INDEED, A TWIST!

We were required to cover an event during the University Week and I have no idea what to choose. The sports competition has all been done on Wednesday when I was in a tour with my CMS 136 classmates. After checking my downloaded document of the U-Week schedule, I decided to cover the Student Academic Lecture on Thursday, February 26 at 1:00 -3:00 in the afternoon. Honestly, at first I thought that it will be a boring and sleepy 2-hour lecture with overloaded information.

            However, when I arrived in MILC at exactly 1:00 pm, I was shocked when I saw so many students inside. I can’t even enter the door thus there are no more seats available. Many of the students sat on the floor and some chose to stand beside the walls.

           I was shocked when I found out that the four speakers are also students from different division in CAS. These speakers are all known for being jokers and humorous persons. Well, the excitement then started as the first lecture was delivered by the representative coming from Clovers.

Jhon Robert Amistas, coined himself as the dazzling red queen, a lover, and a mistress .He talked about history specifically about Dr. Jose Rizal. His presentation was full of pick-lines such as “Doctor ka ba, kasi gusto kong sabihin sayo ang nararamdaman ko”. Added to it, he also stated why History is the sweetest GE for him. Wanna know why? “Kasi history is full of dates” he said. Though there are various jokes inserted during the presentation, Amistas enable to give well researched information about Jose Rizal.

            The second speaker was awarded as the Most Physically Fit Human of 2013 and the Most Beautiful Person in 2014. He is Jose Maria Paolo Santos that talked about Physical Education. What made his presentation lively and somehow emotional was because of his intelligence to relate the different components of physical fitness to love such as:

Balance: “Wag mung ibigay lahat-lahat, magtira ka para sa sarili mo. Kung masakit na, tama na”.

Body Composition: “Pag nagmahal ka, wag puro puso, minsan utak naman ang gamitin”.

  On the other hand, Syllogisms:Propositions is the topic of the third speaker. He is Stacky John Fernandez (Elektrons), the Presidente ng Pinakagwapong Pilosopo and Mr. Likas Papaya 2001. It was a very interactive kind of discussion about validation of arguments. He cracked jokes in a poker face which made the students burst out in laughter.

            And last but not the least is Alvin Maghopoy from Skimmers who discovered that circles are pointless. According to him, he graduated as Suma Cum Laude in UPV with the degree of BS Applied Math. His presentation is in titled “Valuing your X’s: A F***toring Session”. He talked about substitution of x’s and factoring which he accompanied with green jokes that made the students laugh out loud.   

That Thursday afternoon was filled with laughter. I salute those four speakers for their great talent that made the stressed UPV students to smile and laugh to their hearts content.
