happy IMCRD
July 23-- HAPPY INTERNATIONAL MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE DAY.
This is to all the lovely MCRmy, music lovers and MCR.
As some of you may know, I'm a very dedicated and huge fan of My Chemical Romance. Yes, a rock band! but they're more than that I tell you. They are family. Once you get to know other people who loves them just as much I do, it's absolute bliss to find someone else or two who can relate to my love for music and my love for this band.
No one else in my class can totally appreciate what this band has done. So for that I brainwash them into loving them as much as I do. I fairly did a good job, but at least I tried.

Yes, this is an official day. May you bump into a calendar and mark it down with glittery pen.

The 20 Day Seclusion Phase
After 20 days, 6 awesome retreatmates, 3 pounds of weight gain, gazillion books and 2 days of make-or-break exam, i'm home and free. Well that is until the results come out after 2 months, then i'm shaking my poor knocked knees like crazy.
I have to say, the retreat house we stayed in wasn't that bad. Take my hints when I say:
-The room is adequate for 3 people, don't insist on 4, it just won't work. I'm referring to the private rooms.
-Cut your hair short in advance, the clogged hairball on that sink just isn't appealing when bathing. Especially bathing!
-Assign people to take out the trash. No really, unexpected visitors may come and stare at THAT corner. Ew.
-Prepare loads of sticky tape to put up those trusty easy to remember acronyms on that snazzy manila paper.
-Never hang your delicates by the window to dry. The boy's dorm is on the other side. So careful.
-Cover up the small window by your CR door at nite. Yes, pervs come out at dark.
-Eat the good food they serve. When I mention good, it's gooooood. 3 meals and 2 snacks. Who can complain.
-When you plan to grab some midnite snacks, share them. haha
-Look your best. Romance can grow any minute with a random guy from the boy's dorm. lol
So the Seclusion Phase is physically stagnant and mentally stimulating. Rushing to learn all those important bullets from all those reviewers is such a rush. And boring.. so if you have time. Go out and goof off (without disturbing the holiness of its estate).
Moments at the house:
-The uphill drive towards to the house was WOAH! but the house in its external view made me go WOW! Just the mere hustle and bustle to find our rooms, unpacking, fixing it up and then walking around kept me on the go. I was in a private room with cathy, rhegz and jacky. As for kathy and harrieth they were at the dorm. Jer was at the boy's dorm. And then our first dinner at the house was a hearty, scrumptuos balanced meal. More unpacking, laughters and then lights off.
-We decided to go off to the woods and explore. The exploration was heat induced but fun.
-So bored out of our wits, we caught a bear singing to a Britney Spear's song.
-Bisita Iglesia on 10 churches made me spiritually awake. 4 out of the 10 churches we went to had a wedding, we dazed on the I Do's a bit more and then left. haha That climb towards the chapel was breathtaking. Whew and we took some time to be with our daddy adviser. Isn't he just a father figure?
.jpg)
-Spring Cleaning on our room occurs once a week. So vacuum here and there. Especially the sink with the hairballs in sight. Ew.
-Thus when Sunday comes, food comes pouring in once again. And our food cabinet is filled up with all its gloriness. Familes can come over by this time and feed us and friends *wink* with favorites. And then goodbyes, next Sunday comes about.
-The most frightening thing happened while we were praying at the chapel. Rain, wind and lightning keeps shoving its powerful forces on us and the next thing I know, a friend of mine shrieked coz a burst of lightning hit the ground next to her seat. It was frightening and we still continued praying. The next day, the area we sat on was never the same again. We shifted to another set of seats. Haha
-Loads of eye candies at the house.
-The night before the exam, while we were praying inside our room, someone keeps knocking on our door and I assumed it was our chaperone and responded by saying "Sir, we're still praying". After the prayer and persistent knocking , I opened the door and found that the boys were caroling every door in the girl's area to wish us good luck and good night. Haha we were all caught by surprise.
-I miss my roommate's farting, butt slapping and chanting. Room 11 is most filled with our hair fall and smiles.
-There was a time when we attended the praise and worship. It was so tear-filled. And the songs they sing is heart wrenching. The Gospel songs we sang kinda unloaded some of the anxieties days before our exam. The preachers hit the matter of the heart so directly. We continued crying on our room right after.
-Oh and our previous record adviser called us all the way from New Zealand to wish us good luck. It was so sweet of her to do so. She spoke to each of us and sincerely sent us her best wishes. Awww.
-The day before the exam, we escaped from the house just so we could go out and have some fun. And to buy us some red delicates coz they say it's good luck when we wear them during the exam. At that day, I got to see my good friend Madz again. I miss her so much. What such luck to have come across her. I'm happy to hear that you're happy in your new choice of course.
-The day of the exam was palm-sweating. Woke up at 2AM so that by 4AM we will leave the house and go to our respective schools. I was doing my breathing and kept having flashbacks of my college days. All those moments, tests, schedules and hardwork have all come down to this day-- The day of reckoning. I was too jittery to even shade my answer. I conclude that the topics were relatively easy, basic and simple but the choices to the situation is darn confusing. I keep ending up passing last. Haha but I don't mind. After that day, I am leaving it all to the Lord.
-Immediately after the last day of exam, we all went back to the house to pack our bags and leave. Hustling an bustling across the hallways, pulling on our stroller bags, saying goodbyes and tight hugs made my eyes watery. I'll terribly miss the house.
The 20 Day Seclusion Phase was a good thing for me. I wouldn't have it any other way.

reach for the gold ring.
My dad has still has his gold ring from his college days at Mindanao. I've always envied how he still has it for so long. I don't have a class ring of my own despite that I've already graduated but my friend does. Haha.
See how it sparkles in front of the camera.
That ring is a cumulative symbol of the 4 years at CDU CN.
That ring spells hardwork.
That ring embodies everything to be part of CDU.

And that ring looks good on any hand!
Batch 2010 FTW!

Run-daue @ Mandaue
Egasp! I want to join and run so bad. I've developed this running routine last year with my dad very early in the morning. I guess it has started rubbing off on me. But lately he hasn't been running in the morning with me anymore 'coz of his difficulty to sleep at night issues. So he runs instead in the afternoon.
Well for all the Cebu runners out there, go ahead and register for Rundaue 2010. Infos and details on poster.

seniors' faculty day 2010
April 7- This was when teachers and students used the word fun and friendship in the same sentence!
Everyone was divided into different
Our class was in Team Yellow!
I kept LOL-ing at our own version of Hip Hip Hooray.
They gave away the most awesome prizes like Cherry Mobile phones and loads of chocolates!
And then the after party!
Karaoke at Cabana's = sweat, fun and moshpits! :D

Garland 2010
Today was the day the Garland 2010 ceremony had taken its course. With a "cruise ship" theme in mind, the juniors and seniors of the University were putting their best heels forward with heads held high.
My ticket to the event:
The program was very much a blur aside from the following:
-the dude who sang for this girl before she had to graduate. while he was singing he went to her table and continued singing to her from there. sweeeet!
-the intermission numbers: the salsa dance, the G boys' dance number and freesteps.
-the giving away of awards, our classmate won the Lady of the Ship award. Have you seen Rachel McAdams in Sherlock Holmes? Well, my classmate's dress is like that, except that it's black and white.
-the dinner slash buffet part gave me the most pain in the heels. I can't believe it was a buffet styled dinner. Don't the juniors understand that we are about 900+ seniors in our batch? Geeez. I have forever plastered it in my brain that that was the worst part ever.
-what happened to the token giving? I thought that was the most prized and essential part of the event? Damn and darn the organizers of the event. I remembered last year I was heading one of the committees, it was smooth sailing my friend not unlike this time. tsktsk.
-the souvenir from the event
-and shot loads of photos.
Well the after party compensated all of it though. We had the blastest time partying and dancing the whole night and morning long. Even in high heels we can still rock it!

Priest tells Pinoys: Give up Facebook during Lent
Via ABS-CBN
MANILA, Philippines - Can you give up Facebook and videogames during Lent?
According to former Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Emeritus Oscar Cruz, Filipino Catholics should abstain from videogames, movies, texting and even social networks as a form of sacrifice during the Lenten season.
"All these sacrifices such as abstaining from movies, Facebook, videogames, texting and eating pork are a form of mortification of the flesh. It is a form of self-denial that is meant to elevate the spiritual needs over the physical," he said in an interview.
Cruz said time away from computers and games would mean more time for reflection. He added, however, that Filipino Catholics should also focus on doing more good works such as giving to the poor during Lent.
Cruz's call echoes a similar proposal by British Church leaders urging people to give up their iPods and abstain from using technology at least for a day.
The retired archbishop had earlier encouraged Catholic bishops to use blogs as a tool to evangelize people.

Year 2
Two years ago from today I was not allowed to visit the inspirational people in my life. Mama says they're too far away and the trip is expensive (yes, we're stingy people :) )
So she made up my very gloomy behavior by buying me a laptop (grateful for this and not not that stingy after all). But nothing can beat being in the hype of what that concert could have brought.
Let me equate it for you.

Let me equate it for you.
I was supposed to see these guys:
in a place like this
with a crowd like this (well, imagine them as Filipinos)
and getting some sort of action (fire or fireworks) like this
Yes, I am saddened by not going there. But at least I got this.
Good things still come despite missing out. It's a My Chemical Romance poster signed by the guys themselves. How truly honored I am to be given such a poster by such a loyal MCRmy friend (hi, athirah). I've had these for 2 years, I think. To have and hold one is so precious to me. I don't have anything close to an MCR merch but when i got this I was too ecstatic and too grateful.
