Nothing can stop me from partying and enjoying the Quadri week, even flu. I've been suffering from sore throat, colds, muscle pains and headache for more than a week now. But I couldn't just stay at home and rest, because I want to attend the activities and enjoy the one-week celebration of UST's 400th birthday.

Wednesday. January 26, 2011. The Q Parade.

Our classes were suspended so we could join the parade or watch the Cheermania. More than half of the class chose to join the parade, including me. There were colorful floats and students in costumes. It was actually more than just a parade, I call it parade-procession-rally-marathon. We walked from UST to Mendiola and back to UST. There are times that we have to run, then stop, then walk again. We were waving and shouting "EN-GI-NEE-RING." It was so much fun.

We passed by other schools like FEU and UE. The Tamaraws and the Red Warriors were watching us, some were even waving and shouting with us. The parade lasted for more than an hour. I was very tired and my feet were hurt. But still we all enjoyed it and we all thought it was a great experience.

"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.
