She was a daughter of Zeus, described as a beautiful woman. Her abduction by Paris triggered off a series of events which finally ended in the Trojan War.

memory 1: class ni ma'am kristine dela cruz. i loved that day so much. i didn't imagine my classmates would go strip in our class. not the kind of stripping whores do on clubs though lols. they only took off their clothes (which include shirt, pants and BRA haha), gave them to their groupmates and hid behind the large curtain of the AVR. we were having a group activity that day in which we need to buy the materials needed from our teacher. however, cash is not accepted. so inorder to buy them, we also need to sell something in return and that includes our things. since some of my classmates dont have much things with them, they decided to sell their clothes for the benifit of the group. (i dun have any pic of them hiding behind the huge curtain. if i find one, i'll updte this blog and post their cute pic :] )

memory 2: 2010.02.24, i sang infront of cele zdravi. that was a shameful experience indeed. but im proud of myself for not fainting during the performance. that would have been more shameful right?! anyways, that day, my group was tasked to conduct a seminar to the nearly graduated student nurses of our batch. like every other seminar, we need to showcase an intermission number in between the talks or during the snack break of the seminar. i was already informed that i would be performing an acoustic version of 'i dont care' (by 2ne1) the day before however i didn't take it too seriously. i thought they were only joking since we like to kid around. however, totoo pala yun lahat. i told myself, okay lang yan, at least may kasabay naman akong kakanta diba?! pero i was so wrong pala. sa pagkamalas pa ng group namin, ngbrownout that day saka nasira pa yung generator ng school namin (darn!) so hayun, in the middle (well not really in the middle, medyo lang ^_^) of my batchmates and CI (super darn talaga) i sang the acoustic version. kuya chico played the beatbox while ronan james of section a played the guitar naman.



memory 3: always may late sa 7:30 am class. oh yeah this is true! in fact, im part of the late comers of the class. i sometimes pity our teachers tuloy; they come early to class but get disappointed to find only a few students kasi usually, we come in mga 30 minutes later then the exact time. so bale, di lang kami late, late na late kami :D. during our first semester, our 7:30am class is world literature. because our teacher was trying to be patient with our class especially to the late comers, ginawa nyang 7:45am na lang yung class namin. bale yung 15minutes, hintayan na lang sa mga dadating na students. kaso, we're stubborn eh; meron pa ring nalelate and if i can remember clearly, someone even came mga 30minutes na lang before ang next period. lols. i remember once, mr. lim came in late tapos he said he was tired daw coz he didn't get enough sleep. so hayun, he fell asleep sa whole period. buti our teacher didn't caught him. poor mr. lim, he's late na nga tapos tutlugan pa nya ang class. lolsthis is not the final video na sinubmit namin sa teacher namin. i forgot to get a copy of the final one kasi eh. anyways, wala namang masyadong nagbago sa final vid. inedit lang para di makita yung bintana ng bahay nina crystal :)
