College begins with a bang with classmates filled with positive and outgoing energy!  The first picture here is the first group picture I have from College, we were conducting interviews of the faculty.  In the 3rd picture (far right), we were told to wear all red to represent BroadJourn on the Opening Day of the CLA Sportsfest... we also took our first visit to the Museo.  And in the last picture (bottom), we're just chilling out at the Teatro booth.  Tope (William, guy in blue shirt), is the only guy to have applied for Teatro and make it as one of four probees of that Org in our class.

With my life changing from that High School drift to a College rush, I also wanted to change a lot more.  I wanted to move out of the house and live in a dormitory where I can escape the trapped atmosphere and live free (well, almost).  I moved into an experimental Men's dormitory last June 10, 2002 inside the campus with my close friend from HS, Lance (see HS-G7 page).  Dorm life is new, fun, and very interesting.

As passive and as dull the night time scene of Lasalle Dasmariñas can get, the University couldn't prevent Student Organizations from putting together parties for their new Freshmen.  For the AB Com Program Council, they threw together an acquaintance party for the three AB Com and one BroadJourn first year sections.  This event was entitled "Froshnyte" (1st two pictures).  The day afterwards the USC (University Student Council) gathered bands and some DLSU-D Alumnai (specifically from AB Com) in the name of Slick Rick of Magic 89.9.  It was an event entitled "Freshmania", and the theme was 70s.  A contest was held and out of so many girls present... my high school friend (and member of G7, see page) won the title of Ms. Freshmania!

This was the premiere event that exposed my block away from the shadows of "Broad-what?" and into the light of the University.  It was during the Buwan ng Wika (Linggo ng Wika as well) that our professor Mr. Lakandupil Garcia encouraged our class to put together a re-enactment of the Burnhams hostage tragedy of this year 2002 as our presentation during the Competition and Parade.  With the talents and hard work of fellow classmates, we put together a powerful presentation which bagged us 3rd Place, which was pretty high and only CLA-block in any year level to do so.  Not to boast, but we needed that exposure for a nearly invisible class.

During my time as a Probationary member of the VPAPU (Visual Performing Arts Production Unit), we had to aid several shows of the first semester of the SY 2002-2003.  Our Mock Show (first picture) was a test to see how good the new members of this Org are by staging our own show.  Another event was the PAG (Performring Arts Group) Acquaintance Party which involved an episode of "Mister Marmalade" (see 2nd shot).

The Philippines removed ROTC this year and in it's place was NSTP which gave the incoming generation of College students the choice to pick either ROTC, Community Service, or Law Enforcement Training.  The last one wasn't available and everyone was interested in the Community Service or CWTS (Community Welfare Training Service).  It exposed my classmates and myself to survey missions in the Dasmariñas resettlement area where we were all assigned a family to collect data on.

Every year there's a Recollection and our first Recollection took place on September 12th and 13th, which happened to be a Thursday and a Friday the 13th.  Together with Tourism 1-1, we enjoyed a spiritual recollection with our own Re-Ed Professor, Mr. Marvin Lepardo.  The event was two days and one night, short but just right.  It was a fun event that bonded classmates closer together.

Here are two pictures of us wearing our LaSallian Uniforms.  The first picture is in front of JFH, which is our home building and the main building for CLA students.  The second picture is one inside the classroom and was taken with classmate Leah's camera.

The Classroom Scene

Since my camera doesn't have a strong flash, most of the performances by my classmate failed to develop on film.  I managed to get a few shots though after the Variety Show for our Literature Class.  Our Literature Class is handled by CLA's "King of Theater" which is the UP-Theater Student Mr. Larry Tolentino.

By the end of the Semester much of the dorms had shaped up.  Now that everyone knew each other and were Friends, we could all study together, play Coutnerstrike together, watch TV together, and just talk together.  In the 2nd picture are the occupants of F3 this first semester.  Lance, my high school friend.  And the othger guy is Jan, from Cavite City and a 2nd Year student.
