"Concierto Piyu-Otso Tres"

By: Nia Denise G. Pangue

    Far Eastern University celebrated its 83 years of existence, 83 years of unyielding excellence last January 21, 2011. One of the most awaited event on this celebration was the 83rd FEU Founding Anniversary Concert with the band Callalily and Pupil as the guest performers and Chris Tsuper and Jasmin Bazaar as the hosts. 

    During this day, students, faculty and staff were very excited for their most awaited time to come. It was only around three in the afternoon and yet, many were already gathered in the quadrangle and I can see the excitement on their faces. I, myself, was very early on that day just to make sure that I can have a good place as I watched them perform. Take note, I don't have class on that day but still I went at the school. That's how desperate I am to watch the concert live. 

    Hours had passed and the weather became not so clear until heavy rain poured out. The concert was supposed to start at 5 pm but because of the rain, it didn't start easily. Despite of the low flood in the quadrangle, people were still there with their umbrella waiting for the performers. Come 6, 7, and 8pm, we were still hoping that the concert will begin. As we wait, there was a news that Vice Ganda, a comedian and an alumnus of FEU, is inside the campus. According to hearsays, he was there because he wanted us, students of his alma matter, to enjoy with his jokes and to make us all groove with "Party! Party!"

  Due to non-stop rain, the concert was announced as cancelled. Of course, a lot felt sad but knowing that Callalily, Pupil, and Vice Ganda were on the campus, we all became alive. I saw the members of both band personally and for me it was an achievement. As a replacement for the songs they have prepared for us on the concert, they allowed the crowd to have picture taking. Sad to say, I wasn't able to bring my digital camera for I was in a hurry when I left home. I wasn't able to meet Vice Ganda but some of my friends met him.

 I described this event as a long,tiring, but very momentous event. I will never forget the time I saw Ely Buendia of Pupil band. After this, I called it a "Night!" 

Welcome 2011: Year of the Rabbit!

By: Nia Denise G. Pangue


   Surely I will miss all the memories I had in the 2010. But just like what mostly said, everything must come to an end to start a new beginning.
   In the morning of December 31, We (with my friends) went first to Luneta Park. We just have our side seeing. We stayed there until lunch time and at Jollibee near the place, we ate our lunch. As we got home, we helped our own Moms in preparing the needs and cooking the foods for the Medya Noche.
   As usual, I, together with my friends, monitored the countdown for the ending of 2010 and opening of 2011. Come 9:30 in the evening, we have started our session or I should say "drinking session". We drunk Red Wine and White Wine. Part of that, we also enjoyed singing on the karaoke. But after how many hours, we got tired in singing. Some voices were already husky. We decided to open the dance floor with the updated rnb songs. There we have the PARTY! PARTY! We go dancing and dancing and drinking. All of us enjoyed the party. 20 minutes before 12:00, we went outside our houses and watched the different fireworks. All are happy seeing many colors on the clouds most especially the kids in our place. 10 seconds before 2010 ends, we started counting and so on th 12 midnight, many are shouting aloud and are jumping because of the belief that they will get taller. I brought outside our house "kaldero and sandok", bump to each other to make noise. After this, we ate our medya noche meal.
  On the first day of January 2011, we went to Novaliches, my grandparents' place, to have our reunion on my father's side. Many things happened and in all things, we found happiness.
 The start of the year 2011 is indeed a wonderful opening. Like in Christmas, I celebrated the New Year with my family, friends, and of course with my man. :)

Happiness on Christmas Day 2010!

By: Nia Denise G. Pangue


   I can't express the happiness I had for the 2010 Christmas season. I can say that it is my most memorable Christmas Day in my seventeen years of life. I, together with my loved ones and friends, made a lot of things. We roamed within our place or location during the 24th of December and have the caroling! After the caroling, our feet were all aching and our voices became husky. Despite of this, we are very happy because of the amount of money we have collected.
  We lend the money we have collected for the prizes and for other stuffs that we used for our Christmas party that was held on the 25th of December. Our party started 5:00 in the afternoon with the games for the kids. 7:30 pm, the adults began with the parlor games. Some of the games are trip to Jerusalem, longest breath, Calamansi Relay, Saluhang Itlog (for adults), Paper Dance, etc. After the games for every division, we have our exchange gifts and proceed with our dinner. The last part, the most awaited part is the PARTY! PARTY! We all enjoyed dancing in the middle of our own dance floor.
  The most Happiness I have on the Christmas Day is the bonding of our family. We alloted time for sharing stories, giving jokes, and so on and so forth. Lastly is that, on that day, I am with my man! (which I do not have last 2009 Christmas Day).
