is also vocals and guitars.

Boredom takes over!

January 21st, 2007 by iaajf

Boring YYYAAWWWNN! it’s 10:17 PM on a Sinulog (oh for those who doesn’t know sinulog, it’s a feast of the Sto. Niño here in Cebu City) night, and i’m stuck with you. jeez! I just put down my Law book since reading all the articles is making me go crazy. I guess i could leave it. Exam in Law is not until Friday. Globe is messing up! I can’t receive any messages not later than an hour after it was originally sent! I’m getting restless and is soooooo darn bored.

I went out a little while only to find a mob of people drinking, smoking, and eating outside the dormitory. I got so choked up going through the smoke. I was on my way to McDo to get myself a nice drink and some yummy burger but then, Jones was packed and i couldn’t get through. Plus, there are ill-behaved-drunk men calling my attention when i passed by. Goodness! The nerve!!!! I got so annoyed that i just had to go back to my room and stay there til i rot with boredom, and deal with my restlessness. that’s why i decided to come down, unless i wanna snap like a twig. (what a sad way to go crazy…with a law book…tsk tsk tsk)

I do so many things tonight like: Eat my favorite quarter pounder and fries, hit a case of bottles at those stupid men, throw my phone away since the service is acting up, and just burn my school books!!!! oh wait…maybe not…it’s midterms this week. –bummer

although not all of my day went down in the drain…i had a very interesting talk with a friend from Canada. Heheh! it’s so hard to keep up since he was falling asleep when we were chatting in Yahoo! Messenger (the beauty of chat). Duh! it’s like 24 hours difference! hehehe! anyhow, it was fun though. that’s the only fun part in my day. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…

anyway, don’t let me bore you with this boring blog about my boring day! sigggghhhhh….. I’ll let you know when i snap!

toodles! =)

**snap!**.somebody call a doctor!

Missing the Sugar Rush

January 8th, 2007 by iaajf

Blushing siiggghhh….. sswwwoooonn….hhhhaaaaayyy

these are my usual reactions when watching something cheesy and sweet on TV, or just anywhere else. hahahah! yeah! missing the sugar rush is the perfect way to put it. owell! it’s not like i want to be tied down in "just any" relationship but would it be fun to date???!!! aaaahahahah! who knows??!

it has been ages since my last "crush" (hanggang crush lang po ako–LOL) i kind of miss the feeling that you just want to follow him around and be there where he will be. gosh…sound like a stalker! hehehe! but anyway, i miss the "kilig" effect whenever he calls my name, looks at me, glances my way…or simply, ask for a piece of paper, or borrow my pen, or answer his questions (just yes or no questions, no follow-up needed WAAAAHHH!!!!) hahaha! i’m sure everyone has went through this stage aiyt??! but hey! there’s really nothing wrong with it. it’s happens so naturally. like…ur heart skips a beat when you see him, your palms sweat (or YOU sweat–nasty), you start to fidget, his voice is drowning you sense of hearing, or better yet, he is the only one you can hear, your eyes tell everything (including the most embarassing far-off look that would probably scare him), your getting dizzy, and you faint! ahahah! nothing critical though.

but that’s not how i deal with these pestering crushes! i just act cool, as if i don’t like him, just smile and be like the "wendy" around her friends only. nothing big. i don’t want to be embarassing myself that’s for sure. however, there is one thing that i don’t like when i see my crush/es….i blush! even though i don’t smile or think of anything, my face has the tendency to go red if he is around. suddenly, i would be feeling that my cheeks are hot. and i go like… CRAAAAPPP!!!

hehehhheeheh! well, haven’t had those moments in a long time. maybe when Mr. Right comes along, i would just blush! hehheeh! till my next blush..eeerrr…i mean blog! toodles everyone. and keeps those cheeks at normal condition! =) mwah!

DMs Just Wanna Have Fun! [so give us a break!]– XMAS party 2006!

January 5th, 2007 by iaajf

Ok, this is a little behind and late. hehehhehe! I was planning to work on it over the vacation when i realized that the pictures werent posted yet, and the phone line at my house was out. DDUUHH… so here it is!

Through the very careful planning of the Department of Laag, the Christmas Party 2006 was conceived. It’s is said to be a double major event! and a super BJ (bonding jud) moment. Chairman Stephanie "Inee" Villa and with all other BODs chose Hadsan beach in Lapu-Lapu as a venue for the party. It’s cheap, and we can have all the fun we can! LAGUV! Ok, every corporation is to go together and have their own transportation. And is also assigned a contribution to the planned activities. P1010037_1

The Creative ThinkerZ Corporation handled the programme for the day which included, a presentation from each corporation, games, manito-manita, Miss Gay Universe, and OA Awards year-end specials.

P1010037_2 The House of Dominique Incorporated (hi gurls) handled the prizes.

P1010037_3  The ShePao Corporation handled the most delicate part, FOOD!!!! and the DMtrepreneurs Corporation handled the….don’t remember! the planning of the assignments?! hahaha! sorry gurlZ!

P1010037_4 The program started at  11 am with the presentation with host, Jian Maverick Lasala who is tasked to introduce the special guests, and the presentors (The Creative ThinkerZ were introduced the Nth time–heheh).

P1010037_5 P1010037_6 The Creative ThinkerZ did everything, sang, dance and acted.

P1010037_7 P1010037_8 The House of Dominique gave a "sensual-daw" dance of Buttons by the PCD with frontgay Jian Lasala! ahaha!

P1010037_9P1010037_11   P1010037_10The Shepao and Dmtrepreneurs were merged and gave a dance-number-ala-cheerdance with leads, Mr. Sylner Lopez, and Miss Inee Villa! hehehe!

P1010037_12 P1010037_13 The games followed after. I don’t know the names though but this is how i remembered it. the first one is the ship is sinking which was so laguv coz our aim was to  make Kei Go run! hehehe! the next game had to something with a P1010037_14badminton racket and an animal. each P1010037_15 group was made to choose and animal in bisaya with 2 syllables only. the game master would hold onto the racket and point at any group randomly. when the racket is up, the group pointed at is supposed to say the first syllable of the animal word, and when it’s down, your supposed to say the 2nd syllable. pretty fun and confusing. after two mistakes, you’re out! heheheh

P1010037_16and the most awaited!!! MISS GAY UNIVERSE with host, who else, Jian Lasala. The contestants were nominated and this is the list: 

P1010037_17Adrian Banzon (Miss New Jersey)

P1010037_18David Tangal (Miss Venezuela)

P1010037_20 Johnson Tan(yes, Johnson–Miss China)

P1010037_21 and Sylner Lopez (Miss "FAFA" New Guinea).

[NOTE: THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT ALL THE CONTESTANTS ARE REAL MEN! "DI AKO BAKLA" THIS WAS ONLY DONE FOR THE SAKE OF FUN AND TO GIVE JUSTICE TO THE PREVIOUS CONTESTANTS OF MISS GAY IN MOUNTAIN VIEW. Reigning Miss Gay: Neil Acebedo--real guy pud! P1010037_22]

P1010037_23 There was the swim wear competition, one-voice competition, a talent portion, and question and answer portion. A special award of Miss Photogenic was also given. This was the highlight of everything. Everyone was so busy pampering their contestants, making them beautiful and as gurly as they can be. teaching them to walk and do the ramp! It was just CRAZY! we also attracted a crowd in the beach! heheheh! Anyway, the winner of the swim wear competition went to the Mystika of DM- Miss Fafa New Guinea Sylner Lopez! Best One Voice went with the intoxicating beauty of Miss Italy Keith Tuazon! Miss Photogenic was my bet, the very beautiful(TITA AIDA!) Miss Venezuela David Tangal! The one who took home the crown was Miss China Johnson Tan who shocked the whole world of DM with his flawless skin and very witty answer! hoooohooo!! Kudos!

P1010037_24 Manito manita was next. Before you can give the gift, you have to say something about the person in front of everybody. touching words were given out P1010037_25and even tears were shed. aaaawww… what a touching moment.

Img_0987 The OA awards came in next giving special awards to significant people of the batch. the winners were chosen through text votes by the batch themselves facilitated by founder, Kenneth Lopez. Powered by Globe.

after the programme, most of us went to the sea and took a plunge with the "lumot"! Ana Leng! when it was getting dark, we had to retreat back to the city, with memories being shared in the car.

Everything was nice and fun in the party. everyone definately had fun! Once again, it’s the wonderFUN world of DMs…. =) Thank you Krisli for the pictures.  P1010037_26 020068

PFS Episode One: The Marketing Menace

January 5th, 2007 by iaajf

P1010037 Today is the humble deadline of our first Project Feasiblity Study output, the Marketing Aspect. Now, we are marketing students but what the department is asking for is relatively….i don’t know how to describe it but we can’t seem to give them what they want!!

Last night, The House of Dominique Incorporated (that’s us) suffered several panic attacks especially from the president, Mr. Jian Lasala, and their Vice President in Marketing—ME!!! You should have seen me gluing my face to the computer, and my hands chained to the chair and the keyboard! And whenever someone asks me, I answer them blankly…most of the time. I also started to misplace my papers and have to re-do a computation of the sample size! CRAP!!!! You can see me bouncing from one corner to the other of Kimmi’s house. *toink toink toink*. I had to juggle a lot from typing my heart out, encoding the stupid tables, and texting our supplier for the clothes. I got so annoyed that I asked him to CALL! hahahah! HIM TO CALL! Well anyway, he has to be nice! I am his client! —and his cousin! teeehee!

Jian and the others, started to do the projections for our marketing aspect. I don’t know how they did it…but they sure did it! At that time, I was the point of approving everything (another sign of panic) just so that we can submit something today and dread the comments of the department if we submitted late. I finished typing my part only when it was already 5 pm. I started at 3. Not a bad record. Then it was time for Jian to take over. He is a "touch-typist". So he can come up with something on the spot! hehe! well, he did anyway but he started to bug down when dinner time came. It’s such a miracle that HE DID NOT ASK FOR DINNER. He said that he is going to finish and polish everything first. (char!) And then a wave of panic filled the whole place when it neared 10 pm. That’s the time that my sister is going to pick us all up. So we delegated and left everything that is to be finished to our very kind host, Kimmi! eheheheh! and while waiting and wrapping up, MMK in ABS was showing a very corny-sweet-gay story. and Jian was reminded of everything he has in his past with "booboo bear". ahahahahahahah! it was actually starting to get really nice when my sister has to come and abduct all of us. We had no choice. So we all went home.

Now this experience reminded me when I handled the Olango group last semester. I guess that if we were able to go through that, we will definately go through this paperwork. I’m glad I have thr corporation and other friends to support us or else, we could have lost every hope we have for the company. We love working but as you know, we are the batch in BA who loves to do things OUR WAY! we hate to be dictated. but we still have to comply with what is being asked and we still try to get them done by the deadline. I know all the other corporations are also doing so. =) In my next blog, I’ll take you to a tour around the corporations that are formed because of ENTREP 39 in the double majors pioneer batch!

How CATALYST changed my life!

December 15th, 2006 by iaajf

Funny how God can shape ones life…placing you where you are at the moment…letting things happen to you…all for His good reason!

My high school life was a mess. I got many enemies, and i love ruining people’s lives! I could say it was a "hobby". It was that moment in my life when I could say I sold my soul to the Devil. Since my father died when I was in my 1st year of high school, nothing was the same for me. I’ve changed overnight!

When I passed my entrance exams in DLSU, I was pretty confident I would be studying in Manila rather than Cebu. But to no avail, I ended up here. That’s when I met YM (CATALYST) through the help and patience of my best buddy, David. It’s so weird and odd how God made me meet him, and eventually take me to a group of young Christian worshipers who in turn, helped me in shaping my life with God’s guidance. KAdes has been a BIG help to me with regards to my walk with life.

The group expanded in numbers, and so did their hearts for the Lord. I couldn’t say I’m a "regular" Catalyst since I’m banned to attend any of their services by my family. But I really don’t mind as long as God is with me, and helping me through life. It’s such a joy to see the group growing under the Lord. Cebu City definately would see a great change because of Catalyst and other Christians.

One of my first few friends there were David, AJ, JR, Emmanuel, Elsie, Brent, Camille, Maryanne, Pam, and KAdes. I remember these people so well because they all contributed to the turning point of my life—that first night I attended YM (august 20, 2004) Thanks to them, i was able to meet the Lord!

I’m sure the group would continue to grow and fish for new children that are in need of the Lord. That’s what we do best!

CATALYST meets every Saturday afternoon at Church of Our King, 2nd level of Mango Square beside Bites and Brews coffee shop, and Monster Radio. Hope you could all make it!

Double Majors Pioneer Batch!

December 14th, 2006 by iaajf

020029_1

I’ve always been told that high school is the best chapter of a student’s life. In my case, i beg to disagree! I had the best roller coaster ride right here at this humble university, right now with the PIONEER Batch of BS Business Administration Double Majors in Marketing Management and Entrepreneurship.

My greetings to all BA-rolinians! Our dear department has been offering us with quality business administration courses with majors. There are so many of them, but what’s the latest fuss in DMME (Double Majors)? I’m about to take you to a trip of how it is to be in our shoes.

Not only are we enrolled in the longest course in the history if BA in this university, but we are also enrolled in the greatest ride of our lives! There were only a few of us who really started out as double major students, the population dramatically increased in the second semester of our first years. The fun never ended since.

Friendship is number one in our batch. We make it a point to get to know each and everyone, play games (even during class hours), and of course, we have an unending list of whose house to visit and mess around next. When did we start to be "this close" you may ask. Ironically, we didn’t get close and bonded up when we were having our weekly trips to the malls, or movie marathons, we got this close during our endless chain of PLANS all submitted (finally) last semester.

Last semester, 3rd year first semester, was the wackiest and craziest part of my college life. And I’m sure my batch mates would say the same. If this was a roller coaster ride, this would be the part when we are having 24/7 loops. To make it worse, the ride malfunctioned and we are stuck in mid-air…upside down! What a treat! (At least the loops stopped…at a very inconvenient position though).

During that semester, we had our Mark 33’s Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) Plan under Miss Melanie Banzuela-de Ocampo with cooperation with the College of Architechture and Fine Arts Major in Advertising Arts (CAFA-AA) students; Mark 31’s Distribution Channel Plan under Miss Joyce Natalie Yang, and Mr. Sol-Owen Figues (there were two classes); Operating Investment Plan under Mr. Rhodelio E.L. Campilan’s Finc15; another heavy plan in Geo41 under Mr. James Uy (we were made to MAKE maps of a certain location and do extensive research about the location); and the most sought-after memorial plan from Cosmopolitan Funeral Homes. I could say the funeral homes were doing great in business!

Of course, I’m joking about the last plan. These requirements were submitted and defended by the end of the semester. It was actually the first time I felt that I am no longer capable of completing anything because of all the requirements to be submitted. Nevertheless, as I’ve said, stronger bonds were established. I’ve bonded more with my group mates (hi gurlz), and so did the other groups. Every group shared laughter, smiles, bright ideas, fun, tears, sweat, petty fights and arguments, disappointments, frustrations, brain drains and even burnouts. Sleepovers were very rampant during this semester. We actually felt that we were no longer living in our homes. Our family barely sees us. The time that they would hear from us was only when we are asking permission for another sleepover. Okay, I’m exaggerating but I’m sure you see my point. Ironically, we don’t sleep during sleepovers. The teachers should have just bought weighing scales during our defense and measure our eye luggage. The group with the heaviest eye luggage wins!

Although the work was heavy last semester, we never regretted taking up double majors. We are proud that we were in it, still in it, and will make it through together. Right now, as we journey to the next chapter, our Project Feasibility Study (Entrep39), we are all expecting more adventures coming our way. The beauty of being a part of this batch is that everyday is a new day to us. We don’t know what is in store since we are the first ones that are going to be trying it out. The "thrill" is there. During the three years under this program, we learned to be independent. We cannot rely on higher batches since we are the first batch and that made DMME such an excitement.

Aside from all these school work, we still find time to relax and hang out with each other, and continue to nurture our friendship under the guidance of God. We have a Department of Laag, who carefully plans the next double major activity with whole heart and enthusiasm under the leadership of Chairman Stephanie Agustinne "Inee" Villa. We have our very own DMMC, Double Majors Murag Carolers, bringing the yuletide season to cheery and happy homes under the coaching of Mr. David Tangal. (Okay, I admit, I made the group’s name just now while writing this. Hehe!) We have the Creative Thinkers to thank for the successful OA Awards that has been at existence for many seasons already, accompanied with great hosting skills of Mr. Kenneth Lopez. And of course, our very own version of Yahoo! Messenger, DMTC (Double Majors Text Club). Before joining, make sure that your phone is in perfect condition because it wouldn’t be after you’ve already taken part in this crazy-inbox-flooding-no-mercy text club! Enjoy while your phone still can. We are also coming up with our own dictionary that contains our favorite random expressions and words. You see, this batch is a pool of fun-loving and creative individuals which makes this batch even better! We have, Jian Lasala, a promising fashion designer, and our very own photographer Miss Krisli Joyce Go!

All these wouldn’t be possible without the competent teachers who lovingly share their knowledge and wisdom to all of us. Thanks and kudos to teachers such as Mr. Rhodelio E.L. Campilan, our BA Chairman who takes time off to listen to our concerns and helping us make this course as enjoyable as it can get; Miss Melanie Banzuela-de Ocampo, school has never been this fun without her motivation, and inspiring words; and to all teachers of the BA department who all made a difference and an impact to each student enrolled in this curriculum. We salute you all!

In DMME everyone is Kapuso and Kapamilya, no one gets left out. We are all together may it be in school work, or simply having fun–which we technically do better than the former! LOL! =)

If you ask me, college is the best! I wouldn’t ask for any other set of classmates020047_1!!

The Blues of No Sleep! (OverNyt Escapes)

December 2nd, 2006 by iaajf

Ok, last sem was pretty hectic….hhmmm… let me rephrase it…Last sem WAS VERY VERY HECTIC! i could count my sleep! for quite some time, no-sleep has become a part of my routine. it feels so…..undescribable when you can actually watch the sunset, and the sunrise. and what was i doing during the span of time??! stayed up and faced the compDsc00167uter. let us see… 

This picture was taken during our FINANCE/IMC work. it’s late at night and we decided to take a break and eat pizza (the only real food we eat aside from puso and bbq heheh) That’s Jian, me, Maeka, and Inee. as you can see, our eyes look very very dark…well except for inee–all she can do is smile and look cute! hahahaha! peace!

Dsc00181 WELCOME! this is how we look like when we were working! the OLANGO team with two very helpful extras, loki and bo! heheh! this was also…very late at night!

Img_0688 this was me in Marriott Hotel eating pizza…again! Yes, the photo is edited by Maeka, that’s why i look half a human here! heheh! you know what i mean!! don’t ask!!!

Dsc00182 All those work and no sleep led to a face that has not been accessed in the natural world! THAT is the face! hahha! crazy, looney, and has completely lost it!

anyway, the sem ended with great memories. now, it’s another sem…and expect me to have darker eye luggages!! heheh! it’s PFS time and it means it’s NO SLEEP time again for all of us!! God Bless our SOULS!!!

–peace Out!
