The CSB Experience: Experiencing AKIC

    CSB has three campuses in total: the Taft Campus, the SDA Building and of course, the Angelo King International Center a.k.a. AKIC Campus. Now, AKIC is CSB's 2nd oldest structure and usually it houses not just the classrooms for SHRIM students (as the SDA Building is for SDA students), it also houses the CSB Hotel where the students of SHRIM (School of Hotel, Restaurant and Institution Management) do their practicum (I presume).

    Now, a couple of weeks ago, driven by my curiosity about the campus, I decided to tour myself inside. Too bad, the walking distance between the Taft Campus and the AKIC (Estrada St.) is longer as compared to that from the SDA to Taft (in Pablo Ocampo St.). As I arrived, I asked some of the DO at the front where the student entrance was. They directed me to go on the building's right side. And there you have it, the student entrance. Although, there are other entrances to go inside the AKIC, these are for hotel purposes so there's that.

    First stop is the AKIC's LRC. Well, it not a walk in the park since I easily got lost by how I was clueless on going my way. I heard there was a Cafe at the top most floor but since it's Friday evening, they're closed for the weekend. Beside the LRC extension was a hallway leading to the classrooms of the SHRIM students, many clad in uniform (thank heavens, the SDA don't require us to do the same!).

    Next stop was the Weights Room which is practically new since it was opened very recently. At first I don't know where I'm going and found myself at the parking garage of the CSB Hotel which occupies about half of the AKIC by looking how muc space it occupies in each floor. Actually the Weights Room was at the other side of the parking garage inside the Third Floor. Hehehe, talk about sweating while walking just to get there!

    Though, I haven't explored much of the AKIC, I'll be expecting myself to visit the campus more often in the near future.

The Long Tell Then The Long Tale

(Gert in front of the residence of the apothecary, sitting on a bench)

Gert: Oh, I really have to settle the matter. (He stands up, looking confused and saw a journeyman walking towards the door)...Oh Mr. Journeyman (suprised, he tried to run away from Gert). The Apothecary's Journeyman?! (He grabbed the journeyman's arm and brought him near the bench) May I have a word with you?
Journeyman: Your humble servant, Master Gert. Are you going to the house?
Journeyman: Yes, I was to speak to the beautiful lady. Are you really the apothecary's journeyman? I haven't seen you there so long.
Journeyman: I've only helped here for a week. For 9 years, I'm in Harslev at a chemist shop.
Gert: (surprised) Oh! really? You know Harlev? I know that place indeed! That was when I went to Kiel. I was with the best hatter in Jutland. Mind you every hat I wore was a creation of him. We tried our luck in Kiel, believing that money will grow easily in that place. You need not to work unlike in other places because people of Kiel pay plenty (Journeyman tried to say "Oh, monsieur" several times while Gert's speaking) which is more than enough for one person. There's a good value in that city! And let me tell you the prices of food! A half penny for a pound of the best pork that any man would dream.......Uhm....
Jm: Oh, Monsour (or monsieur) it would take long if I let you finish...

(he leaves but Gett grabbed his hand and drag him to the bench)

Gt: Next, only a farthing for a pound of beef...
Jm: Pardon me master, but I don't have the time to listen to all of this! (he tyried and was grabbed then dragged)
Gt: Fourth, a lubeck half penny for twenty eggs...
Jm: I do not have anything to do with those eggs, butter and pork!
(You know the rest)
Gt: A quar of French brabdy for....Oh!! Don't be impatient mosier. Well I leave that one and go on with my journey. We were traveling in the road, blah, blah................
(Master Gert continued his long tale of adventure and journey in Keil and made the journeyman fall asleep...Until...)

Gt: Oh!! I'm again forgetting my errand!
(He trips on the JOurneyman's foot, the journeyman wakes up and run away)
Gt: I must speak to the lady! I must knock, I must knock.

(He went to the door and knock it with a "BANG! BANG! BANG!" sound. And someone opened the door. Who could it be. Stay tuned to the next exciting yet funny yet dramatic chapter of our long tale ala story! Bye!!)

And remember, say FISH!

Dumating Ang Bida sa Wakas!!

(Just as the Apothecary ahd left, pumasok kaagad si Gert at nakita niyang umails na ito sa likuran ng chemist shop, kaya he went cole to his mother to ask "why".)


Gert: why did the apothecary go off so quickly mother?
Guinild: (shouting) Hearkee my child. the man thinks we're having a joke with him. You know that it's over two months since the match has been settled and arranged. And all taht is left is to talk to that girl herself. But one day after another goes by with your comfounded chattering mouth that is not worth to pence (note: The word pence is the name origin of the worde penny).
Gert: Mum, my trips and journeys are very significant! If you let me go overthe whole journey again quickly--- (Guinild interrupts)
Guinild: Oh! Go to Jericho with your errand! And say right out what it is that you want and you don't! That we can call it off at once! Be off now!!

The Apothecary Meets the Loud Mouthed Mother

(At the Chemist shop, there enter the apothecary Gilbert along with a maid which is not Pernille and a very lowly servant)

Gilbert:Hearkee fellows! Make sure that everything is in order for the doctors would would be here anytime now! I believe they would inspect the shop this afternoon. I expect the Gin and Brandy (aka Smooth Sweet Clear) are good, they won't bother much about anything else. In that way Dr. Herman had inspected my shop ten years ago!! Blah!! Blah!!

Guinlid: I'M SO GLAD I FOUND YOU!!
Gilbert: Aah!!! Santissima!! What are you doing here Guinlid!! (Making a sign of the cross in fear).
Guinlid: I have a notion to talk to you.
Gilbert: A notion? I've said over and over that I like the idea of being a father-in-law. You had promise your son would be there to settle the matter. He does come! But bringing a different topic as he chat and jabbers on into the night. I've seen no one courting in that manner all the time in my whole disembodied life! I'm not going to be made a fool no longer! If he wants to meet my daughter, he has to put an end to it! Did I just make myself clear, loud-mouthed woman?
Guinild: He'll do it! I swear he will! You know Mr. Apothecary, it is not that he is cold; he's just too much in love with the young lady.
Gilbert: If that's the case, why didn't he propose instead of telling tales of horror to her?
Guinild: Today, he swore he would settle it. I promise!
Gilbert: And hope to die?
Guinild:If it is possible.
Gilbert: That would be great. My daughter would be home. I've no time to attend to him. Adieu but let him come at once.
Guinild: Yes, he will come. he will come all right. (Evil smirk on her face, probably to her idiotic son).

   (After three days at the chemist shop of the apothecary's...)

Guinild: Evevry day now, he promised he would settle the matter. He's been in the apothecary's house for more than ten times and had every chance to ask for his daughter. And now, tne apothecary's angry and ask if we're making a fool out of him as the matter is settled between the aprents and all that remains is for him to say a word to the girl. Hmmm...but now, he sworn that he'll go through it. So I'll go to the apothecary and put him in a ghood temper. But I think his coming.

Leonora: What did he meant by that pernille?
Pernille: It meant that Master Gert should go to Jericho.
Leonora: Aren't you ashamed to be spiteful about my sweetheart in my presence?
Pernille: What kind of Sweet heart do you have when he talks about the news abd politics when he's supposed to be making love with a young lady like you?!
La: I'm sure he'll lose his love in Talking.
P: Oh. miss. There's no use saying that.
La: well, let's just change the subject. Kindly tell me what Monsieur Leonrad was talking about.
P: He was quite desperate when he heard you were to be married. He's been in love for you for like year now.

Leonard Sings like Carlo.

Leonard:
"Oh woh yeah
Oh

Nagpapaalam ka dahil nasaktan kita
Noo'y 'di makitang mali ako
Ngayo'y alam ko na, sayo'y nagkasala
Sana muli ako'y mapatawad pa

REFRAIN
Araw-araw kang lumuluha, sa akin ay nagmamakaawa
Noo'y 'di narinig pagsamo mo

CHORUS
Bakit pa ba nagawa
Na saktan ko ang isang tulad mo na labis na nagmamahal
'Di na pansin na walang katulad ang alay ng pag-ibig mo sa akin
Ako sana muli ay patawarin

Kaytagal akong bulag sa katulad mo
Gayong wagas yaring pag-ibig mo
Iniwan pa kita (iniwan pa kita), laging nag-iisa
Bakit pa nagawa ito sa 'yo

[Repeat REFRAIN]
[Repeat CHORUS]

AD LIB
Woh woh

[Repeat CHORUS]"

Leonora: For some reason why did you sang me that's song. I have to faint now so hurry.
Leonard: Okay, we'll better be leaving anyway, see you soon! And there's no reason on why i sang you that song to serenize you, besides there's nothing you nor I can do about it. Adieu beautiful lady.
Leonard left the shop and Leonora fainted.
