MUSIC

In its 30^th anniversary, UP Circle of Industrial Engineering Majors (CIEM) hosted “Jam in Time,” last November 17 (Friday, 7pm), at the Bahay ng Alumni, UP Diliman. The concert featured 6 Cycle Mind, Updharmadown, Giniling Festival, Fuse, Bluecheese and other bands about the campus.

The event really sounds like something big, 97.1 DJ’s were even there, and were emcees of the program. The concert was also aired in their radio station at around 9:00pm and 12:00am.

Guess what, I got in for free!! Haha! Minutes before the concert, my roommate Ramil rushed in our room and flushed in front of me two free tickets! Haha! I was kinda lazy then, but I started putting on some decent clothes as soon as “6 Cycle Mind” caught my eye on the ticket. We hurried to the dormitory lobby to sign our late permits. After minutes of Ramil’s disgust on a student leader, we arrived at the venue. There’s no competition on the view at all. Hehehe! Ramil was even picking on the blemishes of the vocalists on their faces. I got to see BLUECHEESE! Hahaha! I really enjoyed the voice of their female singer, so round and so powerful! And of course, the bands that I look up to, Up Dharma Down and 6 Cycle Mind, really made it.

It’s one of my frustrations, singing. Back in high school, there are many people who sing better than I do, chaining me in the background. But that doesn’t keep me from loving music. Now, even my academic load won’t hinder me from enjoying what I really want to do. I like music as it is, and not what it brings, all else is just a bonus.

One hour from now, I’m gonna be one year older, but before this day would end, Happy Birthday to my buddy, MARC MILAN PEREZ!!

Lights. Camera. Action!

I just received my copy of our ERG batch ’04’s Enchanted Kingdom Escapade pictures, thanks to Amos! I could still hear the screams and shouts reverberating. It’s just so sad that not everyone came. Well, it’s their loss now, haha, they didn’t experience October 22^nd the way we did! Who could have been the fifteenth in this slate? Let the pictures make you envious with what you’ve missed! Fwahahahahah!

AND MORE PICTURES!!

"Instant Ayos!"

Cris: "..."
JC : "Konti na lang!!"
RA : "Yan ang akala mo!"
Tin: "Wala akong pakialam! Ang saya! Panalo ako!!"

RA: "Langit ka! Lupa ako!"

Bahay-bahayan

We think of happy JCthoughts!

Cris: "I need happy tots!"

I want to post more pictures, but its very difficult. I hope blogspot would support easy posting of pictures. Everytime I want to add a picture, wherever the cursor is, it is always inserted at the beginning. Darn it!

"It makes me shiver!"

I can’t believe what I had done! I just pushed an add matriculation for a BA 101 subject that met two sessions already. And guess what, do you know who my professor is? Look to the right, it's just the University of the Philippines President, that’s all!

The fear-factor episode started when I was feeling guilty that I, after accomplishing my registration, had an ideal schedule, ideal schedule to sleep. Imagine this, during Tuesdays and Fridays, I supposedly had a 4:00 to 6:00 pm class, and that’s all. I could sleep the whole day and just wait until the clock strikes four til I leave my sanctuary. I’m just not so use to it.

And here comes the hours of chattering with my roommate Ramil. The topic went to my guilt and had me convinced mailing the Dr. Emerlinda Roman to admit me in her BA 101 class. That was like 8pm, November 15th. I waited for a response til 1:00 am, but it end up vanquishing my hopes in thin air.

The next day, my persistence began aflame again. The thought won’t leave my head. After lunch, I checked my mail using Mark’s laptop at the 3^rd floor QZ in the department. My eyes became bright at the sight. I just received a reply from the UP president, and she let me in her class. A thread of mail made my mission impossible possible.

I couldn’t forget my knees shaking the moment I stepped on the Office of the President, and still, they won’t stop, because tomorrow is yet another day, my first day in room BA 303.

COME WHAT MAY!

RANDOM

Life is just too unpredictable. Nobody can really tell what’s ahead. It may sound cliché but I had digested it as a principle.

Yesterday and today, regular registration in UP Diliman blew the impatient heads of enrollees. The heat is rising, not solely because of the burning noon heat, but also because of the crowd that restrains a five-inch-thick breathing space. I hardly forget the experience. Though it reiterates every semester, the routine just never fails to remind the feeling that never fails to irritate. What irritating reiteration?!?! I went to NIGS around eight in the morning, and guess what?!? I waited there for five hours just for nothing. They are telling us to line up without considering if there is something to queue for. The petition list we signed up for disappeared in thin air. We even ate our lunch there, but everything is one big crap. I should have known!!

Unpredictable. Even myself is very unpredictable. Nobody from my grade school and even in my high school ever expected that I’ll be like this… Better see the pictures for yourself… Fwahahahaha!

Boolagaah!
