The CSB Experience: STAR Week

Mula pa June 4, may mga nangangampanya na sa loob ng bakuran ng CSB. Hindi ito mga kandidato para sa barangay elections. Ito’y mga reps ng mga orgs ng CSB. Grabe ang paraan nila para i-promote ang mga orgs nila as in grabeh! ANg mga orgs (nahahati sa mga Prof Orgs, Special Interest Orgs, Varsity, SAG, etc. )nga pala sa CSB ay ang mga sumusunod di lahat ay nadito:

  • Association of Information Management (AIM)
  • Art Link Student Organization (ALSO)
  • Blueprint (BP)
  • Computer Business Association (CBA)
  • Corps of Diplomats (COD)
  • Chefs in Progress (CHIP)
  • Export Management Society (EMS)
  • Hotel, Restaurant and Institution Management Society (HRIMS)
  • Hoteliers in Progress (HIP)
  • Human Resource Management Society (HRMS)
  • Industrial Design Society (IDS)
  • Junior Marketing Association (JMA)
  • Media Max (MMX)
  • Travelers in Progress (TRIP)
  • Computer Link (ComLink)
  • DLS-CSB Debate Society (DebSoc)
  • Greenergy (GNY)
  • Kino Eye (KE)
  • Music Network (MN)
  • Optic View (OV)
  • Societe et Cultura (SEC)
  • Cheering Team
  • Fencing Team
  • Samahang Kali Arnis ng Benilde
  • Women’s Football Team
  • Coro San Benildo
  • Dulaang Filipino
  • Footworks Dance Theater
  • Filipinescas Dance Company
  • Greenstage Theater Company

Hindi lahat nga lang nasa Plaza V, ung iba nasa halls ng college. Iba ang raket nila talaga. Just one time, nagkaroon ng mga hosts na upperclassmen at naghihikayat sa mga froshies na sumali sa mga orgs ng CSB. may mga gagagawan ang ginawa nbg ilang orgs. May nag-Iron Chef, may nag 대장금 a.k.a. 大長今, at may mga kumakanta pang kusinero.

Ang Pep Squad, mula pa last week nagrerecruit na ng members habang ang CSB Press Corps, mula pa lang Frosh orientation week ay naghahanap na ng mga bagong staffmembers.

So far, ang sin-ign up ko nang groups ay ang DebSoc (not the SJA Debating Society but the CSB Debate Society), ang MediaMax (the most preferred MMA affiliate org among the three sister orgs like Kino Eye). i’m planning on auditioning for the Press Corps as a feature writer or illustrator. I don’t havce much knowledge about Photoshop but i still prefer plain old drawing. I also have a knack for writing like this one. I already had lots of feature stories (mostly first-person) under my belt after taking Journalism in 4th year HS. Unfortuanetly, during my high school years (as if, i only graduated like 3 months ago!) I failed to get the coveted positions on our school publication VOX. So ifeel this is now my chance to show the writer in me.

I believe i have all what it takes to be a writer. although not as good as a news writer nor as more sports-oriented like a sports writer, beinga feature writer makes me feel like I can all relate the things I’m writing about, even if it’s not always have to be my personal accounts.

So far, S.T.A.R. (STudent Activities Recruitment) Week will contnue and will have another one by the end of the 2nd term this year (around September). Students van get acquianted  with the orgs during C-Break, the equivalent of La Salle Taft’s U-Break.

So pray to God that I hope I’ll be accepted by the groups i signed up with especially the CSB Press Corps.

“When She Left Me” willl be on a temporary hiatus. I’ll have the series resumed when i have the time to finish part 4 although I’m not sure where will the story go since I’m having a hard time placing the legalities of annulment which is the basis for my online novel. So to those have read the first three chpaters, bear with me.

The CSB Experience: Mag-S.Ex Tayo Tuwing Umaga, Tuwing Umaga….

    Yah, I know, the title seems kinda weird but it’s true, me and my blockmates all went to S.Ex. Sinangag Express, that is.

It’s a newly-opened restaurant just a few blocks away from CSb so it’s sort of a walking distance. They offer great, delicious yet very affordable food ranging from the mere tapsilog to the other variation of the silog family like hotsilog, longsilog, or whatever silog they may be. i assure you, you will only have 62 pesos taken out from your lunch money since it really is cheap. For that, S.Ex has become a favorite tambayan or hang-out place for any Lasalista or Benildean. You just have to make sure that you get there earlier since during C-Break, the place is jam-packed full of Lasalistas (and Benildeans). once there, you’ll be hearing the trademark Manila sound form their speakers and everything.

So what are you waiting for? MAG-S.Ex tayo!

The CSB Experience: Ang Mga Jamers ng DLS-CSB

Malaki ang gulat ko mula noong first day na di ko makikita ang karamihan ng mga kasamahan ko sa SJA na nasa CSB ngayon kasi magkaiba ang mga oras namin. So far a total of 11 Jamers (including an ex-Jamer) are composed of the froshies coming from Saint james Academy. Majority HRIM ang course, ilan ay MMA, may nag-Industrial Design, others: ewan ko na lang.

Here’s my partial and unofficial list of these Jamers from Batch 07:

  1. Angelica Punto
  2. Justin Santos
  3. Russel Plata
  4. Fred Dela Peña
  5. Maan DOmingo
  6. Liana Agbayani
  7. Joseph Alipo-on
  8. Nicky Aquino
  9. Alvin Santos
  10. Francis Calayag
  11. Caroline Santos
  12. Nikko Plata

I also saw an alumnus of SJA from Batch 05 or 06.

The CSB Experience: The First Day

    The first day of classes was pretty silent. I’m just saying since my class doesn’t start until 2:3- in the afternoon so all the enthusiasm was all received by the froshies who attend in the morning.

Before I arrived at CSB, I had to go to SM Valenzuela to bring back an item that I accidentally bought so right after that, i rode a jeep in McArthur Highway going en route to Monuemnto. I thought that it’s going to be straight but all of the sudden, it stopped somewhere in Marulas. It just so happen that the site where the Tullahan bridge is has now been totally blocked. So I decided to straight to where the Tullahan once stood. All’s going well, until I saw that a jeep was picking up passengers. Takwe note, al the jeeps there are lining up in the right side o the road so I thought a portion of the bridge is still intact and that I would be able to takle a ride and go there smnoothl. Apparently, I thought wrong, I have mistakenly took the wrong jeep as it began to head towards northbound to Malanday! Yeeeh, talk about crazy mistakes! I have to go back to where I was then and went back to the site of the bridge. There wss now a footbridge made for us to walk across the river.

Thank goodness, I saw throngs of jeep that are really heading towards Monumento. Too bad I’m already covered in sweat, I have to freshen myself a bit by using my face towel to rid my face, back and chest from all the sweat.

At past twelve, I arrived at the Monumento LRT station, waiting along with many other passengers. I took a while for us to get inside a train after one has been under test run. I arrived at the Vito cruz station at about 2 in the afternoon.

Well, I tok out my ID and swiped it on this white censor machine. Once inside, I don’t what else to do since I’m yet to know my way around CSB. Good thing, I saw one of my blockmates, Alex. We waited at the airport for our other blockmates. Eventually, all of us in DV1 have all met up in our room, M506.

Our first subject was FILIP11. We were given an hour long orientation by our professor, Mr. Santiago. Followed by our Philippine history, our prof. this time is very strict in terms on passing due assignments. Well, she’s fun really. Last was our NATSCA1, Human Factors in Design. We were greeted by a substitute since our real teacher had to do someting urgent.

It’s not really as energietic since it was in the afternoon after all. But the god thing is that I get to know some of my blockmates.

    of course there’s Alex, then Tina, Jico, Chris, Lance, Gibert, Pax, Issi, Marlon, Jisney. I still yet to memorized all the names of my other blockmates. but one things is for sure, almost all of them know what my anme is, JAMES. Kawawa ako, alam ko name nila, ako di pa. wah.

Well, there you have it! Until my next experience in CSB!
