SocioComm Corner: More than meets the eye

By Loree Sicat, Socio-Cultural Committee Chairperson

Artists, kikays, malantung, aparisyun – four words that always come to one’s mind when hearing the name of my beloved committee, the Socio-Cultural Committee. So now I am going to explain why these words became synonymous with socio.

Artists – Members taking up the courses Architecture, Fine Arts, Landscape Archi, Interior Design and the likes usually end up being a SocioComm member. Why? Because we are so damn talented we are always able to make unique, incredible and breathtaking shirt, trophy, and backdrop designs. And being a Socio Commmember gives you the honor and pride of showing your talent to all the Capampangans during events like The Pautakan and Sining.

Kikays
– Sexy and beautiful girls. Drop-dead gorgeous guys. What can I say? We were given the talent as well as the looks. We can do nothing about it (even if we like to!). Even other people can’t do anything. So, in order to stop feeling insecure and jealous, they resort to calling us “kikays’ and uh…”kikoys” for the Socio guys. You can call us whatever you like but I doesn’t change the fact that we have the looks, the body, and the talent. (And deep in your heart, you just love the way we approach the tambayan and then give our heart-stopping smile. Hehe!)

Malantung
– who in the world planned to destabilize us and used this cruel word to call us Socio members? We were never malantung, believe me. It just so happens that guys go crazy over us Socio Girls. It is really hard having bunch of admirers and yes, even stalkers! And again, we can do nothing about this dilemma. L We are very tired of hiding so, what can we do? Do you have any suggestion to solve this? We don’t have a choice, do we? So we just try entertain our admirers and then people call us malantung. *sigh*

Aparisyun
– I can only give you two reasons why we don’t show ourselves often:
*When we couldn’t take it and we just have to hide from our admirers and
*Most of the we have to be alone and find peaceful environment in order to produce our masterpieces.
Besides, why do you always notice our absence anyway? Is it because Aguman will not be complete without us? Hehe!

Four words, four reasons why being a Socio-Cultural Committee member makes one unique. However, being unique is not easy. You have to be responsible. And seriously, being a SocioComm member does not mean that you have to take things lightly, be less active, or make “aparisyon”. It also doesn’t mean that you only show yourself during the org’s important events. Remember, you are a part of one whole committee. And being a part of a whole, you have to share and cooperate for the whole committee to perform well. You joined a committee and doing so means that you know that you have your obligations and you have to fulfill them responsibly. I know that my committee is far from perfect. But I also know that with a touch of unity and cooperation from us members, we definitely can do everything!

Now, there are only three months left before Sining 2008. Of course, I feel uncertain, nervous and dread. But so what? I have the whole SocioComm by my side and the Agupips behind me. What a powerhouse team! I am very much ready! The Socio-Cultural Committee is more than ready! And now, prepare your lipstick, I mean talent! Let’s GO!

And now, sasamantalahin ko na.. haha!
