JAM-TASTIC!: PORMANG SWEET'S SPELL BINDING FINALE

"The ramp rockers hit the stage for the final ramp ..."

A stellar evening of lights, music, flashes, and cheers from the crowd filled the CCC Auditorium last October 14, 2011. The event entitled "Poramang Sweet 2.0 -- Where Music Meets Fashion", once again shook the catwalk when the ramp rockers hit the stage for the final ramp. It was an acoustic night which featured a homegrown talent Jacq Perez and her friend Jackie Chavez, and DJ Megan of YES FM takes the center stage as an outstanding host.

It was not just your typical fashion show, as it unleashed the inner "model" of the students. The fashion show also showcased the beautiful creations of our local designers.

The show started at around 5:00pm and ended at around 8:00pm. Upon waiting, the organizers played a power-point presentation of the making of the pormang sweet, photos of the models were also included at the presentation. After a short while, the moment that we're all been waiting for had finally come.

Glamorous dresses, sparkling accessories, stilletos, sky-scraper heels and beautiful faces pick up the heat on the runway, anchored onto classic, nature-inspired pieces that provide just the right touch of rough 'n tumble to the mix.

Wild things sneak onto the catwalk , as the models rendered the sensual yet glamorous neutrals and textures that mix tribal chic with luxe psychedelia. Sparkling couture wowed the audience ia the first set of models evaded the catwalk, while Catherine Z. Amalia, a Second year BSED student serenade  the audience with her amusing voice singing three hit songs of today.

Liza Cacho, BSBA

Model from the High School Dept.

Partlets, roselettes, ripples, ribbons and wings captured the audience's rapport as the second set of models came to the center of attraction.

Jacq Perez, a CCC alumna makes the night more lovelier by singing songs that makes the audience go gaga. But, that doesn't end there, a captivating performance by Jackie Chavez was the next attraction of the show.

Driven, earnest, and ready to get down to the details was the next fashion feature of the show. Plucking creative ideas out of the air may seem like second nature for the designers, and in some ways it is; like most success stories their break came with a serendipitous twist.

The last part of the show was the awarding of the models who has the cut above the res. An enchanting BSBA student, Christine L. Galman was hailed as the Ms. Showbiz Social of the night, for being a crowd favorite. While the young model/student also from the BSBA class, Jordan Figuerroa was hailed as the Mr. Showbiz Social.

 Everyone had a goodnight after the show. But of course the whole evening would not be completed without the acknowledgement of the man behind the successful event, Mr. Samson grabbed the opportunity to thanked the people behind the Pormang Sweet 2.0. The teachers, models, organizers, designers, sponsors and the 3rd year BSOA students who put their hearts and soul to the said project.

The BSOA students

Over all the show was a total blast! Indeed it was the last Pormang Sweet and we'll have to wait till 2013 to witness another sure-fire fashion show, but this event will leave us with a valuable lesson, that style is defined by what someone wears, how someone looks, talks, acts, and carries himself. It's not about the clothes; it's the attitude and character that comes with it.

So ... 'til the next ramp! Ciao fashionistas!

Finding Your Wings : Fly to your heart

In a world far, far away from us ..there is a kingdom called "chromenesia" which means colors of colors. A fairy named Glitter lives with her chiibi friend named bibble in a large flower ,( larger than you could ever imagine!) in the Magic Meadow. BUT ... she is the ONLY fairy in chromenesia who has no wings, Glitter is then constantly teased by some of the other fairies. However, she has a friend named Charm who always defends her.

One day , Glitter and Charm found out that a theif stole their precious Rainbow Gem ,this gem sustains life in the Chromenesia, without it the whole Chromenesia would be nothing. Glitter also found out that their local Guardian Fairy, Topaz had been kidnapped. Topaz, is the keeper of the Yellow Gem, this Gem serves as their Sun without it Chromenesia will be in a graet danger. The colors then starts to fade and the fairies starts to feel sick, causing their wings to freez and making them unable to fly. The sickness spread so fast affecting all the creatures with wings, including Charm and Bibble. Glitter can't stand what was happening in  their kingdom, so she decided to make an action. Glitter goes off  in search of the closest guardian fairy and their Queen. Only to find out that all the guardian fairies with their Gems we're also kidnapped by an Evil Fairy named Fury. Fury want's to collect the seven Gems including the powerful Rainbow Gem, in order to take a revenge on her Twin sister, Crystal, the crowned queen of Chromenesia.

Glitter then sets off to find Topaz, and the other guardians and their Queen. Though terrified ,but gathering all her might Glitter fought Fury and defeated her. She saved the Queen as well as the seven gems and their guardians. And as a reward for being brave and having no second thought on helping, even those who tease her, the Queen gave her a butterfly necklace ..that grew into a beautiful fairy wings. YES, Glitter had the most beautiful and strongest wings that a fairy could ever have!

HAIKU

Rain falls, seeds sprout
Continues life from something
Small but strong, it grows.

In His Arms

We've been together from the very start
You promised me that we'll never part
But then you left me stranded
Here all alone in the darkness


It isn't easy to pretend i'm fine
Yes, I smile though it hurts from time to time
I just hide my tears so they won't show
Cause i'm the one whose really lost


Where is the man whom I've known for years?
Where is he now that I tremble in fears?
Cause now I can't remember anything
HAPPINESS NOW, SEEMED FAILED TO PREVAIL


Years had passed and days had changed
and it isn't easy to pretend
I'm tired of walking yet, I'm doing my best
To rest in his arms is my only request


But that would be impossible
Cause I've grown bitter more and more
Remembering rather than those awful memories
The pain seemed so permanent as it keeps me sane


Hatred remains in my heart
As the days continue to pass
Everyday I ask again, and again
The same question as yesterday


Where is the man whom cradled me
In his loving arms when I was a kid?
Where is he now, now that i need him most
DAD, I MISS YOU...IT'S ALL I KNOW


Well, I guess this is just how it goes, nothing's permanent yet you're close
Dad, I cried, as I wrote this piece
Cause, dad, in your arms I want to gently sleep
Like what I used to do when I was a kid.

A Promise From My Heart

It's been a few days now,

But still I don't know how,

How to stop my heart from missing you

When In my heart there's nothing but only YOU.

It hurts so bad to see you with someone else,

Dumbfounded, I can't do anything else

You're slowly walking together, yet you gave me a glimpse

Then suddenly it's as if my heart is going to glitch

Yes, maybe I'm just a dreamer

Cause i'm still hopng that we can be together

But then my heart is tired to try

Now, I can't do anything but to cry.

I LOVE YOU, can't you hear me?

I'm shouting and screaming it with a tear,

but then it's obvious that you don't need me at all

And I know that you'll never hear my call

 

So for now I guess I have to say GOODBYE

But pleas try to take a look in my eye

To see that though i cry

My love for YOU will NEVER DIE.

Life is an Endless Illusion

Can you think of yourself as a singer? A rocker chick that gives scream to every heart s that watches you as you rock the stage? Or have you ever look to the mirror and say "I'm going to be a photographer..", a photographer that will show people a world which is can't be seen by the human's naked eye, through your lenses. Or maybe you imagined yourself as a designer, designing A NEW FUTURE FOR THE FASHION WORLD. But try to get past on that moment. Close your eyes and picture yourself in front of a huge mirror, a looking glass. Picture that mirror as your portal toward your dreams. Picture that the moment that you're imagining was ACTUALLY happening right now. See how imagination works? Today, maybe all you can see is a reflection of a student wearing a school uniform, handling a bunch of books and nodding at every commands that your professor gives you , but always keep in mind that YOU, as the creator of your illusions can choose to have whatever things that you wanted to see in that mirror, and you CAN make it happen in the near future. YES, you can choose your life to be anything you can ever imagine.

As for me, I really love to daydream,. it's a part of my daily routine. I even imagined myself as a rockstar!  And as for now I would like you to experience what I am experiencing every time that I daydream. Now, let's start imagining...take a deep breath and close your eyes. Continue thinking, continue DREAMING and imagining. Look at yourself, imagine yourself achieving your goals. Imagine as freely and joyfully as you can. Picture that your wings are starting to spread across the walls, and you're reaching your dreams as you soar! Don't worry about being perfect...just imagine what you want with your life. Always keep in mind that JOY is the PERFECT PARTNER to your imagination. IMAGINE WITH JOY CREATE!

This is just how your life can be...joyfull, colorful...vivid! Just the way you wanted it to be! However, the key on your dreams is this: you have yo BELIEVE that it is possible. And you have to balieve you have the choice to make it so.

In our lives we  have the choice to make things lighter or we'll make it heavier. Do you want a better carrer? Then imagine it! And then, do it! Remember that the best way to better times is to imagine them.

Sound too simplistic? Sure it does..probably to most people who loves to daydream just like ME. I admit I AM A DREAMER. Cause it's too simple, yes the road that you will cross along your journey on achieving your dreams is not easy, but simple. It's just depends on your mindset, on how you view things. If you can imagine something for your life, TRUST ME...IT CAMN HAPPEN. You will just have to9 jump out your box, open up the dirty windows and let the sun illuminate you!

Then you have to take action in the direction of your dream, just take it one step at a time: you don't have to rush. A right action is a must. The manifestation of your dreams depends on how badly you desire and how hard you're willing to work for it. And most of all how strong you pray. Always keep in mind that  God is always there every step of the way.

You might very we;; have some nay sayers declare your dream to be impossible. But, no matter who he or she might be, even if it is one of your closest loved ones, DON'T LISTEN! Much has been writtena bout people with big dreams taht seemed impossible. Imagine the laughter and ridicule when Orville and Wilbur Wright tried to fly their first airplane? Now, who says you can't be the best, that you don't pass the tess? Listen to me, some inceredible accomplishments have been achieved by people who didn't listen to the negative thinkers. Obstacles can be overcomed! YOU HAVE TO FOCUS ON THAT IDEA.

Dream your dreams, work for it, only you can let it in...and only you can speak the words on your lips. It can't be too big, if you want it badly enough. Go for it!! WHO SAYS YOU'RE NOT WORTH IT?

Just A Dream

It was a cold Thursday night,
When I saw your face with delight.
You made me miss you more,
As you called my name once more.


A glimpse of you makes my heart leap,
A smile once again shine in my lips.
Maybe before it was "almost",
but now I know it's momentous.


Though filled with fright,
I hope with all my might
That this moment would last,
though it was so fast.


You held my trembling hands,
As you gave me a perfect slow dance.
We both don't utter any word, nor tell a sweet word.
Instead, we just held each other tight, as if it would be our last.


But then the music stopped.
And you, then gave me a glance.
Clueless, that's what I am feeling right now,
Yet, you smiled and wash away my frown.

You make this hopeless heart tremble with fears,
As you, then, gave me a kiss.
Then, that was the sign that you're going to leave.
As I open my eyes and wake up, it was JUST A DREAM.

A Rocker and A Teacher

 Okay class, listen up! Sit up straight, arrange your chairs and LET'S ROCK!

 Now, let's get it on! Red hair, dark eyeliner, gig shirt, black polish, metallic hand cuffs and a pair of headphones that screams the music of PARAMORE, HEY MONDAY and YELLOW CARD. Yes, quite inappropriate for a TEACHER, old pals even say that it is INDECENT for a future educator. "Oh, dear that's so shameful!" as they say...but let me ask you something, is your teaching skills measurable through your looks? Or, does the genre of music that you listen to affect your personality? It is, indeed a given statement that a teacher SHOULD BE a ROLE MODEL for the youth , then, having this kind of style and music genre SUBVERTS THE IMAGE OF AN EDUCATOR? And being a part of a band and becoming a ROCK STAR is NOT SUITABLE for a teacher?

 BEING AN EDUCATION STUDENT....Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in English, to be exact, I have A LOT of RULES to follow. Plus living on a convent with a bunch of nuns and girls with different attitudes and mindsets, it REALLY freaks me out! I have to do this, I have to do that...I have to be like this and that..BLAH, BLAH...and aside from working on to be a teacher, I have to set an image...but despite of all these nerve rocking things i also have my own aspiration and path to follow, and as for my heart...IT BELONGS TO THE FIELD OF MUSIC.

Having this kind of set up (lifestyle) it is really difficult for me to hold back my dreams and illusion that consumes me inside, but inspite of being busy or tired, I can always make time to practice and sing my heart out! And  I will never ever stop believing and doing something to pursue my dreams---for as long as I have the PASSION and  MUSIC is in my heart, IT WILL ALWAYS CALL YOU, and opportunities will come on you wherever you are...as my teacher once said: "BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF THINKING."

A Teacher is a very influential ICON to the eyes of young minds, while MUSIC is an art of mixed emotions and illusions that captivate and put our hearts under a spell. To others who doesn't appreciate music , they are RUBBISH---cause for them listening to rock or metal genres are all about they NOISE. But they doesn't reckon to each details, from the artful arrangements of tunes to the sound formed. Being appreciative to rough music is very efficacious to us young. Favorite bands like PARAMORE...

YELLOWCARD...

and HEY MONDAY...

can be very INFLUENTIAL from the way they dress, their style and the way they perform on the  flat form.

One quick advice, just DON'T look exactly sa them, REMEMBER that after all you're a TEACHER, you have to be a role model! DON'T MAKE ANY TROUBLE WHILE INSIDE THE CLASSROOM, DON'T ACT LIKE a Hayley Williams or a Cassadee in front of the class. Just keep in mind that you should work as a teacher and be responsible to mentain an image and BE A ROLE MODEL to INSPIRE  and TOUCH A LIFE.

Soon I'll be handling little angels and even little witches and demons. I can make use of music by using it as an inspiration for my teaching strategies, MUSIC will always be in my heart cause it has no limitations and boundaries for those who really loves it!

As well as teaching MUSICALITY is a GIFT that should be used well and RESPONSIBLY, thus, combining both makes a PERFECT HARMONY on my chosen field...EDUCATION, :) 

rock  on always!   

ROCK, PEACE, LOVE!

GOD BLESS! :)

The Pretentious

 Pretentious...as the Webster's dictionary says it is the act of making unwarranted or exaggerated claims to greatness or importance. In other words...it is bragging , to be boastful, to flaunt, to gloat or to strut. Why do people loves to BRAG anyway? They LOVE to say UNNECESSARY PHRASES...oh, how they love SCANDALOUS TALKS! Like these...
"Oh, as you can see I'm sooo pretty! No doubt on that!"
Yes, ma'am indeed, you are the most beautiful damsel, but you're just making yourself look as FREAK as a MONSTER when you brag about it.
"Oh my goodness...I can OBVIOUSLY do better than her! Look at this isn't it look great?"
Yes miss, YOU ARE AS INTELLIGENT as JIMMY NEUTRON but you're just making yourself sound STUPID THAN A RETARD. Remember, as the saying goes...
"PEOPLE WHO TELL YOU HOW SMART THEY ARE...AREN'T."

Are you satisfied? This is another one...
"Oh, too bad you doesn't have money...unlike me, wait let me buy this one for you."
Indeed, you are rich, but you're just letting us know how EMPTY your heart is.


Now...see how they let the air fill up their heads? Their heads are so full of air that it grew huge...so huge that they can't even realize that they're FLOATING. Always keep in mind that when you brag, you're NOT making yourself  look so SUPERIOR, rather, you're jist making FUN of yourself UNCONSCIOUSLY.


   Just apiece of advice ...if people applaud you and say "Oh, you're so good!" You don't have to put those stuffs on your head cause it will only cause you TROUBLE. Rather, put those on your FEET so that it will serve as your glue That WILL KEEP YOUR FEET ON THE GROUND. :)






CHEER UP! BE HUMBLE...
CAUSE WHEN YOU'RE ON THE GROUND,
THERE'S NO WAY BUT UP! :D


ROCK, PEACE, LOVE!

An Ode to DSLR Cameras

For as long as I can remember I have been using simple point-and-shoot digital cameras. They didn't have the greatest picture quality or zoom capabilities and were generally slow when taking consecutive pictures/charging up the flash. I had heard about DSLR cameras for years and took care

The Best Gift

     March 6, 1997, God gave me the best gift ever! I was four years old when I met him. We shared some qualities and that keeps me amazed. I can't barely remember how he first open his eyes but i know that it sparkles like mine! Though the memories of that day seemed to fade, I won't forget how happy I am to receive that gift.

    He was crazy, yet kind: I always picks on him but I love him with all my heart. He's always there to help me with my math problems, he completes the value of X without asking Y (why?). Though I'm four years older than him, he seemed mature, mature enough to understand me and my imperfections. He was indeed, the most wonderful gift, but it seems that my dad can't see it. Everyday he shouts at him as if every mistakes depend on him. It seems that he does not appreciate his works and don't understand his words. But these things didn't refrain him from loving my dad, cause he's kind in nature, and that's the reason why I love him more! yes, he was my BEST GIFT!


   He is tall..yes! Taller than me but his heart is small like his age, you'll see! Though his heart is small it can love you unceasingly, more than you've ever imagined! He was a witness to my tantrums, he tolerates my anger and does not complain. Though we always got ourselves into some little cat fights and little split hairs, he's always there and he never leave. He is the ONLY BOY WHO NEVER LEAVE ME, unlike the others who just broke my heart and leave. He is the BEST AND MOST WONDERFUL GIFT THAT GOD HAD GIVEN and i know, i will treasure him FOREVER like what my mama did. 




   By the way..his name is MARK, he is the craziest and BEST BROTHER EVER! "KUYA, you're the man!"
