Cheermania! by SOCC

Last friday, our block didn't have classes due to some of us who were excused for the Bounce Cheermania, an intercollege cheerdance competition showcasing the seven colleges of the university. Among the list are Commerce, Arki, Cfad, AB, Educ, ITHRM, and the HS.

It was a tiresome pratice prior to the event but then, it was really a blast. We were their Pep boosters which was only an add-up to the group and we were the first to perform. After it, a feeling of misery and contempt for our part because we didn't deliver what was practised the way it was expected. But thanks to the ates and the kuyas for their being nice to us despite of what had happened. Then, we watched the other colleges immediately after the said performance.

Announcing the special winners are: The Best SOCC (Student Organizational Coordinating Council) Cheer for the Cfad, The Best in Costume for the HS, and the Best Parade Gimmick for the Commerce. We don't know if it is actually a co-incidence but those who won the major prize were also the colleges who won the special prize which were the 2nd placer-Cfad, 1st placer-Commerce and the Champion-HS. The group were actually aiming for a Champion this year (last yr they've won also the 1st place and the Champion was the HS)--what happened was sort of a repeat if you may think so but the hard work and all the concerted efforts paid off. They have brought again glory to the College. Cool. =P

It was them who made it. Hats off for winning it again and Congrats. =P Cool.

World Pyro Olympics

This is a late post. It will be a week by Jan. 20 of 2007 when we've seen the fireworks display of Philippines and China, which was the last installment, at MOA.

Pretty late did I arrive at Moa due to heavy traffic. It was 9pm then when I got there. Cielo, Je, and Gracia arrived early at around 8pm. They went there all together and unfortunate for me because my brother won't allow me to go if I didn't eat my dinner at home. Let's just think of the brighter side which is I will be able to save money for good. Ha ha! Anyway, back to what I was talking about. I really got stuck after the toll gate at coastal. My travel time from there to Moa was almost an hour, exaggerated it may be but true. Imagine, that was very tiring just waiting alone ( at partida nakatayo pa ng 1 hour sa bus) to arrive there. =( Actually, I didn't get to enjoy the first part of the Pyrolympics because I was alone watching. I got no company and was quite far to where my friends are which was beside the hypermart--I was at the Macapagal highway, iniside a jeepney specifically when the show almost started. My bad, I know (I'm late.) Plus, the network even get lagged? (very unlucky) That's the consequence, man. aagghhhh! But after all those unfortunate events, I laughed my stomach out in between the presentation of the two countries. Goodness! All that chat and the warp pictures taken during the interval were very comical, if only you can see them. (Cielo, upload mo na sa multiply mo ung mga warp picures na un, haha!)

In the course of China's turn for presentation, when I actually get the chance to see up close the fireworks, you could hear people of all ages uttering expressions such as "aww...., wow...., and cool..!" in their state of excitement and amusement. After the said event, we already want to go home but it was even harder for us because the line at the Shuttle was very long so we walk all they way to the intersection at front of San Juan De Dios. Lucky for me that I saw a bus going to Cavite but then again, no seat available. =/ When I finally got home, it was only then that Cielo texted me that they just took a cab because buses are too full to accomodate--Gracia and Je decided that they'll sleep over at Cielo's for safety purposes because it was almost 2 at dawn. It was also the time that the news announced that the UK have won the Pyro. China also bagged a special pize concerning with the technicality.

The Aftermath of Pacquiao's Victory

It's been more than a month since Manny Pacquiao, had won his 3rd match-up against Erik Morales. Pacquiao's victory affected our country's politicians. Among the list was Chavit Singson. He went to Las Vegas just to watch it live as a sign of his moral support to him. Looking to it deeply, it's not actually a necessity for him to go and support Pacquiao personally. Do you ever wonder why politicians use Pacquiao as kind of a medium? It is merely because of Manny's great influence to all of us that's why they use him to channel their agendas for our country. Not only Chavit Singson does this, even Mayor Lito Atienza's son, Ali Atienza, who will campaign for this year's election tags along with Manny during the motorcade. Another one was Congressman Miles Roces who drove Pacquiao's Porsche to the Quiapo Church after the Manila motorcade. See that? Politicians like them use Pacquiao just to attract the masses thinking that doing such could possibly help them win this year's election.

This is very rampant as of the start of this year. In respect to the Black Nazarene and the devout politicians to the Saint--streamers, tarpaulins and other paraphernalias are scattered over the metro just for running candidates themselves will be known to the public. They sort of took advantage of the feast. Nothing can be done by the Comelec, because no such law is appropriate to prohibit the running candidates for this type of an early campaign. Let's just see what will happen for the next few weeks on how they will make use of every way possible to be made known to the public.

Happy Feast Day to the Black Nazarene.

Twins' 18th Birthday! Cool.
