All for ONE..

It’s hard to imagine what our lives would be in 10 years or so… even if we are so focus on what we want in our lives, changes may still occur maybe tomorrow or the next day, and as what have others say… Change is normal. Because of the unique companionship of our batch, Journalism 2009, I can say that maybe years from now some of us are still stuck with one another’s company. I mean, because of the different groups in our section, they are still together even with their work… as in working altogether.

we can't predict the future for the cool and crazy people of JO8A.

What lies ahead of us?

Jose Andronico Wangag will put up a small publication but finds it too difficult in his situation, a situation wherein he is a tutor and a writer in other publication. This made him confront Gilbert Monge to be one of his business partners for the success of this publication. Years after this certain publication was done, Gilbert Monge will become a known columnist in this newspaper. With the creative mind and closeness with Gilbert, he will offer one of his friends to become as one of the editors in this publication, and she is Emelyn Castalla. While Joevie Guerrero will go back to her career as a call center agent and again quit because this time she will pursue her dreams and that is to become a PR agent.

Luisa H. del pilar will get married and have 3 wonderful kids. Her kids will also be like her, a bookworm. Because of this, Luisa will put up her own book store for her children with the help of her friends, Kit and Girlie. After reading a hundred fictional and love story books in Luisa’s bookstore, as a result, Christine Perez will be able to publish one love story (yes, love story) book. Here in the Philippines, her book will not create a good sales in the market but instead, will become the number 1 book selling in USA. While Girlie Daliva will be a call center agent but won’t become successful in that field because she finds her passion and that is as a teacher in a university. Girlie will have a problem making decision whether she will marry her boyfriend, because her boyfriend didn’t want her to teach anymore in that university and wants to settle down and live happily ever after with her.

Heidy Landrito will continue to serve GOD. She will visit different places here in our country and spread the good news of our Lord, Jesus Christ. While Neil Darius Javier will be with Heidy in this mission and soon realize and change his sexuality, to become a straight guy for good and start a new life as a “guy”.

Precious Francisco and Grace Palpalatoc will become a business partners. They will create a big name in that industry as entrepreneurs (it could be in food or bag collection).

Julian Miguel Javier still continues to join cost-play in different schools and will become a judge/consultant in every cost-play in the country. Like where’s the best shop to avail a certain kind of costume that would cost less or cheaper and etc.

Because of frustrations in becoming a journalist, Regina Camille Makayan will instead put up her own company, the DMT watches collection together with Jessica and Fitz. This is where Jessica Sandra Dela Rosa will excel with her unique sociability by marketing the company’s product that become one of the reason why she don’t have her own personal life, “lovelife”. While Cathlene Fitz Teretit will continue her career in photography and will plan to go abroad for a better future.

chill..

Jan Claude Bonares will become the successor of their coffee shop and soon he will turn it into a restaurant bar. In here, Marinel Joy Lacson will be one of the singers. And in Claude’s new coffee shop turned-to-resto-bar, Marinel will find her new dream boy who also performs in the same bar (the Biksa Resto bar) that made her to leave her long time partner alone. While Henry Revita will quit his job as a call center agent and find his passion in the line of singing. This resto bar will become the JOURNs get-together party venue every month.

Because of love depression, Miguel Velasco will be out of the country in years. He will compose lots of sad love songs (emotional songs) especially dedicated to his old lover. And soon Miguel, together with his band, will be given a one year recording contract by a top recording company in the country.

Emmanuel Timajo will become as the country’s greates volleyball player. He will have the chance to play international with the one of the world’s greatest man volleyball player. Yes a man, just like Neil, he will realize that being a man is all that he wanted to be after all his heartaches in his college life.

This is what I can see in the future for our batch. It can be difficult to reach some of these visions, but I believe that this batch can make a difference because for us, nothing is impossible if we’re together. It is the tight friendship of one another that makes life easier to deal with.
