"looked back at last year's Recognition when Randolph J. Dollisen and Frankie Toledo were not given the Journalism Award which they so deserve." - Jude Buot
It's ok, Sir Jude. For we deeply know in our hearts that what we had accomplished as a TEAM deserves more than a recognition. You know, for a fact, that it took us almost everything we could imagine just to keep AD INFINITUM going.. From budget constraints down to the simple gathering of articles, you and Maam Phoebe were there to aid us all the way.
We are the so called “pioneers” for this venture. I miss dealing opportunities like how to publish our paper, how to get money for it and so on. What saddens my hearts is that the group is not that active anymore. No efforts coming from the executive council (CSM-EC). If only I am still in position, somehow I could help the group manage.
I, personally, am not after recognition or awards. All we wanted was to be heard and to tell everyone that we, CSM Pipz, have some stored talents in writing as well. That our minds are not only set for propagating simple equations to make it more complex or the other way around. CSM has skills in writing as well.
Looking back, I say, I find it very fulfilling that despite all the adversities that the group had faced, we had still managed to keep A.I for at most 3 Years. I had been a writer once, an editor and then, lastly, I had been an EIC. I am very happy to have work with you all. Those memories are truly PRICELESS!...
THANK YOU Sir Jude & Ma’am Phoebe for all the patience and expertise you had shared with us – scribblers (that’s how we use to call ourselves)! I miss you both, super! To Randolph Dollisen, you had always been my idol. I was a follower to your creative works. Thank you for being so kind and for being so persistent in reaching our goal, as a group. I also would like to commend Kuya MARK from the Chemistry Department - the first EIC. I will never forget you.. Our times we spent negotiating at DSA just for us to gain financial assistance and to luckily publish our own publication. Those were the times.. Yeah! That one! That's what motivates A.I! Huhuhu.. I wish other people could, at least, somehow recall our efforts in putting up all these..
I MISS WRITING SO BADLY! I can attest that I am a lot more confident in writing than in speaking. I just don’t know. Maybe, there are really people who share the same sentiments as I do. I am still not that “great” in this field but slowly, I will be able to get there. Things do improve with time.. Someday I will prove my worth.. Hehehe.. Thanks Sir Jude for recollecting all these memories... It is very touching.. It is nice to know that there are still people who still REMEMBER! Thank you so much. This is too much of a recognition already. c".b
