So ive been whaaaatt 3 years in college and 3 years in joining the Paskuhan celebration.
Paskuhan is the annual Christmas Party for all Thomasians...uhm for everybody. It's like a big gathering of Thomasians, non-thomasians, jejes, rakistas, emos, punks, and the likes. Many bands, artists, and students perform in the UST Grandstand and the audience owns the dusty UST Field. It's quite fun but it's extra fun for the JJs (Jumping Jologs) who love rakenroll. Plus the aura of the place is an awe! UST's beauty really shines every night of December--with those Christmas lights and decors all over campus. Talagang Paskong-pasko ang feel ng bawat Tomasino!
SOOOO... here's me in my past 3 Paskuhan Years:

| My iAM Family |
On my first year, I was with the first year blockmates. Twas really fuuuuuun! I enjoyed jumping and screaming especially when the song played was familiar to me. My blockies were surprised to see me on a party mode...Di sila sanay. Kala nila nerdy-nerdy lang ako, Mehhh. Sanay rin akong pumarty no! ha ha. I was a rock enthusiast back then...until now naman kaso hindi na ako mega-showy (excpet na lang siguro kapag favorite ko talaga yung band).

In 2010, I was still with them. haha. I also brought my cousin Eunice this year. The performances were very special since it was the start of the Quadricentennial Celebration of UST. Not only bands perform, there were also many popular artists like Beverly Salviejo and Sweet Lapus, who were also alumni of the University, who made the night alive and funny for everybody present.

I am happy with what I wore and what I looked this year!!! haha. Finally, womanhood!!! Unti-unti ko nang nararating. I can do this, baby steps! Next year, ill wear a bonggang bonggang gown para ganap na akong babae! hohoho. I kid! I celebrated Paskuhan with my cousins Eunice and Elaine. Originally, we were with Sheena, Karen, and Junald. Kaso they disappeared like vamps into the night :( And then the next plan was to party with my IAM friends again but the networks were sucky as usual. We got tired of looking for them so instead we chilled out in Starbucks after the program. This is the first Paskuhan na maayos yung itsura ko sa picture, hindi mukhang nerdy nerdy or tomboy! haha. May bonus pa akong picture with Jeric Fortuna (bottom right)!

Hello!!! This is my current playlist--some songs are new and some are old. As of now, these are the songs the topped my taste. But the single that reached the highest level of my likeness is Taylor Swift's CHANGE. Sa sobrang pagkagusto ko nga dito, nagrecord pa ako ng sarili kong version.
I dedicate this song to all my followers and readers, and to my future followers and readers! I am not even sure if this will gain me a follower...baka mabawasan pa! hoho. Im so sorryy! I sounded like a frog...pero at least I really put effort on recording this one. I had 6 trials, i even ninjad for a quiet place and by quiet I mean wala dapat taong makakakita sa akin. I hope it made you smile naman...OK lang sakin matawa ka. OK lang din naman mainis ka. Kasi kahit ako nainis. hoho. I still thank God, tho He didnt bless me with a voice of a diva, binigyan pa rin Nya ako ng makapal na mukha para gawin to! wahaha
I hope I wont get tired listening to these songs. Bilib talaga ako sa mga composers--they never ran out of new ideas! Man, ang hirap kaya maging orig! I salute you people, continue making songs for my happy ears! hoho.
P.S.
I'm still human...wag po sana magbabago tingin nyo sa akin. hihihi <3

The experience was really scary. I was already thinking of what's gonna happen next. What if the firemen wasn't able to stop the fire? What if the fire spread all over the house? Whats gonna happen to us? Whats gonna happen to me? Where do we live? Can I still graduate? Whats the future awaiting for me? Why God, why?
And then, I asked myself, Why did I asked the last question? In times of WHATS-GONNA, you are trapped in your own self-conceit. Conscious or not--you don't have any escape. I'm ashamed of myself to ask such question--i wanna slap my face or split myself into two. God has His reasons..and you are not in any position to question Him. In great distress, if you cannot physically help, find somewhere quiet, sit down, and pray for the capable people to find the strength they need to solve the problem, for everything to end up fine, for you to have the power to comfort those who are about to give up.
Despite the doubts and unfaithfulness, God remained with us. Our house stands strong, our store is in good shape and is blessed prosperously, I am still in College and will graduate in a year and a half, there's a bright future awaiting for me--I know this, because I know God loves me. God remains true and faithful in the face of my infidelity and vulnerability.
While I was busy surfing the net, I smelled something burning...something that irritated my nose...something that bothered me.

Today, I, together with my extended family, reminisce the reflective day of December 26.

| tuudduuuh! our store/house looked after the fire. We were forced to close for two days to get things fixed inside |
 |
| Right: Wet sacks of rice (near disposal). Left: The blown ceiling fan that caused the fire. |
 |
| Dust-filled store |
 |
| The ceiling/floor of our house's second level--almost there!!! |

| Damaged Goods |

even tho i wasn't able to catch the 'games'--palambutan ng talong at kainan ng marshmallows--im still lucky to be present during th exchange-gifts part.
Our gift-giving is different from the usual exchange gift, since we are new to each other, we should say our 'first impressions' first, before we reveal who we had drawn. So, Kevin--but I call him Laxa--so, Laxa was the first one to give his gift. If my memory serves me right, I remembered him said, "Nung second year...'Aba ang ganda nito ha.'" From everything he said, the important-maganda-sya part only registered. And the revelation...tananananananan! JANINA MERCADO, IKAW NABUNOT KO. Wee. I was flattered, but i dont think that's much of a revelation. Im maganda and everybody knows it. CHAROT. Kidding aside, I was happy with what Laxa gave me--two Paulo Coelho books (By the River Piedra, I sat down and wept and Veronika decides to die). It made me a happy happy bee!
I am lucky to draw Aly cos her wishes are easy to find. I bought her a pink blush in Forever 21. My first impression of her was a bratty-snob girl, but now I find her jolly and funny. Hoho. I love her accent--her tagalog and english sound the same! oha! sosyal!
I have to thank Ms. Patty Laurel for making me feel good on Christmas Eve. I thought I'd have a sad sad Christmas--God always...ALWAYS has His way of telling me/you I'm/you're special.
So in that spirit, I shall spread good vibes in this post.

Commerce Journal Christmas Special
In CJ, we annually celebrate a Christmas Party too. It's my second year to celebrate it with them. Last year it was crazy fun. This year, it was crazy-crazy fuuuuun (more kadiri pala)! well you can see it in the photos below:
So yeaaah. MADNESS all over the place. Thanks organizers! You really did your purpose--at yon ay BABUYIN KAMI. haha! Kidding. Well totoo naman pala talaga! :)) Let's forget about it and proceed to the exchange gifts.
I picked "Choki Choki" who had only two items on his wishlist: The Quants and a Parker Ballpen. When i was in the mall, my target was to buy the book cos i know it will cost me too much if i chose the ballpen. But God forbids, i ended up with Parker! haha. Well it's 79 more than the price deal. But it's fine. Choki choki turned out to be Paolo, whom i ranted out about the ballpen. #awkward
Ivan drawn me. And i am really happy with he gave me, very timely! A Fibrella Umbrella! wee! i lost mine so, i am really glad it's what he chose instead of the others. He told me he will add the Sans Rival next year. Pero umarte-arte pa akong ayaw ko kuno. haha sorry, shytype me! pero *crossedfingers* haha
Pamilee's Own Xmas party soooon! tagal mag-upload eh!
