Twilight again, no matter how good the day was, it always have to end."
Marj ended this event with a heart-warming quote that made us all fulfilled. =)


SAMASKOlloquium was a blast. We had so much fun preparing for it until the event itself. As one of the head committee of the Audience team, I am required to encourage audience to participate on the forum which I’ve done very well. (Assuming! =)) I just had a bit hard time to make them quiet on set of the forum but as the speakers began their talk, every one of us listened. For the first batch of speakers, I got impressed on how they talked (Well, as always, even when they were still students =)) Melford and Mike were really good speakers, they had share their experiences to us after graduation in a organized manner, I learned that getting a job nowadays is never easy. It’s really tough to face the real world. Joowon also tried her very best to share her experience that caught our attention. For the second batch of speakers, they had tell their stories when they were still students, on how they matured from being bullies way back in college to being the professionals they are right now. Karen has always been my favorite speaker, mentor and trainer, her diction is always great. Her sense of humor made her talk more interesting, and up until now, I can’t recover to what she said when the room is getting hotter (because of the brownout!), “Is it really hot or it’s just me?” (WTF!)
The last batch of speakers inspired me to be more persistent in achieving my goals and finishing my studies. When RR started his talk, I can never imagined how genuine is, what I mean is that, while he is talking, I see myself being like him after graduation. His attitudes back then to now, is similar to what I am doing right now. My mom, who has always been my idol made me cry that day, I did not expect that she would share to us our personal stories in the family, I feel overwhelmed knowing that she never commend me when we are together but that day she made me feel like a star, like I’m on top. I’m very happy to know that my mother is proud to what I have achieved. I never forget what my mom always tells me, “Nak, kung san ka Masaya dun din ako masaya. Tapusin mo ang pagaaral mo kasi yan ang isang bagay na mapagmamalaki mo sa mga magiging anak mo at sa ibang tao. Kapag may pinagaralan ka, hinding hindi ka maaapakan ng ibang tao at pag alam mong tama ka at nasa katwiran ka, wag kang mahihiya. Tandaan mo yan.”
Sir Peter’s talk had motivated me to become a writer someday. He discussed three points that made me more attractive to becoming one; first, Learn to prioritize your writing; second, It’s not always Manila or money; third, Learn to give back. Learn to deal with your job, maximize your talents and skills, be productive and never stop until what you get what you want. You should always look back to where you have started and never fail to thank the people who have helped you out in becoming the best person as you are. He made Mass Comm a new definition for excellence.

Mass comm is not just for broadcasting, journalism, public relations and all that, it’s up to you on how you will pursue it and how you will succeed on your chosen career. Be globally competitive and grab every opportunity that comes. Go for the job that will enhance your comprehensive skills and have a SMART goal.
(S-Specific M-Measurable A-attainable R-Realistic T-Time bound). Be yourself and be confident of what you are. Confidence is one thing that would open you to a lot of things. It’s not what you achieved in college, its how you sell yourself and personality; learn from your mistakes to do better. =)


Much has been said. The semester has ended; I would like to thank everyone whom I shared this sem with. You made this sem one-of-a-kind! To my classmates, who completed my Junior year with a smile. (Goodluck sa kanya kanya nating OJT! Sana maging successful. I’ll miss you all!) To my FAB (Puhr, Bitch, Parps, Fren, Marj, Sah, Athens, Bes, Dady Pat) who never failed to make my day – unending friendship to you all! To Ma’am V, thank you so much for the lessons you have taught me academically and personally. For sharing to us your knowledge and being the best professor that you could be. Looking forward to our senior year being with you=))

KUDOS to everyone =))
Have fun under the sun this summer!
