We did it!

February 11, 2009

Photo taken with full emotions this 10:49

"We did it!" Those were the words after we sang the Alma Mater song this morning, February 11, 2009. It was a very uplifting moment for me and all the students and staff of De La Salle University - Dasmarinas as we attempt to create the record of having the World's Biggest Human Star Formation.

The heat was striking our skins but we didn't even care while we parade from the ends of the University to the University Grandstand. I personally felt so much joy throughout the whole event to walk hand in hand with your fellow students and teachers in having one goal of Attempting a World Record.

But the most important part of the said event is the scholarship fund raising that would benefit the future students of De La Salle University - Dasmarinas. Also, seeing the final effect of our formation on National TV as featured on ABS-CBN's TV Patrol was truly an inspiring feeling for me that even if I'm only a dot on the more than 10,000 human star, I was a part of it! Unfortunately, I hadn't seen myself on the scenes taken from the parade though some of my friends were!

Here is the video of the TV Patrol Cover of De La Salle University - Dasmariñas' World's Biggest Human LaSallian Star Formation. Thanks to TV Patrol and ABS-CBN.

Skywatch Friday

Photo Shot last Wednesday at 18:10

This was shot beside the highway on Tagaytay, I was again uplifted by the Colors of that day's Twilight. It was cold that time while we were waiting for our food.

I missed Skywatch Friday so much that I decided to join again. I just hope you guys would like it. And my exams went off earlier as I took the last one, Physics. It was actually great because our Prof gave us a good and tolerable exmaination. Thanks to him.

You can also view shots of the sky from around the world by visiting Skywatch Friday God Bless us all and Have a great and Wonderful Weekend!

Little Souls

February 5, 2009

This photo was taken Yesterday at 17:43

This is the Little Souls Convent which can be found in Tagaytay City found still in Cavite's Highlands. It is very much solemn here and what me and my mom like about it is that not like other convents and churches in Tagaytay, this remained peaceful and not overrated which adds to the place's silence wherein you can truly be with God even in a few moments of praying here.

Tomorrow is the last day of our Midterm exams and of course, they saved the worst for last, Physics. So please pray for all of the students who will take their exams including me as well. God Bless us all and may we have a happy weekend!

By the way, I went back to my borderless photos hope you like it coz it feels refreshing to me^^

Afternoon Glare

February 2, 2009

Photo Shot at 17:20

The photo was taken on the edge of the jeepney on my way home from the University. It is a cold afternoon and even until now while I am typing these, it's still cold in here but it was a clear, fine afternoon earlier as you can see in the photo that was taken by my Camera Phone again. It was a bit blurry for me because the ride was a bit bumpy but I personally love the suns glare on the photo.

It was the First Day of the Midterm examinations and For Computer Science Juniors, Only one exam was scheduled for us, ASP.NET Programming. The exam went well and I just hope that I was not clumsy again this time on my SQL Commands.

Starting today, I will be including in my posts some lessons and random thoughts that I feel for the day. I hope it can help, teach or even inspire us all. Have a great week ahead!

I missed everyone!

January 30, 2009

Photo Taken earlier 14:53

First of all, I missed you all so much! I have posted again after more than two months of being busy for our Thesis. I even felt guilty for not sharing you photos during the holiday! I am very sorry but right now, I guess I can get back a bit more often again to blogging!

This photo was shot earlier at my University, DLSU-D, while I was waiting for my cousin. I don't know what kind of plant this is but if you do, your infos will be greatly appreciated! The flowers look thistly and icy but of course, there's no ice here in the Philippines!

I got bored and tried using the camera of my phone. I love macro shots and searched if ever there is a setting for it on my Nokia 3600 but then I haven't been able to see it. But then, I experimented with its auto-focus and shot prematurely on the close-up subject and it did work. My classmates told me that the photo was gorgeous so I got the inspiration to post it right now. By the way, On my next attempts to do that accidental macro shot, I failed and failed. I'll just experiment more on my camera phone again and again!

I am here because we have just submitted the final copy of the first four chapters of our Thesis. It is a System Proposal for a Network Based Payroll on one of the Municipalities here in Cavite. We hope we could pass the Defense scheduled on February 20 and proceed to the next step, creating the actual system.

God Bless us all and I hope to post again very soon! Who knows, I might be here again tomorrow! Hope I still have a slot on your thoughts and accept my appologies for my absences. Happy weekend!

Still Sailing

November 26, 2008

Photo above is no other than your service.

This shot was made of boredom one Saturday Sunset almost a year ago. I shot this on our rooftop's stairs to the fourth floor. I seldom shoot people shots as you can see if ever you have been an avid fan of my blog and that makes my own shots much more infrequent. But if ever I've got the chance, I want to try portraits of people.

By the way, I just want to tell everyone that I really really feel bad not joining you guys here for almost a month already. This is just the start of the hardest months or year maybe, of my school life. Our Undergraduate Thesis wherein we will be finding a company (Quite a large one) and Formulate an Information system based on their transactional process. This study has been starting for three weeks already and will end (hopefully if we will pass) next year, October.

But until now, after a series of Unfortunate events, we still haven't find a very sure company that will be there for us in the helps of studying and creating the information system for them. We are about to choose the Network based Payroll System, together with my two group mates. It is one of the hardest of the benchmark but in this years competition for finding the companies, this holds one of the most number of possible companies.

So again, I am hoping for all your prayers because for students like us, it is very hard especially that our University is expecting way way more than what they have fed us academically. I know it is going to be very hard but that's the only way to graduate. So May God help us in this very long journey and Bless us all! Hope to post again very soon!

Corregidor Island Series - Battery Way

November 3b, 2008

As you can see, This place is another one of the many Batteries that can be found in the Island. In the photo above, you can see the communication room. This room is very much important because the soldiers here direct the soldiers on the canons the length and the angular displacement needed for the canons to be shot. Spotters are also located around the island and communicate here via telephone lines.

November 3a, 2008

You can see in the photo above is one of the canons inside the battery way. As you can see, Battery Way is enclosed by a three sided thick wall (The communication room sevres as the fourth of the square). That's why it is very hard for these soldiers to launch their shots due to the enclosure of the Battery.

I hope you enjoyed my week-long Corregidor Island Series. We enjoyed the trip so much and I just hope that every viewer of my Series have felt the fun, awe and inspiration of scenes, structures and stories that were left by the war. We can truly learn so much from these things. Thank you so much for viewing the series and I hope you'll come back for more exciting things around Cavite.
