The only thing I have to worry about now is the school paper and our batch's yearbook! Last week, everything was settled. Everything was done, from our Kerygma reflections to our Investigatory Project! It was a huge relief that our Physics teacher didn't let our IP presentations to push through because of the time. In addition, our teachers started signing our clearance forms last week and we're already having our graduation practices!
As for college a.k.a my future, I will be finally be studying in my dream school! I have been worrying a lot because the College of Architecture in UST requires so many things to be done before they accept you like the orientation before the drawing exam, the drawing exam itself, and the need to go to the college's building just to see the results (since they can't post in on the net, I don't even know why!). Last week, my mom and I was even at UST for three straight days! I'm not complaining though, I was very glad that I will be able to study my chosen program. Now I just need to find a dormmate. Can you be my dormmate?
Our graduation's gonna be on April 4 so we'll be wasting a month practicing an occasion that'll last for just a few hours. But, my aunt's gonna be home for the holy week until my graduation so I guess we'll be travelling a lot! Sadly my dad won't be home for the occasion but it's okay since he's always absent at any occasion. Haha having an OFW dad has its disadvantages, I'm telling you.
For the meantime, I'm just gonna be watching movies and reading books until we finally work on the school paper. This is the life!!

An Evening of Organ Music
Students from my school are always invited to join and witness the annual Bamboo Organ Festival. It lasts for a week, I think, and a year level is assigned per night. This year was different for our section, though. We were the only section that was invited last February 24 to attend the Evening of Organ Music.
Since we came in a little too early, we decided to pass the time at Jollibee Kabihasnan and ate dinner there.
When we came back, the Manunugtog Kawayan from Las Pinas National Highschool were performing in front of the St. Joseph's Parish.
Afterwards, we were told to go inside the church for the concert itself. Here's a picture of the world-famous Bamboo Organ! During the concert, we were not allowed to take pictures and use our phones so I only have few pictures taken.
After the concert, we proceeded to the quadrangle to have some food! The night was sponsored by the ambassador of Belgium (or of some sort, I'm not really sure) thus, the free food!
Us with the guest of the night from Belgium, Mr. Peter Van de Velde! He was the only one who played the Bamboo Organ and also the organ inside the school's auditorium that night. :)
What happened that night was far different than all the other nights I've attended the festival! It was fun while it lasted. :)

Survived hell week; Another yet to come
Finalization of our investigatory project, completion of requirements for various subjects, NAT review, and paper works to be submitted at the end of the week. These are just some of the things that I was struggling with this week. Today, I was finally free from all that stress that this week has given me since this day, February 22, 2013, marks the last day of our classes!
There's no need to celebrate still. For the following week to come, our class was invited to attend the celebration of the Bamboo Organ festival on Sunday night, sponsored by some foreigner. Instead of some catching up on some Zs this long weekend, I will be busy studying for our finals.
The report date for UST, the school I still sought for, is on Monday. It's a good thing that my mom called ahead of time because the Office of Admissions told her that UST will be closed on Monday! They told my mom that we only have to visit their website to reserve for slots on Monday. Bummer.
It will also be the week for our final completion of requirements. A musical play on Pitch Perfect will also be two weeks from now, and I don't know yet if I have to contribute something there or not. Hah! Ever since second year, I've been helping out as a lights director or a lights man/woman, whatever, and I think that I'm gonna be doing the same. I'm not really sure yet since no one instructed me to do anything haha!
As for our finals, I will just be cramming for the Makabayan exams day. Taking four tests at the same day following the regular classes is not that easy! I have been ranting about that since freshmen year and thankfully, I survived the past few years so bring it on, February 26!
I am so close to graduation. After finals week, we will finally be having our graduation practice! Not that I'm excited for the practice itself though, I know that we will be scolded and harassed — to sing or act or whatever — numerous times for us to satisfy their needs. Anyway, my co-editors and I are planning to make the second issue of The Josephian during the graduation practice just to get away with it! *insert my smug face here*
Expect another blog post next weekend!

Para Thrilla in Manila Part II! 2.15.13
I have been a fan of Paramore ever since grade school and I was lucky enough to be able to attend their concert last Friday night!
Definitely one of the highlights of my 2013! It was my first time attending a concert like this because ever since, the only concert I go to is the Bamboo Organ concert! Haha!
We arrived at the Arena with mewithoutYou playing their songs. It took a while but when it was past 9 PM, Paramore was already onstage! Their opening song was "Now" and its too bad that I didn't listen to it ahead of the concert so I wasn't able to sing along. Anyway, I enjoyed the opening song with the pretty lights! It was so funny because I was with my siblings during the concert and they didn't know almost all of their songs haha! It turned out that I was the only one singing along with Hayley (and her vibrant red hair) among my siblings!
Here's their setlist:
I was glad that they played one of my favorite songs - For A Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic! Too bad they didn't play Where The Lines Overlap and All I Wanted :( But it was okay because it was so much fun! Two hours with Paramore for 1,800 pesos was so worth it!
- Now
- That's What You Get
- Born For This
- For A Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic
- Decode
- Renegade
- Pressure
- In The Mourning
- The Only Exception
- Let The Flames Begin
- Fences
- Looking Up
- Ignorance
- Monster
- Brick by Boring Brick
- Hello Cold World
- Misery Business
My favorite part was when Hayley sent out flying kisses all over the crowd. They were all so kilig! Hahaha!
Aaah I already miss those rocking lights that night. I really enjoyed my first concert! I'll definitely attend again if ever they come back! :)
Friends, expect me to sing Paramore songs for the next few days.
P.S. DSLRs weren't allowed inside so we only have our phones and tablet to take pictures with so sorry for the low quality pictures.

Happy Valentine's Day!
Got this from my CO, Noel! Ironically, what I gave to my officer last year is what I got this year! Hahaha!
Gifts from Jesse! I was teasing him that time because I already knew what book he's gonna give me. Thus the denial.. haha! It was very cute, you guys. I was glad that I was able to spend time with him even just for a moment (and no I'm not gonna break into a song haha). I was hoping that I made him happy too..
