Balay Lampirong: House Council 2011-2012

               Batch 2011-2012: House Council

Where is our sexy adviser?

                Modesty aside, Balay Lampirong has always been known for being the dorm with the most events. True enough, an event wouldn’t be successful without the participation of the dormers, and of course the people behind it. At the start of the semester, the dormers are given the chance to choose the people they think that deserve and are capable to decide whether their first year in the dorm would be memorable or not.The House Council Officers Batch 2011 - 2012 are Jenny Boy Villalva as President, Khristian Mark Donguines as Secretary General, Ana Marie Grace Macahilas as Liaison Officer, Lorie Lacson and Jose Maria Paolo Santos as Finance Officers for Girls and Boys, Dawn Marie Castro (yours truly) as Annex Wing Representative, Christia Ulson as Lower Wing Girls Representative, Mia Juan Loa as Upper Wing Girls Representative, Alvin Maghopoy as Lower Wing Boys Representative, and Ace Marc Tutor as Upper Wing Boys Representative. We also have our Associates, Mark Allan Rezaga for the Lower Wing Boys and Aubrey Julianne Tumala for the Upper Wing Girls. Under the supervision of our dear adviser Dan Aleias Cayabyab.

We are people with creative and crazy minds. Coming from different backgrounds, we unexpectedly jived well as time went by. Whenever meetings are held, the mini-library becomes a kitchen of ideas where we act as cooks that meticulously choose and think of ingredients that would make the events we serve as interesting and enjoyable as possible. Besides the traditional ones, we thought of other activities in which to make the dormers’ stay in the dorm more memorable. We were the first to spearhead the “House Cup” that enflamed the dormers spirit of competition and of course, united the dormers even more.

Originally, meetings should be done formally in order to tackle all the important details, but there are times when we just enjoy ourselves and do music videos and other stuffs. Of course, it is not only happy moments that happen between the council. Misunderstandings are normal, but we do our best to fix things as quickly as possible. At the end of the day, we still come up with great ideas.

The House Council Officers Batch 2011 – 2012 continued the legacy of greatness of the former batches. (Hindi ko lang sinasabi to dahil part ako nang house council pero, I believe, we didn’t let the alumni and the dormers down naman with the way we handled the activities.) Personally, being part of the House Council was a very life-changing experience. I learned how to balance my time and most of all to prioritize. I also learned to put others needs’ before mine.

Cheers to all of us for a successful and unforgettable year! XD
