Mamma Mia

Watching Mamma Mia last night was in fact inspirational in a sense.  It was also an eye opener.
Inspirational because of how they pulled it off and how amazing it ended up.  An eye opener because we need to start brainstorming ideas on our own production but as well as thinking about the cost.

Camille did an amazing job because my friends and I had watched the gala.  She was spectacular.  The only thing that bothered me a little was the way they talked sometimes.  Sometimes it was too fast and maybe it was due to the microphone but the effect of the mic made it extremely difficult to understand what they were saying like in the scene with Sophie and her two friends.

Overall, job well done to the 3rd years.  It was ABBA-solutely fab :)

August 10, 2012 3:47p.m this is Concepcion Cruz blogging, and having a survival on college life ... 

3 days have past, we still don't have classes yet.. It won't stop raining, many places have been flooded, i'm lucky enough that my place is unreachable by flood. As days past, it's so unbearable not to see my friends each day. I missed them so much, i can't take the loneliness anymore but still i need to be tough to face everyday of my life...

Concepcion Cruz survived the second post ........ more are coming.

Philippines Floods. Monsoon. Lightning. Thunder.

Okay so this is getting pretty bad.  Classes got suspended today and for tomorrow due to some majorly intense rain (redundant I know). But it’s absolutely ridiculous.  I never thought in my life that I would be witness or actually be a part of something like this.  Not that this is something to be proud of.  Here in Manila, we are already on Red Alert meaning the response is evacuation.  There have been landslides and areas of calamity.  Right now the thunder and lightning are actually scaring me. :(  If only you could hear the rain outside my house right now.  And it’s not even that bad where I’m at.  Some of my friends live in areas where the water is already chest deep.  WHO KNOWS! Maybe it’s already above that level.  Pray for the Philippines.  This is really scary.  The amount of rainfall has already surpassed that of Ondoy.  The only difference is that the rain actually stops every now and then but all of a sudden it’ll start back up. No warning. People have already died.  Houses have been raided with water.  Cars have sunk.  There’s even a picture of someone using a jetski in the streets! COME ON REALLY?! As in that was the mode of transportation.  This is ridiculous.  It’s midterms week too but that’ll be moved.  Pray for us.  

Also, people should really stop saying it’s more fun in the Philippines.  What’s so fun about water levels at dangerous levels, people dying, classes being cancelled, etc. etc.

OHMYGULAY THAT THUNDER SOUNDED LIKE A FREAKING BOMB. I LITERALLY JUMPED. 

Little rain, big rainbow

We need not worry about everything, life is tough and the challenges we face make us weary, but we are shaped by these experiences and we become stronger persons... Sometimes, a little rain is all it takes for us to start realizing how wonderful and valuable life is.. so smile and take care! =)

XoXo,

Brace Yourselves

      These past few weeks have been unpredictable like the typhoon Gener. The only predictable thing now is that MIDTERM IS COMING. So, I would like to share this wonderful quote,
