EGAH

Yet another Engg Choir related post.

Last night, the Engineering Grand Alumni Homecoming was held at the NBC Tent. Just like last year, the Engineering Choir was invited to sing the doxology and the national anthem for the event. We were also asked to "serenade" the jubilarians this year with a Bituing Walang Ningning choral piece. Nice. :D Sayang, we had to cut the song short kasi kulang sa oras for practice... It's such a beautiful song pa naman.

We had dinner, kasama kami dun sa buffet. Oha! 1Kphp na libre din yun! :D

Pagkatapos ng EGAH, diretso naman ako sa Shang walk to meet Argel and some of the CNL guys. We stayed there until the band stopped playing, and then umuwi na. :D

Haaay... baka yun na yung last na gimik ko before my sem starts. Boo.

24 Hours

I woke up at 4am yesterday to get ready for the 2007 Engineering Recognition Rites (Enggchoir sang the national anthem, go the distance, and UP naming mahal). Hung out with Norman and Fil at PEL in the afternoon before we went to Kamayan for Norman's graduation dinner. Oh... and Dyan, Fil, and I bought him a couple of Bench underwear for his graduation. :D Though there were awkward moments at our table, people (two persons in particular) warmed up to each other (again) somehow and I can say that... Dinner was great. :D Ige, Liz, Dyan, Emil, Fil, Danes, May, Arpee, Jim, and Niña and younger Circuit mems were there.

Then the 01s (except for May who went home ahead of us) went to Tiendesitas after dinner. Engr. Pugoy's treat ;). I had like... how many bottles of beer? I was so drunk I can't really remember...

I emptied a bottle! Nyahahaha

Hehehe joke lang. I didn't drink. I don't drink. Liz, Ige, and I just had mango shakes. :) Everybody else had beer. We stayed there until maybe 1 or 2 in the morning.

And then we went to Something Fishy for breakfast. Still Engr. Pugoy's treat ;). I wasn't hungry when we arrived so I just sat there and listened to people's stories. When I finally had some space again in my stomach for food, I ate breakfast. I suppose I was really sleepy after eating - I fell asleep at the table. They woke me up when it was time to go. I think this was around 3:45am.

Sleeping at Something Fishy. Pic taken by Norman.

I was supposed to be dropped off at Katipunan, but then someone asked me if I would be ok - I said yes. Then someone said something about nakatatakot naman and about me being matapang - I said, "Natakot naman ako...". Good thing Ige was kind enough to drive me all the way to Sta. Lucia. :) I have such good friends. :)

So I arrived home around 4am. I got ready for bed and went to sleep. One full day awake and I was in a dress. Even worse - I was in high heels. T_T My feet still hurt.

Hmm... after rereading the post, I realized I didn't actually mention anything we talked about (except for the nakatatakot thing). I guess the conversations were too personal or controversial for the bloggosphere to know (as Rex would say it hehe). :)

Norman, thanks for the stay at PEL and the dinner! And Emil, thanks for the breakfast and the mango shake! Ige, thanks for the drive home! :)

Aww...

My 4th EE290Q reading assignment grade is just 3.5. The previous assignments were all graded 4. Sadness...

~~~

Went to the 1st ever University Carol Fest with Fed and Eric. Galing ng Engg Choir! :D

I also went to the IML Christmas party. First time ko pumunta sa IML party. :D Talong games are fun! Hahaha

Yun lang. May gagawin pa ako para kay Raffy. Sana manalo si Raffy sa Miss Engg. :)

Mainam para sa 4-6 Katao*

Gagamitin ko muna pansamantala ang ating sariling wika (at ilang hiram na salita) sa pagkukwento ngayon.

Maraming nangyari sa araw na ito ngunit iiklian ko lang ang kwento.

Kumanta ang Enggchoir sa Engineering Convocation kanina sa Engg theater. Naging maayos naman yata ang aming pag-awit dahil pinalakpakan na naman ang aming doxology at national anthem (na hindi naman dapat pinapalakpakan).

Pagkatapos ng pag-awit (mga 2pm na yun) ay may meeting naman ako sa ASTI kasama ang aking mga guro para sa VHDL at FPGA training para sa susunod na linggo. Naging maayos naman ang pagpupulong.

Pagkatapos ay tumungo naman ako sa ckt lounge (mga 4pm) upang magpractice para sa awitan hanggang 7:30. Pagkatapos ng practice ay kumain kami - ako, fed, danes, eric, at riley - sa Kenny Rogers Katipunan. Naging masaya ang hapunan. Punung-puno ng katatawanan, dahil na rin kay fed, kay danes, kay riley, at kay eric (ok masaya kaming lahat), at sa crew ng Kenny Rogers at sa comment form (smile Louie!).

Marami pang nangyaring kakatuwa ngunit ako'y inaantok na kaya matutulog na ako. Magandang gabi!

*Mainam para sa 4-6 katao - good for 4-6 persons ang kinain namin sa Kenny Rogers.

Eng'g Alumni Homecoming

Wow... nakapapagod (pagod pero hindi makapaghintay ng bukas para mag-update ng blog haha).

Some of us from enggchoir were already at the Manila Polo Club by 9:30am because they said that we were allowed to have a soundcheck only in the morning. But it turned out we were too few to have a decent soundcheck so we decided to ask the director if we could possibly have it in the afternoon so we could wait for others to arrive, and he said, "Of course! We have all afternoon for that." And we were like... hmm... o-k... pwede pala yun, sana hindi na kami nauna. But being early turned out to be a good thing. Libre lunch namin eh. :D

While waiting for the others, we went to a room and found a baby grand piano. We practiced for a bit until a lady said that we should coordinate with the "admin" first before using the piano. We stopped practicing and just sat there singing songs from musicals and Disney movies. At syempre, nagpicture-picture din kami.

Hey! There's Engg building! The stage. Cool isn't it? :)

The ladies at Engg steps? Hehe From left: Mon girl, Eden, Sarah, and Claire.

Gwapong Gabo and Elmaganda before the performance. XD I'm wearing uber-light make-up. Di kasi ako marunong mag apply mag-isa. I really need those kikay sessions from Fil. :D

We sang Hear My Prayer and the National Anthem. Kumusta naman? Pinalakpakan kami after kumanta. Tama ba yun? Hahaha

Gabo and Sarah after the performance. Where did they get those drinks? Haha

After the performance, we ate, nag-kodakan, at umuwi na ang iba. Will post more pics when Sir Omar uploads them. :)

Ayun. It was a super fun day for me. Kelan ulit kakanta ang enggchoir? Baka sa graduation na. In the meantime, galit-galit muna sabi nga ni Jon. Awitan na eh. :D

Poster!

Look look! Hehe nandyan kami ni Fil! At saka ni Gabo pa pala.:D Luma na pala ito, ngayon lang ako nakakuha ng softcopy.

Enggchoir will be singing tomorrow at the UP College of Engineering Alumni Homecoming. Hehe Sulit ang grad dress ko, magagamit ko ulit!

Another funny post from Scott Adams. Go a*terisk!

Recognition Rites

This morning was the Engineering Recognition Rites. I don't know why, but I didn't "feel" anything. Si fil pa nga yata yung naiyak eh, hindi ako. To think that it was our recog rites, not hers. :D

Hehe... Anyway... thank God I joined the Engg Choir in doing the National anthem, an intermission number, and the UP Naming Mahal. In a way, I felt "special", being able to be on the stage more than once. :D Nasulit ko yung stage. Haha

Haaay... I'll miss singing. I'll miss Gabo teaching us songs to sing.
