Homecoming 2008: the chronicle

This year, Batch 1998 was the sponsor last night at the homecoming (my mom said homecomings are held after 10 years of a particular batch). Anyway, the homecoming is open to all batches so it was also a way to meet up old friends.

I met up with my BFF Mikki at VBH while waiting for her buds LokoPo. From VBH, we met up her buds at the Engineering Bldg (sorry, I don't know what's its name. ^^;;).

Once at the venue, we registered. We got an alumni mag, La Salle-printed necklace and our stubs for raffle and FOOD! I was a bit surprised and so does Alain and the others, as there was only one box for resume dropping.

Moving on, we went inside ULS and found there were blinking lights already, a dance floor, a stage and other guests at their seats. My BFF was a hot item that night as there were people coming up to her and commended her suggestion last year that professors should be around too at the homecoming. Because of that, I found one of my favorite professors there last night.

They gave an Outstanding Award to Marian Rivera, my sempai. But she was not around at that time. Other awardees include the current mayor of Dasma, Cavite and the congressman of Batangas, 4th district. All of them made DLSU-D proud. The Outstanding Award is the highest award an alumni can receive. gee, I want to receive that too soon.

Anyway, it was a breathe of new air as batches from 2004 and up were more visible this year. Mikki commented that this year's homecoming has a lot of attendees compared to the previous ones.

Food was great. ^_^ And thank goodness, there's COKE ZERO. I have to admit I'm addicted to it.

We stayed for an hour or so since there was a raffle. Well, most of us were in vain as our group didn't win any prize.

Once outside at ULS, my BFF and I parted ways. Alain, Levy and I stayed at ULS for a photoshoot love. Can you blame us?! The night and the dim lights were perfect.

From ULS, we walked towards gate 1. Yeah, it was so dark aside from the lighted pathway. Three of us were walking and got to talk about life, death, occult and the supernatural. Alain played some Bleach songs too which got us more in the mood. hehe...

Once we reached the east campus, we saw the fountain at the church as active. Again, another photoshoot. There's a kerropi / frog i mean, at the fountain. Good thing it didn't jumped on us or else it would definitely cause ruckus. XD

After the photoshoot, we chilled at the church side and got to talk a lot of topics. I got to know more about Alain and Levy than the usual things they post on their blogs.
It was a breather, those two made me feel that I'm still young. I found myself being talkative again. yipee~ Most of the time, I wanted to grow up so fast and do a lot of things. I'm in my early 20s but the burn-out feeling can make one feel as if it's 70 already!

We learned that the people we meet in school will eventually have a counterpart once we started working or in whatever field that we are in.

We savor the chilly air when we heard the bell rang. Then got up and started walking to our destination- home.

HEY! Shorty, It's Your B-day!

Aside from our name, our birthdate makes us also unique in a way.
It's interesting to see which famous people/celebrities and even fictional characters who shares the same date or even astrological sign!
An excuse for affiliation. Nevertheless, it's entertaining.


Reese Witherspoon, Sarah Jessica Parker, Mariah Carey, Fergie, Kate Hudson and Jackie Chan (i like him and his movies!) shares the same sign with me.

As an anime enthusiast, I was delighted to know Yoshitaka Amano and Megumi Hayashibara
are co-Arians.


On the 3D side, Sakura Kinomoto (CCS), Kurapika (HxH), Ryuichi Sakuma (Gravitation), Shuichi Shindou (Gravitation-today),Hotohori (Fushigi Yuugi), Son Goku (Gensomaden) and even Hanamichi Sakuragi (Slam Dunk) are Arians too. For Yami no Matsuei fans, today it's Watari's B-day!


There a lot more to tell but why don't you join in my silliness too in checking your own affiliation thru birthdates/sun signs.

The Good Ol' Days- Japanese music at local airwaves

I don't know how many of you can remember or even relate the song- Feel Like Dance by Globe.
Thank goodness that Jmusic incorporates Engrish in the lyrics. Actually, I have managed to find the title and the band recently due to youtube and google (marvelous!). This came out like I was in grade school.(okay, no guessing of age)
And it was being played in the local airwaves like Pizzicato Five.
For a flashback of Globe, see it here.

Haha, if someone would use this say in an anime convention or sort, I think us, thunderbirds will be somewhat happy to hear this song.
Feel like dance~~~

STAY AWAY

These days, Haruhi Suzumiya dance is undeniably still infectious.
Even our Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center in the Philippines-tachi couldn't resist it too.
You may not see me under a full trance of Haruism.
But I can't deny that I turn like a hamster to a wheel to Laruku's STAY AWAY dance. See 3:32.


I received a text that L'arc En Ciel will have a concert at Hong Kong this May 17.
-sigh- Despite that HK is near and the ticket seems affordable (only 5K when converted).
Problem is I don't have a frickkin' passport!
My mother was supposed to process it for me as a birthday gift but I was lazy to prepare the requirements. lol.
Oh well.. I guess I've to be contented seeing them in videos.
I'll just going to contact Hyde and the gang for my wedding.
Add Gackt too (I hope he'll be around with the stag party. woot~) ^_^.

GLOMP ME!

After four days of stay in Cebu, I found out more about the bustling city. Actually, we were in the city proper most of the time so it felt like Manila. Actually, we had jokes running in what areas can we compare the things we see in Cebu vs. Manila. Like there's a mini-Makati, mini-Alabang, mini-Tondo and such. Wala lang MRT/LRT!


The hotel that we stayed was so GORGEOUS! and the service is SUPERB!
Our room had a bath tub which I appreciated even more. wee~ Of course, I had a warm bath after our arrival. Problem came in the evening as I find myself not being able to sleep tight.
In Filipino, you call it namamahay. Or adjusting to a place.
I was namamahay mode up until the night before our flight.


I was on a business trip so we didn't have much time to roam around Cebu.
And yes, I regret not seeing those genki Cebu detention dance group. They had a show last Saturday. Argh! Badtrip. I had a meeting then. I mean c'mon would you take a someone seriously, say a Manager like me who'd reason out that I'm going to skip the engage just because of my fascination in their Haruhi dance? Lol. I doubt.


Save for the Magellan's cross, Viva Sto. Niño church and the famous pasalubong stopover- Tabuan, as they called it. At least, I manage to be in those places. The tradition of Cebuanos waiving at the Sto. Niño's statue is interesting. ^_^
And I found out from the locals that this was the very 1st Sto. Niño in the Philippines. Wayback Legazpi's time.


I will upload the pics soon.
I haven't noticed it until now but it's already April!
My bday's coming up. aw...
