3rd Best Music Video of the Year -
Magandang Bukas

Para sa 'kin patas lang ang nakuha nating mga awards lalo na sa music video dahil aminado naman ako na hindi superb ang videography at equipment natin. Di ba nga, may nauna tayong concept na iba sa final video natin? Which means to say, bawas na 'yung effort at perang inukol natin para sa final concept. Pero at least, content-wise, quality naman ang video natin especially the message it wants to convey to the audience. Ang isang ikinahihinayang ko ay hindi natin nakuha ang Best Production Number. Para sa akin kasi, dun natin binuhos ang lahat ng effort natin. Sabi ko pa nga sa mga nag-perform dati, since talo naman tayo as Music Video of the Year (fearless forecast ko), dito nalang natin ibuhos ang lahat sa production number... Worth the effort naman dahil kita sa audience na namangha sila nung gabing 'yun. Sabi pa nga ng hosts na sina Minggay at Erysh, "career" kung career talaga tayo.

Anyway, nag-bukas ako ng friendster at nakita ko ang bulletin post ng kaibigan ko sa 3-2 na si Carmela. Kagulat ang post nya:

Bsta GUYS!!!!!!!!! we know.. what WE REALLY!!! deserve!!!! babawi rtayo! and for sure.. KABOG kau!!!!!!!!!

Sa bagay, ganyan din tayo minsan eh.. Although different issue yung sa kanila, at pinagtanggol ko sila sa previous posts dito. Naku, ayoko nang magdagdag ng comment dahil baka simulan pa ng away sa mga colleagues natin. Widely-read pa man din tong website naten, joke!

Basta kailangan nating magsikap para sa darating na Drama Festival. Sa totoo lang, napag-iiwanan na tayo ha... Wala tayong nakuha sa Human Exhibit, tapos humahakot ng awards ang ibang section gaya ng 3-2 at 3-3. Sana talaga magkaisa tayong lahat at magtulung-tulungan... OK? Aja!

Opisyal na: 3-1D na Tayo!

Oh yes, pagkatapos ng isang bakasyon, third year na rin tayo. At maraming nagbago. At maraming hindi.

Ang maskom? Mejo nag-iba. Ang charet [Chapel na Cabaret; matatagpuan sa tabi ng guardhouse, yung may mga banderitas] ganun parin, pero ang katabi nitong guard house ay nilagyan na ng rehas na may malaking tala, este logo ng PUP. Isa daw yun sa pinaggamitan ng kinita sa LoveBoble concert. At meron na ring shelter sa kabilang side sa may tabi ng canteen. Ang komento nga lang ng karamihan, mainit dahil walang kisame. Bago na rin ang nurse ng medical clinic (ang suplada nung dati noh?).

Marami ang tumaba sa klase, at isa ako sa mga pinaka-kapansin-pansing tumaba. May ilan ring pumayat. Meron ding nagbabalik mula sa libingan, na si Chrisma. Ang malungkot, may lumisan din. Hindi na raw mag-aaral si Venus at magtatrabaho na lang daw siya. Kaya naman, si Glaiza na ang bagong secretary ng klase, maliban kay Pamela na siyang bago nating presidente.

Taliwas sa naunang naipost dito, hindi na pala S.A. si Jheng. Sa halip, ang tatlo sa F4 ng 3-1 ang mga S.A. ng maskom. Si Mart sa Extension & Linkages, si Vernon sa Dean's office, at si Edryan sa Communication Research. Si Bibat? Hayun, taga-tulong sa tatlo, hehe...

Samantala, narito na ang pinal na sked ng ating klase para sa semestreng ito:

MONDAY/THURSDAY
7:30AM-9:00AM = RM106 = Drama & Theater Arts [Kriztine Viray]
9:00AM-10:30AM = RM101 = Multimedia Graphics [Felix Cabahug]
10:30AM-12:00PM =RM211 = R-TV-F Scriptwriting [Malaya Abadilla]
12:00PM-1:30PM = BREAK
1:30PM-3:00PM = MAIN-N606 = General Statistics [A. Sta. Maria]

TUESDAY/FRIDAY
7:30AM-9:00AM = RM201 = Intra/Inter Comm. [Arapia Ariraya]
9:00AM-10:30AM = BREAK
10:30AM-12:00PM = RM203 = AD/PR Case Studies [Bert Castro]
12:00PM-1:30PM = RM110 = World Literature [Alfredo Cuenca]
1:30PM-3:00PM = RM203 = Politics and Governance [PJ de Vera]

May nagkwento na daw kay Sir Don tungkol sa pagkaklase natin sa Main at mukhang aaksyunan ata. Sana naman dahil yung prof lang ata nagdecide nun, ang room na nasa regi natin eh 114 at hindi main... Ang isa ko pang kinakabahan ay si Sir Bert. Nag-aalala ako para sa kanya dahil second floor pa ang klase namin sa kanya tapos sinabi nya pa na mas bumaba ang blood pressure nya. Pansin nga na mas pumayat at mas humina ang boses nya, kaya wish ko lang na maging maayos ang semestreng ito...

RC 3-1D Conquering College Administration?

No, it's not. The news is, we have our colleagues as the student assistants for this school year. Mart Elias Carlo Marañon renews his contract (artista?!) under Sir Racidon Bernarte. Dean Robert Soriano's new assistant is Vernon Carlo Parreño. And if I'm not mistaken, Diessa Liane Asidao is still in the DBC office.

If you can remember, Mart previously planned to finish his S.A. stint this school year, but according to him, Sir Don doesn't want him yet to leave. When I asked Carlo on his move, he jokingly said that he and Dean made 'brokeback-an' that's why he was easily hired. Well, of course that's a joke. But wait, here's another joke from Vernon. He asked me to watch this video of Michael V. You watch it yourself and see what his joke is:



Meanwhile, DBC Chairperson Edna Bernabe has left for the States last May 22. In a text message from her, she said she is not yet certain of her plans to stay there for good. She is also thinking about teaching there. She asked our class to take care of ourselves and she is counting on us to become an outstanding section. She is also asking to take care of her niece Heleena.

At present, the acting DBC chairperson is Prof. Racidon Bernarte. Hmm, I wonder if he's still in charge of the Research, Extension and Linkages Office? I haven't asked Mart yet, but I'll update this entry later.

First Stop: ENROLMENT

Before we officially become the new batch of BBrC 3-1D, here are some basic things that we will undertake on tomorrow's Third Year Enrolment for the College of Communication:

1. Requirements: Ballpen, Registration form, Major class cards of Second Year 2nd Sem. (CommRes), P.E. class card, P440 (expected tuition fee), P20 mandatory payment for The Communicator and extra money for emergency.
   
2. Filling Up the R.O. Form.
3. Payment to the Cashier.
4. Validation.
5. Printing of New Registration Card.

For this first semester, we have a uniform schedule for the week which is 7:30 AM to 3 PM. In the meanwhile, here is what I remember of the sked (this is not quite accurate, I'll just update this):

The Net Benefits of HUMANITIES FEST '07

Congratulations sa BBrC 2-5 sa pagiging Overall Champion ng Humanities fest ngayong taon, oy oy oy, walang halong malisya 'to dahil may mga kaibigan din naman ako sa kanila (Regards nga pala kina Guillan, Say, Jackie, at Valerie!). Masaya ako dahil deserving din sila. Tingnan mo ha, hetong mga awards nila: 1st place, Literature; 1st place, Music; 2nd place, Dance; Overall Champion--Grand Slam din gaya ng nangyari sa debate natin di ba?

Anyway, ating tingnan ang mga maganda at di magandang nakuha natin sa hindi natin pagsali sa Humanities:


(-) Matagal na nating inaasam na mag-Humanities (especially Humanities Fest). Isa pa, nami-miss na rin natin si Sir Don. Akalain mong ang iba sa atin eh may mga balak nang gamiting mga dance steps at songs para dito. At pagkatapos, ano? Anong ang nangyari?! Sino itong Agpaoang ito?!! (Wishung!!) Naguho ang mga pangarap! Dagdag sana yan sa MOGC ha!

(+) Kahit paano, hindi naidagdag si Maam Agpaoa sa ating DELINKWENTE list, di gaya ng iniisip natin. Ipinasa niya tayong lahat, with matching 1 step higher pa. (Thank u Maam!) At isa pa, mas napagtuunan natin ng pansin ang ating Comm Campaigns. Tignan mo, tapos na tayo sa implementation; samantalang yung mga nag-Humanities, mag-iimplement pa lang...

Pero in fairness, medyo na-flatter ako sa narinig ko na may sinabi daw ang mga taga-RC2-5 na sana sumali daw tayo para may kalaban sila. O diba, which means to say, tinuturing nila tayong matinding competitor! Adding to that, nakaka-touch din si Sir Don dahil special mention tayo (at ang 2-3 na siyang umasikaso sa event) sa Humanities Fest.

Bilang pagtatapos, masasabi nating kahit ano pa ang costs at benefits ng hindi natin pagsali (which is pwede naman kahit di natin prof si Sir Don), nangyari na ang nangyari. At kahit paano, magaganda naman yung advantages na nakuha natin. Ibaling na lang siguro natin sa mga susunod na competitions yung naipong talent outburst naten... Kaya dapat, sa susunod na campus activity, walang excuses! Sisiguraduhin nating may maiuuwi tayong panalo kahit maliit lang, ok? Go 2-1, este 3-1 na pala! Welcome ourselves! Welcome the new RC 3-1!! Kita-kits next year!

Marge in Philippine's Next Top Model

Tonight, RPN 9 premiered the Philippine version of Tyra Banks' America's Next Top Model, the Philippine's Next Top Model. By 8:30 PM, the show opened with a fast-paced look at the past search auditions in the country, and immediately revealing the Top 27. From the Top 27, they further eliminated them down to the Final Top 14.


Our focus is on Marjorie "Marge" Cornillez of Antipolo City, one of the semi-finalists. For everyone's information, she is an irregular Mass Communication student here in PUP College of Communication. Fortunately, she is presently our classmate in the subject Intro to Humanities, and last sem, she was also our classmate in Philippine Literature. According to her, she was actually a student from the College of Engineering, but she was encouraged to transfer here in COC because it was more fit for her beauty. And now, she has proven her worth by being selected as finalist in PNTM.

For the pilot episode, the finalists were isolated to an apartment-type building as their temporary house for the series' run. There were limited beds, so two of them were left sleeping on the living room.

The first challenge/activity was a photo shoot in the busy Avenida with photographer and judge Xander Angeles. It wasn't just any ordinary shoot, because in front of the people, they were to wear bikini. Following that was the deliberation of the panel of judges (Rufa Gutierrez, Robbie Carmona, Pauline Sauco-Juan, and Xander Angeles), and their verdict on every 'best shot' of the finalists. Honestly, Marge had very little exposure in the episode, as there were very few and quick shots on her.

The denouement was an elimination of one of the finalists, done by giving the photo of the finalist who survives and continues to the next round. The last two who were not called were Kaye and Marge. To Marge, Rufa said, "Marge, you're beautiful, but people seem to forget you or recall your name." To Kaye, Rufa said, "Kaye, you look like a model, but you don't have a personality."

"Who will win--the girl with no presence (Marge), or the girl with no personality (Kaye)?"

When Rufa showed what she's holding, there was no picture. Meaning, both of the two were eliminated.

"Siguro hindi para sa 'kin 'to. May purpose kung bakit natanggal ako," Marge relates as she packs up her things."


Even though Marge was eliminated too early, we in RC 2-1 are proud of her for reaching to that far level in the competition. At least, she had her stint on TV and compared to others, she prioritizes her studies. As shown earlier in the show, one of the finalists even stopped studying for that contest. Well, I wish her good luck.

To Marge, congratulations and we're very proud of you!

Galing ng COC, Galing ng PUP!
