MSU Christmas Alphabet

With the advent of the christmas season, especially in our dormitory Rajah Solaiman Hall, we used to sing christmas songs already.  Although, MSU is in the muslim city of Marawi City, it did not hamper our christmas celebration.  One of the christmas songs we sang is the famous christmas alphabet song but we changed what each letter of the christmas stands for.  I really miss my alma mater already.  Thus, I am looking back what my life was in MSU.

An MSUan Life

Kadto istudyante pa ako sa Mindanao State University - Marawi City, ang amo paagi para mawala ang kamingaw sa amo mama ug papa mao ang maghisgot sa mga kinabuhi sa mga istudyante.  In short, manglibak mi sauna.  Usa sa amo nga ginalibak, mao ang mahitungod sa istudyante sa Biology 1 sa College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics.

Sa dihang nag experiment sila sa ila klase mahitungod sa langaw, nagkuha siya ug usa kadako nga langaw.  Iya kini nga gipalupad, ug ang langaw nilupad.  Ang iya observation mao nga ang langaw nga adunay upat ka pako, makalupad.

The Smile that Captivates the Heart of the People

I could still vividly recall what happened in one Saturday morning of July 1996 at Rajah Sulayman Hall, Mindanao State University (MSU) - Marawi City.  My Kabs (short for kababayan) knocked our door and informed me that they have already invited 4 other prospects and he wanted to count me in in their group.  As I was so naive at that time, I readily said yes.  We then brought ourselves by foot to a secluded area of Fisheries Village of MSU.  Then there was a short but pompous orientation of what their organization was all into.  After that, we had ourselves blindfolded by our very own hankies.

Then the longest 5 hours of my life began.  It was full of struggle.  I was in deep pain and agony.  I thought I would never make it until the sounds of cheering comrades overpowered the pains as they welcame us in their group.

If given the chance to rewind this chapter of my life, I would still bring myself to this secluded area of MSU Fisheries Village together with my proud and mighty MONANS.

I love MONALISA forever.
