The Final Week

My final week in Ateneo. My final week as a student. I have torn down most of the numbers on my wall representing the number of weeks left before the end of college. I could almost see the light at the end of the tunnel.

My study table was at its messiest. I was cramming my final exams like I always do. Meanwhile, my bed became a tambakan for all my things. I hardly slept in my bed because I always fell asleep on my desk while studying.

Pre- and post-thesis defense. We didn't care about our grades anymore. We just wanted everything to be over. 

We were all on celebratory mood at Frutti Froyo after our thesis defense.

Team Mode

Team Mode was one of the four winning teams during the preliminary round of the 2010 ACTM Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) Competition. We did a marketing proposal for Bo's Coffee and also came up with a concrete output for our plans last month.

For the final round, our task was to produce a 30-second TV commercial for Dentiste, an incoming toothpaste brand. Our video was good but we didn't do so well in the final pitch so we didn't win. But still, it was a great honor to participate in this competition. 

LS 125 Final Defense

One subject that I enjoyed the most this final semester in college is LS 125 Strategic Management. We did a corporate strategic audit on Greenwich Pizza for the entire semester. We analyzed the industry trends, its competitors and other industry data. This morning, we had our final oral defense at the SOM Building. We had two panelists, a guy from McKinsey Consulting and Mr. Tanchoco, the Management Engineering Program Director. Scary!!! After our successful defense, we celebrated by eating Greenwich Pizza, of course. 

Valentines Day

Just awhile ago, Mina and I went to Trinoma Mall to watch the romantic comedy film,Valentines Day. For years, we have been planning to do random stuff like this but schoolwork always came first. With graduation just a month away, we finally pushed through with our random lakwatcha although we still have some CTK shit to finish. We have been so stressed out the past few months because of this thesis. We deserve a break.
