The CSB Experience 2: The Second Day (and the Shocking Thing of the Day!)

    This time marks the return of a 9:40-11:10 morning class for me in the form of Oralcom Lab every Thursday. Then my first C-Break follows up in a duartion of an hour and 50 minutes. I decided to eat at the SDA Caf for lunch and later went to Room A1008 to do some photoshopping (which I wasn’t able to fnish on time because there is a succeeding class taking a supposedly freeslot-only A1008 later that afternoon).

    At 1pm, I have my first take on Cathwor. I’m classmates with some Philoma people like Bobby J, 2 from Filip13 in the form of Gino and Rej, a few from Comski like Kim, and of course DV1 guy Raymond in a shocking if not a very controversial hairdo…

    A second C-Break comes after, just an hour and half long so I passed the while away with some reading and browsing at the LRC back at Main.

    20 minutes before my next class would start, I went straight to Rm. M508. I hanged out just outside the room and suddenly came from nowhere is a very familiar face….Just guess who he/she is…..

    That person I just saw was with a group, probably a barkada of the person. They were also making “tambay” outside of a room fronting m508. When we were finally allowed to get inside the room, the barkada went at the very far right wing of the classroom. Along with us came my other classmates in Philien who were also making tambay somewhere out there.

    Okay…guess who’s my professor in Philien is…….:drumroll:……Miss Leo Astete of Comsk1x fame! Yahoo! So i know what to expect then heheheh.

    Okay, I’m uber jubilant now expecially that I’m classmates with the most unthinkable people that I could never had imagined being classmates with: Bianca King and Serena Dalrymple (Even if the former I’d only get to see once a week and the other twice)!

The CSB Experience 2: The First Day

     The first day of classes is the exact opposite of what I had last year: NOISY! Apart from the frosh people swarming the campus in circles, left-to-right, go-in-between; the Green Peppers welcmed the first day with a warm welcome cheer.

    My first class is HARTDS1, a three-hour class every Wednesday in SDA Bldg.. My prof there is nice but she musn’t be provoked by a noisy class. DV1 classmates are Inna, Gens, Nikko, Mikee, Carlo, and Gilbert plus some ex-classmates from PETRIID and COMSK2x . We were grouped into three and I ended up with Genesis and a Korean classmate named Hyun-Ho.

    C-Break came, and there goes a sense of dejavu: Frosh people crowding them in front of the LRC chatting with newly-met blockmates and everything.I spent my 2 and a half hour break sleeping inside a hut at Plaza V aka Bora. I left Main for SDA around quarter to 2.

    Next in line was JoseRiz and was surprised to see Tina (Tiz), Czarlene (Ciz), and Sheena plus Franzi (Frenzy).

    After that I hurriedly went down back in Main for Oralcom…2 ex-classmates from Filip are there: Ronald and Chona with Franzi, Tiz, Ciz, and Jiz (Jisney) plus Hoogie.

    Hoogie and I went to SDA for our last subject: Basicom (Mr. San Diego’s lessons relearned). Just as I was entering the elevator from the ground floor up, I didn’t seem to notice Hoogie and disappeared (He mwould reappear at around 6 pm).

    I opened the door of the classroom and the first person I saw (and she was looking at me) was none other than BIANCA KING!! AGHHH! AND I SEATED RIGHT NEXT TO HER!!

    To make the long story short: She, Hoogie and I formed a group for a 4-part project in Basicom! Cool! “Masipag ka ba?” “Medyo”

    Never mind if it was raining outside, never mind if from now on I’ll be paying my jeep fare expensive by 2 quarter pesos. For all I care, I have the best day ever!

The CSB Experience 2: Handa para sa Pasukan

    Ilang araw na lang, pasukan na! Excited na ako sobra kung kaya habang maaga pa lang eh hinahanda ko na sarili ko.

    Bumili ako ng bagong bag at bagong notebook. Ayoko na gamitin iyung luma kong bag kasi 1)magtu-two and a half years na siya at medyo nalalakihan ako sa bag na yon, at 2) Hirap linisin. Iyung baili ko namang notebok actually mga Cattleya fillers sila compiled in one book, one for every subject na kukunin ko. Hindi na ako bibili ng malaking notebook kasi kumakain siya sa space sa bag ko at maraming empty pages ang natitira afer one term so sayang talaga.

    Pangalawang paghahanda: Paggugupit….Nung sabado nagpagupit na ako kahit nagbabadya ang bagyo. Bukod dun pinaahit ko na rin ung bigote ko…matagal-tagal na rin nung huling beses na inahit ko ito nung third year. Kagustuhan na rin ng mga taong nakapligid sa’kin sa school na iahit ko na ito so pinagbigyan ko na sila although hindi ko muna padadalasin ang pagaahit, na-iinsecure ata ako sa bigote ko eh…

    Malapit na uli ang pasukan sa kitakits na lang!

The Summer Experience: As Summer Ends, So Does Bmat2-x (Muntik nang ma-R!)

    Thank goodness, after several weeks trying to learn topics from Simple Interest to Sinking Funds, I’d be able to finally give closure to BMAT2-x. But why oh why must I forgot all what I’ve learned in this very important finals test! If not for having half of the total number of items correct in the finals I wouldn’t have made a grade of 1 which is one point away from incurring an R (whcih means I failed and I have to repeat it, hence the “R”).

    At least that’s for BMAT2-x which makes up 70% of my grade. I got to know what my grade in Lab earlier, a 1 too (73 at least).

    Tomorrow is judgement day, be getting my course card to see if I make it…

The Summer Experience: Where We Leave, They Enter (The Froshes of 108 Story)

    Waghh! It’s that time of the year now wherein I see a lot of incoming froshes coming into CSB with (and without) their parents and guardians, circling around the campus, swarming every corner, confused, and not knowing a thing of getting their way around. What’s worse is that: IT”S NOT US!

    Waghhh! With the onset of the peak enrollment season, I realized that “Hey! I’m a college sophomore!” and so does the rest of my 107 people. But then again, it’s better that way than being held back for one totally long year.

    Like they say, “When it rains it pours”….literally! MAY showers suddenly poured on the day of the enrollment for froshes and it has been like that for almost 2 weeks now (in an inconsistent kind of way).

    Tomorrow, I’ll be in school to have myself enrolled for the upcoming school year which will start on the 21st. Thank goodness there’s no tuition fee increase or else, my insurance will bleed out dry. Speaking of insurance, no thanks for the people behind my educational plan and for the fact that CSB’s a trimestral school, my mom is going tom pay for my tuition via check. Good thing, we’ll be paid by the insurance company hwegh heheh!

    Oh yeah! Speaking of tomorrow, next week will be my last week in BMAT summer class up until the 16th. I sure learned a lot from Simple Interest to Ammortization. Next week, our last lesson would be about Sinking Funds.

    Back to the topic, I see  many of the froshes haven’t had their orientations yet so good luck for them and I hope they’d be able not to encounter the problems that many of us 107 experienced. Most especially, for us 107 MMA people who really had it bigtime with the people from the way up (Think MMA Y! Groups scandal).

    Although common problems like “I don’t know this?”, “What should we do?”, “Can you do this for us?”, “Eeww!”, etc. would still be around; I hope many of the 108 people would well-aware of what they’ll encounter next school year.

SEE YOU GUYS IN LESS THAN 12 DAYS!

The Road to BRIGHT LIGHTS

this is way way late…Anyway, this has been a very meaningful experience for me since it’s he first time I was part of these kind of event no matter how small my participation is to it.

We’ve been planning this since around middle of 2nd term and it was almost close of not having Bright Lights at all. I was one of the people responsible of getting sponsors for Bright Lights. I somehow got two big-time names to sponsor but they backed out at the last minute (ironically one of them sponsored a major event with similar details)

I would like to thank all of the people involved in Bright Lights as well as to the participants and the attendees no matter how few you are when you came that night. One of the models, Kerwinn, didn’t showed up at the calltime so he was dismissed by the organizers (he had classes that time). Willard was surprisingly one of the models who’s gonna run the runway so he and theothers got tips on how to model with attitude).

Sorry if some of the pics are a bit blurry, I can’t get a good shot with the digicam that I was using.

Until next year!

The Summer Experience: So Sick

    Argh! It’s been less than a week since summer vacation started and not even close of a week since I started attending summer class for Bmat2x, I suddenly got hit with what could be the most unexpected thing one might never had in the summer: being sick with fever. Yeah, I got summer fever, hehehe. It’s been exactly a week since I had that.

    Earlier in the morning I already have a bad case of the cold, coughing like crazy. By the time I got home, I felt a bit weezy. My eyes feel a bit warm but I’m still sweating. It was only at around dinnertime did I felt really sick. That’s when I realized that I was having a fever. I quickly change to wear a thick sweater for me to sweat. I had trouble watching TV after that.

    I had a basin of water in my room where I could make “punas” on myself to cool my head of. I spent the night trying to sleep at the couch instead of my bed. I woke up early the next morning and later went back to sleep at my own bed.

    I seem to have feverish illusions whenever I am sick as I think of outwardly things that comes out from my mind. Weird.

    Although I feel a bit better, I still try to limit myself from watching TV too long for I might suffer a regression. I was at least able to watch this old anime being reaired on TV, Mga Munting Pangarap ni Romeo (Romeo no Aoi Sora/Romeo’s Blue Sky) and it is already ending its run by tomorrow Friday (May 2). So it’s a good thing that I was at least able to watch one of the highlights of the series.

Good thing by Saturday early morning I got better so I was able to go to school. Too bad though as I still feel a bit dazed so I got that woozy feeling when I took a ride in the LRT. Waaghh!
