I can't believe that it has been a year already. The past 365days surely went by so quickly, it just feels like yesterday that i tortured myself to sleepless nights of planning about what to blog, taking paparazzi-like shots in the campus, composing journal entries for UAPAK, replying to readers' comments and waiting for the verdict of our grades for Interactive Marketing via different metric systems... And yet, i must accept that those were all in the past and a new batch of "forced" bloggers from UA&P's 4th year IMC are now asking me to link them and begging me to read and comment on their entries. *shivers* Déja vu!!!
But, enough about me and my nostalgic stories. The limelight is for the newbies, the new batch of Interactive Marketers for the year 2007-2008. So, let's welcome them, visit their sites and tell them our opinion by giving them a proper comment or two:
1. World Vision = http://urworldvision.blogspot.com/
This blog is a place where you can share YOUR vision about your community, your country, and our world. They regularly have new topics that may cater to your interest and they are encouraging you to share your views through comments. Also, this blog gives you the opportunity to make your world vision come true through your donations. The group is inviting all of us to dream with them through sharing YOUR WORLD VISION, there in OUR blog.
PLUS: they've got a nifty little contest going on until Feb.29, 2008.
2. IMC I AM STRONG = http://imciamstrong.blogspot.com/
This blog is in support of the I AM S.T.R.O.N.G organization and is dedicated to help the youth in their day-to-day decision-making. Topics discussed here are about life, relationships (family, friendship, love), school, and virtually anything under the sun that concerns the youth. They serve as ATEs and KUYAs from the University of Asia and the Pacific (UA&P) and are here to guide teenagers through different situations and help them make the right decisions. Although, I AM STRONG is generally a VALUES FORMATION PROGRAM which seeks to equip the young with values and guide them in acquiring the proper framework with which to assess real-life issues and situations. Issues related to teenage life, tips to being a more responsible individual and announcements of other values formation events are to be regularly posted because the group's beneficiaries are highschool students.
3. UA&P Project ISKO = http://uapprojectisko.blogspot.com/
The members are all advocates of ISKO, the scholars' organization of UA&P. They want to generate awareness for the projects of ISKO to get support from the UA&P community, and others who are willing to support their causes. Basically, Project ISKO is all about helping scholars help others. The bloggers hope to get our support for the achievement of their goals.
Read. React. Donate. This is UA&P Project ISKO.
4. I KEEP LOVE REAL = http://ikeeplovereal.blogspot.com/
This site is a hodgepodge of articles, videos, photos and neat facts about true love and related factors. Based from the beneficiary's website: Not many people understand what real love is…We’re bombarded with too many confusing messages… It is perhaps about time to speak about love really is. Real love is a decision to treat ourselves and others with respect and not use another for our own wants or needs.
This may be the main goal of this blogsite. To spread the true meaning of what real love is and should be.
5. I SHARE HAPPINESS = http://www.isharehappiness.blogspot.com/
The writers in this site believes that happiness can mean different things to each person. it can be love, money, success, etc. But what they believed most is that we feel happiest when happiness is shared. They also believe that happiness is a powerful tool within, that what it can bring is something that is of value. To take that further, their blog's beneficiary is the Make-A-Wish-Foundation and through the readers' donations, the group would be able to grant wishes of terminally ill children. The group envisions this blog to be a venue of positivism.
PLUS: just like World Vision, this group is also offering a nifty little contest going on until March 24, 2008.
There you go my dearest blog lovers! Enjoy and please support them... for I too, have experienced what they're going through and i tell yah, it's not a pretty battleground.

My last day as an IMC student…
…reminded me that 1) my future, the “real world” that I have been preparing for since I was a child is just a month away; 2) art and communications are just means to an end and not the goal itself; and lastly, 3) I love everybody who became part of my academic life.
Some may be wondering why I already experienced my last day in IMC. The semester is not yet over. I still need to attend 1 more subject twice a week and still need to answer all those math exercises. But since I cross-enrolled and I’m currently taking up accounting under the Management course, it doesn’t really count as IMC. And… This morning, at exactly 10:51 AM of September 4, 2007, beloved Mr. Jason de Villa (Communication Society professor under the Integrated Marketing Communications course), my last IMC professor, decided to give his “last lecture” for the class. He decided it would be best to just end early with the readings, lectures and quizzes to give a month’s time of preparation for our (grand) finals paper, which is due this October. ;p
I know I should be happy because… No more waking up early every Tuesday morning. No more riding with Marie and her morning high bloods whenever we hit the permanently traffic roads in Metro Manila. No more panic-filled rides to school whenever I leave the house a bit delayed than originally planned. No more meetings with crazy group-mates who endlessly discuss and argue over presentations. But, beside all of that newly gained convenience, I am not 100% celebratory about that supposedly festive moment, I can’t help but be filled with mixed emotions of worry, sadness, guilt and panic. Yes, only one more paper to think about, but I am worried that this is my last paper for the course and that I might not be able to produce something really valuable. I am saddened by the fact that my last semester with the School of Communications ended all too anti-climactically. I also felt guilty because I realized that this is the last semester I’d be staying in college and I still wasn’t able to deliver the best that I have to offer, c/o the little thing called slacking off. And lastly, I felt panicky, the kind that seems as if I am about to experience palpitations. This is from fact that after that final paper for CommSoc, I must think about my future or my “real life” as many would call it.
Good thing that Sir Jason has this perfect sense of timing. Just when I am ready to turn on my emo mode or “emode,” he made me calm down a bit (a bit only because I am still in panic mode) and re-think my values, beliefs and goals in life. He reminded the class that people communicate because, as we endlessly quote Plato, “man is naturally a social being” and that we cannot survive in this world without interacting with our fellow human beings. In addition, communication is but a means of sending a message. Art is just the same thing. Photography should not be hollow with meaning and always taken as a visual end. The last lecture reminded me why I love taking photographs. I was magically transported to the time when I first tried to capture a photograph without asking my subjects to say “cheese.” I am reminded that I love clicking the camera because I do not only want to keep a record of time capsules, but rather a proof of a priceless moment of existence. I love photography more than other because it is my means of sending a message. I love taking photos because usually I love the subjects in it, whether they are people, places or objects. I love photography because most of the time, they remind me of things to be thankful for. I love the arts because it reminds me what I have learned from the beautiful people in my life.
And for that… I offer this blog as my gratitude to everybody…Thank you to all who has “communed” with me!

UAPAK!!!
UAPak!!! Hindi ito "sound effect" sa bawat sapak ni batman o robin sa live-action series noong 1960's (at aminin mong napanood mo yun kahit isang beses). Hindi rin ang hagod sa bawat mala-yelong lagok ng san mig strong ice.. NGUNIT.. eto ang encounter na nararapat lagyan ng sound effects sa pagiging up-close (& personal) na siguradong may tama sa puso...bisitahin nyo na lang!
