Dream Come True

We shape our destiny if we believe in the beauty of our dreams. A meaningful quote, isn’t it? That was the most exact quote I picture with myself when that day happened. It was the very unforgettable moment that I experienced in my whole existence and I consider it as the most unexpected time that I will be dwelling of.

It was Saturday, August 3, 2013 at exactly 6 pm in the evening. The most precious time that I will going to cherish come upon me. I am at the gymnasium inside the premises of Holy Cross of Davao College near the stage on the bleachers. My heart skipped a beat. Every minute when I am sitting on the bleachers kept me on thinking about what would happen for the next minutes. I prepared myself. I set my camera, I fed my hungry tummy, and practice myself shouting and yelling. Then, my course began.

When I am preparing myself, I hear the crowd’s noise. They were shouting. Teens, tweens and even adults scream for the lights turned off and the music was played. It was the very melodic music I’ve ever heard in my entire life. I took a deep breath and started to scream and stopped. I grab my camera in my pocket and steal some pictures. I capture banners, artworks, and the many fan girls sitting around the performance stage. Following a couple of minutes, the formal program started.

The crowd was silent. The program was officially blessed by a prayer played and the Philippine National Anthem was conducted. The opening remarks filled with colorful thoughts was then followed by well-known former seminarian in Davao. And this is what we’re waiting for.

The program officials and staffs positioned and calibrated the countdown and snap! The crowd began to be wild again. The emcee took his first step up on the stage and welcome us with a great Hello! And make acquainted with the crowd. He then introduce the first performer. He was the son of an executive in GMA Davao but I don’t actually know who he was. He sang This Love by Maroon 5 and

    I walked into Saenger theatre, unsure of what to expect from the program as it was my first concert. I must say, I was well pleased by how the ladies at the front desk attended to us and everyone else when we went to purchase our tickets (I was there with two friends). Anyway, the attendants showed us to our seats. We couldn’t see everything from where we were seated, but we had a great view nevertheless. The building was well lighted and everything else was neatly organized, it was pretty.…

    As I meandered on stage with my peers, I heard the chatter or the audience, the tuning of the timpanis, and the double basses’ rumbling sound filling the venue. Before I realized, the piece began. The fanfare-like brass at the very beginning helped my nerves settle; for some reason the broad, confident sound allowed me to feel more secure.…

    The stage manager came up to us and gave the five minute warning. I jumped up and down trying to create the adrenaline rush that accompanied me every time I set foot on the stage. But, for the first time, I could not tap into the feeling. The result of seven months of grueling practice was five minutes away from its showcase. And there I was, scared as it were my first performance.…

    On October 11, 2012 I went to the Collage chorus concert. When I went there I got to experience the variety of the performances which made the concert interesting. The overall artistry was an aspect of the performance that really stood out to me. As each choral group performed, they interpreted their emotions in the songs, the energy to the dancing and singing, in Sound check and Girls in Heels, and the individual styles of all the groups emphasized the talent of the performers.…

    This poem by Langston Hughes is a very complicated. In it the speaker paints a picture of what might happen to someone’s dream if it is postponed too long. This idea is the overall theme of the poem and it is what unifies and connects each line to the poem as a whole. There are also indirect references that this is not only the dream of an individual, but an entire race’s struggle to achieve peace and liberation. This poem consists of a series of answers to the question, “What happens to a dream deferred?” All of the lines following this first question are presented as different similes.…

    Cultural Event Report

    For this cultural event report I decided to attend a musical performance. This was a play of the classic movie Beauty and the Beast. This is the first time I have ever attended a live musical and I had an overall good experience. The one thing that I don’t really like is a lot of singing but the acting was extraordinary. The cast was dressed in beautiful brightly colored costumes. The main characters of course were Belle, the Beast, Gaston, and Belle’s father, Maurice. The main thing I did throughout the play was compare it to the actual movie and there were differences but the main plot was the same. I attended the performance with my sister, my kids, and my niece. The kids really enjoyed it, especially the talking teapots! My first impression when entering the theatre was that it was rather small which I expected. The tickets were only $6.00 for students and children under 3 were free. All the seats were full also. I didn’t really expect people to dress up in nice clothes, and everyone just had on mostly jeans and shirt, nothing fancy. The lighting was good on the stage and I could hear the cast loud and clearly through the speakers. One thing that I didn’t like was the microphones that the cast used. They were rather large and it would have been nicer for them to have a microphone that was a little less revealed. There were about 15-20 cast members in all. Some people seemed to look a bit more comfortable on stage than others. The effect on the stage, while they were singing, was great. My favorite part was in the beginning when the Prince was turned into the beast because he was turning down the woman who turned out to be a beautiful enchantress. It was a good lesson of karma and how true…

    I feel peace come to myself, I am relaxed as the keys begin harmonize together. I don't feel the need to drown out my anxieties in fantasies, the crowd intently staring at me is enough to keep me tethered to reality for once. There is a certain pair of eyes staring at me through the crowd, I scan as I sing the song I'm being paid to preform. I scan and see my family, watching intently being proud, my brother watching with an almost remorseful contemptuousness for my achievements, he is changed from once who he was. A cruel, bitter, person.…

    The internet was slowly loading after I typed and entered the words on my laptop’s keyboard. The moment I had been waiting for five months has come; UPCAT results were released and shown in public. While I was waiting, I suddenly recalled that I was not able to pass the entrance exam of De La Salle University, one of the leading schools in the Philippines and most of my classmates passed the exam. One of my classmates even aced the exam and was included on the top 100 passers. Am I not smart enough to pass the exam? Where did I lack of? Would it be the second time around? Is there a chance I could still pass the UPCAT? Out of 85,000 applicants, is it still probable for me? I did not know what to think to snag these thoughts off my mind. Everything in my surrounding became static. I closed my eyes and I was alone again in this universe but this time, I was not dreaming anymore and it made me more anxious. I am beginning to lose hope but I want to convince myself that I will make it. I want to hold on in my dreams of becoming an Iska and to be part of UP community. Finally, the page loaded on the screen of the laptop. I could feel the air temperature became lower and tried to shrug it off. But my hands became cold as my feet could not stop from stomping. I searched looking for the starting letter of my surname, G. My heart pumped louder again, as I looked on my laptop’s screen searching for my surname, Gozun. Some of my…

    The last drop of sweat my body has to offer slowly falls from my forehead onto my two-year-old neatly pressed black concert dress. In the first oboist's chair I sit, horn neatly propped in my lap, as I wait for the conductor to walk onto stage. My slightly trembling hands make physical the instinct to run, hide, offer some excuse and exit stage left.…

    The Special Academic Convocation showed me people who have lived their whole lives in service of others. Ateneo graduates who have made their school proud before the whole country because of the differences they've made. I realized from them that Ateneo is one of the top schools in the country not because its graduates can be found in the magazine's list of the top richest people but because their lives and works can be found in the progress of this country. They have spent a lifetime serving the people because as Edmundo F. Nolasco, one of the speakers, believe that there can be no greater expression of gratitude than to dedicate their lives to change the world for Christ except maybe to die fighting for a cause.…
