December 17, 2010. UST Grounds. My third Paskuhan.

Paskuhan 2010 was good, but not better than last year. I was a bit disappointed with the delays and those corny, unnecessary but frequent interviews. I still had fun though, fireworks FTW.

It was quite boring, I'll admit. Comparing it to last year's celebration, this one's like a very ordinary occasion, nothing special. They invited only three celebrity guests, namely, Shalala, IC Mendoza and Sarah Geronimo. We were actually expecting a lot more because there were so many guests last year. The UST Yellow Jackets were also missing in action. A video performance of the UST Singers was also shown, but it would have been better if they performed live. Those interviews from the Main Bldg. were corny and unnecessary, really.

Dearest Santa, 
My mom lost her phone the other day. Please please send me the awesome Nokia C7 so I can give my phone to her. hehehe
Lovelots, Claum

Mom and I went to DFA last Tuesday to renew our passports and before we knew it, her phone was gone. It's either she dropped it or someone stole it. I feel really bad for her because important messages and contacts were there and I've also lost a cellphone before, so I know the feeling. :(

If Santa hears my call and sends me a Nokia C7, I would be the happiest person on earth. I can give my current phone to my mom because she badly needs one. Besides, she doesn't mind being the "secondhand user" to every cellphone that I owned in the past. I love you mom for that. :)

Why the Nokia C7? Simple. It suits me.

I'm a self-confessed Facebook and Twitter addict. With the Nokia C7, I can receive notifications, share my location and update my status directly on the home screen. What a convenient way to socialize!

I'm a blogger and a photographer-wannabe. I can't afford a Digital SLR camera, but thanks to that 8 megapixel camera, I can capture high-quality photos and videos and share all of 'em here in my blog.

I'm a gamer. The best gaming experience on a smartphone is viewed on a 3.5" high resolution full touch screen with amazing graphics and powerful sounds. Need I say more?

I'm insomniac. Well, not really.. I just can't sleep without reading a book or listening to my favorite songs. With the Nokia C7, I can read e-books and listen to music using the built-in music player and FM radio.

Oh Nokia C7, be mine. <3

Another year has passed. Indeed, time flies so fast. Many things happened in just a single year and we barely noticed that the year is coming to an end. There are only few hours left before the new year so I want to greet everyone a

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

May we forget those pain, hurt, sadness and all the bad things that happened in 2009. Let's start the year with great joy and fulfillment as we begin another journey of life. Have a safe new year celebration. Refrain from using firecrackers or you'll end up losing your fingers. hahaha :))

"I gotta feeling... that tonight's gonna be a good night."

This Black Eyed Peas song is applicable for almost every night before my Christmas break. Indeed, the Holiday season is not complete without Christmas parties.

Paskolar
Dec. 13 @ the Medicine Auditorium

All scholars are required to attend this annual event. The theme for this year's Christmas party/ General assembly is Paskolar: Scholars on the Move. We were asked to bring school supplies that we can donate for the children as a part of the Community Development activities.
During the program, we imitated ABS-CBN's Christmas station ID "Star ng Pasko". We held our cellphones up high while singing the song. The program is lively and fun because of the entertaining hosts and the games. It was unfortunate that I was not able to finish the program because I had to leave early.

Paskuhan Mass
Dec. 15 @ the Plaza Mayor

Before the mass, we went to Dapitan street to fetch some of our friends who are playing billiards. :)

The Paskuhan Mass is the first day of the 4-day celebration of the countdown to 2011. The mass started late and we were so hungry that after the mass  we rushed to our classmates who are holding our food stubs. It is by tradition that there is free food for the students during the Paskuhan. We went to the Shakey's booth because we were expecting some mojos but we were disappointed because the box contains only chicken and garlic bread. Anyway, we had so much fun because we had the chance to get together and forget schoolworks just for one moment.

Section 2-20 Christmas Party
Dec. 16 @ room 311 Eng'g. building

My first two wishes for Christmas are somehow "unreachable". So now let's go to the affordable ones.

Since the death of Francis M. and Pres. Cory Aquino, the country has been showing Filipino pride through clothing and fashion. Probably because these two people have shown passionate love for the country and inspired others to be patriotic as well.

Here are some that I really like:

Team Manila jackets and shirts:

Congratulations to my friends from the Engineering Sciences Dept. for winning this year's Carol Fest!

Watch the winning piece and join them in singing:


(Dapat kasali ako dito eh, pero buti nalang di na ko tumuloy kasi baka matalo pa pag andun ako. lol.)

Hello! I'm back! It's been 2 weeks since my last post. I was too lazy to post a new entry or even check my blog because of the start of classes. I'm in the afternoon class now and I also have an evening class. It really caused a major shift on my lifestyle and my mood as well.

I decided to continue my wish list because it's just a month away before Christmas and I still have no funds to buy a present for myself. I hope this would reach the North Pole. ;p

I love music, just like everyone. I play some instruments, but I'm not good at all. Both of my parents are music majors, so it's a shame if I can't even play do-re-mi. I listen to my favorite music through my computer, my cellphone or my iPod shuffle. My purple iPod shuffle was given to me as a graduation gift. Now I want a new gift, the new iPod Nano with video!

I only have less than two months to buy myself a gift this Christmas. I have a long list, that's why I have "money-making schemes" to help me buy these stuffs. At this point, I still need to work harder and spend lesser because I can't rely on Santa anymore. I remember those times when I wake up to see gifts on my bed or under the christmas tree. One time I received a Batman action figure. That was really on my wish list because I want action figures to pair up with my Barbie's, haha. Now that I already know who Santa really is, I do not receive gifts anymore, how sad. :(

Anyway, first thing on my list is a new cellphone. Years ago I can enumerate all phone models of Nokia, even its features and price on the market. Now, because of the rapid advancement in technology, I don't even know my mom's phone model. I have a Nokia N73 Music. I bought it 2 years ago and I told myself that I will never buy again until I graduate in College. But everything has changed, because my phone's not that good anymore. It is full of scratches and though it's still working, there are times that I encounter some problems regarding the phone memory.

Here comes tropical storm "Pepeng".
Here comes Christmas!

Manong Pepeng
The country is still in the process of recovering from "Ondoy" but the headlines deliver another sad news, another typhoon named "Pepeng". Seeing the aftermath of Ondoy alarmed me and made me realize that we have to do something to prevent this from happening again. According to the weather forecast, Pepeng may not give heavy rains as much as Ondoy but it will bring strong winds that could cause another damage to Luzon.
