crimson notes

“NEVER GIVE UP.”

When all else fails your will to finish will push you even farther. A lesson carved by experience. This semester

brought big challenges not just to me but also to my classmates [3rd yr. Maskomistas]. We’ve shared tears, sacrifices, frustrations and laughter. But one thing is certain, we did not give up. My professor once said, “A group is most effective when you LISTEN to each other - instead of shouting at one another.” And that is what we did. In all fairness, we we’re able to set aside our issues and differences and worked as one team [we make a great one too]. The CRIMSON PRIDE experience was indeed a very challenging one.

The CRIMSON PRIDE magazine reflects who we are [the juniors]. It is the product of our hard work and perseverance.

BEHIND THE SCENES: (the making of Crimson Pride)

Let it Out. Voice it Out.

Confess them.

Confession #2061

“This year Intramural is the

best. Bawi din sa game

next year ui. 3rd place

isn’t enough for me .. I’ve

got to have that Gold

next. “

-CBA

Confession #1956I have this most embarrassing moment at school. I’m singing loudly and I thought there were no classes going on at that time. Then, suddenly when I pass by in the classroom, the teacher and all the students were looking at me laughing including my crush. I really turned red. Oh my God! That was so embarrassing. -Medtech

Confession #2145

My teacher always mispronounces words. My friends and I secretly make fun of her because of it. One time, I was asked to speak right after her. We were all laughing hard while she was giving her speech. When it was my turn, I made the greatest humiliation of my life and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, a fleasant morning to all of you!"

-Arts and Sciences

Confession 1178

You aren’t really allowed to eat in class, right? My classmates and I were eating cheese Kornets, and I hid the entire pack of chips in my skirt. One of my classmates told the teacher that I had a question for her, so when she called on me, I had no choice but to stand up. When I did, the entire pack of Kornets that was in my lap spilled onto the floor! The class burst into laughter!

Confession 567

My most embarrassing moment in school is when I was with my friend, Jhil and we were walking along the lobby, back in our room. I stepped on the slippery surface and then... BLAAAAAGG!!! ;)) HAHA! My friend was shocked and she shouted. HAHAHAHA! I was wearing a short skirt. :| There were so many people staring at me so I just looked down at the floor. Then a guy from the corridor helped me to stand up. I said thanks but I wasn’t able to get his name. Ayy!

Confession 986

I pulled on a pair of super tight

jeans for a date with my crush.

While walking on the lobby,

I accidentally dropped my

handkerchief. As I bent down to

get it, I heard a ripping sound and

felt my pants split in two! I had to

cover my behind with my bag.

My crush was laughing the entire

time!

E RISE OF SM CDO2

It’s finally here, the long awaited project of SM Prime, the second SM Mall of Cagayan de Oro. The 4-storey mall has a beautiful, irregular geometric

glassy facade, with a water feature at the entrance. It will consist of the standard package: The SM Store, a Supermarket/Hypermarket and some anchor shops. It will have six cinemas. The top portion will have a roof garden, a standard feature on SM Premiere Malls, and on the roof deck, the BPO Building (our BPO-working friends are going to be ecstatic with this). The interior open space is most probably the activity center, while on the 4th floor hallways are seats, which is most probably the SM Food Court. The Agudo Property, beside the creek, will be occupied by an anchor store on the first floor, and a four level parking building on top (including roof deck).

Klarex, Rufus stands for PBS (Pork Barrel Scam)

CAGAYAN de Oro’s two congressmen went hot in the opposition to the

pork barrel system even as they maintained the need for it to continue on condition that there would be stricter regulations. “You don’t burn the house if you’re just looking for a rat,” argued Rep. Rolando Uy of the city’s 1st District of calls to get rid of the pork barrel system for good.Rep. Rufus Rodriguez of the city’s 2nd District said the abolition of the pork barrel system is a result of a misunderstanding of what the funds are and how these were

actually benefiting citizens. Rallies were showed here and anywhere in the country in response to abolish the pork barrel system. Chief Insp. Henry Cay as estimated there are only about 600 demonstrators. The recent bombings here and elsewhere in Mindanao apparently made many people opt to keep off the streets. Before the rally, Cagayan de Oro Archbishop Antonio Ledesma said that it’s a “grave immoral act. The

Roman Catholic archdiocese released Ledesma’s pastoral letter to encourage citizens to take part in yesterday’s anti-pork barrel demonstrations. Rodriguez said the many projects he implemented in the city’s 2nd District were made possible because of the pork barrel system.They said that it would be unfair to abolish the pork barrel system over allegations that some officials misused the funds. It must not be abolished but would strictly promote a much careful and mindful use of the PDAF.

The scorching heat of the sun did not hinder the

Engineering Stallions from subduing last year’s champion, the Eagles from the College of Business and Accountancy (CBA), in this year’s Sepak Takraw championship held last September 26, 2013 at the Liceo Civic ground.

The Stallions and Eagles wildly played the 2 rounds of ball exchange that sent supporters and even players from opposing teams yelling in excitement until the ball dropped at one side of the court.

Along the stretch of the game, a tekong or player of the game, Renzel Zambrano from CBA Eagles figured a bad sign when his injured leg started bothering him as he executed an overstretched kick to counter attack the cartwheel of an opposing player. The injury affected the game of the Eagles in the last quarter eventually leading to their disadvantages, 15-10 on the same board, in favor of the Stallions.

The Stall ions took advantage of the opposing team’s handicap. Their impressive overhead cartwheels ultimately paved

their way to victory with an overall score of 30-13.

“Our success would not be possible without the College of Engineering faculty, my teammates and CESBO officers,” Xelander E. Padua, team captain, stated.

“Constant practice, determination and good coaches brought us v ictory and tr iumph.” added Padua.

A very close game from the competing College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Business and Accountancy in Mix-Double Category takes the breath away of the supporters around the billiards table of Sport Zone when they both reached the score of 4 and the scoring is race to 5. The indoor game was filled with the crowd’s cheers that echoes in the 4-corner room when they gets wild of betting who’s going to win. They suddenly deafens by the silence as they gets thrilled when Roston Quiblat partner of Wenelee Nagac from CAS hits the cue ball to bang with the number 9 ball and the winning ball rolls over in the table going to the hole and then…shoot! And the whole team of CAS are all roaring in happiness and overwhelm. “We

These words at a cheering competition mean all eyes are drawn to the mats as the

next team gives it all they have to impress the judges.

The last day of Intramurals 2013 marks one of the highlights and most awaited events in the season, the Cheering Competition. Over the years cheering had become much more than chanting for different kinds of sports for showing great support. Now, Cheering is considered as one of the highest sport that would serve as the cherry on top for every sports fest.

Months of preparation, days of sweat, and hours of fortitudes. Each time shows not only the art of winning but the beauty of a solid team spirit. From the close competition last year of the three

challenging colleges of the University, each team portrays different fighting spirit that innovates and heats up the crowd to its highest boiling point.

DENIM VINTAGE

Even though it started out as simple men’s workwear, denim has become a modern-day closet staple for everyone. And with an endless variety of indigo washes, specialty

fabrics, and ever-evolving silhouettes, the styling possibilities are virtually endless.

‘‘One of my favorite fashion trends of this year is the VINTAGE DENIM because it’s classy and it’s perfect for all the guys’ outhere. Vintage looks are

unique, artistic and cool.’’ -Kenny Colanse

From Tribal or Ethnic Prints to Safari Patterns – this cluster of multicultural designs highlights our

fascination for other cultures and our willingness to embrace styles from other regions of the world.

I like tribal inspired fashion because of its

dramatic colors which represents different cultures. This look is not hard to achieve because it’s simple but attractive. -Erwin ramayan

Up close and Personal

with Bryan YuHe may be appearing in our local TV sets as a flashy,

quirky, and witty boy-next-door, yet MagTV’s Bryan YU remains simple and down-to-earth.

by Bonne Zalzos & Lovely Babe Estoista

Sporting a black top that’s beautifully hugging his good physique, Bryan Yu wears his usual dashing smile that sure-ly melts the inner fan girl in us. He wears his favorite perfume of a sweet musk that definite-ly thrills my senses. We shook hands as we began our inter-view, chatting about his hum-ble beginnings as a simple student in Liceo De Cagayan University to his hosting stint in ABS-CBN Northern Mindan-ao’s MagTV.

White Glory An achiever in his early age, Bryan Yu gracefully fin-ished his nursing course and is a registered nurse as he lives a normal life when he was a student. “My life was [in a routine] like school, house, school again, house, and then study.” Bryan said. He may have fun times but limits himself for his studies.

“Sometimes I went out with my batch mates to watch movies but I didn’t stay up too late” he added. He already plotted his orig-inal plans to follow after his mom, who is working abroad but all soon changed when an unexpected opportunity knocks.

Glittering Lights In a unique turning point of his career, Bryan Yu became one of the models for a popular designer in Cagayan De Oro City. It started when he and his friends from their Student Body went on to inquire for sponsor-ship for the acquaintance par-ty for their department. He was chosen as a host for that event when Gil Macaibay, the said designer, picked him to be one of his models for Glitterati. “That [moment] boosted my over-all confidence” Bryan said. He relished the lights and

the runway as he represents Ma-caibay’s latest designs. One fine day, he and his fel-low colleagues in Glitterati got a casting call from a local TV network to be part of a local TV Magazine show. And in another twist of his career, another in-credible opportunity came.

Through The Lens Lights. Runway. Fashion. It is everything a model ever dreamed of. And it was every-thing that Bryan already got in his early age. It may seem that luck is really in his hands, as an-other opportunity is beaming up on him. When ABS-CBN was look-ing for a new male host for a lo-cal TV Magazine, all male mod-els in Glitterati got a casting call. They were to undergo series of workshops, exercises and screen tests. “We were shocked and [the same time] nervous as well because they announced it

“...I don’t use my popularity to act

like a superior one. I never forget to give back all the

glory and honor to our God.”

right away. We were caught off guard because we can’t say NO because we are [physically] present in that venue.” Bryan explains. One by one, they were in-terviewed and made screen tests. “[We were doing it in front of the other models] that’s why it was so embar-rassing. I got cold hands coz I’m not used to it and it is my first.” Bryan said with a laugh as he continues to talk about his very first screen tests. A week after, Bryan got a call from ABS-CBN and found himself astounded as they informed him that he got

chosen as a new host for MagTV na, Ato Ni. He began appearing in local TV in April, along with two female hosts, Maxene Monasterio and Nicole Abas.“Not in my wildest dreams [that I’ll be] an on-cam talent. This oppor-tunity is really something that I love to do.”

Keeping It Cool Though blessings came pour-ing unto him, Bryan never lets his local-found fame get into his head. Bearing the golden lesson he learned from his alma mater, he remained thankful for every-thing that he has. “[It’s] all about loving and appreciating every sin-

gle thing that comes in my way; consider all the things that hap-pens whether it’s good or bad as a blessing that may leads us to success.” Bryan said with a smile. Gaining fans online and offline, Bryan kept his feet on the ground and would want to be treated equally. “Well I always think of myself as an ordinary person, like we’re all equal. And I don’t use my popularity to act like a superior one. I never forget to give back all the glory and honor to our God.” He humbly said as we ended our conversa-tion with another smile. *

audibleROAR

Katy PerryPRISM

We gotta admit, we’ve been hearing

this song load of times during Intramurals. Surely, Katy Perry never fails to make us smile as she smashed another #1 record with ROAR, a carrier single from her new album, PRISM. This smash hit is another self-empowering track, similar to Fireworks, but was deemed darker. ROAR accompanies a cool and a feel-good music video, which features Perry in the wild, living harmoniously with her monkey, elephant and even a tiger, and also we got a glimpse of our very own Taal Volcano in the later part of the music video.

WRECKING BALLMiley Cyrus

Bangerz

Admit it, you’ve played the

song loads of times, and watched the controversial music video while singing along with the teary-eyed Miley Cyrus. Well, we plead guilty for loving this song! Wrecking Ball is Miley Cyrus’ second single from her album, Bangerz. The said single is a heart-wrenching synthpop ballad produced by Dr. Luke and Cirkut. It’s no shocker that the song broke records for being garnering millions of views on YouTube within 24hours, and even topping the charts, making it her first number one hit.

WORK B**CHBritney Spears

The Princess of Pop is definitely back and is currently slaying the charts! Britney Spears’ latest single “Work B**ch” topped the iTunes charts in 44 countries, in just 24 hours, with not a single promotion at all. Talk about the power of Britney Army! “Work B**ch” is written by Spears herself and will.i.am, making it their second collaboration since Scream & Shout. The music video is aalready out and now available on YouTube and her new album will be coming out on December 3rd.

horoscopeOctober

libraSept 23-Oct 22 Although you love your guy/girl to pieces, he/she can get on your nerves. It’s natural! When Pluto an Venus clash on the 15th, that annoyed feeling will be multiplied by a million. It may be a better idea to hang out with friends instead.

ScorpioOct 23-Nov 21 Scorpio’s tend to be suspicious, and your Spidey Sense is telling you that your Bf/Gf is planning something big. The suspense is killing you, but he/she wont spill the surprise till the 17th. It will be even better that you imagined.

SagittariusNov 22-Dec 21 You would love to do something different, like get out of town, and on the 19th, your barkada will be free! Not all of you will have cash to travel, so plan an epic staycay (including the party your crush will attend) that everyone can afford!

CAPRICORNDec 22-Jan 19 Caps love this time of year. there’s o much to plan pefore school starts! but on the 7th, Venus will distract you big-time when you meet someone cute. At first, you’llget so swept away, you’ll drop everything, but by BTS, you’ll find a balance

AquariusJan 20-Feb 18 The school year has been a blast, but you’ve been spending too much cash! Neptune will send you a wake-up call on the 25th, giving you extra time to book work shifts before summer starts. You’ll have plenty of cash to party.

PISCESFeb 19-Mar 20 Between family and school, you haven’t had much time with that special someone and they miss you! Near the 15th, you’ll come up with a cute way to express how much they means to you. P.S: they will have a treat fot you too!

ariesMar 21-Apr 19 Let’s be honest: You can be blunt. Ninety-nine percent of the time, your Bf/Gf can brush off your pointed com-ments, but on the 15th, he/she will be super-sensitive to snark. If you tap your soft side (you do have one), you can avoid hurt feelings.

TaurusApr 20-May 20 You’ve been feeling scattered, losing track of time, texts, even your keys. It’s so unlike you, but there’s no need to stress. Once the moon turns full on the 31st, you’ll go back to your Zen self- and an at-home spa day will return your Taurus glow!

GeminiMay 21-Jul 22 You have a great idea for a side business, but you’rre short of money. On the 18th, Mercury will introduce you to someone who’d love to team up with you and who has start up cash. You two will make fantastic partners (and friends)!

LEOJul 23-Aug 22 Rawr! Leos will be their larger-that-live selves this month, only more so. When the sun links with Jupiter on the 23rd, your energy will attract your crush like a magnet. Finally- a person who’s not intimidated by your boldness!

CancerJun 21-Jul 22 When Mars moves into your romance area on the 23rd, a longtime friend could turn into a hot fling. The prob? Your BFF could have trouble dealing with the new romance, since she is used to the three of you hanging out as buds.

VIRGOAug 23-Sep 22 You’re out-growing a friend you’ve had for ages and she can sense it. The last thing you’d want to do is hurt her, and thankfully on the 22nd, the sun will help you figure out how to let her go in a kind way. She’ll be okay.

Uncover Kinoguitan

It’s hard to dispute the replenishing effect of a change of scene. When we travel somewhere there’s usually something about the look of a place that we like and

which will contrast nicely with where we spend most of our life living and working – some nice mountains, perhaps, or lush greenery, a sea view, golden sands.

When we head for the seaside, is it the glare of the beach that revitalizes us, or is it the sound of the waves crashing? Our ears need a break from normal routines as much as our eyes do. And if we were to go very deliberately in search, not of stimulating landscapes but of novel soundscapes, which places should grab our attention?

KINOGUITAN – Home in an ultimate location. Sitting at the foothills to the Greenery Mountain that provides breathtaking views of the vast indigo ocean straight from an island nearby, Camiguin Island.
