WedPost: EDUC WEEK, MOVING ON, and MARIA VITOYARI...

One of the most anticipated events of the whole AY in CMU-College of Education is the Education Week. As a BEEd, and BSE Stud, one can't help it but join the events because it is here where we show up our utmost skills, socialize with people, and most of all, it is here where we enjoy what it is to be an Educ Student.

As for me, it was this week this year where I showed up my wacky side not only to the College, but also to the Whole University. Why? It is because aside from being one of the prod staff for Mr. and Ms. Educ (which I shared in my old WedPosts), I was given the chance to host the majority of the competitions of the Week, i.e. Singing Contest, Dance Contest and Glee-inspired Contest.

Not to boast at all, but I became a star for a moment because of the stints, and shout-outs like Mooooooving On!!!..... (with matching echo and light effects), and Party Party!!! (which was so strong the audience can't help but dance!). It was my way of showing the world that I still have something to show, even though I was ridiculed the whole year round. Good thing, the students was set in the mood.

But the most ridiculous and most hilarious thing I did in the Educ Week was this: giving birth to a new personality. It all happened on the pageant night of Mr. and Ms. Education. Actually, I didn't do my job as stage manager, because my professor gave me two jobs: hosting and giving birth to a star for a night. I did it, and Ms. Maria Vitoyari Kaj was born... and died on the same night. I never thought that I could cross-dress and host with poise and glam. Though I heard well and enough that I ruined the event (and my reputation for that), still I heard much praise for a job so funny and good-looking.

For that, I was considered by the professors as The Lifesaver. Another commented, "You were a saint by day and a scandalous host by night." And another, "Hindi ko maisip na magsusuot ka ng ganyan, pero ang galing mo!!!"

Yet, I promise in the name of my profession (through the CCS), I will never cross-dress again. This would be my first and last time that I will wear a woman's dress. I enjoyed though, but still, it's not worth the dress. I always remember that I am a professed lay, and I will continue to abide by my vows.

Nevertheless, it was still a week well-spent, thanks to the people I mingled with, especially my friends and classmates, the candidates and production staff of Mr. and Ms. Education 2010, the professors, and the students which rode with my every stint and laughed and party-ied their hearts out.

I also greet warm congratulations to the personalities which emerged victorious in the competitions, especially to Mr. Ysmack Fornelos (photo, in polo) and Ms. Aubrey Trajano, our Mr. and Ms. Educ 2010.

Likewise, kudos to the people who were the brains of the Educ Week 2010, especially to Dr. James Arasad, OIC of the college, Ms. Veronica Francisco, Ms. Lia Domingo, Ms. Juliet Sanopo, Ms. Flor Tayco, and the Educators' Club, headed by Mr. Franz Sevilla. Kudos as well to the different clubs which stood side by side, and the student volunteers (me included) which helped the college in giving out a very special Week for us all.

Though this is my last Educ Week with my real classmates, every moment was still worth it. I will never forget this edition of the Educ Week for the rest of my student life. This one will never be forgotten in one way or another.

WedPost: It's the BER Months again!!!

CHRISTMAS IS HERE AGAIN!!!

Well, today is SEPTEMBER 01! It's the first day of the BER Months. I expect that in just a few days, we can hear again the timeless melodies such as Silent Night, Himig Pasko, and Bro, Ikaw ang Star ang Pasko!

And with hearing these songs, comes the thought of excitement. We all know that here in RP, Christmas begins in September and ends in January. The Magic of Pinoy Christmas doesn't wither every passing year. It just keeps getting better and better despite the poor stature that we Filipinos have.

Though we are scarce in money, food and other things, still the Magic of Pinoy Christmas takes away all tears and makes everyone smile to the ears. In reality, whatever may be the outcome of the year for everyone, still the Christmas Fever makes one leave a year and enter another in all smiles.

===+===

Moving on...

Being the Canvassing Officer is one of my tough jobs ever undertaken. I just realized that while the professors take charge of the remittance of money, still my job is very crucial. It is so, since the ballots would all come from me.

I also go with their rounds as their assistant campaign manager. We are spending the whole day of Tuesday (31 August... kahapon) and Thursday (02 September... bukas) going inside different classrooms, and having a meet-and-greet experience with the students of the college. Mingling with the candidates is a very happy experience. You don't only get to know different candidates from the four year levels, but likewise, we get to know their skills, and feel how their classmates and schoolmates show their support in any way.

Well, the heat rises as the days count to the pageant day. Their stress also rises, yet as I always say to them, Wag kayong mag-alala. Pagkatapos nito, ang lahat ay magiging iba na para sa inyo. Everything is going to be worth it.

===+===

Sa isang banda, I just would want to thank Mr. Raymart Cacho for making me one of the Admins of the College of Education Page at Facebook. As of yesterday, the professors accepted the page with a smile. Same thing with the numerous friends and students who liked the page. Now everyone, alumni or student, will be informed ahead of the upcoming programs of the college.

Likewise, I heard the news that my article for the Silver Jubilee of Bishop Deo will be the headline of TIMBULAN, our parish paper. I don't know when will it be out for distribution, but the thought of it makes me smile well and enough.

Kudos to everyone who continues to trust me, though however frail and weak I am.
