Singing for MVP's birthday mass is always in our yearly engagements line-up. This was our way of thanking our benefactor for all his help and support.
I remember when we first approached him for help. We were preparing for the 2000 European tour. We got him as one of our major sponsors. In exchange for his financial aid, we sang and recorded his company's jingle. They also wanted the choir to appear in the commercial. We stayed up to the wee hours at the Enterprise building's helipad waiting for the sunrise. All these for only a few seconds on air. Fun times!
Lunch was a buffet of roast beef, buttered fish fillet and turkey. The food was kinda blah. The star of the buffet were the veggies that came with the turkey. The veggies were really good, in fairness.

According to my DPA, the varsity basketball team went to the U.S. early this year for a series of training sessions. It seems that they are too distracted when they're training in Manila. I hope that this would result to more victories this UAAP season. If only the ACS can get the same grant from him. We can learn a lot from the European choirs out there.

So much has changed in my alma mater. Apart from the new buildings, there are modern sculptures adorning the empty lots. There's also a small bookstore that sells Ateneo merchandise (shirts, jackets, umbrellas, notebooks, etal.). There are also two Figaro outlets within the campus. I hope to go around the entire campus when I have time spare. I can't wait to see the other changes.
