Of Overnights and Online Surfing

I had an overnight stay in the office last night. That was probably the most productive night for me since I got to do more things than the usual. Aside from updating my social networking sites and editing photos, I got to download the hottest songs this month. Also, with the help of my Assistant Business Manager, Lycel, I had revised and made our first resolution for the school year. That was for the scholarship to be availed by my fellow staffers in the publication.

Since picnic.com has already bid goodbye, Lycel has introduced me to this photo editing site, muzy.com Though they don’t offer the same features in picnik, they are connected to facebook and you can have a ready account where you can like and comment photos of your friends who are also using the site. As a neophyte, here’s a collage from the old and new me… whatever! J

More than that, I was also looking for a site where I can download songs, Lycel has suggested for me to check out www.youtube-mp3 And I was right for following her. This site makes it easy for us to convert youtube videos into mp3 formats by just copying the video URL. No need to create an account and the download process is very fast. Thus, I get to download the latest songs I love like Justin Beiber’s Boyfriend and Carly Rae Jepsen’s Call Me Maybe.

Indeed, that was a great night, though I only slept about 4 o’clock this morning. I learned a lot of things because of Lycel, even keyboard shortcuts! J

P.S. Why not check out those sites?! J

All is well... farewell!

It has been some time since I scribbled into this page. A month has finally passed and the semester ended at last. There’s a new leaf to write on and new experiences to share. Actually, I have already a draft on what I should be blogging this time. But it was full of sadness and despair, and I think it’s not worthy to put into writing since I have already moved on. However, of those times that I am out of the blogosphere, various momentous happenings took place. Allow me to share these comings and goings of my life after I have celebrated my two hundred twenty eight months of journey…

March 31- April 01, 2012 Farewell Party

the TN staff in their prince and princess costumes

We have travelled about thirty minutes from Dumaguete to our destination, the Escosas Bar and Resort in Amlan, Negros Oriental. Six members of our publication have bid farewell as they join to the real world.

the graduates (from left to right): Roroy (Circulation Manager); Mommy Chix (Senior Writer);
Key (Editor-in-Chief) and  Rina (News Editor)

Aside from saying goodbye to these oldies, it was also the oath taking ceremony for the new batch of the Editorial Board which I am apparently part of. I was elected as the Business Manager and making the party possible had been part of my training. Shopping for groceries, marketing, buying food for dinner, and riding back to the city the next day to buy for lunch and snacks was not that easy. Nonetheless, it was a wonderful experience since we got to dress like princesses with all those ball gowns and crowns, as well as wearing make-ups. It looks like having a promenade once again just looking back my high school days. 

the new editorial board: Rolynsky (EIC); Alberta (Assoc. Ed.); Jessie (News Ed.);
ME (Business Manager) and  Liting (Assistant BM)
