GSM BLUENIVERSITY...

GSM Blueniversity is a program of San Miguel Corporation to all College students of Hotel and Restaurant Management and Hospitality Service. Encouraging all students of Different schools to excel their abilities in Cocktail and Alcohol Mixing. In short, maging bihasa sa pag gawa ng iba't ibang timpla ng alak. It was held at Victory Mall at 9:00am sharp. Wow! Makaenglish lang ako.. Hehehehe...

I woke up by 4:30am para makapag ayos ng sarili at nakaalis ako ng bahay ng 5:30am. Usapan kasi namin magkakaklase na maaga kami umalis para maiwasan ang traffic. We decided not to join the service. Kaso ang mga klasmeyt ko. Filipino time... So? Alam na! Nakaalis kami ng Bayan at exactly 6:45am. Ang tagal ng pinag antay ko??? Tsk..tsk..tsk.. I knew it..On our way to Victory Mall. Hindi pa pala nakakaalis yung mga tao sa school. Mukhang Mapapaaga kami.

Nakarating kami ng almost 8am. Mas maaga sa inaasahan.. Ayun, As usual wala pang tao. Medyo parami na ng parami ang mga participating schools na dumarating. Andyan. Ang Divine Mercy College, Thasias College, ACTEC,Datamex, Arellano University, Our Lady of Fatima University, MMC and di naman papahuli ang La Consolacion College of Novaliches.. (AMALAYER???) Hehehehe.. Trending di ba?

Nakakatuwa yung Speaker nung Seminar na si Mr Brando Tanuan. He was working on Food and Beverage Industry for more than 5 years. Ang tagal na rin nun no...Ngayon, Narerealize ko na malawak pala ang course na pinili ko. Hindi ko inaasahan na ganito pala ka-exciting ang maging HRM. Marami akong Pwedeng Pagtrabahuhan. Lalo na ang magtrabaho sa Cruise line. I find the Seminar very entertaining kasi si Sir Brando ang daming alam na pagpapatawa. Alam mo yung parang nanonood ka sa Comedy Bar. As in  Ganun na Ganun!!! Ang hindi ko malilimutang part ng Seminar ay ang ANNE CURTIS SING A-LIKE CONTEST. Lahat ng Mala-Anne Curtis ng Bawat scools ay nagpatalbugan.. Hahaha... Natatawa talaga ako na ang lalakas ng confidence level as in  parang sky scraper ang level. Nakakatuwa lang kasi very sport lahat ng kalahok.

Siyempre, Natawag din akong representative ng School sa stage para tikman ang Mojito Flavor ng GSM Blue. Yun ang bago nilang produkto. Ang alam ko magiging out na siya sa market anytime soon.Infairness, Ang sarap nung alak n a tinikman ko. Para siyang Mint. Two thumbs up for me.The highlight of the show is to watch them mixing all kinds of drinks. Medyo, Marunong na ako ng konte.. Pero magpapraktis pa ako ng konte para atleast makaya ko na ang makipagsabayan.. Naks!!! Gumaganun pa ako? Hahahaha... Masarap yung Blue Coffee atdrink at tsaka yung may lasang Chocolate. Nakalimutan ko na ang tawag dun.. Hehehehe.. Basta! Alak Masarap...

I was really inspired by Mr Brando Tanauan. I was amazed with the flairing stunts. Although, He stated na it's an old fashioned technique. I find it soooo.. amazing. (With exaggeration yan!!!) Hehehe.. Naalala ko sa sinabi niya sa Seminar na we should never quit and we all put god in all our best. Very inspiring.. Alam mo na napaka jaw breaking parin ng mga stunts niya. Ayun, Dahil dyan, Bumili ako ng dalawang flairing bottles at magpapraktis akong magflair hanggang maperfect ko siya... I am looking forward to be the next Flair Idol. What do you think? Malay mo mo lang naman.. hehehehe...

Star Of the Night!

Acquaintance Party is a yearly celebration of all College level from different courses. The main goal is to mingle with other fellow schoolmates and get to know them more. Meaning, It's like introduce yourself in a leveling way. Hahahaha...Exaggerated pala ako mag define.. You know what???? Ang totoong kahulugan ng Acquaintance Party ay Party, Party! Yung tipong Live band, Loud music and FOOD! (Di naman halatang PG ako?)

Honestly speaking, Hindi ko alam kung bagay pa sa akin ang umattend ng gaanong event. Maybe, It's my age. Alam naman natin na plus 20 na ako. Sabi ko nga nasa midst of adjustment pa ako, when it comes to mingling with my fellow classmates.  Secondly, It's the GASTOS. When there is an event, There's always fees to pay. Do you agree? Di naman mawawala ang  mga babayaran. Lahat naman ng event ay wala ng libre. Depende na lang kung may sponsor na kayang magshoulder ng fees and Last but not the least, Ang Susuotin mo sa acquaintance party. Bukod sa bayarang fee, Di naman pwedeng pair of sneakers, plain t-shirt at pants lang ang susuotin mo for the event. Depende yun sa theme.

 I admit, I am an introvert person. I prefer quiet places than spend my time Clubbing. I feel like wala akong confidence. Ni makipag kilala bagsak ako dun e. Hehehehe.... Well anyways, The theme of the night's party is "HOLLYWOOD". According sa President ng Student Affairs. We can wear anything under the sun. Meaning, Pwedeng pang academy awards, MTV awards o kahit anong Hollywood event pa yan. I find it hard to look for clothes para sa party. So........ I decided NOT to GO. Naging rumor sa buong campus ang hindi pagpunta ng lahat ng freshman sa event. Ang Nangyari they asked for GENERAL ASSEMBLY!

I commend SHANE, the president of CSCB for being courageous in answering all queries about the Acquaintance Party pati narin sa mga ibang officers. The entire assembly, kadalasang ako ang nagtatanong. I was hoping na di sila galit. Hehehe... I was one of the student, who are hesistant to participate with the event. The Student body decided na mandatory kaming magbabayad ng P350.00 for the fee and that includes our food, drinks and other expenses na kailangan para ma accomplish ang event. I find it funny, You know why? Paano kasi they gave us a letter which was not properly printed. Secondly, I read it thoroughly and the letter was sort of misleading. Wala kasing nakalagay na oblige kaming magbayad tapos mandatory ang pag attend pero may response slip for those who will go and not going.

 Noong una, I find it confusing. I told them to revise the letter with the correct content. Medyo, nagkaroon ng konting commotion with the letter. Mrs DELLORO came and explain her side kung bakit hindi nila nilagay na MANDATORY. At some point, tama din siya kasi it is very harsh and rude to read kaya they change it to ATTENDANCE IS A MUST. Ganito lang ang pagkakaintindi ko, for those people who are attending. ATTENDANCE IS A MUST TALAGA!!! If you are not going for any reason, attached a letter coming from your parents and state the reason of not going to this event. Ganon pa man, para di na mag cause ng too much commotion. I decided to sit na lang. (conyo?) hehehehe...

September 8, yaan ang araw na gaganapin ang party. It's been a two week preparation for me. Kaya ayun, Nagbayad na ako ng fee. I regularly visit the GYM para magpalaki ng katawan para pagdating ng event medyo di naman ako haggard. I take a lot of Vitamin C, I sleep very early, I surf the net for what dress to wear. Most of my classmates, meron na silang susuotin sa event. Ako? Heto nganga pa... Nag-iisip ako ng magandang damit para sa theme. Yung una kong decision is to wear MAFIA. Kaso nga lang, mahal mag rent ng coat. Kaya nagtingin pa ako ng pwedeng suotin. I said to myself halos lahat ata ng klase ng damit panlalaki ay pare-pareho lang kaya mahirap makakita ng damit na kakaiba. Nakita ko ang picture na ito:


 I was amaze with the dragon feather kaya na gustuhan ko ang concept nang pagiging DARK ANGEL.Nagtanong ako sa mga friends ko kung mayroon silang pakpak. Sabi nila, "wala na, natapon na nila at magpagawa na lang ako sa Divisoria". I went to the Divisoria with the help of my friend para mag canvass ng pinakamurang pagpapagawa ng pakpak. Siyempre, Andun ang tawaran portion. Ala Banker nga ako e. Tapos silang mga tindero't tindera panay "NO DEAL!" Hay buhay... Nahirapan talaga akong maghanap ng pakpak. At sa kabutihang palad may nag yes sa P2,500.00 na presyo. rush daw kasi kaya mahal. Sabi ng kasama ko. "Maawa na kayo sa estudyante.." May pagka Best Actor itong kasama ko at napapayag niya ang mga nagtitinda sa presyo namin. Ayan, Ok na ako sa pakpak.. Nag surf ulit ako at tumingin ng mga pwedeng style para sa event at luckily nakita ko ito.

PREFERRED GET UP!!!

I decided na all black na lang para maganda. Dahil nga tight sa budget. Umorder ako sa natasha ng mga susuotin ko para sa event. Noong una, maayos pang kausap yung kapitbahay namin. Sabi niya, mabibigay daw niya ang order ko. Hanggang a day before the event, kinagabihan pa niya sinabi na wala daw yung order ko. Ang MALAS nga naman. Kaya ayun.. gahol ako sa oras maghanap ng susuotin. That time.. Hanggang 12noon kami sa school at ang event ay magsisimula ng 7pm. Imagine? Siyempre, magwowork out pa ako, matutulog, kakain, magpapahinga at kung anu-ano pa. Ayaw ko naman magmukhang groggy sa Acquaintance Party.

Habang nagpapahinga..... Nagtingin-tingin ako ng mga pwedeng suotin sa event. Halukay dito, halukay doon.. tapon ng damit dito... tapon doon. Natagalan ako sa paghahanap kasi anong oras na. 4:00pm na! Nagwork out muna ako ng dalawang oras talaga.. lahat nga klase ng Chest Program ginawa ko that day para lang sa event. Huwaw!!!!! Ako na si Johnny Bravo. Hahahahahaa... "I am the Mann".. I worked really hard para lumabas yung mga flex ko. Dapat talaga pinaghahandaan ang event. As I went home and took a rest, Nakita ko yung sandong black. Nagkaroon ako ng ideya na mag black sando, black pants tapos yung shoes ko yung PE shoes na lang para mura.

Dali-dali kong pinalantsa yung damit na susuotin ko tapos ayun, nag ayos na ako ng gagamitin ko. Nagjacket muna ako para makapasok ako sa main gate. Hehehe... Baka kasi bawal ang nakasando. Alam mo yung tipong anxious kasi di mo alam kung ano ang suot ng mga fellow classmates mo. Habang nasa tricycle ako e bitbit ko ang aking pakpak na maitim. Sabi ko sa sarili ko bahala na. Nakarating ako ng 6:30pm sa school. 30 minutes before the event nag ayos muna ako ng sarili. Konting pa-fresh muna kahit pinagpapawisan ang aking katawan.. Nakita ng mga kaklase ko ang pakpak na dala ko. Siguro, nagtataka sila para saan yun. Sinuot ko na ang aking finale props at ayun.. Umakyat na ako ng Multi.



Heto ang itsura ng stage namin. I commend those people who designed the stage. Sa totoo lang, hindi madali ang pag gawa ng stage.. Ang laki kaya ng Multi. Kahit ako hindi ko gugustuhin mag design ng stage eh.. Hehehehe.... (Ang tamad ko talaga..!!!!) Back to my story, Pumunta na ako sa taas para magparegister. Medyo, naiilang din ako kasi ang laki ng pakpak halos sakop na niya ang stairs. Kaya medyo nakakaabala ako sa mga dumadaan. Natuwa naman ako kasi kahit papaano may mga pumuri ng style ko. Effort nga naman ang pagdadala ng pakpak para lang sa ganitong event. Nawala narin ang pagka anxious ko sa aking dala-dalang pakpak kaya ayun.. Pagkatapos magparehistro. Kinunan na nila ako for pictorial. Akala ko souvenir kaya ayun nagpakuha ako. Masasabi kong maraming angat na magagandang babae at lalake sa kani-kanilang style. May parang formal, may parang pang porma talaga at may mga pang clubbing talaga. Yung alam mong after the event diretso na sa inuman.. Hehehehe... Gawain ko kasi yun e.

Nag simula na ang event sa pamamagitan ng Opening Prayer followed by National Anthem. Ang Pinakamemorable para sa akin ang Welcome Remarks ni Sister Gavi. May halong sermon.. Akala ko nga nasa misa ako. Peace tayo sister gavi!!! Hehehehe... After, ang una naming ginawa ay kumain. Sayang sana eat all you can siya. Yung parang sa DADS or Barrio Fiesta.. Ganda sana kung ganon. Anyways, regarding sa ulam.. Ok naman siya. Sakto lang.. Gutom na kasi ako kaya di na ako nag comment. Basta ang alam ko makakakain ako. Yum..Yum...Yum.. Burp..... Busog na din ako.

After ng kainan, doon na nagsimula ang programa tulad ng Dance Contest.. Hindi ko nga alam kung contest na matatawag yun kasi wala namang kalaban. Panalo ang grupo ni Steve Daez by Default. Hehehe.. Kudos pala sa grupo. Lahat sila magagaling sumayaw. They rocked the house!!! Nagkaroon ng Dance Party at Ang Pinaka hihntay ng lahat ang tatanghaling Mr and Ms. Star of the Night. Open to all levels. Ang mga judges ang mamimili ng mga kalahok. Meaning, iba-base nila ito sa pictures na kinunan during the entrance time. Sa malaking Screen pinakita ang suot ng bawat isa.. May malakas ang hiyawan.. may mild lang.. Ayun..

Here are the Nominees:

For Ms Star of the Night:
1. Nicole Medina
2. Angela Villarta
3. (Nakalimutan ko na ang name)

For Mr Star of the Night
1.Steve Daez
2. Kim Hermoso
3. Ronald Derick Azurin (Ako? Weehhhh???)

May halong gulat kasi napasama ako sa nominado. Sa tutuusin kung wala naman yung pakpak e napakasimple lang ng suot ko e. Alam mo yun... Hehehehe...Pinatawag na kami upang magpunta sa Backstage for the Runway.. Ala Bench? Naaalala ko na naman ang aking modelling days.. Hehehe.. Habang nasa backstage nakaupo lang ako. Naghihintay lang.. After nang mga talumpati ni Sister ay nagsimula na kami tawagin para rumampa. Siyempre may Criteria for Judging. Hindi ko rin alam e.. Hindi ko narinig kasi wala ako sa sarili that time. Nagsimula na ang Runway Show at isa-isa na kaming tinawag at rumampa. Nang tinawag na ang aking pangalan ay nagsimula ng pumagaspas ang aking pakpak.. Nag ala JAKE CUENCA ako nung event. Hehehehe.. Yabang lang... Nagsimula na akong maglakad. Ang layo nang lalakarin. Napagod ako sa paglalakad. Natapos na ang Runway at nagkaroon ng konting Commercial. Tumugtog ang grupo ng mga high-school sa stage. Sa totoo lang, magagaling sila sa mga piyesa nilang hawak. Parang gusto ko na tuloy mag-aral ng drums..Hehehehe... Nasaksihan ko ang mga babae kung paano nagtitili na parang kinikilig.. Hehehe... Iba na talaga ang kabataan.. VERY EXPRESSIVE!!! Pagkatapos ng kantahan at konting tilian.. Dumating na ang Awards night...

And the winner is.......

MR and MS. STAR OF THE NIGHT 2012

I was suprised when they called me as the MR. STAR OF THE NIGHT. and Nicole for the MS STAR OF THE NIGHT. My preparation was paid off kasi may award din akong natanggap galing sa La Consolacion College. Honestly speaking, Hindi ko naman expected manalo kahit nominated lang ay OK na ako kasi wala naman itong kalakip na monetary prize. Hehehe.. Yun talaga ang main goal ko may halong cash receivables ang prize ko. Pero ok na din kasi kahit papaano na-enjoy ko naman ang gabi at nakasayaw ko pa yung crush ko. Crush lang naman e.. Wala namang masamang maging PBB teens paminsan-minsan. It was a wonderful experience for me. First time ko lang kasing umattend e. Sa susunod na acquaintance party ano kaya ang mangyayari??? Abangan....!!!

Ang Buhay Estudyante (Back to School)

College life, marami ang nagsasabi na isa sa pinaka memorable part ng buhay nila ang makarating sa kolehiyo. Eto na marahil ang pinaka mataas na antas ng paghubog ng ating kaalaman patungo sa ating future. Matagal na panahon narin akong hindi nakakaranas ng pagsusulat sa notebook, magpupuyat tuwing gabi para magreview upang makapasa sa mga exam lalong-lao na kapag terror ang professor mo. Ilan lang yun sa mga bagay na parte ng ating pagpasok sa paaralan. Isa lang naman ang pangarap ng bawat magulang. Ang makatapos ang kanilang mga anak at magkaroon ng magandang trabaho.

 

Alam natin lahat ang Edukasyon lamang ang tanging pamana ang ating mga magulang. Huwaw! (Napaka-drama ko na...Hehehe...) I remember may college year sa Polytechnic University of the Philippines. meaning, isang taon lang akong naging estudyante ng aking kinikilalang sintang paaralan. Yun kasi ang tawag sa aking unibersidad. Kilalang-kilala ang ito unibersidad na ito na matatagpuan sa Sta Mesa Manila.. Bakit ko nasabi? Kasi bago ka makarating dun e dadaan ka muna sa trapik, tapos kapag umuulan naman e baha. tapos malalaman mong malapit ka na dun kapag nadaanan mo na ang limpak limpak na motel na magkakadikit. Hehehehe... Naalala ko nung enrollment. Akala ko kapag pumasa ka ng entrance exam. Makukuha mo ang gusto mong course. I put Banking and Finance as my first choice. Bakit yun? Kasi magandang pakinggan. Parang ang astig lang. Pagpunta ko para mag enrll. Fist come, first serve pala siya. Ang ending... BS ECONOMICS ang nakuha ko. Sabi kasi nila maari daw kami maging President of the Philippines. Dahil nga, gusto ko ng kapangyarihan. Napapayag narin ako.. Hahahaha!!!! Sabi ko sa sarili ko Magiging Presidente ako.. (Sabay tawa BWAHAHAHAHAHA... May sound effects pa na kulog at kidlat)

 Hindi ko na gaanong ikukwento ang buhay ko habang nag-aaral sa PUP. kasi, masyadong madrama parang Maalaala mo kaya.. Si Charo Santos na lang ang kulang at ang liham.. Kapag ikinuwento ko pa sa inyo. Baka tumaas ang ratings ko sa AGB NEILSEN. To cut it short, hindi ko natapos ang buong isang taon ko sa school kasi nagtrabaho narin ako at the same time. I chose to gave up my studies para makapagwork at makatulong sa bahay. Alam niyo ba? Iyan ang naging sagot ko kapag may interview kaya ayon.. Pasado naman.. Hehehehe.. Wala akong mga picture sa dati kong school. Asa Friendster.. Di ba nag-upgrade ang friendster kaya lahat ng picture ko dun wala na...


Anyways, Pinag isipan ko talagang mabuti kong papasok na ba ako ng school. Paano naman kasi, ang daming magagandang work opportunity akong nakukuha kaso gusto ng Nanay ko matapos ko ang two years para atleast di ako mahirapan maghanap ng work. At some point, My mom is right. The competition now a days are very stiff. You need to work harder if you want to excel. So, I decided to pursue schooling and let go of my opportunities.I believe, I made the right decision. Am I?.. Hehehehe..


I went some public universities and took entrance exam. I must admit, ang hirap ng exam. talagang advance na ang mga turo ngayon compare dati. Buti na lang shading. My plan was to take Education. Gusto ko rin kasi magturo lalong lalo na maging professor sa isang college or university. Magpapahirap din ako ng student.. Joke lang..! Nag exam ako sa Philippine Normal University. I must say na ang creepy ng place. Siguro kasi, matagal na ang school na yun. Ang bintana nila yung panahon pa ng kastila.. Sabi ko nga sa sarili ko para akong nagbalik tanaw sa nakaraan yung uso pa ang himagsikan.. "MABUHAY ANG PILIPINAS!"  Peg ko pala si Andres Bonifacio. Huwaw! Astig lang.. Siyempre, pumunta din ako sa katapat nito ang Technological University of the Philippines. Halos pareho lang ang Building. May pagka OLDIES TIME na rin. Ang dami tao kumukuha ng test. Umaasa na mapabilang sila dito dahil una, mura na at pangalawa, kilala din silang schools sa pilipinas.

Masasabi ko na ang bawat exam at tumagal ng tatlong Oras. Di ako nakapag review kasi nga may trabaho ako nun. Ang hirap ibalanse ang time ko. Tapos, nagkakaubusan pa ng mga agents sa floor. Hay buhay! tapos ang huli nag exam ako sa University of Caloocan dito sa may Camarin. Nag antay ako ng resulta kaso ang ending TUP lang ang pinasahan ko. Pero ayos narin kasi kahit papaano may napasahan naman. Amg malaking problema lang yung Transcript ko kasi 3 months bago ito i-release.Kaya ang pag-eenroll ay isang malaking pagsubok para sa akin. Sa kadahilang imposible na makuha ang transcript ko. I decided to give up my opportunity to study at TUP. Sad face : (

Nag-usap kami ng mama ko na baka di ko siya mapagbigyan sa gusto niya kasi malabo ata akong makakapasok sa school. Hanggang, We decided to try La Consolacion College- Novaliches. Unang pasok ko pa lang sa school. Tahimik, Magaan sa pakiramdam at Maganda ang Ambiance. Noong una, Hesitant pa akong pumasok kasi nga naiisip ko ang mahal ng tuition fee. I talked to my Elder Sister. After a long talk, I was finally convinced to enroll in La Consolacion College. Naisip ko rin na may pangalan ang school kaya di rin ako mahihirapan na maghanap ng work.




My first choice was Psychology. Kaso, wala silang ganung ino-offer na course. sabi ng mama ko wag na daw akong kumuha ng Education kasi parang malas ata yun sa akin. Kaya ayun, HRM ang kinuha ko. HOTEL AND RESTAURANT MANAGEMENT. I find it challenging kasi hindi ako marunong magluto.. Alam ko lang magsaing at mag prito. Natatawa ako kasi hindi parin ako marunong magluto ng mga pagkaing pinoy tulad ng Kare-Kare (My all time favorite!), Adobo, Tinola at kung anu-ano pang pagkaing pinoy. Medyo, nagbago ang pananaw ko. Naisip ko na may future parin naman ako malay mo sa pagiging Chef. Paulit-ulit konh inisip hanggang matapos ang enrollment kung tama ang desisyon ko. Pa-uwi ko ng bahay nagulat ako at nagpakita ang Commercial ng Master sa Kusina with Chef Logro. Nilipat ko at Quickfire naman sa GMA NEWS TV. Tapos nilipat ko sa ABS-CBN at Lumabas naman ang Commercial ng ARYANA... Sabi ko eto na ata ang sign. Kaya pinanindigan ko ang desisyon ko. Natatawa ako sa mga signs. Ang laki-laki ko na naniniwala pa ako dun.

Habang papalapit ang pasukan. Hindi ko alam kung anong paghahanda ang gagawin ko kaya sinulit ko ang nalalabing bakanteng oras ko sa pagtatrabaho, pag gi-gym, paglabas with old friends, officemate at acquaintances sa mga resto, bars, resort at kung anu-ano pang mga lugar para marelax ako. Tapos nagtingin narin ako ng gamit sa school tulad ng Notebook, Ballpen, Bag at tsaka bumili narin ako ng P.E uniform at Daily Uniform. Namumutawi ang pagka excite kong pumasok kahit sabihin kong 20 plus na ako. Iniisip ko nga, Paano kaya ako makaka cope up sa mga tao dun. At the back of my mind, I told myself na BAHALA NA... FIGHT! FIGHT!

 Dumating na ang araw ng pinaka iintay ko. Ang pagpasok sa school. Nararamdaman ako ang pagka EXCITE at the same time ANXIOUS ako. Bago lang ako freshman pa. Alam mo yung kinakabahan ka kasi makikisalamuha ka sa mga PBB TEENS tapos first time ko lang ulit mag-aaral. All my life, puro work lang kaya mahirap din mag adjust sa bagong environment. As I entered the school premises, medyo, natetenswe parin ako kasi atlast ESTUDYANTE NA RIN AKO! Makaka AVAIL na ako ng STUDENT FARE. Hahahaha.. Yun agad ang pumasok sa isip ko. Una kong nakilala si MAU. Transferee din siya katulad ko. Medyo, nakarelate ako sa kanya kasi pareho kaming Newbie sa school. Honestly, wala rin akong alam sa mga pasikot-sikot sa school. Ayun, Nag-usap kami nang konte. Tungkol sa buhay-buhay. Hanggang sa may mga nagdatingan nang mga estudyante. Alam mo yung feeling na parang kapatid lang sila. Naalala ko yung mga kuwento sa wish ko lang na may kaklase silang 20 plus. Medyo naiilang pero sabi ko sa sarili ko FIGHT!

Unang Araw, mawawala ba ang getting to know each other at Introduce yourself infront of the class. Natatawa ako kasi naaalala ko yung highschool ko yung may nametag pa kaming malaki. Hahahaha.. Sana di ganun ang mangyari kaya ayun. Ang unang pumasok sa isip ko.. "SO HELP ME GOD!" Isa-isa kaming tinawag para makapagpakilala... Turn ko na.. Wala akong maisip.. Ayun, simpleng pakilala lang sa sarili. I just realized na mababait ang mga classmate ko at professor ko na si Mrs Dimson. Sa totoo lang, meron siyang sense of humor. May times na natatawa ako sa mga jokes niya..



Heto nga pala ang mga kaklase ko ngayon. Kung inyong mapapansin magkaka edad lang kami.. JOKE LANG! Karamihan dito PBB teens. Sa paglipas ng mga araw.. Nagugustuhan ko narin ang course ko. Kasi lahat ng tao dapat alam mangusina. Alam mo na kelangan yun matutunan. May mga nagsasabi na ilan na madali lang naman matutunan ang pagluluto basta hilig mo. Noong una hindi ko siya hilig hanggang sa dumating na lang ang araw na nakahiligan ko na lang siya. Nakakatuwa lang di ba?

Na realize ko na walang imposible sa mundo basta kapag ginusto dapat sinasapuso. Minsan naisip ko bakit hindi ako bumalik agad sa school at pinagpatuloy ko na lang sana yung pag-aaral ko. Ganoon talaga ang buhay Ika nga sa The Mistress..... :Hindi lahat ng gusto mo, Nakukuha mo!" Ang lungkot di ba? Sanayan lang talaga siguro. Wala naman masamang mangarap e. Basta gusto mo.

Sa ngayon, Freshman pa lang ako. Kung titignan, malayo pa ang tatahakin ko. Pwedeng two years, pwede rin four years.. Hindi nawala sa akin ang hilig sa pag-aaral. Although, Minsan feeling ko pumepetiks lang ako. Nakikita ko yung hindi na ako gaanong nag eeffort mag-aral. Ang goal ko lang naman ay walang bagsak. Nakakahiya din kasi sa Ate at kapatid kong bunso na siyang sumusuporta sa akin ngayon. Natutuwa ako sa mga kapatid ko lalo na sa Nanay ko na very supportive sa akin. Nakikita ko yung eagerness nila na matapos ko ang napili kong course. Sabi nga ng ate ko "I-enjoy ko lang". Sa totoo lang, limited narin ang pag-eenjoy ko sa aking college life kasi nga halos di narin ako makarelate sa mga PBB teens kong mga Classmate. I must say na hanggang ngayon. Nag aadjust parin ako kasi nga maaga din akong nag mature at n-expose magtrabaho lalo na sa corporate world. Kadalasang mga nakakasalamuha ko e mas matatanda pa sa akin..

A wedding to remember

What is the best way to describe the word Marriage? Marriage is a stairway towards adulthood. It's another preparation for the next chapter as parents in upcoming years of our lives. It is not just a resume that once you submit, you can always retrieve it.
I witness how stressful ate was with the wedding preparation from the Gown, invitation, cake, souvenirs, reception, church, number of guests, expenses and so on and so forth. I just came to realize that wedding event is very matrabaho.. Hahahaha.. I attest to that. Before the wedding, I always do my own preparation. So, I could look young and loving it.

I was so excited with the wedding event. I woke up by 2am to cook our breakfast meal. Partida, I slept past 11pm. I have never been so excited like this. Maybe, It's my first time to go to Tagaytay City, Funny but true. Time is running slowly.. I can feel how slowly the tick of the clock runs thru my watch. It's like spend the whole 15 hours as meaningful as we could. Hmmmpf!

On our way to Tagaytay City. My first plan is to do my morning routine which is jogging, once we arrive at the place. I feel the excitement inside of me. I was thinking.." Ano kaya ang manyayari?" I honestly hope that the wedding turns well. Manong driver played old fashioned songs such as "Basta't maghintay ka lamang and Malayo pa ang umaga" I told myself.. "May ibig sabihin kaya ang mga songs na ito. The dawn is finally breaking and I could see the sunrise happily. I was fascinated with the place. I could see the Taal Volcano at the window. My first reaction was "WOW!" I can see my mouth encircled. I was like a grade school having his first educational trip. Hahahaha..

Finally, After a long trip, we arrived at Country Homes II at past 8am. Again, I was amazed with the blue house. It's simple but relaxing. As we enter the place, I have no other words to say but "This place is really beautiful" The structure and the house design is really awesome. It's like living in a first class hometown. It sounds exaggerating but It's true..  The warmth of the sun touching my skin, the soothing smell of cool breeze of the morning. I can feel the essence of Aura in Tagaytay City. Two thumbs up for me!

I did my morning exercise but, I don't feel the sweat flowing inside my body. Is it because of the Cool wind?? I went for a walk and I do a bit scavenger look. Is that the term scavenger or site seeing? just to make it simple and concise. The place is good. I could recommend Country Homes II, As your reference for accomodation on your upcoming vacation. Just be careful of the antiques and any valuable things inside the house, if you dont wanna get penalized. Just a piece of advise.I took a nap after the site seeing drama upstairs. It looks creepy but I didn't mind it at all.

After a sweet nap, I saw the girls starting to do their make up and hairstyles. I must say that the girl who does the make up is really great. People started to get busier than busy. The videographers came and began to shoot us. I feel like that my acting carreer has finally come. Wahahahahahahaha..... The visitors from my mother side had finally arrived and the food is here at last. I feel the sound of my stomach. The photographers came past 2pm and started to do the photoshoot. What tha.....????????

We all started to fixed ourselves and get dressed. I spent 45minutes taking a bath. I assure that all dirt living inside my whole body would disappear. I put my clothes on. I'm not used to wear AMERICANA. I swear! I feel like attending a prom night or an awards night rather. Feeling celebrity. Ika nga nila. We made few shots and few video shoots before we went to church. I hugged my sister. Just to say "I will miss you" Yun na pala yun. I cannot believe that the moment has come and the wedding is on.



I told myself that I'm not going to cry by the time she walked through the aisle. But, I was wrong..As I saw the church door opened and the strong winds of tagaytay hit her viel and trying her best to stompped her first foot up the stairs maintain her composure. I said to myself.. "This is it..!"  A blast from the past when we were kids played on my head. I just remembered the fruitful years we had. All our downfalls, laughter and every single moment we spent together made me realized that we are not getting younger anymore. I got teary eyed every step of the way. I can feel my father's presence through strong winds, trying to tell her happy he is.. I just also realize being my father's proxy is not bad at all.

As we reached the line were kuya Ejay is waiting for us. I took a deep breath and I start to handshake him and address my congratulations. I told her Groom "Take care of my sister" The wedding ceremony went good. I remember what the priest said "There's no such thing as love at first, but rather attraction at first sight". It sounds so true that we cannot say we are in love at first sight. Would you agree? Yeah right!

In the middle of wedding ceremony, I can sense my mom was carried away with the situation, Watching her first born daughter getting married. Very melodramatic.. The guy at the top sings at the top of his lungs with a nice rendition of IKAW, which is always the top choice songs during the wedding event. YEAH RIGHT! We went to the reception area and celebrate the rest of the evening with the newly weds. The only embarassing moment I had is the photobooth. Parating nasisra, everytime na turn ko na.. But the rest are doing really good. I was touched with the Video. Sabi ko sa sarili ko.. Ito na talaga ito..."

                                                          


I'm happy that my sister found her happily ever after on her 30's. It's not easy to keep a 7 years relationship and settle down after. It was a wonderful experience and I will always cherished this for the rest of my life. I'm always here for you whatever happens.. andito lang kami sa bahay..I love you ate..

Jessica Sanchez, the fil-mexican topped the American Idol performances

Another half filipina is trying to conquer the American Idol stage this season. Jessica Sanchez together with the 12 hopefuls are ready to take the challenge to become the next American Idol. The competition is getting more fiecer, more bolder and more stronger. The 16-year-old San Diego high school student is now ready to set the record.

I remember the time when Jasmine Trias and Ramielle Malubay tries to win the title and received harsh comments coming from former judge Simon Cowell. Even, Thia Megia who joined last season failed to make it. I feel sorry for them.

Anyways, I had the chance to watched the last episode. The judges were blown away with her rendition of "I will always love you" A tribute to the late Whitney Houston. She topped the list with her strongest contender Hollie Cavanagh. On set of her performance, Randy, J.Lo and Steven was so amazed with the way she sang the hardest song of all time. She set the bar standards high as She received a very stunning and powerful feedback from the judges.

These are the following comments of the three lovely judges:

From Randy Jackson: "one of the best talents in the whole country."

From Jennifer Lopez: "just amazing. I don't even know what to say,"

From Steven Tyler: "Jessica, you may be the one. You just made 40 million people cry,"

I'm so excited to see Jessica Sanchez nailed it and consistently being on the top. Her journey would not be as easy but, I'm very confident that she would conquer the center stage of American Idol on her every performances. Just keep on voting her. Who knows?? She may be the one to bring home the bacon..  Go Jessica.. Make us proud!

Bela Padilla's Cover for March made a mark in the history of FHM

The most talked about cover ever published in the history of FHM has been selling like Hotcakes. The controversial cover captures the attention of all media and press people all over the metro. They thought that the cover said to be racist. In which Bela Padilla pictures stepping out of the shadow of black people on the background. Despite of the issue, She maintain very reserved and very opinionated.

These are the things that she said during the controversy:

"The concept of my @FHMPhil cover was stepping out of MY inhibitions MY fears and MY shadows. Not belittling any race. :)

"The title provided by @FHMPhil is in connection with the article and has NOTHING to do with skin colors.

A very brave Bela Padilla told the whole press about how she respect the opinion and violent reaction of the press people. A well thorough examination and execution has been made and all certain pointers has taken to consideration and the whole management of the said magazine has decided to change the cover and apologize with the incident.

The new cover set to be very pleasing in the eyes of the press people. In my own opinion, I don't think that the first cover is an issue. If we took the time to examine the cover. I honestly believe that the picture is an art. Because of this, I'm starting to like her even more. I already bought a cover and I must say, It's all worth the money.. Kudos to her!!!!!!

ATENEO Lady Blue Eagles lost their second chance win against DE LA SALLE Lady Spikers

It was a frustrating Wednesday afternoon watching the Lady blue eagles lost their grip for another victory against the unstoppable Lady Spikers of De La Salle University. The much awaited game of all season had sold millions of ticket that made me and friends bought an upper box ticket worth 50.00Php. I must say that the game is truly exciting. The so called "Under dogs" were really dedicated this time to grab their first winning title as the UAAP season 74 Women's Volleyball Champions.

As the game began, You'll feel the heat rises between the two giant schools as they started to sing their own cheers. Honestly, I feel so excited to see Gretchen Ho in person playing her quick set forte. She is very beautiful. Two thumbs up for her!!!!!  Hehehehe..

                                                                                  

I would like to commend Allysa Valdez for her sky rocketing spikes. I have never seen a girl who spikes like a fireball. The game went bad on the third set as the Blue eagles having receiving error while the Lady Spikers continues to put the lady eagles down and bring home the bacon. The Blue eagles failed to maintain their momentum. I did not anticipate the game would end like that. I feel sorry for them. How I wish they do have good receive in order for them to have good play. What I like the most is the combination play and BOOM! What a game???!!!

I wish they could win the next season.. I'm excited to see them again for the Shakey's V-league this summer.. GO ATENEO! ONE BIG FIGHT!
