Batch 2008
To my fellow Marista,
The noblest thing that one could ever have is to be declared graduate. It is with pride that I take this occasion to greet each one of us a happy graduation and warm congratulations as we reap partially the fruit of our continuing dedication, hard work and strong determination to succeed.
Kudos also to our parents, teachers, friends and relatives for giving us invaluable support and proper guidance to live up the virtues of St. Marcellin towards the attainment of our goals.
Graduation is not the end of the road but a beginning in the journey of one’s search for his true place in the world of work. Failure and discouragement may overcome confidence and determination but all we have to do is to try again and fall, remember that great gains often come from great losses.
May God bless our daily endeavor especially as we take another chapter of our life. Take a step higher in the ladder of success one at a time, keeping in mind that God is merciful, and that we need not lose heart.
Once again Congratulations, Good Luck and see you next time with tie.
Long Live Batch 2008!
Michael Angelo U. Villanueva
Alumni President
My Other Shoe
Hello, my wonderful husband,
the world knew you as Dwayne,
but you were my other shoe,
and I’ll never have a love like yours again.
You see, you were such a beautiful person,
beautiful on the in and the out,
you taught me some valuable life lessons,
you taught me what love was all about.
And now I miss you so very much,
it hurts me way deep inside,
I’ve cried my river, I’ve cried my lake
and then still, I’ve cried and cried.
I loved you with all my heart,
I loved you with all my soul,
and now that you’ve left me,
I no longer feel completely whole.
Levi was only 3 when you left,
and that little boy misses you so,
last night I explained why we got married,
and this is something the world needs to know:
You know when you have two shoes that go together,
so that’s the only shoe you can wear with the other one,
that is what you were to me, my other shoe,
and that’s exactly what I told our son.
I know you loved our boy so very much,
and when he was born you were immensely proud,
you wanted to tell the world how happy you were,
I think you would’ve sung from the roof-tops (if allowed).
You were loved by so many,
the smartest, funniest guy I’ve ever met,
you were easy going, an easy rider,
never owed anybody anything, never in debt.
Because you had an attitude where it was never that bad,
you never worried about a single thing,
you made more people laugh with your poems and sayings,
and everybody just loved to hear you sing.
You were not quite as prolific as Red,
but I could tell that you loved me every day,
and now I miss everything you do,
I miss everything I’ve ever heard you say.
“I get better looking everyday, and it’s almost tomorrow”,
you didn’t need a mirror, mirror on the wall,
because you liked yourself, you were confident,
you never had any fears at all.
You were never jealous, never any doubts,
a big guy, with lots of love for his boy,
I know you loved him more than the moon and stars,
I truly know he was your pride and joy.
And it’s tragic you left so early,
but maybe heaven had another plan,
I’ve heard they need good people up there,
and I know, there’ll never be a finer man.
And if you’d chosen the way to go,
you would’ve preferred not to have any warning,
you’d want to be happy with a heart full of love,
riding your Harley on one beautiful morning.
And that’s exactly how you went,
happy, loved, whistling and carefree,
and we’re lucky to have shared our time,
you made the world a better place to be.
And we’ll look after your memory,
everyday, we’ll hold you close to our heart,
because you are still very much a part of us,
and it’s such a loving, happy and wonderful part.
So keep riding your Harley for me,
and one day, I’ll be riding pillion with you,
and in the meantime, just know that you’re loved,
in fact, I’ll love you forever, my other shoe.

Notre Dame Our Mother
Notre Dame our Mother
Tender, strong and true
Proudly in the heavens
Gleams the gold and blue
Glorious mantle cloaks thee
Golden in thy fame
And our hearts forever
Praise thee Notre Dame
And our hearts forever
Love thee Notre Dame
Marist Hymn to Mary
Ever forever, we will sing to Mary
Who in her love bids us come to her shrine
Ever forever, Mother highly blessed
List to our praise which sings thy name sublime
Waking at morn, we’ll call to thee our mother
Thy name shall lead our spirit of the day
And when night’s angel soft shall close our eyelids
E’en then, our homage to thee, we will pay.
Ever forever, this our glory shall be
To lead a life that is hid and unknown
Ever forever, we will honor Mary
Making her rare humility our own
Should we be scorned as Jesus was before us
Lowly and meek abiding in His love
May we for Him and for our tender Mother
Spurn pride and seek only things froms above.
Graduation Song
“Whenever You Remember”
When you look back on times we had
I hope you smile
And know that through the good and through the bad
I was on your side when nobody could hold us down
We claimed the brightest star
And we, we came so far
And no they won’t forget
[Chorus]
Whenever you remember times gone by
Remember how we held our heads so high
When all this world was there for us
And we believed that we could touch the sky
Whenever you remember, I’ll be there
Remember how we reached that dream together
Whenever you remember
When you think back on all we’ve done
I hope you’re proud
When you look back and see how far we’ve come
It was our time to shine
And nobody could hold us down
They thought they’d see us fall
But we, we stood so tall
And no we won’t forget
Whenever you remember times gone by
Remember how we held our heads so high
When all this world was there for us
And we believed that we could touch the sky
Whenever you remember, I’ll be there
Remember how we reached that dream together
Whenever you remember
Yeah, Oh
We claimed the brightest star
And we, we came so far
You know that we, we showed them all
And no they won’t forget
Yeah
Whenever you remember times gone by
Remember how we held our heads so high
When all this world was there for us
And we believed that we could touch the sky
Whenever you remember, I’ll be there
Remember how we reached that dream together
Whenever you remember
Whenever you remember
Oh, whenever you remember
