The Lettermen, "Live in Concert" at South Cotabato Gymnasium, Koronadal City on July 4, 2008, Friday. Twenty million records and seven thousand concert shows ago, three young men in letter sweaters hit the music charts with their first single, "The Way You Look Tonight."

I hate this point in life between not being a student anymore and becoming a professional. There are so many things that you are not to enjoy anymore; things such as the daily allowance, pulling out your self out of the bed early for school, cramming when deadlines are near, bonding and mischievous trips of your buddies, and the extra-curricular activities. You might say that I am experiencing

What is the significance of excellence and being outstanding in today’s society? It helps build and heal a nation. In my perspective, being excellent and outstanding today is a blessing from God.

What to you is the meaning of community service? Being aware of what is happening around and responding to it.

We had a really wonderful time visiting with my friends at Lake Sebu. The calm and still water photo was taken while visiting the lakeshore. The Punta Isla was very beautiful and I think one of my favorite stopping places this summer. The Resort Attendants were dressed up in T’nalak cloth costumes and we had fun talking to them. The view was lovely down to the Lake.
