The CSB Experience: Ang Mga Taga DV1




Yah DV1!

A JL Habitan Production

The Despedido of My Future Kiwi-Accented Atenista Ninong




My ninong is a true Blue Eagle. It's just so sad that him and his family will be emigrating to New Zealand in search for greener pastures (not just a milk from Anchor). So here are pics of him during last June 9th's despedido at the Discovery Suites and on Tierra Pura Homes). Yah, my ninong's the guy in yellow.

Sometimes, you don't have to be green than be blue. Why not try blue for once?

The CSB Experience: The Upperclassperson Who Snubbed Me

    It's a pun from an Austin Powers movie with the subtitle :"The Guy Who Shagged Me". It's true, an upperclassman of CSb had snubbed me on one of the four halls of The College.

    Here's what happened: I was walking along with my Ordev-A professor for whcih he's going to give me some copies of the yellow Ordev forms at the Office of Multidisciplinary Studies at Duerr Hall. Along the way, I chanced upon one of the few upperclasspeople that I know. Just before I came to CSB, I already knew some people there. It [the upperclassperson] is one of the people who gave me the map of guidance in orfer for me not to get lost inside the four halls of CSB. So i decided to greet it with a smile, literally.

    It was walking just on our way so I decided to greet it with a smile and a hand gesture saying "Hello!". That smile that I just made was broken when the guy only saw me with no reaction whatsoever. Its eyes look as if they're saying that "Who's that guy and why is he smiling at me?". If you know the feeling of being snubbed, ther you know how it feels to be snubbed like that. The upperclassperson just ignored my greeting went on its way.

You know, an act like that can really hurt a person, even if you now that the person who snubbed you actually knows you so there's should be no reason that it didn't recognized me for we had already met severral times that's why right now I'm sobbing.

I only wish that the upperclassperson would know who is the one I'm talking about. I'll tell you if it already read this blog entry of mine.

The CSB Experience: STAR Week

Mula pa June 4, may mga nangangampanya na sa loob ng bakuran ng CSB. Hindi ito mga kandidato para sa barangay elections. Ito'y mga reps ng mga orgs ng CSB. Grabe ang paraan nila para i-promote ang mga orgs nila as in grabeh! ANg mga orgs (nahahati sa mga Prof Orgs, Special Interest Orgs, Varsity, SAG, etc. )nga pala sa CSB ay ang mga sumusunod di lahat ay nadito:
  • Association of Information Management (AIM)
  • Art Link Student Organization (ALSO)
  • Blueprint (BP)
  • Computer Business Association (CBA)
  • Corps of Diplomats (COD)
  • Chefs in Progress (CHIP)
  • Export Management Society (EMS)
  • Hotel, Restaurant and Institution Management Society (HRIMS)
  • Hoteliers in Progress (HIP)
  • Human Resource Management Society (HRMS)
  • Industrial Design Society (IDS)
  • Junior Marketing Association (JMA)
  • Media Max (MMX)
  • Travelers in Progress (TRIP)
  • Computer Link (ComLink)
  • DLS-CSB Debate Society (DebSoc)
  • Greenergy (GNY)
  • Kino Eye (KE)
  • Music Network (MN)
  • Optic View (OV)
  • Societe et Cultura (SEC)
  • Cheering Team
  • Fencing Team
  • Samahang Kali Arnis ng Benilde
  • Women's Football Team
  • Coro San Benildo
  • Dulaang Filipino
  • Footworks Dance Theater
  • Filipinescas Dance Company
  • Greenstage Theater Company
Hindi lahat nga lang nasa Plaza V, ung iba nasa halls ng college. Iba ang raket nila talaga. Just one time, nagkaroon ng mga hosts na upperclassmen at naghihikayat sa mga froshies na sumali sa mga orgs ng CSB. may mga gagagawan ang ginawa nbg ilang orgs. May nag-Iron Chef, may nag 대장금 a.k.a. 大長今, at may mga kumakanta pang kusinero.

Ang Pep Squad, mula pa last week nagrerecruit na ng members habang ang CSB Press Corps, mula pa lang Frosh orientation week ay naghahanap na ng mga bagong staffmembers.

So far, ang sin-ign up ko nang groups ay ang DebSoc (not the SJA Debating Society but the CSB Debate Society), ang MediaMax (the most preferred MMA affiliate org among the three sister orgs like Kino Eye). i'm planning on auditioning for the Press Corps as a feature writer or illustrator. I don't havce much knowledge about Photoshop but i still prefer plain old drawing. I also have a knack for writing like this one. I already had lots of feature stories (mostly first-person) under my belt after taking Journalism in 4th year HS. Unfortuanetly, during my high school years (as if, i only graduated like 3 months ago!)
I failed to get the coveted positions on our school publication VOX. So ifeel this is now my chance to show the writer in me.

I believe i have all what it takes to be a writer. although not as good as a news writer nor as more sports-oriented like a sports writer, beinga feature writer makes me feel like I can all relate the things I'm writing about, even if it's not always have to be my personal accounts.

So far, S.T.A.R. (STudent Activities Recruitment) Week will contnue and will have another one by the end of the 2nd term this year (around September). Students van get acquianted  with the orgs during C-Break, the equivalent of La Salle Taft's U-Break.

So pray to God that I hope I'll be accepted by the groups i signed up with especially the CSB Press Corps.
------------
"When She Left Me" willl be on a temporary hiatus. I'll have the series resumed when i have the time to finish part 4 although I'm not sure where will the story go since I'm having a hard time placing the legalities of annulment which is the basis for my online novel. So to those have read the first three chpaters, bear with me.

The CSB Experience: Mag-S.Ex Tayo Tuwing Umaga, Tuwing Umaga....

    Yah, I know, the title seems kinda weird but it's true, me and my blockmates all went to S.Ex. Sinangag Express, that is.

It's a newly-opened restaurant just a few blocks away from CSb so it's sort of a walking distance. They offer great, delicious yet very affordable food ranging from the mere tapsilog to the other variation of the silog family like hotsilog, longsilog, or whatever silog they may be. i assure you, you will only have 62 pesos taken out from your lunch money since it really is cheap. For that, S.Ex has become a favorite tambayan or hang-out place for any Lasalista or Benildean. You just have to make sure that you get there earlier since during C-Break, the place is jam-packed full of Lasalistas (and Benildeans). once there, you'll be hearing the trademark Manila sound form their speakers and everything.

So what are you waiting for? MAG-S.Ex tayo!
