2011-2012 First Sem Starter

by Beb Jansen Poricallan

After a jovial summer under the sun, for some, and a not so sunny for the others, who spent their days walled in the four corners of a classroom, we are back once again in the university for a new year of challenges, struggles and fun of course. After a very tedious registration, honestly it was a struggle for most, what can be better than meeting your friends, catching up with them and spending some time together? This is the reason why we have our sem starters to ignite our semester with fun-filled activities while bonding with the members.

 "Fun, not just during starry nights."

The first sem starter for this year was held last July 23, Sunday. Six (6) members arrived in time for the first part which was a basketball match at the UP Bliss covered court. It was not a hardcore basketball game given the number of players, two of whom are females and do not play the sport, but a shooting game rather where the team with the highest number of points garnered wins. More members came after lunch for the second and last part at the Quezon City Memorial Circle where more getting-to-know games and energizers awaited. All the activities were prepared and facilitated by the Resource cluster head, Mr. Andro Marco Zantua.


 "We all know what you did last night.. gazing at the skies above, in clear, cold nights."

The number of members who came for the event was less than expected; nonetheless the event was pulled off and was able to serve its purpose. Aside from the regular members, an associate participated, Mr. Ronald Buenaflor, whose presence was greatly appreciated since the sem starter is an activity for the regular and associate members alike.

The activity culminated with an early dinner at the Tropical Hut, still at the QC Memorial Circle. The members here were able to have more chitchats and in-depth conversations about themselves whilst enjoying the food.
