Yesterday was Friday the 13th and it was the first Friday the 13th of 2009. So what? Believers of the ancient practices are always seeing this day as “day to avoid”. I really do not know the premise behind but history is always saying that something  significantly will happen everytime this day comes. Most if not all are avoiding number 13 because of its bad luck brings.

Anyway, I respect their opinions for that but one thing for sure, God has the full control of everything. Something happens because of His will and it has all the reasons behind. Let’s be more faithful and leave everything to Him or common saying that “Just do your best and God will do the rest for you!…

Yesterday as well was the celebration of Students’ Day, traditionally in preparation of the celebration of Valentine’s day in UIC, there were series of activities that took place for the students. It is a 2 day celebration. It is good time as well for the students to have their break from academic pressures and rush assignment even just in 2 days. The day filled with academic competitions among the different programs in the university. It was started with a bang with Mr. and Miss Valentines was the highlight in the morning right after the celebration of the holy mass. In the afternoon, all the academic events took place such spelling bee with a twist (contestant should spell the work backwardly, i really do not know the objectives behind!..LOL), survivor Philippines (UIC version), snakes and ladders, sodoku, rubik’s cube challenge, poem and essay writings competitions and others. The day culminated with a Band Competition in the evening.

Today is the last day of the celebration of Students’ day. The OSAD and SSG facilitated with Jobs Fair intended for graduating students and Clubs fair for the undergraduate students.

I am very sure, students are enjoying their day as well as for us mentors/professors, since this serves as our 1 day break from school. Good enough compared to nothing.

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY EVERYONE!

The picture below is enough for the significant meaning of valentines. Celebrate it with love and faith. Love one another and let other people feel that there is really love somewhere out there.
