Ang school ko nasa Manila Bulletin!

The 15th of December 1978 marked the birth of the sole state university in the Region XI. On this date, Batas Pambansa Blg. 12 was passed, thereby, creating the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHEASTERN PHILIPPINES.

HUMBLE BEGINNINGS

The University of Southeastern Philippines (USEP) became operational in 1979 integrating the four state institutions in the region: the Mindanao State University-Davao Branch (MSUDB), the University of the Philippines Master of Management Program in Davao (UPMMPD), the Davao School of Arts and Trades (DSAT) and the Davao National Regional Agricultural School (DNRAS). The integration of these institutions paved the way for the birth of the five USEP campuses namely: the Davao City main campus in Obrero with an area of 6.5 hectares; the Mintal campus, Davao City that has an area of 2.8 hectares; the Tagum campus, Tagum City with a 77-hectare land area; the Mabini campus which lies in a 109-hectare land area in Mampising, Mabini, Compostela Valley Province; and the latest addition, Bislig campus in Bislig City, Surigao del Sur with an area of 9.7 hectares.

The early years saw birth of the College of Engineering and Technology in Obrero campus, the College of Forestry and Agriculture at Tagum and Mabini campuses and College of Arts and Sciences in Mintal campus. The succeeding years witnessed developments in the academic and administrative realms of USEP.
In 1993, through a Board of Regents (BOR) resolution, External Studies Programs were established. These were: USEP-Hinatuan Ext. Program in Surigao del Sur; USEP-Baganga External Studies Program in Davao Oriental; USEP-Kapalong College of Agricultural Technology and Entrepreneurship and USEP-Pantukan External Studies Program.

[::] Musta?! o bat hanggang tenga yata ngiti natin ngayon?! hehe. (wag kayong mag-alala, pareho tayo!! woohoo!! :)

Right before inannounce yung winner for best group, tinanong ko si Rico kung anong award yung gusto niyang makuha namin if ever isa lang ang makukuha natin. Pareho kami ng gusto - Favorite Group. Tapos, tingin naman ako kay mike... sabi niya sa akin "pare, ang bilis ng puso ko.." sabay ngiti, sabi ko naman "hehe, ako rin.." Tapos ayun na, paglitaw nung pangalan ng banda sa dambuhalang envelope nasira ang poise naming lahat! Alam niyo yung parang naging slow-motion bigla ang mundo... hindi ka maniniwalang nangyayari.. tapos kailangan mo kaagad isipin kung sino ang pasasalamatan mo? Ganon mismo. Ay siyempre, with matching tears of Joy ni Ate Flor!! Haay, yon ang highlight ng gabi namin :D

As usual, kagulo nanaman kami sa pagtanggap ng award... ganyan yata talaga pag na-overwhelm ka. Ang dami mong gustong sabihin pero ang konti lang ng oras.

Tapos punta kami sa dressing room sandali.. then balik sa upuan namin... Favorite Song category na pala. Totoo lang, solb na kaming lahat sa Favorite Group award.. winning the Favorite Song award was really something we did not expect. Kala nga namin ni Mike si Kitchie mananalo... pero yon nga... tayo daw ulit :) Si Rico nasa back stage non at si Japs naman ay bumibili ng inumin sa labas kaya tinginan muna kami ni Mike, kala namin kaming dalawa lang aakyat... Tapos ayun na, humabol yung dalawa. Nakakatawa pa nga kwento ni Japs kasi may nag-congratulate daw sa kanya sa labas, akala niya para sa Favorite Group, tapos sabi nung bumati sa kanya Favorite Song daw.. ayun napatakbo siya bigla! :) Sobrang taranta, hindi nga niya napansin na katabi namin si Onyok... nalaman nalang niya nung nasa van na kami, paalis ng Araneta. hehe.

Again, we'd like to dedicate the Favorite Song award to our friend Wilfrid 'Wolfmann' Hernandez. God Bless you bro!

Once again id like to say 'thank you' to all of you... ilang taon niyo na kaming binubuhay, alam niyo ba yon? Sana makarating sa lahat ng kaibigan niyo ang pasasalamat namin, lalo na yung mga hindi nakakapag-internet... nasa malalayong lugar... at minsan sa TV lang kami napapanood. As ive said before, panalo kami sa inyo, walang tatalo sa inyo :D Thank you for going out of your way. Yan ang kulang sa bansa natin ngayon.. people who go out of their way, and you guys are the best example. :)

Gusto ko pa sanang habaan kaso nandiyan na si Ate Flor sa labas at hindi pa ako nagbibihis! hala! Sayang, postponed yung RTU gig due to bad weather. Dadaan kami sa Anniv party ng RX sa Dish ABS, tapos sisilipin namin yung dalawang videos na in the works (Sunday Driving & Atat). To be released very very soon.. ang saya no? dami na nating videos :)

Sige, post ako ulit... bihis muna ako. :)Uy, 70s Bistro sa Monday ha? tapos Capones sa Wednesday... celebrate tayo! :)

Ingat kayo... God Bless!

As soon as we recieved the award i wanted to post a message here to tell each and everyone of you "THANK YOU". grabe you should've seen us when we recieved the award. I was at the backstage with roll when the people of MTV called and shouted we won. takbo kami eh!!!! hehehe we never expected anything when we came there thats why it was so sweet when we won.

guys i want to thank you for all the support you gave us! Alam ko you guys went out of your way just to vote, all the efforts you made alam ko na hassle kayo, yung iba gumastos pa, yung iba nangulit pa nang kaibigan para bumoto... yung iba nagimbento pa nang e-mail para makarami nang boto... kulang na kulang ang thank you sa lahat nang ginawa nyo and we love you for that.

OMG! it's Farah's birthday and only had the chance to greet her 1230. Wala akong load kaya natagalan but better late than never. Hindi na xa nagreply kasi baka busy na rin yun sya sa work at of course baka busy ang phone kakausap sa honey nya. ;-)

Hindi ko naremind ang mga KOKO friends ko kasi hindi ako nakaOL, pero nakitext ako sa officemate ko at natext ko si Dingdong. Tamang-tama lang pala at nagtext ako kasi muntikan na niyang makalimutan. Sa sobrang busy nga naman ng tao. 0_o

So far my day was good! Walang hassle!

Kagabi pumunta ako sa huling araw ng lamay ng former barangay captain namin na namatay last August 14 kasi nabunggo ng isang sasakyan. Kainis kasi nagbrown-out at ang lakas ng ulan. nakauwi na kami ni mama ng 2200.

Ngayong umaga umattend na rin kami sa burial rites. Grabeh ang laki ng pamilya nya at infairness hindi matatawaran ang nagawa nya sa lugar namin. I never thought na mas matagal na pala siyang nagsilbi sa lugar namin, mas matagal pa kaysa kay marcos! Imagine that! he was the one responsible kung bakit ganito ang lugar namin ngayon. Siya ang nagpagawa ng lahat ng makikita nyong infrastracture sa lugar namin. From schools, chapel, market and covered court. Kaya lang minsan may ugali talaga tayong hindi maiiwasan, kaya nga hindi rin natin maiiwasan na may nagkakasamaan ng loob. We're only humans who can feel! Kaya saan man po kayo ngayon, salamat, patawad, at hindi po kayo makakalimutan!

I received a text from Dimple and Rhei about sa result ng case nila Hero. After 2 or 3 months pa before ang resolution. sadness :'(

A continuation on my last post...this is kinda long...

~_~Rivermaya moments~_~

Nagkita na kami ni Sybil mga 1830 nagkita rin pala sila ni Eileen, my HS classmate, manood pala ang brother nya ng Rivermaya rin. I'm still with Dimple kaso hindi siya manonood ng concert kaya around 2030 umuwi na siya at kami ni Sybil pumasok na sa venue ng concert with Sybil in her official Grounder t-shirt. Ang ticket na nabili namin ay for general admission kaya ang layo namin sa stage. I know the idea broke my sister's heart. The show just started meaning we have to listen pa to the front acts, Back by Midnight at Eric Gancio (vocals ng old band Yano). Actually astig ng BBM, all girls, naaliw ako sa music line nla, hard rock! Astig ng boses ng vocals nila, namiss ko na kasi manood ng live band na ganoon ang music. Naalala ko tuloy ang Slapshock moments ko. :-) Lalo na nung tumugtog cla ng Systems of a Down naalala ko ang college life ko! You rock guys! I enjoy your set kahit sakit na ng paa ko kakatayo! :-D

After their set, may door prizes pala sabi pa ni Sybil, "don't worry ate mananalo tayo. Ano ba mga ticket numbers natin?" Check ko naman, nyaaayyy ang aga pala natin bumili nga tickets, 00086 at 00087. The first award was called. Nung sinabi ng emcee na ang second ticket number is 00086 sabi ni Sybil ulit, "Ako yun Sarz?" hahaha tawa ako ng tawa kasi nanalo si Sybil ng oven toaster! hahaha Pagkatapos nya makuha yung award nya sabi nya hindi na lng sya lalabas at naiwan ako doon sa general admission :'( huhuhu Naghanap kami ng paraan para ako makapasok. Danray, Eileen's brother, was supposed to be with Father Lando kaya baka ako pwde makihitch. Ng malaman namin na hindi na matutuloy si Father Lando, binenta daw nila ang ticket nila at gagamitin nila ang complimentary ticket. Yun! I had a plan in mind at ginawa namin yun ni Sybil with Danray's help. hahaha Less than a minute, nasa VIP section na kami! Saya!

Okay to cut my long story short, pupunta na sana kami ng CR ni Sybil ng makita ko c Ate Flor, road manager ng Maya, at sunod sunod ng dumating ang apat na nakaitim! waaaahhhh ang Rivermaya dumating na! Sayang lang talaga at hindi digital ang dala kung camera kung hindi sana may pictures na with them. Sa backstage kami ulit dumaan at nilapitan ko c Ate Flor ang tanga ko lang kasi sinabi ko na grounder din po from Davao, eh hindi ko nasabi name ko at si Sybil na nakaground shirt eh nauna! Sayang! Pinatapos lang nila ang Yano sa pagkanta nila ng kanilang set at sasabak na ang Mayas! Hindi ko na binilang kung ilang songs iyon basta marami. Astig lang ng intro nila sa 214. Amazing talaga magdala ni MikeE ng gitara! The best din mag-drums ni Mark wow! Si birthday boy Japs lakas at ang gwapo pa rin! At syempre si Rico na binaba talaga ang crowd kaya tayuan agad ang audience. Si Sybil ayon ang saya-saya kasi nakita nila Japs, Mark at Mike ang shirt nya at naacknowledge siya. Siya pa ang naging tulay ng ibang fans ng RM na hindi pa alam ang names nila Japs at Mike. Saya talaga ni sister! Susunod na ang mga pictures....

~_~Advance Birthday party ni Farah~_~

Around 1230mn na natapos ang concert kaya nagtaxi na kami ni Sybil papunta sa bahay ni Farah. Tulog na si Norlan at Luv2x sayang hindi tuloy kami nakapag-usap tsk tsk. Hindi pala dumating sila Richard, Dingdong, Glenn at Venus. Buti na lang nakaattend c Feb (George's long lost friend :-D) Nakipag-inuman pa si George, Chem at Farah sa kanya. Lowbat na ang lahat kaya around 0230 eh natulog na kami.

Kainis talaga itong si Norlan nagising tuloy ako ng maaga! Buti na lang din at good mood kasi hindi nagalit at sobrang late ko dumating. Nagpapagising pala siya kapag dumating na ako dahil pala maaga ang plano nilang umalis. May exam si Luv2x ng 0800 sa Tagum pero iyon sa kapaguran eh 0600 na sila nagising at nakipagkwentuhan pa hahaha ito talagang si Norlan/George/Feb eh hindi pa rin matigil and pag-utot. Palagi na lang ito. Kumbaga trademark na iyan ng KOKO na kapag umaga pinapalanghap sa iba ang mabahong hangin na naipon nila sa magdamag! I missed them so much! It's been a long while when we used to hang around a lot, as in a LOT! I missed my drinking moments with them when my alcohol tolerance plus my capacity to sleep as short as 30minutes. Those were the days my friends!

We have no definite plans yet later this afternoon that's why we just talk and talk and sleep and talk. Guess who was their hotseat this time. ME! Binalikan na naman nila ang issue namin! Haaay I wanted it to stop and I thought tapos na nga talaga and this time put a closure on it. Pero grabeh pa rin makakantyaw si George. Mantakin mong balikan ba daw ang nangyari last May of 2003. Nyaaay ang tagal na nun! Panahon na sana daw iyon pero pinalampas ko. :-D Sa totoo lang this is my first time to finally come out of my cocoon..joke! First time ko lang talaga inamin and once and for all na I DID, gusto ko siya fine, kakahiya kasi andun pa si Sybil. Denial talaga ako when it comes to that topic pero this time strong na ako para e-fez ang reality. At takot lang naman talaga ako ng rejection, na kahit pa man nagdedeny ako eh feeling ko rejected na ako. drama ba? ;-) Later i found out na nahotseat na rin pala siya noong last time na nagsleep over kami kina Farah. Mabalik ako doon sa May 2003 issue, actually aware na ako nun na nagbabalak kaya nga hesitant ako magstay pa kasi alam ko na ang mga pangyayari, gawain ko rin yan noh! Hinde ko alam pano ako magrereact when I was told by Jibai, our common friend, na he did ask opinion about courting a very close friend. Nakakatuwa naman very flaterring to know na boto sila sa loveteam namin! According to Farah, Dayang knew about it but I doubt it. Bumabalik pa rin ang aking fear about rejection na baka hindi ako matanggap ng family nya, though alam na ni Ate Weng (his older siter) at Rose (his cousin). Pero bakit ba ngayon pa ito naglalabasan lahat? Ngayon pa na I had given up on him and decided to close our book. (But according to George, we can always open a new book! You really amuse me George!) Ang hirap na kasi ng situation namin ngayon, we have our own priorities. We don't even bother to drop message to each other kahit isang click lang yan sa cellphone namin. Hindi ko nga pala alam ano na gamit nyang number ngayon ang dami na kasi. Promise, nasaktan na ako maraming beses sa kanya at siguro nagmature na ako kasasaktan. Martyr na nga ako kung tutuusin eh, harap-harapan na nga eh pero smile pa rin ako. Hindi niya siguro alam ito kasi sa tuwing nagkakasama kami hindi nya nafefeel ang sakit na dama ko. Grabeh ang haba na ng litanya ko. I should have this on another topic pero part ito ng nangyari eh kaya dito na lang xa. PS. todo build up si Farah sa amin dalawa kasi nagseselos si Erwin kay Dingdong. hahaha tingnan ko lang. ;-)

Setting: Doon pa rin sa bahay nila Farah, pagkatapos namin pag-usapan ang pangyayari sa aming barkada nilaro namin ang 500 pieces jigsaw puzzle ni Farah. nagsimula siguro kami nga mga 0900. Grabeh ang sakit na sa mata pero nakakaadik talaga ang puzzle. Isa isa ng naligo kami pero hindi pa rin natitigil ang pagsosolve. Ayaw na nga iwan kahit kakain na ng lunch! Si Norlan nagtext, nagtatanong saan ba daw ang gimik kasi si RG nasa SM isa sa mga workmen ng isang activity doon. Pero wala pa ring definite plans eh. Enjoy kami lahat sa puzzle!

Nagtext si Ate Ems if andun ba daw kami ni Dimple sa SM. Naku mas worthwhile pa ang ginagawa namin kaysa sa mga nangyayari doon. Sayang talaga kasi sana magkikita at magkakasama na sana kami sa backstage if ever natuloy si Hero. We could have bonded more pero okay lang yan Ate Ems, Dimple at Hero hindi pa siguro ito ang tamang panahon na magsasama tayo. Dahil kung andito kayo, ang long story na ito ay hindi sana ganito ang theme. All of these are happenning because it has its own purpose. Patience is a Virtue!

Mga 1700 na kami magdecide na umalis at pumunta ng Victoria Plaza. Manonood sana kami ng sine pero parang makakatulog lang ako doon. Hindi na talaga nakakaya ng katawan ko. Ang baba na ng tolerance ko sa mga ganitong gimikan. Pang 24hours na lang siguro ako. Nasanay na kasi ako na 2200 eh tulog na ako at gumigising the next day ng 0630. Manood sana kami ng concert ng Southborder at ni Barbie Almabis pero tila uulan kaya we decided we call it a night na and thanks to Farah for her advance party! Papauwi na kami na makasalubong namin ang mga kapatid ko at pinagbawalan na hindi na manonood ng concert dahil baka nga umulan at umuwi na lang.

Home sweet home! My mama just arrived home too. All of my body is aching and in my deep sleep immediately!

I'm not feeling well! Pero kailangan na maging malakas kasi ang dami kung appointments! :-D

I arrived late sa usapan namin ni Shawty, now sa Lobby Lounge ng Marco Polo Hotel. There I met Shawty, of course, Nicole and Jerry. Kasama ko rin c Hermie. Lakad lang sa labas kasi may Indak2x contest. Grabeh ang init! Para kaming nililitson! hahaha Later we decided sa PTA Grounds kami meron kasing Agro Trade show doon. Nakabili ako ng earring! hahaha first time ko tinanggal ang fave kung earring. ;-) Lakad, tingin, lakad, tingin, lakad, tingin, bili. hehehe After a very tiring walk nag-Halo-halo kami ang sarap ng ice! Usap usap na lang muna kami at ang sarap kakwentuhan ni Shawty at Nicole, two thumbs up guys at salamat sa company!

Around 2:30 I think nagpaalam na kami ni Dimple kasi may e-meet pa kaming iba. I received a text from Sybil na ililibre nya daw ako sa Rivermaya concert later this evening. waaaaahhh astig mo sister! While waiting for my sister and killing the time kami ni Dimple palakad-lakad lang kami sa NCCC Mall. Actually we both are depressed kasi ito na sana yung time na pinakahihintay namin. Kasi supposed to be kasama c Hero ngayon sa mga visitors haaaayyyy sadness to the max :'(

SaRZie

Today's supposed to be a non-working holiday dito sa Davao dahil Kadayawan na. Pero nire-schedule ng company namin to have it na lang tomorrow kaya ito work. :'(

Hindi ko alam pano mafit ang schedule ko tomorrow ;-) pero I know makakaya ko ito hahaha. BisDak, Hermie and KOKO. See you all tomorrow! Nagpaalam na rin ako kay Mama about this.

I had a short talk with Mymy sabi nya confirm daw ang Cueshe sa September 10 sa The Venue, 150-200 ang ticket at Hale sa October 28. Hindi lang siya sure kung Venue ang maghahandle ng Hale or baka iba at baka din daw exclusive gig ito. Sana nga open to public ito at magbabayad talaga ako ng ticket kahit magkano pa! Of course Hale na yan! Nainvite ko rin siya about a sleep over kina Farah tomorrow pero hindi pa nya alam kasi manood daw sila ng Nyoy&Nina.

I had a massage today kasi ang sakit na talaga ng likod at right hand ko dahil siguro the way I use my computer mouse. Nakakangalay at na-eexert ako ng force at alam nyo pano ang law ng gravity, basta PHYSICS! :-D

Nagtext c shawty 0011 kami magkikita tomorrow sa I love sushi sa SM.

SaRZie

Dapat sana may gimik ulit kami tonight kaso wala akong gana at parang pagod ako kaya hindi na rin tinuloy nila Jezel ang night out. :'(

Nakachat ko c shawty, ayeza and some of the other bisaya bloggers. Feeling close ako agad sa kanila at ang friendly nila for sure. ;-) Nang-e-invite c shawty na umattend ako sa birthday party ng pinsan nya para makapag-usap kami for Saturday's eb. Pero hindi rin ako pumunta kasi nga kacacancel ko lang sa gimick ng classmates ko. :'(

Pagkatapos ng office eh umuwi na ako sa bahay at nanuod lang ng tv. Right to Royalty sa MTV.

11th month na ni Papa sa Heaven at miss na miss na namin siya. Sana satisfied siya of what I am doing to our family.

Nag-absent ako sa work pra sabayan si Kresta sa aming Alma Mater (USEP) pra kunin namin ang kanyang dimploma at TOR. Lunch time na din kaming natapos kaya nilibre nya ako. Later we decided na gumimik na diretso with college classmates. Drop nya muna ako sa PWC pra makipagkita kay Hermie din later magkikita na lang kami sa Kuya Eds. Pagdating namin dun, nakita namin agad ang ATO girls, Analou, Ressie at Jusmin. Coincidentally nagkita kami ni Loida, doon pala nagcelebrate ng birthday si Sony. (Schoolmate in USEP na dating kasamahan ni Loida, classmate in HS, sa Nokia). What a small world talaga! While waiting for my other classmates and Kresta chumichika na lng muna kay Loida at konti kay Sony na busy sa pag-entertain ng kanyang mga bisita. Pagdating nila Jezel at Leah nauna na kaming kumain kahit wala pa c Kresta.

Enjoy talaga ako kapag kasama ko ang mga taong ito! Kainis lang din kasi wala ng naiwan sa mga boys namin. Si Johnny umuwi sa kanila dahil nag-aalaga sya sa Mama nya na may sakit at si Francis naman eh simula ng magkagirlfriend uli eh bumalik sa dating buhay, according to Leah. :-D Kakaenjoy talaga at namiss ko sila kahit pa may text. Salamat pala talaga kay Kresta sa libre at sa uulitin! Yung mga pictures pala eh wala pang naeemail maski isa kaya to follow na lng!

my day started with a slight headache. i went to work but not feeling well really. was it all because i will be seeing hale this evening? tell me? around 2pm, i think, they guested on KB89.1, sponsored radio station. I didn't heared it all but my officemates relayed that Champ knows and understands bisaya "Gamay lang kaayo. Kasabot ko ug bisaya pero mag-istorya gamay lang kaayo" (Just a little. I undestand bisaya but knew some little to speak of words), something like that. He was born anyway here in Davao. Then, around 430pm I received a text from Ate Leah, "Sarz, andito sa SM ang Hale, daming tao!" wow! I decided not to come to SM because I know lots of people will be coming but save the best this evening.

After work, I went home, getting ready and left. Arrived 6pm and had dinner with Sybil and Dimple. Marian arrived then when Arlene and Francis came it rained very hard. Oh! what a night! The venue (Blue Post 2) was an opened area. We/I don't want to missed the moment, so when it stop pouring really hard, we walked to the venue already, there were crowds already, good thing we bought our tickets 3 days ago. When we entered all the chairs with big umbrellas over them were taken and just took all the drenched chairs and just a few steps from the stage. The rain started to poured on very hard, people started to opened their umbrellas. It was still 8pm and Hale will start around 10pm or so. The emcees, one stupid gay (i don't know his name) and nina reid (who had the weirdest slang accent) and and frontact band (girl vocalist with a big voice) nevermind. It started to irritates me, me and my friend, almost soaked with rain so we decided to left our space and headed to a place we won't be drenched more. When I felt its almost time for Hale's set, I knew we have to come back to our place and so I did with my sister. (Hermie left already and had not glimpse on any of the band members). When people at the back started to scream, I know they're there already so I ready my camera. I missed Sheldon who passed very quickly and so with Omnie. Then it was Roll, i had a shot but he put his hand on his face so its worthless :'( Eventhough it was raining, I have to stay at one side to that I could take a picture of Champ and when I did this is the thing I got


Okay to cut the long gap between what happen, i'll start again when they started to climbed up the stage. The people started to scream again! waaahhhh. They were tuning up the gadgets and people keeps on shouting! I cannot blame them for I am too shouting! :) Champ thanked us because depsite the rain and all, we stayed. But of course!

They started with Take No, then Runaway, Wishing, Blue Sky, Broken Sonnet then they cover Yellow of Coldplay. By the time they sung Blue Sky, the rain started to poured down again but we never left our places we just took our umbrellas on. The remaining songs were Kung Mawala Ka, The day you said goodnight and lastly Kahit Pa. Of course the crowd sung with Hale! When Champ said that it will be there last song, people cried for more but I know the time is up and too much of something is bad. People started to go home already. I wanted to go to the Hotel like what we did with my Hero last time but it was late already, the lobby is dark already so I said to myself it was a wet and wild night.

here are some of the pictures I had, well enjoy!

it's so irritating talking to an old man saying bad manners will never have bad karma but only those who fooled other people.

i encountered this stupid old man who keeps on calling our 2 landlines then just drop it dead when you said your greetings. or even if he talks to you, he will shout out "stupid!". isn't that irritating when early in the morning and you just started working? i just heard that he is taking his law board exam and can you imagine that telephone manners he is doing to us. would you allow a soon-to-be lawyer (if he will pass since it his second time) with that attitude to handle your case? will you better think again.

we accept our faults but his attitude doesn't?

i wasn't able to watch mymp's gig at The Venue because 1 week ago the tickets were sold out! Good thing Arlene and Francis was able to buy that already purchased 2 tickets because the buyer backout in attending. I tried calling Mymy but sad to say she doesn't have it too! What I had in mind was to subscribe again to globe's nonstoptxt and talked to both of them during the gig.

What happen was:

approx 1800 txt arlene wazzup?
replied, she was still at home and getting ready.

approx 1930 they were with the crowd already lining up to go inside the venue.
they were at the back of the long line, as in loooong line.

approx 2000 they were inside the place already and at the second floor, near the billiard tables.
stepping into the tables to get a closer view of the stage below. :'(

by the time they started, arlene ran out with load, so i said listen very well so that she can sing it to me when we see each other again. hahaha no pictures because the batteries wasn't charge and its useless because the stage were too far from them. Juris and Chin would looked ants! hahaha

how worthwhile unli nowadays?

when my sister texted me that globe now offers 15/day unlimited texting, i told myself, will i grab this offer? thinking i am not into textmates but only needs it when i am meeting friends and cannot afford to buy prepaid cards this days, i said, later maybe if i need it. knowing i have still that minimum amount to subscribe, i tried. and nothing worthy topic to text, forwarded messages was my game! i forwarded some if not almost all of my stored messages in my inbox to all of my co-globe users.

later, i received a text from my college classmate/friend, Vimberly, that she too is unlimited. Now my 24-hour subcription is worthy because I was able to know updates about her. I thought she will be here in Davao for good but she's back in Manila now. She told me also she's still with Rustjohn and going stronger. Rustjohn made it big in Manila too, he just came back from Malaysia for a seminar or some sort and now soon to be assigned in the USA. Vimberly said maybe end of this year or early next year. They are planning to tie the knot before he left for the USA. Wow! Remembering the times in college with how they both ended up with each other, the moments with them both at the IC Local Council, Rustjohn (Auditor) and I (Vice-Governor) hold office. The first time Vimberly was badly broken hearted by that stupid guy and slapped him in front of us. hahaha The first time i was told that Rustjohn courted her. Oh those times, i missed those times!

so much with my dramas, I wish them both happiness and beautiful babies! kita kits tayo sa Amerika Vim and RJ!

the long wait is over for today is the day! me and my high school classmates were invited to Leah's son, Karle Gabriel, first birthday.

I (2 minutes late) met up with Beverly (as usual) at Merco around 5:02pm and later decided to wait for Ariel (5 minutes late), Ernest (10-15 minutes late), Mylene (who arrived unexpextedly, coz she thought were going the other way, 20 minutes) and Eileen (i think an hour late). Beverly was about to lose her temper buti na lang napigilan ko.

We arrived 6:30pm at andun na cla Grace, Ofelia (after her wedding last April, who didn't invite us) and Chebelle (who for the longest time hindi ko nakita). So ayon the party just started with games for the children and Mommy Leah was still busy with the children and the other guests. While waiting, chikka muna ang mga missed people. First time in the history na hindi kami nakaimik nila Bebs, Mylene, Ariel at Ernest kasi naman ang lahat ng present eh mga registered teachers and they were discussing their own world and we cannot relate. :) So when around 8pm Loida and Benedict arrived na basang sisiw kasi ang lakas ng ulan nabuhay na din kami!

After they have eaten, picture-picturan na, ang busy pa rin ni Leah kasi nagpapatulog na siya kay Gabb. wala nga akong picture ni Gabb kasi antok na at ayaw humiwalay kay Mommy. Kaya ask nlng ako ng copy ng pictures kay Beverly during our first visit sa house nila Leah. Some of the pictures are here:





(in between while waiting for everybody to arrive. Ariel brought this special game cube I loved to play, the ruvic's cube. i tried solving it and found out on the third layer i forgot the combination to come out a cross pattern. i didn't force myself yet because later, little did I know, Ariel lend me the cube. Now I can practice on my own to refresh my mind on the formula and solution of it.!)
