Political Science 2006

Ever dreamed of an owe-inspiring world?

Well, there is nothing you wish you could live college life with fun under the sun but in these four walls of concrete – we considered home for four years. Four years filled with rituals of youth, trials and fun. 

These are the funny, inspiring and memorable personas of our tribe: In our class you will never frown…we got Madam Ibo, Madam Frias and Sir De Guzman – the king and queens of our tribe. The man and women of our hearts. Rochelle – the PSC President rules like a noble queen but she’d never been so mean. 

Maui is sweet – definitely the class baby while Laila is the class lading lady and Ton is the young version of Mrs. Sevillano and Andrew is the number one worshiper of James Yap. 

Pau is always poised. Vince has an enchanting voice. Vanie Mae, Luz, Reycel and Charm are demure buddies and Bon and Yhen are perfect lovers while Norly and Mayet has a love and hate relationship. And when John sits with the boys – he wants to rejoice. 

Francis is the “padre de pamilya”. Hernie is the artist. Stephen is said to be “kikay” and Yano is kind that makes him Mrs. Navarez’ paborito. Beware of Avelino for he will pull you unnoted tricks. 

Ailyn was mistaken to be suplada and Astrid is the class treasurer and also sings in tune. And when Ave sings his song expect the monsoon. Jojo and Mark is our best bet in basketball while Blaise in soccer. With France is never boring since she is always laughing and Pipay excel in almost everything. Mai Mai epitomizes a beauty queen doll. Noisy yet delightful Vanie, Bang, Abi and Angel are best pal and smart Judy is everybody’s mahal. Tin is the best writer while Liedee is the class latecomer and Anabel’s kamao never fails to impress everybody. 

And with Ate Jen, Mimi Grace and Manny – the newest addition in our family the class was never in dismay. 

We’ve got all the best for you to stay…such a pleasant personality showing a slice of POLITICAL SCIENCE HARMONY.

Basketball Moments.....

I was cheering at a steady pace, breathing heavily. Around me was a crowd wearing blue…defiantly in the sea of UAAP spectators that filled the Araneta Coliseum.

August 7, 2011 I watched the ATENEO-FEU game at the Big Dome. I was able to take part in this momentous event, thanks to Jen that came along with me and who happens to be a Tamaraw. (LOL!!)

Watching UAAP games are always a dream come true for me…though we just stayed at the upper box area, it was worth it. 

In the past years, I used to watch UAAP games but in most games I watched, I was alone. Things were better that way I thought. Watching the game was my passion and seeing the players played their best to victory is very rewarding. For me, every game I watched was an opportunity to show my passion for basketball to the world. Then I realized that it was more fun being with someone to cheer with you along the way. 

 

Now, I’m looking forward in watching more games with friends… because for sure, it will be more exciting every time I will watch the game with great and special companion.

First Year

 Since the first time we’ve meet

I’ve kept thinking how’d I get

The guy I’m longing for

Hope he’ll not close his door

I’m not sure with what I feel

And I don’t know how to deal

When I knew others’ view

I found out, they also like you

Second Year

 Because of peer pressure

Even I’m not very sure

Tried another guy

Hope that my feelings would die

But I did not succeed

With what I did

Another guy comes

And offer some

Took the temptation

End up with dissatisfaction

Third Year

 When I knew you had a girlfriend

It broke my heart which another guy couldn’t mend

Hopes were lost

To the guy I love most

I was crown failure

And I get insecure

But still I like you

I’m thinking what to do

One way is to steal

Maybe it’s God’s will

I believe in faith

So I’ll wait

Fourth Year

 Every time I had a chance

I always took a glance

With the goodness you show

I can’t control the flow

You’re always in my dreams

My feelings returned as it seems

Hoping it would be real

If I say what I feel

Tried to do it once

You thought it was just for fun

You don’t seem to believe

But still my feelings won’t leave

Now that we are very close

I can’t afford to lose

Someone so dear

I try to say this clear

Please believe me its true

If I say I LOVE YOU.

ometime in 2002 my father noticed a “lump” at the back of his ear. He figured it wasn’t really serious and ignores it – but not until this “lump” gets bigger and he became weak. He finally had it check. Various tests were conducted and soon the moment we learned about it, we pleaded not true played before us…our father was diagnose with cancer. He has Lymphoma (cancer in the lymph nodes).

We couldn’t believe what we heard. We were shocked and confused. We couldn’t say anything. Our minds went blank. The doctors testified that it was a very rare sickness. The news was needless to say, very hard to take for all of us especially him. We just basically cried together.

He had to undergo chemotherapy sessions; eight sessions every two weeks – there came a time that he really became very weak.  

More than the physical trauma brought by cancer, he felt like its already the end of the world. He woke up in the middle of the night depressed. We questioned God sometimes…Why Him? It was a major turning point in our lives, especially him. It was very different from our usual and active lifestyle.

Having the “Big C” helped him realized a lot of things. He firmly resent the idea of dying…he was sure, he will win this biggest battle of his life. We were living life positively…we kept on saying “mabubuhay pa siya for the family”, with that it keeps him going.

We do everything to make him forget his illness and its the kind of support that makes him through the hardest time. His haircut was a testimonial of his optimism – few days after a Chemo Session, he discovered that his hair was falling out. Instead of letting depressed him… “inunahan na niya” he shaved his head.

A lot has happened, more than we care to remember – the pain and the depression, but it kept us strong and together as we faced this biggest battle of his life…a battle which we also fought with him.

After several Chemo Sessions, his body was responding to the treatment. Big improvements were observed…we were very happy at that moment. CANCER CAN’T AND WILL NOT BEAT HIM AND VICTORY IS DEFINITELY JUST AROUND THE CORNER.

But early 2004 his condition gets worst…he became weaker to a point that we had to rush him to the hospital. And hopes were slowly falling apart. After almost a month confined in the hospital he gave up on his battle. On May 8, 2004 at around 7:00 in the evening he died.

We realized that we had a lot to be thankful for at the time of our bereavement. Despite of all the pain we’ve gone through…we found light from the hands of our family, friends, relatives and of course God – who was our ultimate source of strength throughout this battle. He kept us whole when everything was falling apart.

Five years have past but as if it was just yesterday when you left us and we are still hurting.

Thank you for everything…

Thank you for being a good husband to mama; a good father and provider to us your children; a good son to your parents; a good brother to your siblings; a good son-in-law to lolo and lola and above all for being a good person to others.

               

We said this before and we’ll say it again…

                WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH and WE MISS YOU

So long as we see each other again.
