Dr. Nicanor Reyes woke me up!

It seemed to me that Dr. Nicanor woke me up this morning since I stirred up 3 o’clock in the morning despite the fact that I slept late the night before. However, still, I wasn’t able to attend the floral offering for the FEU’s founder since I have to accomplish several academic requirements the late day.

Happy 79th Founding Anniversary, FEU!

Go Green and Gold!

I watched a play yesterday at Greenbelt One as a requisite to our Literary Criticism class. It was Frank Rich’s Moose Murder. I was with my friends Vanj, Davis, Lhen, Jill, Abby, Gai, Lars and the rest of EL0431 block. I realized that I really missed my ‘complete company’. Young, Rachel and I fed ourselves to death as a protest to the theatre we just viewed while discussing the weak and strong points of Rich.

I already sent a request for financial subsidy at the OSACS for the Paragon. We are waiting still for the development. Meanwhile, everybody seemed much occupied already for the upcoming FEU elections. Such a headache for me. I dunno still what post I will be running.

On the lighter note, I will be joining this year’s FEU-Athletic League for Team IAS – Badminton-Doubles. A very good way to de-stress, I guess. Hope i will find time to practice-play with Joseph (BS Math), my team-mate.
