Tuesday and Wednesday

Tuesday ( June 26) Quiz day for MICECON (Micro Economics). I don't even know hope I've answered that quiz. Haha! Economics isn't really my thing but I think I did well with that quiz. Next class was VIDPROD (Video Production), looking forward for that class coz that's what I want to do, video angels, shots, concepts, analyzing video. Training with Lucid in the evening. Jogged through the campus, bunny hops going down and up the stairs, then Insanity workout c/o Neo! 40min non-stop workout! Everyone was dying. Hahaha! But no pain, no gain guys. We have to get strong for the 2nd term! I don't know why but the security guards is always angry at us. Especially with reservations that I've reserved for a long time already. Tsk. We follow how the system works with the administration but the guards always think that we're playing them. Wednesday (June 27) Script reading for PERFLIT(Performance Literature). It was a good run for the first time. I can't remember what happened much that time. hehe. At COMPART (Computer Art) Audacity and MuseScore was introduced. They're audio editing programs. Worked on our final project. I'm doing 2 videos, 1 song cover and 2 photo shoots. Good luck with that! Training comes! The painnn! More running and stretching!

If you only knew how much we miss you and still care for you. I hope when the time comes when you realize that all we're saying here is for you to be a better and safe, that your wake up call won't be that harsh for you, but that can't be helped.

What we're doing here is what we think is the best for you. I'm really sad right now. I want to talk to you and tell you that we still really care. That you don't have to distance yourself from us. Hindi ka pabigat at kahit kailan hindi ka naging sakit ng ulo.

I'm not your dad or even your relative for you to listen to. I'm just a friend that is concern.

It's over even before it began.

My day went great for the early part of it.

3pm.

I met with some of my elementary batch mates today. We weren't complete tho, but catching up with them was really nice. We ate bunch of street food near Raymundo Gate at UP. Isaw, tenga, kwekwek, proben, shakes. First time to eat street food that much in a long time. Can't do that at Manila because you don't know how clean at is there. Went to Aerianne's place to visit her. It was a quick notice, good thing she was home.

Discovered UNLITXT10! One day unlimited for globe to globe subscribers but on specific areas only. My sister said it can't be used at Manila. Hopefully I can still use it when I'm at Sta. Rosa tomorrow!

Went home around 9pm. For the first time, my dad asked me about my love life and was surprised that he knows that me and ... aren't together now. It's been 8 months and I didn't have the courage to tell my parents that. Sucks to be me right? Hehehe. I'm very shy talking to them about stuffs like that. But also for the first time, I opened up with my current situation concerning that "love life".

Now here things got rough.

Later after that I discovered something really bothering. I'm trying to help this person but I think I'm being too much attached. And it hurts when I'm hearing stories being told to us by a friend. It hurts when all we're trying to do is help the kid improve and explain how to be independent and don't rely too much on the people around you (yes, there will be friends who will stick with you but not ALL would stay till the end. ) but I think even though that the kid is listening, you can't take way the close mindedness. I know we're all longing for that attention and love from other people but doing this sorts of things? The depression that the child is experiencing is way too much for her age. Way too much for us either. We're trying to give the best advise as a friend, the guidance of an older sibling and I hope even the slightest chance that we can have an impact to the kid. I can't really tell if there is any. I don't see the kid everyday. We also can't tell much or even scold the kid coz we don't have the right to.
Now I'm stuck in this situation. There's no one to blame. I've put myself into this. I don't know really what I'll do next. There's too much people getting involve and getting hurt. Things will be much easier if it was just me but when was things easy in the first place? God didn't created the world full of roses.

I hope also that I can give this much attention to my own siblings. I don't even know if I'm a good brother to them.

Going back to my talk with my dad. He said that focus on what I have now. Know my priorities especially my organization and academics.

And as much as I want to tell you guys what I told my dad for him to say those words, I'll leave you guys this...

"It's over even before it began."

Starting the term with a bang!

Windang Week

WHAT A WEEK 

 June 18 (Monday) 

 I don't have classes on Mondays. It was a good day because I was able to just rest and relax for the whole day. For the past few weeks, it was all about dance and the stress and pressures on our bodies for Cultura Verde. 

 June 19 (Tuesday) 

 Happy birthday, Jose Rizal! No classes! Super long weekend for me! Extended rest day but went back to the Sta. Rosa. Went to Keisha's place with Pau, Shar, Kat and Denz. Chill day before classes starts again. Dorm cleaning in the evening then took some shots of Red Horse later that night. ;) 

 June 20 (Wednesday) 

 PERFLIT class and was game 4 of the Miami-OKC Finals series. Was trying to get updates during class hour, good thing Denz has a laptop. Our script c/o Sir Micko for the class was awesome. It was kinda text heavy, having different scenes from different literature and put it into one script but all having sense. For COMPART class, we were taught how to do vector imaging on Inkscape.

 That awkward moment when this photo has more likes than the original. It was fun cartooning myself. Hahahaha! Had our auditions again for Lucid! 6 new members auditioned. They were the people who signed up during the Recruitment Fair. Tho we have our auditions proper before the Fair. I have high expectations for this batch coz I can see a lot of talent with this kids. I envy them because when I was at their age, wasn't that good at dancing. 

Ate dinner at Big 30 at Paseo c/o Ate Marianne! Happy birthday tooooo youuuuu! 

June 21 (Thursday) 

 Ordinary day at school. I still don't want to go back to the dorm because it's still early and I have nothing to do because we don't have training for Lucid so I went with Tin and Kat to her place to do our RESPREP assignments. Ate dinner at Tin's. Tita's buffalo wings are the best + brown rice and salad! Btw, funny day coz Kat's voice was paos. Hehe 

 June 22 (Friday)

 Overslept! Woke up 8:40am for my 8am class. I didn't hear my alarm on my cellphone. Was really frustrated! Though I still went to class and I think our professor didn't marked me absent for the day. Hehe. Was participating naman e. :) After class, first time this term that I ate at Zaide. Sulit. Went to Keisha's place with Rhozan. At 3pm, had my auditions for Animo Teatro. Serenitea with Kay and Neo. Cool app for iTouch, cartooning again with pictures. Hehe. Patch followed afterwards ate at Hen Lin! Created pick up jokes to anything we see. :) 

Went to Paseo to meet up with Dann and Ryan, had a couple of drinks, funny how Ryan was already tipsy with one bottle of GPS! I remember myself back in the days when even at one San Mig light I go tipsy. Then overnight at Dann's place. 

  Congrats Miami Heat! 2012 NBA Champion! Never lost that faith!

 I miss dancing! 1 week without training feels so long! Though for the next few weeks we're having our training again. Body conditioning, workshops and other preparation for Skechers Dance Competition on the 2nd term. I don't know if people are actually reading my posts but hope you enjoyed reading. :)

To the next 100 years!

June 16, 2012

To creating the next great idea! The DLSU-DLSC integration has arrived! Another milestone for the Lasallian community as DLSU shares faith, service and communion for the next 100 years.
Student leaders from DLSC got their hands full as we prepare and wait for the arrival of the motorcade of DLSU-M all the way from Manila.
It was so hot that everyone was bearing the heat while waiting. As the motorcade arrivedeveryone was chanting D-L-S-U ANIMO LA SALLE!

I can officially say that we're
De La Salle University-Science and Technology Complex, Leandro V. Locsin Campus

I'm part of the next great idea!

Cultura Verde experience!

The end is just the beginning!
June 15, 2012 marked the centennial closing celebration of the Lasallian presence in the Philippines. Lucid Dance Troupe is fortunate enough to be part of it. We were invited to perform at Cultura Verde, showcase of talents from different La Salle schools all over the country. It's a dream to perform in front of the Lasallian brothers and for the community. It's really a blessing and a great experience! Also, we performed on the new Henry Sy, Sr. Hall, how cool is that?

Lucid Dance Troupe, June 14 for the blocking day.

It was really a night to remember. It's not just about performing but also making new friends and strengthening old ones. I'm really grateful to all the Canlubangers who went to DLSU-M to support and watch us. Heard good comments about our performance and I think we can do it this year. Very inspiring because our new members also did a great job in their performance in DLSC.

Something special for "Independence Day"

I'm really not a nationalist or patriotic type of person. I saw free flags and why not make something meaningful since it's independence day (june 12) and I have my camera.

 

Last June 11, 2012 was the start of the recruitment fair of Recognized Student Organizations but will do a different blog post on that.

Hi Ate Marianne! Take a smile! :)

Even Sir Percy wasn't safe from "The Flag"

Keisha workin' out the formation for the routine for our new members.

Kuya Nin just took the flag from me and made his pose,

Really had fun taking random shots with "My Flag". Approaching people I just want to take a photo with the flag. It was also Lucid's training that I was taking shots. Mehehehe.

Please do support our new Lucid members as they perform on DLSUnite : The Integration Kick-Off Party!

Long day today! Will be heading to DLSU-M for blocking adjustments for Kultura Verde on June 15. Jampack events for Lucid! Must get that rest nowww!

You know the feeling.

"There are things in this world more powerful than words..."

"Movement is the most basic form of communication." 

This video is just what I need for inspiration for the coming days. We have to make a routine and we're still not done or nearly half complete.
 I hope we can make it happen! 

BELIEVE.

I want to share to you my 2nd choreo and 1st video ever made. Just doin' what I feel is right.
I want to make my next one!

That Broke Girl

I downloaded the full season of 2 Broke Girls. Watched the series first time on ETC when they have this marathon. Luckily I was surfing the channels and saw it. Now I'm hooked up to it and having a huge crush on Max. :">

And yes,we did it. "Call Me Maybe"

Last May 31 and June 1, we had our auditions. I'm happy on how the it went. 12 new members joined Lucid and I'm hoping that all of them would stay. Hehe ;)

Big events are coming up! I'm very excited and nervous. Hope I can handle all the pressure as a student, dancer and all the paper works.

Lisa and JJ doin' their freestyles!

Now we have a presentation for a big event two weeks from now and this is what we are doing! Hahaha! Let's enjoy the moment because for the following weeks, vigorous training and rehearsals! (Oh good luck to us!)

I look like a fool. Yea. Enjoy, laugh because I did. :))
