Last sem was my worst but You made it somehow sweet

Marami na akong pinagsabihan sa mga kasama ko sa school na last semester was my WORST SEM EVER! AS IN! I can prove to you that it was really my worst stay in the university. A lot of reasons contribute to this statement. Partly because of emotional baggage, looking for the direction of my life and partly because of academic life. This is the first time that I felt I will get an INC in my grades. That's how ka-walang kwenta I was last sem. Pero I guess He has really better plans for me. He knows what's best for me and He is giving me more than enough reasons to stay strong and to be contented with what I have now.

I was really expecting nothing this semester which pulled my whole energy off because I was thinking that if ever I did not make it to US (or CS) sayang naman yung pagiging US ko last semester. But that was just second to my countless concerns because I was really anxious to know if i'll be able to get INC this time. THANK GOD, my intuitions are far lesser than His. I know to myself that I don't deserve anything at all with all my efforts and performance last sem. But then again He knows best. I'm just being thankful that He gave me this blessing. I am now making a promise to myself which I hope and pray I can live up to - All for His greater Glory! :)

Thanks! I am once Again University Scholar. I know that these are all just numbers and title. I still believe that it is still in our hands (with His guidance) whether we'll be successful in our future!

And at last! The long wait is over! my Prof in Geog 1 posted our grades - super long overdue! :) LOL. Thanks Ma'am for the grade!

Next mission - bracing myself for another sem and be better next time. :)

First major concert ever

Last October 22, 20011 - few days after my worst semester ever - our choir had its Thanks Giving Concert which was held at the EDSA Shrine Ortigas. This Thanks Giving Concert was made possible through the combined efforts of Blue Notes Family with their respective families as well. We had 12 songs for our repertoire - one of which (Tequilla samba) was rendered in response to the clamor of the audience who did not want to end the concert without us singing one last possible song. May the music never end - the theme song for this year's 20th Anniversary - was also part of the repertoire.

Here are the songs we offered:
Part one
Ave Maria
Ave Verum
Gabriel's Oboe
I'm Gonna Sing
Paraiso
In Paradisum

Part two
Runaway - Sopranos and Altos
Uptown Girl - Tenors and Basses
In the Still of the Night
Isang Linggong Pagibig
Change The World
May the Music Never End

Last: Tequilla Samba

The event was successful - my first ever concert. I just thank God that He allowed me to be part of this awesome choir. Despite all the dramas and issues lurking around the choir we still maintaine to be a FAMILY. We have different personalities with different identities - from professionals, young professionals to students - yet we still manage to understand and stir things up even during difficulties. Yes, we're not perfect but the bond and the friendship that we have established was just awesome. I cannot ask for more.

THANKS GUYS FOR MAKING MY SEMBREAK WORTHWHILE! YOU ARE THE BEST!
THANK YOU LORD FOR EVERYTHING! PRAISE YOU OH GOD! :)

Lazy Day

Today is such a lazy day. I woke up late. I watched a movie which I slept over after an hour. took a nap for two hours then do nonsense things. This is how my life is for today. Interesting? Isn't? I ate this meal at around 5 in the afternoon which serves as my early dinner but that really is my second meal of the day. Today is a no-errand day so I barely did nothing.

For the past week I have been busy working on my choir's agendas. We just had a concert last Saturday and the days prior to that concert were allotted for practices. After doing all these things I feel like I am having my second course which is MUSIC. Pero I guess its ok since I am learning new things about music. Anyway, this blog is super non sense. I just feel like writing a blog just to say that at least i did something fruitful today. (is writing a nonsense blog worthy for a day?)

Now im watching The Walking Dead. You might want to watch it with me. :)

ANIMO SAN BEDA

The last time I have watched a game was...i cant even remember when. But today was a different story. We, krizia and I, went to Araneta to watch the first game of San Beda against the 2009 title holder Golden Stags San Sebastian Recoletos. The place oozed with school pride as both schools cheer and jeer. Ayaw ko lang naman sa jeering ng San Beda eh yung "iskwater" part e. That was just so below the belt. but anyway, I know that it's just part of the game. I just have to live with that. We met also Vanessa and Emily, my highshool friends, who happened to be there to watch the said game. I missed them a lot. Perfect time to catch things up. Ngayon ko lang nalaman that Vanessa transfered to another school and changed her course to HRM from Interior Design. This shocked me the most because this means that I am the only one in our batch who takes this kind of course. It saddens me a lot but I cant do anything about that. Part of life.

Krizia and me

Emily and Vanessa.

Vanessa and Me.

Araneta was indeed flooded with sea of red but it was all worthwhile because winning the first game was just awesome. Second game? Animo San Beda beat baste or Animo baste beat San Beda? Ano bang mas magandang pakinggan? :)

Roots and we nailed it

What a great way to end this semester. by the way, this is my best sem ever (sarcasm at its best).
