I See Orange!

Campaign period is on the air! In fact, it is already raining orange and red in campus. As part of the SANDIGAN PARTY, the so-called Vanguards of Students’ Rights and Welfare, I am very much preoccupied with campaign stuffs, speeches, leaflets, ballots, candidates, and all. Heck, even my own room is affected. Past January, I was thinking as to what party I will be running for. Apparently, now, I have chosen the orange banner over the red one because of the following reasons:

1. Kuya EA (of Sandigan) was the first one to offer me electoral position. (before Kuya Jeff M.)
2. My ELC co-officers (Mike P. and Mark I.) are already running for SAMASA PARTY (My thinking was that, at least, there would be one who will represent ELC to Sandigan).
3. Most of my friends are from Sandigan Party (Danilo, Charm, Lionel, Fatz, Arnel, Jan, to name just a few)
4. God willed it!

We have been attending trainings for more than a couple of times already. Candidates from the party have been trained already on the rudiments of running in school politics. “Avoid acting like trapos”, they never fail to remind us. With the end in mind, I am, more or less, ready to accept whatever the future has to offer.

Win or lose, I am still a servant leader. Mind it!

27 January 2006

January 27, for some apparent reasons, seemed to be the busiest day of all the days in January month for me. See why.

Dr. Nicanor Reyes Challenge: An Extemporaneous-Speaking Competition-I was part of the organizing committee of this inter-institute tilt. I took my part in facilitating in the preparation with Gee since I have to leave for the Gawad Tamaraw and Sayawit in the Auditorium. Well, friend Arnel Mondejar brought home the bacon. Congrats, Kuya Arnel!

Gawad Tamaraw 2006-I was overwhelmed (though somehow expected), receiving the Outstanding Business Manager of the Year Award by the 1^st Gawad Tamaraw organized by FEUCSO. Meanwhile, the English Language Circle, the academic organization I am affiliated with, was accorded 3^rd place in the Outstanding Academic Organization Category. For some inexplicable reasons, the Tamaraw Volunteers was awarded 3^rd place for the Outstanding University-Wide Organization Category. (sounds bitter, but then, I knew somebody can get a share of the pie!)

Bamboo, Live!-After getting wasted whole day, the sweetest reward I received was a seat, at first, at the front section during the concert of Bamboo. Oh, bad thing it rained though. It did not, however, completely left us in fiasco.

At the end of the day, I looked forward to having a good night sleep in my comfy bed...
