IN THE MIGHTY GUBAT
Carpe Noctem (Seize the Night) - Year 2 - Starting Week #09
Background Music: Music from the movie Tatarin
NOTE: A Weekly post made before moving back into my Dorm in La Salle on Sunday nights.
THIS week we will perform again as a class for the Buwan ng Wika competition. If that doesn't sound tiring enough, there's the tasks of accomplishing interviews for Heraldo Filipino and for estabishing sure plans in the AB Comm Channel. Not to add that I'm very tired already.
I spent the past weekend at home with my mom and brother. My dad returned to the United States and he is currently in San Diego waiting to board an MSC ship. At home, we rented out [Tatarin] from Video City Tanza and I recorded the music of it. I mixed it with the intro to the "Tribal Music" of Matrix Reloaded. I hope my classmates like it, or can easily dance to the music I'm providing them.
So, Tatarin is our movie for the Parada ng Pelikula this Wednesday. I'm not entirely optimistic that we'll bag a top place. First of all, right now there's not a single sure choreographed step. But knowing my classmates and their talents, all the energy and efforts suddenly pop up at the end. That is something both Class President Teenah and I agreed on in a conversation a few months ago.
There's good news by the way. There are now four of us from JOU2-1 that are a part of the Heraldo Filipino! Jaclyn Kate Mamon joins us! We're now even with our JOU2-1 "representatives" for the Teatro Lasalliana. Ayesha is part of the Filipiniana Dance Company as well. Things are looking good right now for JOU2-1 despite the sudden slump of activities the past few months (with exception to this Wednesday).
I've been posted at the myDLSUD FORUMS the past few weeks. I haven't accumulated 50 posts yet which is the minimum limit before receiving a star. I started up the forum [BROADJOURN2-1 and COMPANY] and I'm hoping it can be a place we can interact with our other classmates and our other lasallites here in DasmariƱas.

Academics/JOU2-1. I know what I'm about to say is bad, but it's the truth. There seems to be no damn space for Academics this week!!! Ahhh. Basta, lectures and notes and whatever that I can squeeze into this hyperactive week. That's it. And results of grades and collection of research whenever and wherever possible.
Heraldo Filipino. The first week with the new staff! My classmate Kate Mamon and my dorm mate and friend Tom Wagan are now in the Heraldo Filipino as apprentice staff. I'm burstin' into tears of joy over here. This opens up a new chapter for our presence in the HF. On the other hand, it's very dirty... with all the interview slips to secure, create, get signed... and conduction of interviews... it's all very very messy. This is life as a News writer. And then there goes the La Salleno which is running beyond late already... we need to help Kuya Marthy. And of course, there goes the new DECRETO assignments from Kuya JD. And then the NEWS FEATURE with Eric Salta. It's like working for three different publications. Ahhhhh!
AB Comm Channel. I've missed like two to three meetings with them already, but my concept is still alive. Hahaha. In fact, I feel more flexible with the position that I can work with things. The concept that I have was for COM-TV and is about doing something similar to "The Osbournes" and it must have something to do with the Admin/Faculty.
Dormitory. I bought new plates, spoons, forks, and plastic cups! I'm happy now that I can stop eating using other people's utensils at the dorms. I barely eat there anyways, but you... if ever it happens. I also bought a new Bed Sheet and 2 Pillow cases... dark blue with the moon on them. And a brand new plushy pillow. Yep!
