shed my tears with GLITTER. :' )


I'm a prisoner today, so I decided to sit  in front of my television and scanned channels. I stopped by star movies and since I have nothing to do, I watched Glitter starred by Mariah Carey and Max Beesley. Tragic movie! This was the second time I've watched this movie and I still can't help but cry, reaaaally hard! x(



Music does bring people together, especially when they are deeply in love with each other. Tough life for them because too many fights and conflicts came along their way. This wasn't a happily ever after for Billie (Mariah) and Dice (Max) but the love they had for each other was true and irreplaceable. One thing I've learned from this movie is NEVER TAKE SOMETHING OR SOMEONE FOR GRANTED BECAUSE YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU MIGHT LOSE THEM. :\\ not getting too emotional, so enough of the drama. Lol, :)) 






I am so into the song "Never too far" which I've heard first in the movie, Glitter.. here's a video from the movie where Mariah Carey sang fantastically!

If I were the next AdDU's president...

There are so much changes happening in our world and these changes are caused by humanity. Ateneo de Davao University must also abide to these changes in order to meet the needs and expectations of the human race. Next school year will be a “NEW school year” for the Ateneans not only because they’ll be taking up new subjects but also because a new president will facilitate the University, Fr. Joel E. Tabora S.J. Ateneans will be expecting some changes that Fr. Tabora will implement, but what would these changes be?


Given the chance, I would be suggesting a “MUST-DO” on the teachers, students, and the Ateneo community.

Teachers must check the attendance of their students for proper monitoring of absences. Ateneans are known to be responsible students; therefore they must be aware of their class participation and I’m sure that checking the students’ attendance will not be much of a burden to the teachers.

As for the students, it has been long noticed that majority of male students aren’t wearing the proper and complete uniform. We all know that in college, freedom is being evidently practiced. No one is against practicing the right kind of freedom but students in AdDU are still required to abide in the rules and regulations of the school. The logo pins of the school must be worn and placed on the polo of the men. They should also be reminded that wearing of rubber shoes during class days (except Wednesdays) is prohibited. Female must also be aware of the proper uniform as prescribed by the university. Security guards will be reminded that students with incomplete and improper wearing of school uniform will strictly not be allowed to enter the school premises.

Another change that I would like to point out is that students will be allowed to use the Jubilee building’s elevator provided that priority will be given to the faculty and staff. There will be an elevator operator assigned in said area.


These changes are for the purpose of having a community that is flexible but at the same knows how to balance situations. As a Filipino, Catholic and Jesuit University, each member of the Ateneo community not only strives to reach the maximum potential of intellect, the hand and the heart in the service of others, but it also strives to seek change, Changes that will contribute to the development of the university and as well as the bigger community.

If you were in Fr. Tabora’s shoes, what changes would you wish to make?
