Well not literally a torch.. But it has something to do with the phrase.
Today, Decky, our Skittlez leader, has auditioned and has been accepted into the La Salle Dance Company (LSDC) Street Crew. One of their policies is that you cannot join another crew outside LSDC.
Ergo, Skittlez is going to lose (obviously figuratively) a member.
Along with Matt, who will be graduating.
And possibly Kevin, who will be running to be an organization president next term.
I've been assigned by the Decky-man to carry the torch and bring Skittlez forward, be the leader both in prayer, in friendship, and in the love of dance. Of course, like everything else that I do, I will do my best.
Skittlez, next year's Remix. I'm going to be in it from the get-go.
One passion. One love. Chyeah.
Congratulations also to DX of Southside (and ex-Skittle) for making it through with Decky. I hope and wish you guys the best in your dancing.
Also, I applied for an on-the-spot investigative writing competition next January.
It involves interviewing, taking down notes, and being observant
Now, what was my Sleuth ranking? #3 in Novice? #5 in Journeyman? *grins*
I have a feeling I'll do well in that one.
Wish me luck, in my dance and in my writing.

La Salle Band Fever
What a Wednesday.
In conjunction with the Pride Against Prejudice week, and sponsored by MYX, three prime Filipino bands were invited at my school, De La Salle, to perform a 1 hour and a half concert. There was also a fashion show but unfortunately I didn't really get many pictures from that.
Many thanks to Liz for taking the pictures with my camera while I was having a dance session at Yuchengco Lobby.
In order of personal preference (least to most).
Sugarfree.
I'm not much of a fan hence the relatively few pictures.
The Dawn.
^ They were alright. Veteran rockers.
Of course, my personal favorite (I've been a fan since Rico days).
Rivermaya.
Alright alright.. The fashion show now.
I only have a couple of pictures, but I must say that I really like this shirt.
I gotta say it again.
I love this school.
I did mention that I was at Yuchengco lobby right..?
I had a battle with Fabieoulous.
In the words of Brent of LSDC Crew, "This is you *points at shoe* and this is Fab *points at a spot on the ground and stomps on it*". Well.. Something like that.
*grins*
Bring it on. I've got more disses than Henry's got missus.

A Day of Happiness
Jason is one happy dude.
Morning, Anthropology class. I had a talk with my professor and it turns out there are extra credit classes I can attend! Though it clashes with another subject of mine, I am pretty good at that particular subject AND we have a cool teacher who would almost certainly let me off once in a while so I can attend that extra credit class.
English Communication class. Glad to have written a pretty solid draft for tomorrow's essay. Not a bad day so far.
Lunch time. Got to have lunch with ENGLCOM blockmates. Only regret, should have taken pictures. Discovered Ria's scandalous drunken moment. *feigns shock*
Afternoon. Favorite class, International Relations. Persuaded Aldz to sit in my class where he almost died of sleepiness. *whacks Aldz' head* Anyway, it has lots of History, and recently it's all about the Roman Empire, the Catholic Church, the Holy Roman Empire, and monarchies. Now, my dear sister Nicole would tell anyone, challenge Jay on these topics and he would give you enough butt-whipping to last an entire 24 years, 3 months, and 33 days. *grins* Oh well, I tore up the class as usual. *grins even wider* In the wise words of Ferdie, "Jay, how the hell do you know these things, you smart ass??" Honestly? Play Medieval: Total War. It's a good game.
Volleyball. I was on linesman duty again and had an awesome time complaining and bickering with our coach. *laughs* He's a cool fella. Anyway, my team lost again on the second round. At least, I was happy that my service is getting a lot better, almost perfect.
For The Kids 2008. I volunteered to be a 'kuya' ('abang' in Malay, 'punching bag' in English) in the charity program of La Salle. Basically, on 20 January 2008, we will have these special kids come over from different centers and have a mini Olympics at our football field. As I was signing up, I can't quite believe that there aren't that many Lasallians who were signing up. Shame on you buggers. Anyway, my kid's name is Joven Santiago and I chose him specifically because he has Down's Syndrome. I don't know why, but those kids have a special spot in my heart.
TO ALL LASALLIANS. Sign up. Remember our creed. Religio, Mores, et Cultura.
Tomorrow. Dance session at Yuchengco, 1130am until after University Break.
Dance. Good.
Jason is very happy.

Lame/Stupid/Dumb
Another rant slash complaint but more to rant about Friendster bulletins.
I cannot help but notice that a lot of people spend countless minutes of their lives reposting and forwarding absolutely useless rubbish through the Friendster bulletin board. The bulletin board is supposed to be for putting up notices right? Well.. "Supposedly". I mean, these new 'Friend's Bulletins' really irritated me enough to merit a post in The Jason's blog.
Exhibit A
Subject: How To Kiss Someone During a Movie
Message:
You have just been visited by MATT. I
will grant you one wish. Make your
wish when the count down is over.
10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2..1
MAKE A WISH
repo st this with the title " HOW TO
KISS DURING A MOVIE[cute] " to throw
people off.... within 2 minutes. If
you do, your wish will come true. If
you don't, it will become the opposite
Did you know? before you go to sleep
at night there is one person thinking
of you. They want you they want to
kiss you, They want to be with you
I mean, W.T.F.??? Who would actually believe rubbish like that? Matt? Aren't there more fairy-tale-ish names out there? What a load of senseless rubbish. Take this next one.
Exhibit B
Subject:AlerT iN mId VaLLey!!
Message:
Dear All,
I am sending this out as to alert
everybody regarding this Incidence
that happened to me last Saturday when
I was in Mid Valley.
Just beware, it happened to me & might
happen to you as well...
I was in Mid Valley making my way to
Coffee Bean to meet up my friend
there. There was this Indian guy, aged
around 30, well dressed & looked
decent, coming to my way right in
front of Body Shop & greeted me, "Hai,
Miss , you look happy but recently you
have been working too hard... Probably
you should stop pushing yourself too
much & relax a bit.."
Usually, my way would be to brush him
off & thinking that he is "chi sin" -
crazy. But that day, unusually, I
stopped & listened to him, allowing
him to continue with his lines for
about a minute. Some how or rather,
fortunate ly I suddenly felt that
something is not right & immediately
turn back & move away from the spot.
When I had made my may to Coffee Bean,
after sitting down for a few minutes,
I felt very dizzy & sleepy. It took me
about half an hour to recover while
sitting there. Then , I recalled this
Indian guy had a strong fragrance
smell with him while he was talking to
me. I do not know how he did it but I
was nearly trapped.
Something similar happened to one of
my friends in KLIA before but I never
expected it to happen in a busy place
like Mid Valley. May be our mothers
are right, do not talk too strangers
but they forget to tell us, NOT TO
EVEN LISTEN TO STRANGERS.
Please pass this to your friends
around you to keep them alert of this.
Oh right, now if that was not a racist post, I do not know what is. Come on! Grow up! Must these 'real stories' be forwarded? I thought your mother taught you about strangers when you were 6? The person who reposted this is freaking 19! Get a bit of common sense. Maybe you wouldn't seem so stupid? But nothing beats chain messages like the next one.
Exhibit C
Subject: I LOVE My Boyfriend
Message:
you
have 200
seconds to repost this or your dad
will die, in a crash and your mom will
kill Herself in about 24 hours. only
say one
1.I have a boyfriend now
2.Bitch
3. I want a boyfriend
4.I like someone
5.We broke up for sure
6.I am single
7.I LOVE my boyfriend.
8.I LOVE my girlfriend
9.I'm ugly
10.I miss my boyfriend
11.I miss my girlfriend
12.I want my guy because some chick
13.His cinderella
14.Her Prince Charming
15.I Miss somebody I like
16.We did it last night
17.My bestfriend!
18.BI TCH!
19.He is so HOT
20.She is so HOT
21.I Want My ex-boyfriend Back
22.I Want MY ex-girlfriend Back
It's flame time. People who repost rubbish like this deserve to take a wet fish and slap themselves on the face for lacking common sense, being stupidly superstitious, being dumb as a bag of barf, having no sense of intuition, and being downright gullible. Come on!! Are the teenagers/young adults of this world suffering IQ loss at a preposterous scale? This is so unbelievable it's stupid.
Could we finally have some real bulletins?
I would like to commend my friends for posting real bulletins like those noting dance workshops, events, or recent news. Thank God these people's IQ have not dropped 30 points every 18 minutes.

Skittlez Victory
Skittlez, sorry I'm late by almost a week in posting this. *grins*
Congratulations to my crew and family for winning 3rd place in the Remix 2007! We practiced like hell for months and we danced not to win, but to build our friendship and show that with God, we can do whatever we put our minds to.
United by one passion. Dancing.
United by one love. Friendship.
Glory to our one choreographer. God.
A crew built on friendship, trust, and faith.
This is only the start of the journey guys. We'll have so much more in our time together in La Salle. We're the only crew with so much individual talent, with experienced battle dancers of so many different styles. We have krump, hiphop, pop and lock, liquid pop, breakdancing, booty shaking, shuffling, and technical dancing. How can we not be Skittlez?
^ With the trophy.
^ With DX (ex-Skittle and currently a breakdancer for SouthSide New Breed Crew), Aldz (Skittlez' breakdancer), and Mico (LSDC Crew breakdancer).
^ Aldz, Kevin, Matt, Fabie.
^ Breakdance, a trophy, and liquid pop.
For the only crew that ends everything with prayer.
Skittlez, chyeah on three.
One.
Two.
Three.
CHYEAH!!
For the dance, please type "Skittlez Remix Finals" in YouTube.

Skittlez at Levi's Rock Candy
Saturday, 13 October, the crew was invited to perform at a Levi's-sponsored La Salle (yet another one) party at Rock Candy at Glorietta 2.
^ Skittlez crew. Kevin was late, so he's not in there.
^ Liz, Fab, Coyi, Ann, G-Fab, Aldz (the clueless face at bottom-left).
^ Skittlez's couple, G-Fab and Ann.
^ Nika, Aldz, and his sister Andrea.
Since it was sponsored by Levi's, there was also a fashion show at the club.
^ Grr.. I like the shirt!
^ I like this dude's shirt even better. *sigh*
I also won myself a Levi's cap for.. well, wearing Levi's.
I also realized that a lot of people do not wear Levi's.
^ Dark denim cap.
After the performance, we danced a bit and decided to have dinner at Max's. The chicken there's awesome.
^ Skittlez at dinner with Decky's dad and little bro.
We headed out to dance some more at Bed Space but I couldn't be bothered to take pictures. Just remember Akon's song, and you'll have a rough idea of what transpired.
"You already know.."
Ahaha.. That's my last party this week! Yay!

La Salle Party at Jaipur
Prince of Jaipur (or Jaipur for short), is a high-end Indian/Arab restaurant that turns into a high-end hip hop club after 10pm. And as La Salle won the UAAP championships, this party was all-exclusive to Lasalistas. You're not from my school? Got 500 bucks? Hahahahaha.. So anyway, I gotta look fly, and with that shirt? Dang! *grins*
^ My boys at Jaipur. Aldz (the b-boy) and Decky (the Krumper).
And of course, a VIP stamp sure helps you party even better.
^ It's a little faded from the condensation of my drinks. *grins*
^ View from the dance floor.
^ View from the VIP section.
Since Joe wanted to see the babes that I party with, here's to you my Agent Orange brother. Please don't wet your pants you naughty Scouser.
^ Note that there are more girls when I am in the picture. *grins*
Mike brought high school friends. I love you Mike.
^ Kate, Isabel, Mike. Isabel = wow. She was the only one I danced with the whole time at Jaipur.
Finally, the dancers.
Me, Vince, Aldz, Decky.
In 2 hours, there's another party. Will post pictures as soon as I'm not too tired from the 6 days of hard partying.
PS. I love DLSU.

DLSU Celebration Week
Okay I know. No updates for a long time.
La Salle Green Archers won the UAAP championships in basketball and that's about how big it gets here in the Philippines. What happens?
PARTY.
Everyday since Sunday. My God, it's awesome. It's awesome for me because I have free access to most of them which means no financial damage. *laughs* Then on Thursday, La Salle had a big party right in our own Central Plaza.
Aldz, Kev, Decky.
Me, Kev, Decky.
Me, Coyi, Ann, Liz, Decky. Go green!
Then hung out a little bit with some TAPAT guys. TAPAT is a political organization in La Salle.
Krista and Kaye. My food and Tagalog teachers. They are also my personal girl guides.
Went to eat at Charlie Brown. The two girls oriented me to 'chicken sisig'.
OMG it's delicious.
Then we went back for a rock night party!!
I heart my school. =)

Yet Another Hectic Week
Hello readers.
As usual, my bedmate Ms. Procrastination has set her foot down. *sigh*
I meant to update last Wednesday but never got around to doing so. Anyway, here's what's been happening in the week.
La Salle beat Ateneo to go to the finals. *cheers*
Political Science class is getting a lot more interesting.
I found out stuff about Plato that really encouraged my own political views about the current system in the Philippines. Not that all he said was right and practical, but that old guy has genius in his insanity.
Made a lot more new friends.
Became a member of animalmatters.org. Collected heaps of signatures to help out with animal rights around the world and in Philippines.
La Salle beat UE's Red Warriors yesterday in Game 1 of the finals.
One more win on Sunday and the Green light is back on.
La Salle retreat yesterday. All phones and cameras confiscated for the day.
Had good debates about politics which Roberto and I thoroughly enjoyed.
I hate it when people open their mouths without knowing the proper facts, and without reliable sources. Also when they take it so damn personally.
Officially annoyed with a guy named Mac Mac for being a ridiculous nerd.
Bought a box of cookies from the La Salle fencing team.
Fencing and cookies. Make the connection yourself.
Going. Class in an hour.
There you go.
