one day preparation

What should I wear? What appropriated questions that I should ask? How will I speak in front of them? I’m nervous, but excited.

Those sentiments were my emotions during the campaigned of TEAM UNITY in convention center in San Fernando Pampanga on February 21.

After planning everything, on what I wear until on what attitude should I act in front of them, I went to school so early to fix something regarding on my stand up reporting. I was very excited to think that I will interview those people who are running for senator. In thinking that single moment, hello! that was exposure in my part. It was a big achievement for my self to interview those people who have name in society. We required choosing one from the candidates to interview and I chose Vicente Soto as my interviewee. I prepared my questions I tried to imagine myself how to talk to him. While waiting for our departure we heard voices from students, they were shouting outside, so my classmates and I wondered what’s happening we went outside. We saw some candidates like Cesar Montano who were in school, and I realized that was the reason why students kept shouting (kumikilig voice pa). I felt more excited but nervous at the same time. Indeed time was up for preparation, we needed to go in convention center. While were in bus were so quiet living in our own world thinking what will happen in convention center. However when were there already it was unexpected that it was overcrowded, we can’t go inside because there were many supporters in there, until the director of osafa decided to go back in school. On the other hand our adviser didn’t allow us to go back without doing anything. We still went inside despite of those many people. Luckily we were got inside easier than those other supporters whose stay outside. Security guards prioritized students to get inside, especially us we have mission in that event. Sadly we didn’t have chance to conduct interview due of lacking time. The event was already started. We just listened to their platforms. Time was up again we needed to go back in school. Were quite disappointed for the efforts we made but then nothing happened but still were glad because were given a chance to witness their platforms.

Before I ended the day, my friends and I ate together in McDonald for giving ourselves a reward. hehehe

so what?

Some people misunderstood the capabilities of those artist or actor who are running for senator. People thought that they’re running because they are popular. They believed that through their popularity they can convince people to vote them and win according on their desire position. Most of the people say negative towards them. As I heard those bad thoughts I wondered why people kept misjudging them. Is it because we have trauma on what happened on the past? We’ve learned that actors were only excellent only in front of camera and doing nothing when there were in position? Actually it has a point. People were afraid to happen again those bad experiences by voting those people because of their popularity. One good example in this situation was our former president Joseph Estrada even people knew that he was under graduated and uneducated, people still vote him because he was popular. He won as our president, but still he can’t make it. People strongly agreed to impeach him for corruption. He arrested and until now he was in jail. The late Fernando Poe ran as president versus PGMA. But GMA was the one who won, months later Fernando died due of heart attack. And until now every time there were actors who running for position, there were avoidable bad statements towards them.

On the other hand, looking it in positive view, not all actors or artist received such bad feedbacks. Vilma Santos received compliments from the people she handled. People love her and according in television people will support her every time she will run. Tito Soto was former senator he is running again for the same position this year’s election. Though there’s a bit issue in sudden joined in administrative from opposition. But during delivering his platform in convention center he cleared out that he don’t want fight against PGMA anymore, he prefer to have peace and join in her group as member of the Team unity. Cesar Montana questioned also his capabilities but still I heard some good comments for him unlike other artist who’s running in this year’s election.

In my case, it is sad for them to be misjudged, but I can’t blame people to say bad comments on them, in the first place we’ve been through bad experiences. Nevertheless we shouldn’t closed our minds for them, we should give them chance, in the end it is still our own decision weather we vote them or not. We have our own bet. I believed the most important is we have the same goal and that goal is to improve our country.

Best friend or a lover?

Everyone has someone in their life that’s willing to lend an ear, someone who is always there through their ups and downs, someone who can their trust most and knew even their hidden secrets, and someone they used to live in their everyday life.

What if this someone starting to fall in love with them?

Majority of the people who has best friend was experiencing this kind of situation, fallen in love with their best friend. In some movies, whether it was Filipino or foreign movie, the story was ended in fallen in love with each other, otherwise it was depressing ending.
People kept having best friend but there were instances that they can’t avoid regarding to their feelings. Sometimes even in one group or what they called “barkada” happen this matter. They were happy to feel in love even sometimes there were moments that they were afraid in accepting the fact that they were in love, it shouldn’t be good at all in having unusual feeling toward their best friend. Nevertheless they remain strong in supporting their feelings and in absorbing gradually the hidden love in their heart. However some people experiencing worst thing in falling in love. Some people saying that “it’s hard to fall for your best friend and hide it at the same time” this sentiment proved that they’re willing to sacrifice to be silent and handled it alone. It can be possibly because they’re afraid to lose the friendship. They might think that their best friend will evade them if they knew their real feelings. On the other hand they still in love, and what they experiencing is natural feeling it is acceptable because it happens in reality. In fact most of the successful relationship was started as friends. It‘s easy for them to accommodate each other because they already knew their indifferences and similarities. It is natural cause to develop with their best friend. They said that being affected and felt jealous was the signal that they started in falling in love though others defend that it can be jealous friend. I t has a point but to think it deeply the root of that jealous was simply the meaning of love and that love can be develop and can turn it into real love. Jealousy is the word that can poison the mind, it can kill the heart and mind of a person. Even how hard they hide they’re feelings and how many times they’ll deny that they’re not in jealous, it can still revealed toward their actions. On the other hand, there are people prefer to chose being a best friend rather than a lover. At least in best friend there are no breaks and cool off unlike in lovers. They treasure most the friendship and chose to feel free. They ignored their feelings and tried to move on, sadly but that’s life. But not all are agree in that. There are still people who believe and hoping to express their feelings as much as possible. They believe in happy endings. Moreover they were best friend and it is possible for them to have the same feeling.

my angels

I believed angels are only found in heaven. But now associating with many people, I realized that angels can be found here, in this mortal world. When I was a kid I described angels who have two white wings, almost naked and has circle (I forgot the word for that) above their head. However I realized now that there are angels who have the same image with me, normal human being. I never noticed in the first impression but later on through my darkest and lonely days they started to shine, to make me realized that they’re not only ordinary person but can be an angel who can lead me, help me and support me in handling my problems. These are the angels who are willing to help without asking in return. Those angels are rare to find but luckily I found them. Hehehe. Thank you my angels.. wavyou!!

Win

Dark is the night I can weather the storm Never say die I've been down this road before I'll never quit I'll never lay down, See I promised myself that I'd never let me down

I'll never give up Never give in Never let a ray of doubt slip in And if I fall I'll never fail I'll just get up and try again Never lose hope Never lose faith There's much too much at stake Upon myself I must dependI'm not looking for place or show I'm gonna win

No stopping now There's still a ways to go, oh Someway, somehow Whatever it takes, I know I'll never quit, no no I'll never go down, mm, mm I'll make sure they remember my name A hundred years from now

When it's all said and done My once in a lifetime will be back again Now is the time To take a stand Here is my chance That's why I...Mmm, I'm gonna win..

I loved this song by Brian McKnight, because it says something within. It saying that there’s a hope in everything we do. Every time I’m down I used to listen this song and I started to feel good. It sounds good inside. It feels like there still hope and it encourage me to face all the problems I’ll encounter because no one can bring me down. Whatever happens I can still stand. In instance, in battle in life I should win.

Little goodbye

How to say goodbye to people who you don’t want to go?
Why we felt sad when we knew that the reason is good
Is that what they called selfishness? Or simply the word “miss”,Miss the person you value most. The person you used to call your best friend

How can we know if we’re being selfish, if the truth is,we're just afraid to lose someone we treasure, someone we used to know for a long time, the person who see us as family. How can we know if the limitation is over? What are the signals to observe that we’re being selfish already? How will we know?

Words are difficult to answer, words that bothers my mind. Maybe for me it was difficult but not for the others. Sometimes we tend to be happy although I know that’s the goal of everybody. But I believed being happy is depend on us on what ways we do to make feel happy. There are many ways for us to feel the happiness. Being selfish I think is natural for mankind, they not intentionally to act in that way but they accidentally do because they are afraid to imagine themselves being alone, and they make sure they won’t call them a loser. They afraid to woke up one day without someone they call friend. I maybe one of them but I’m trying to wok it out, because being happy should be fair. Both of you must feel the same.

“So many question but the answer are so few” I loved this lyrics by Side A and I agree on it. Sometimes there are many questions, that even how hard we find an answer it still unanswered. But we kept believing and hoping we can search the answer for it. But still life goes on. Even how many trial we experience or how many times we felt that there something wrong, we should to continue life not only to continue but to enjoy it.

expect the unexpected

I never expected that the comment we received in VJ Hunt 2007 was flattering. I expected compliment like good work, nice program something like that, but to hear that it was the best VJ Hunt ever produced, hello? It was so flattering. I can’t imagine that what we did is the best among the VJ Hunt ever. All the risks, effort, time and attention that we spent in that program was brouhgt us to the next level, in a way looking ourselves as a real mass comm. student. VJ hunt was the accomplishment for us that I should be proud of. It made me realized that I can, we can organize a program like the VJ hunt. I’m also proud to Mar for the idea of retro, it helped the program to be alive and much interesting, also Gean, Mic and especially Cris for being a good host. I realized that Gean could be a great dancer hehehe. On the other hand, Cris did her best even I knew that she can do that but still she proved that she can handle a crowd in her own humor. Mic also did her best though she said that di daw siya mabenta hahaha and Julia also for the participation.

Before the program started, I was nervous for the dance number of the candidates. I rehearsed them with the help of Vanessa before the show. We used the CD for rehearsal temporarily, while waiting for the Cas band. We planned that the candidates were going to dance with the Cas band. Suddenly in the last minute rehearsing the dance with the Cas band, the band and the CD we’ve rehearsed did not matched the beat and the countings. The candidates started to ask why the steps changed. And I really don’t know what to do, I can’t change the steps that moment because there was no time. I thought it will get worst if I do that. I talked to the band to adjust their timing for the sake of the dancer, so there were changes in the dance.Then I finalized the steps to all the candidates in backstage because there were already audience outside. Then the program started with their dance, but then again the Cas band weren’t ready yet.To avoid the dead air, they played only the CD. So I started to get nervous again because the steps were changed. There was no choice, so Vane and I went to the front where they will see us to give them the signal on what step they will do. Thank God the candidates were fast learner. But still in the end it was overwhelming because the audience kept on shouting and cheering according to their own bet.

I’m still flattered that despite of the nervous and effort we did, it resulted good. Thanks to the ABMC3- Myk the one, Cris, Jel, Mex, Mavic, Matitu, Kay, Mic, Spring, Lord, Renddy, Rv, Archie, Annalou, tinay, Vane, Ira, Rona, Kath, Joowoon, Melford and especially Gean and Mar. Wavyou guys!!

Also the Candidates thanks..

unwind

After all the tiring moment we’ve been through we need to relax.

In my case, I did funny things like laughing so loud, made jokes and everything to be funny. I set to be energetic and hyper. After having fun with my classmates, I decided to went home and because it was late already. The moment I stepped my foot in our house I started to dance, any dance. I laughed and I shouted. My brother was the one who opened the door and wondered why I’m acting that way. I explained why and he understood it. That night my brothers and my sister was in good mood so they rode with my jokes, I believed that I influenced them being hyper, because they also laugh and laugh. Hahaha. I enjoyed the music, I dance whatever music played. I ate my dinner with them and we chat about the funny memories we experienced. Suddenly I felt my eyes needs to rest, then I prepared to sleep, I brushed my teeth, washed my face and ready my bed and then ssszzzzz...I fell asleep. Hehehe. Then I’m ready for the next day.

i love our class

I’m happy that I belong to ABMC3. We rule!! I love being with them, make fun with them especially when it comes being autistic. Every time we’re not seeing each other during weekends, I missed them, their jokes, their laugh everything about them. I’m lucky that God gave me this group that I can say my second family. I felt comfortable and happy with them. We experienced trouble such misunderstood sometimes we felt offended, but still we loved each other. We’re still solid until now. And I hope it will last forever. My wish for our class is that, we will be successful in our future, I know everybody wishing that, but from the bottom of my heart I do wishing that always to God. wavyou guys!!

atlast!!

This year Vj hunt was the best VJ Hunt ever produced. Vj Hunt was every year project by SAmaskom and organized by third year mass comm student. VJ Hunt was divided into two parts. It has Pair and solo category. WHen I was in first year college I already watched VJ Hunt and our class helped the third year student for the preparation of the event. I was amazed for the setting of the stage and I admired the third year that time because the idea of the event was creative and beautiful. When i stepped in second year, i witnessed the VJ Hunt again, we helped also the third year for the preparation, I still enjoyed in watching the event. Afterwards its our turn
to organized the event, we should do the way the third year did.

Gean decided to make this year event VJ Hunt different from the past years. He planned to invite high school students for the pair category rather chosing college students. He gave us task from different school to give an invitation. We did our assignments we went to our designated school. On the other hand Mar was the brain of the theme retro. She offered her idea and the good thing it was approved to ma'am Virgy. Mar also planned the designed of the stage, she made ideas on how the stage looked like a retro. So as a group we helped to set the stage according to the plan. We did our best to present well the event without the help of the other year mass comm.

Almost one week, we arrived early in school just to fix the needed props. We came home late just to have sleep. On the day event, the final day we arrived early to fix the stage. Time ran fast it was time for the VJ Hunt. The show already started, the audience started to scream, shout. Every noise I heard that time saying that the event was successful, I enjoyed watching the event and I'm proud at the same time. After show, i know for myself that the show was so good and thats it, but later on Gean annouced something about feedback from the event saying that the VJ Hunt was the best VJ Hunt ever produced and that was from ma'am virgy. We felt glad and I realized that we did the best among the VJ Hunt I've watched before. I am proud to say now that I am a part of the event and I'm proud also to my dear classmates.
