Celebrating achievements and friendship, the Pylon way...

Purple shirts, multi-colored prints, cold rooms, comfy beds, great food, breathtaking view, awesome beach, inexhaustible picture-taking, a ceremonial toast, exuberant Cultural Night, sad farewells, happy hellos, untiring movie marathons, boys vs. girls game of Charades, rapturous swimming, a big, and very happy family.

The 4th Yearbook Camp was indeed a blast! As the organizer of the event, I am very pleased with all the outcome. The smiles on the faces of the participants, the contented faces of the advisers, and the taps on the shoulders and congratulations from everybody have wiped away the weariness that I felt that time. Although, it was just short, still, everybody enjoyed a lot.

The evaluation of the Pylon 2009 brought joy and inexplicable happiness to everyone. The feedback from the different campuses were heartwarming and flattering. Aside from a few minor errors, which I think can never be avoided, the Pylon 2009 brought a positive feedback and many compliments from the graduates, the faculty and staff, the administrators, and the university president. Everybody is so glad and overjoyed with the comments of the advisers.

"This is the best yearbook I ever saw, the best yearbook we've ever produced. Congratulations." Those were the words of the university president, as narrated by Ma'am Lucille, our external campus adviser. "The comments and responses that we've heard really made our hearts grow big," said Ma'am Lucille.

The Planning for the Pylon 2010 then followed. We've come up with a good theme for the next book and everybody are excited to start getting their hands to work. The new staff line up was made known to everybody and the new heads were introduced.

The highlight of the event was the Cultural Night, showcasing the hidden talents of every Pylonite (*wink). Every department presented their unique and crazy talent presentations. We also paid tribute to the graduating Pylonites. We made AVP's and other stuffs for them. The farewell part was the saddest and tears were shed as we bid goodbye and wished them good luck. A ceremonial toast was also done in celebration of the success of the Pylon 2009 and for good luck for the Pylon 2010. It also signifies unity and productivity of the Pylon.

Another event will follow the Yearbook Camp- the 1st Pylon Summer Seminar Workshop, which will be done starting March 30. A series of seminars and lectures are organized in preparation for the next edition of the Pylon.

I am sharing here some pics from the camp:
