How long does flowers rock?

I was chosen to assist Chikotita (Campus Radio Baguio’s Program Director) for the event Bulaklakrock 2009 – Year 5. It was fun and at the mean time, overwhelming (with lots of freebies from the event’s sponsors, especially The Bar – Always Open).

Actually, I don’t know where to start. I am still being bombarded by all the experiences that happened last Saturday (18 February 2009).

4:00 PM. Sir Boom chose five students from BC132 class (Pinky, Reg, Erwin, Dianne, and me) and three from acquaintances (Washu, Janela , and Cha). Excited for the event, some of us arrived early (and I’m one of them). Some of us, however, were late.

And so at four in the afternoon, the stage was ready for the event. We just waited for the event to start at 6:30PM. While waiting and preparing for the upcoming event, we (production assistants) have some moments to discuss some issues. First is about the Crystal Cave issue and the Mayor’s take on it. Reg and his groupmates from Science and Technology in

 Society (STS) class had conducted a research on the geographical problems caused by the government in Crystal Cave Baranggay, Baguio City. (Details will be published together with the group’s documentary soon) Next, we’ve talked about some issues on Glaysa and Franz’s case. I would again publish another post for this one.  The other topic was on the upcoming recognition event for university and college scholars. Thank God, I was able to attain such before graduating.

6:30 PM. The event started! First, Papa Carlo (Kuya Julius) introduced the first band

 performer, whom was the champion last year. The start of the event has been the start of busy times for us. For the next hours, we will be doing commands and duties that may stress us down: going back and forth to the DJ booth that is in the Melvin Jones grounds to relay information when it comes to technical matters, making sure that the talents are well instructed (enough for them to utter The Bar – Always Open from time to time during their performance), and conveying the gift packs from numerous sponsors of the event (Mlhulier, The Bar, and Zonrox).

10:30 PM. The event was a great success! Viewers are really promising, watching the event until it finishes. How overwhelming the crowd has been!

But one thing had mattered, we had consumed so much food (courtesy of the station) after the event. By the way, Jumping Salad had won the contest and I had no doubt with that. They are better than the guest band, Pinoy Idol’s Ram and his band. The band is great and really holds the approval of the viewers.

So, on with the food: The station had let us consumed all the food that is in the table (at Good Taste) as long as we can take. Actually, the food was really so much that we haven’t emptied our plates. Oh, how I wish my stomach don’t full easily. I just want other bites from the restaurant’s specialty, buttered chicken. Moreover, I also want to empty the bowl of pancit

 canton.

All in all, I went home with a lot of remembrances from the event: 4 bottles of The Bar and ballpens and keychains from MLhuillier. But the most important of all is the experience and the I.D. and certificate that will surely remind me of the event. I’ve enjoyed it.

I would want to use this little space to acknowledge people for this awesome experience: Sir Boom, Sir Chiko, Ate Margelle (Sexy Inday), Papa Carlo, Papa Gio, Papa Jolo, Ate Harve and all the staff, and my co-P.A.s namely Reg, Pinky, Dianne, Washu, Janela, Erwin, and Cha. ‘Till next time guys!

UP Baguio: Beach Resort at Day, Interstellar Galactica at Night

So you’ve known our services very well. But wait, there’s more! UP Baguio doesn’t just end there.

We are not just your typical beach resort. We are a galaxy where stars accumulate.

We will melt your freeze away by our warm accommodations. Yes, warm – enough to put our establishments on fire.

Be enlightened by our own league of stars that shines brightly, you’ll never remember that you’re living. We know you would be asking how it really feels if you don’t feel that you live when you are really living. Well, we don’t know either.

So here’s our newest theme just this December. This is again in our ever original Free for All Program. This theme has been absolutely appropriate for the holidays that will be coming soon. Since we are always informing our soon-to-be customers every single project and pakulo, we have decided that we should give this theme a name. So, we named it the “Oplan: Kuryente ko ‘to! Pakialam mo kung Gusto kong Gumawa ng Galaxy sa Earth!” So there it is! Our new project! We just like the title, aren’t they? Oplan KKTPMKGKGGE has made possible by the combined rationality (Weber! Hahaha) of our set of staff – that is our Manager. According to the united ideas of our Manager, expenses should not be a hindrance in creating special life for our apathetic customers.

The Oplan KKTPMKGKGGE (Try to memorize this, huh!)

So you are saying that UP Baguio is burning into ashes right now?

How dare you?!!!

Wait! Don’t panic!

Ooops! Don’t call the emergency hotline!

Here’s our explaination:

Have you ever wondered why there are fewer stars in the sky these past few days than before? Have you ever wondered where did the stars go?

We are proud to tell you that they are here in UP Baugio!

We were touched by how long they’ve been there in the sky just to make us realize how good the world was (later, never), let us lift our spirit – so help me god, halleluiah, amen.

(Oh, by the way, any gad-firing people is also invited here in our resort. In case you don’t know, we have our church underwater – in the pool area.)

So, we talked to them. And what has happened has happened.

They rested on out trees and plants, on our roofs (arranged to form letters to make us know that they are saying PASKO 2008), and in our trash cans. We made them rest in any place they can think of.

And again, we would want to tell you but can’t tell it now that that was just a lot of increase on our electric bill. That would then be our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) – to create something impressive for our sake. We mean, we bring to us what we really deserve.

P.S.

Oh, before we forget, we would like to emphasize that we care for those not-so-glow-in-the-dark stars. They are just in the area of our new haunted building (at night, since it’s dark there), the CAC building.

No electricity to consume but we accommodate them and . . . and . . . and . . . and we care for them.

Gusto ko lang ng isyu: (Para di masabing apathetic)

Why ba they don’t like to make saksak sa Gale kung talagang for academic purposes lang naman gagamitin? Kesa there sa mga lights na not necessary naman?

Langit Luffa

Heaven, luffa,
In fairness,
In, in, in fairness.
Saksak heartness,
Flowing ang dugesh.
Chuging, alive
Scrung ka na diyan!

- Mga batang bading na naglalaro ng Langit, Lupa.

Sometimes, this gives me the feel of childhood.
Oooops, I played Langit, Lupa before but unlike this one. Well, I somehow would like to play it like that. (Laughs)

This is a text message from Love.

Welcome to the UP Baguio Beach Resort

Come to the most ambitious beach resort in the city – the University of the Philippines Baguio beach resort.

Feel the overwhelming relaxation.

Relax your eyes with our colorful flags, which signifies not only as a sign that we are a prestigious beach resort but it also means that this beach resort is open for all denizens of any country in the world. (More like a hotel for United Nations delegate)

Experience our fiesta theme this month as we celebrate every coming day. We want everyone to feel that every moment of life is worth partying for. Thus, we also cater to cancer, AIDS, and those who are not patients. This place is for you since it is a smoke-free, drug-free, alcohol-free, and water-free resort. Just tell us what you want to be free and we will make it free. That’s democracy, right? This is our program called Free for All.

Recollect your colorful past by the glint of the witty banderitas within our parking area, in front of our lobby.

Sunbathe with the biggest umbrella (which I think would not be available at the moment you need it) in our IM Plaza (Instant Money Plaza) – a 100% iron benches and plant-free (included with the program Free for All) but brick-full plaza.

Be secured with our new building, the CAC (Collage of Ants and Cats) building. The building has its own gate inside the resort. Plus, this is the catch; you will never see this gate closed so everyone is welcome anytime, 24ever.

Be amazed by the air that is always coming out from our facets, 24/7. That’s because we are water-free campus.

Finally, plunge into the deepest pond and try to find out that it is water-less.

So what are you waiting for? Come and experience our promo for VIPs, the Come Now, Pay Greater.

For further information, call us with this number.

(Dial any number and they will surely connect you to us. And remember, you won’t call us, we’ll call you.)

on Little Miss Sunshine

I can’t explain why until now, I seem to not recover with the movie Little Miss Sunshine. This movie had thought me lot of things and actually, inspired me with my plans on making films.

Ang galling! The shots, the story, the script, and the cinematography are all perfect. I have watched it for many times and still can’t find any flaws from it. All shots are relevant to the whole story.

Watch the trailer:
