Election 2007

It was my first time to attend a proclamation rally of the well-known politicians in our country. the proclamation rally was held at the Convention Center in San Fernando, Pampanga on February 20,2007.

we are required to attend the proclamation rally of the "TEAM UNITY" at San Fernando, Pampanga because our teacher in Communication 7 asked us to do a stand up reporting on the said event. Our call time was 10 am because our teacher has to orient and inform us on what to do.

Our teacher asked us to prepare at least 3 sets of questions for the senatorial candidates and another 3 sets of questions for the audience.

We left the school at around 1 pm. Supposedly, the proclamation rally will be held at Expo Filipino, Clark Field, Pampanga but for some reasons, it was moved in San fernando. we used the school in going to the said place. the bus made me feel dizzy that's why I was not comfortable with it. It was even hot because we were all wearing a semi-formal clothes. I was not feeling well during that time.

As we arrived at teh Convention Center, the place was too crowded. The people were all try6ing to enter at the Convention Center maybe because they just want to see the popular people from our place. The atmosphere was not that good. Some of the teachers in AUF (Angeles University Foundation) not to go or enter the Convention Center because we might get hurt or something bad might happened on the place. Our teacher in Comm. 7 still decide to go in but not to have our stand report but instead, to witness and observe the event and the people who were there.

As I entered the lobby of the Convention Center, I saw some officials giving some boxes to the people who were there. I wonder what were those boxes for and what weer inside of the boxes that made the people pushed each other and kept entering the Convention Center despite of the hotness and crowd.

The people were shouting as I entered the Convention Center proper. It was Cesar Montano, one of the senatorial candidates in the TEAM UNITY, who was delivering his speech. Iwas not listening with his speech, Iwas just observing other people who were there. I saw some people who were jusy chatting with their seatmates, some were clapping their hands while the speaker was delivering his speech, some were just looking around and some were listening. I noticed that the politicians has their own jingle like for example, Zubiri's jingle was "Boomtaratarat". The politicians were using popular songs songs for them to be easily remembered.

I observed that among the senatorial candidates present on the said event, Cesar Montano has the biggest number of fans. Cesar has received the loudest yell among the audience. I realized that Cesar has a big possibility to win on the 2007 election because he was popular.

We stayed in the convention center for about 2 hours or less because one of tmy classmates got dizzy and she can't handle it anymore. As we went out of the convention center, I felt again the heat of the sun and I smelled the not so good odor of the people who were pushing each other. It was the most tiring day I had for this semester. On our way to the bus, we stopped over a store to have something to drink because the bus was far from the convention center and we had to walk under the extreme heat of the sun.

It was a good experience to attend such kind of event because as a mass communication student, we had to be exposed in such kind of crowd and such kind of environment. It was also bad for us, students, because accidents might occur on that place and our teacher might not attend all of us at the same time.

Fortunately, nothing bad happened with us and in the said event. Everything was turned out fine despite of the crowd.

Am I really asking too much?


Why is it hard for them to understand me? I don’t see anything wrong about what I’m doing. All I wanted to do is to teach them to stand on their own. I don’t like to see them depending on others because not all the time, people are around and always available for them. I’m not turning my back on them, I’m just thinking about their future. What if I’m gone?

You might think that I’m a big-headed person because I’m the only person that you can count on. I never thought of that in my entire life, hope you know that. If you only knew, I’m always thinking about you, all the time! Am I just pretending that I’m a responsible daughter and a sister? Sometimes I feel like I’m just nothing in this world. I hope someday, I could feel my worth. I hope that you appreciate the little things I do for you.

Why am I too emotional about this, maybe because I was hurt. All I’m asking is to understand me. Maybe you’ll never understand me because you really don’t know what’s inside me. You really don’t know what’s on my mind. You really don’t know what’s happening in school. You don’t know the pressure I have in school. I know you’re tired too but I think I’m more tired than what you think.

Sometimes I want to fight back but I just can’t because I don’t want an argument. I don’t want you to get hurt. I don’t want to fight you back simply because I love you. You’re my world dude.. hehe

I’m hoping that my wounds are gone tomorrow, so that I can work properly. I hate this feeling! My head aches and my heart too. Come on! Now tell me, am I really asking too much? I hope not.

I’m the 2nd eldest among the five children. My elder sister has her own job and family. My elder sister and her son are living with us. My parents are working too and my nephew is being taken care of by the maid during the week days. The jobs of the maid are to clean the house, wash the clothes, look after my nephew and feed him. I’m the one who’s responsible for his bath, vitamins and many more. Most of the time his with me and sometimes I feel like I’m his mother.

My nephew is sleeping with my parents. Everytime my parents go to work, they ask me to sleep beside my nephew. Around 10 am, I have to bathe him because I have my class at 12 noon. I’m also responsible in cleaning him up before sleeping at night and in brushing his teeth. I’m also responsible with the assignment of my twin brothers. Before dinner, I see to it that their assignments are done and checked if their answers are correct.

Of course I do have responsibility with my studies and self too. I have to do my assignments, projects, reporting and so many requirements. These requirements of mine are not that easy. Sometimes it will take me a 2-3 sleepless nights before finishing it. Though it’s difficult, I’m still enjoying my studies. I also see to it that I have time with my friends though sometimes I don’t go with them because I have something to do at home.

My parents are only asking us to finish our studies, that’s why I’m striving hard to finish my studies and see them happy. My elder sister didn’t finish her study that’s why my parents are looking forward on me. I want to see my parents happy and I don’t want to disappoint them. The biggest fear in my life is to disappoint my parents and see them crying because of me. I love my parents more than myself.

I love it when my family asks help from me. Everytime they ask help from me, I feel like I have the purpose in our family and in the world. I’m overwhelmed everytime my family asks me to do something for them because I feel that I’m trustworthy.

How I wish time runs fast so that I can overcome all these worries that I have. I have a lot of responsibilities in our family and I have nothing against that. I love helping my family though sometimes it’s tiring. Most of the time, people say that I will not get marry because I’m so devoted with my family. Sometimes I see myself giving up with so many problems in school but I just have to fight because I have my goal. My main goal in life is to see my parents proud of me because I’m graduating and that to see them proud of their selves because after all the sufferings and hard works they did, finally, I’m graduating.

I wanted to give back to my parents the love, sufferings, care and hardships that they gave us, specially me. I’m not vocal about my feelings and I’ m not showy too. People may see me dry but deep inside I’m not. I just can’t express myself. I don’t like my family to see me crying, hurt, giving up, worried, unhappy because I don’t like to see them worried about me.

I’m just an ordinary person living in an ordinary world. I often cry all by myself because of so many problems. I have problems that people wouldn’t know. I have problems that my family & friends do not know. They may see me laughing at all times, cheering up other people but deep within me, there’s something wrong. Anyway, I can handle myself. I’m not saying that I don’t need them it’s just that I’m used to it. I’m used to solve my own problems. I’m used to keep my problems only to myself.

I love my family. They give me strength and courage to go own with my life. They are my inspiration. Everything I do is all for them. üüü

The best VJ Hunt ever produced!

I didn't expect that our production would be as an extravagant as it was. All I know was that,, we, the ABMC 3 and other SAMASKOM officers, gave our best and we did everything just to make that production successful.

I'm so proud of MARIANE CRUZ. She designed the stage and even the posters. it was her idea that's why we came up with that kind of stage ang all other stuffs like the trophy, the vtr and etc. She worked very hard in preparing for the props that were needed for the set.

Mariane Cruz wouldn't finished all the work without our help, ABMC 3. We worked hand in hand just to prove that we can make it even without the help of mmc. Honestly, we were asking help from the mmc but unfortunately, they did not help us. It was tiring but we enjoyed doing the work because we supported each other and I realized that no matter how hard a project/work is, as long as your groupmates work hand in hand and has unity, you will always come up with a good job.

I'm also proud of GEAN MENDOZA. He worked very hard in organizing such kind of production. He often absent himself in our class just to settle things regarding the VJ HUnt. His work was not that easy, he visited almost all schools in Angeles City just to ask them to join the competition. He did a great job.

" To Gean and to all Abmc 3 and SAMASKOM officers, Congratulations, you did a great job, that's the best VJ hunt ever produced at AUF, I'm so proud of you, that would be your midterm exam in comm 7, you all deserve 100% unless gean gives a seperateevaluation" - Mam Virgie's Message to us.
