- i specifically didn't mention padlocks for lockers kasi there is one locker in a room. i guess roommates will have to decide which clothes to hang. and you cannot lock it kasi masisira ang locker.

• wlang masasampayan so basically, mgpapalaundry. (last year we (MA’AM JEN) got it for 25/kilo dun sa laundry service nila mam myrna. i don't know if they could go lower. there was another laundry shop na nag-offer ng 20/kilo pero they couldn't deliver on time)

HOW TO GET THERE?

FOR PRIVATE VEHICLES: Take exit to Batangas/Lucena and course through approximately 3 hours of travel. the objective is to get to Tayabas, Quezon, follow the main road. there are big directional signs that are easy to follow. you will pass through several towns namely: (in order) Sta. Tomas, Alaminos, San Pablo, Tiaong, Candelaria, Sariaya, then finally Tayabas. (you can actually skip lucena city and avoid traffic.) Reaching Tayabas town proper, you will be in graceland in less than 30 minutes.

FOR THOSE TAKING PUB (MY NOTE: I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST AND HAPPINESS IN LIFE DAHIL GOODLUCK SA PAG DADALA NG BAHAY NYO): find a suitable bus liner in buendia pasay. you can choose from Jam (infront of EGI Tower), Lucena Lines (along side Jam), Jac Liner (infront of Pasay Adventist Church). there are also available bus lines in cubao, and dela rosa alabang. from batangas city you can ride Supreme Transit. All of these go to one point, LUCENA GRAND CENTRAL TERMINAL. From the terminal, jeepney rides are available headed towards Lucban. I think aimone people will assist in giving directions in the terminal. then, ask the driver to get you to Graceland.

NO PARKING FEES FOR VEHICLES THAT WILL BE USED TO TAKE YOU THERE. PARENTS CAN VISIT YOU, WE WILL DISCUSS THE DATES.

RULES AND REGULATION TO FOLLOW. BUT ON OUR ARRIVAL WE WILL MEET THE GRACELAND AUTHORITIES BEFORE WE ACTUALLY CHECK-IN. TO TIGHTEN UP SECURITY AND STRAIGHTEN OUR RESPONSIBILITIES TO THE PROPERTY. YOU WILL BE ALLOWED TO GET OUT OF GRACELAND ON LONG WEEKENDS ONLY. AND PARENTS SHOULD GIVE CONSENT TO YOUR GOING OUT OF GRACELAND FOR WHATEVER REASON. I AM POSITIVE THAT NO HARM WILL BEFALL ANY OF US, KAYA SUPER EMERGENCY NA KAPAG LUMABAS KAYO OUT OF SKED. VISITING PARENTS CAN STAY OVERNIGHT IN OTHER QUARTERS NOT OCCUPIED BY STUDENTS. I DON'T KNOW THE RATES.

ONE PILLOW PER STUDENT WILL BE PROVIDED WITH PILLOW CASES. LINENS WILL BE CHANGED EVERY MONDAYS, WEDNESDAYS, AND FRIDAYS. LAUNDRY DAYS WILL BE ALTERNATE WITH LINEN CHANGE. YOU CAN BRING YOUR FAVORITE PILLOWS AND YOUR BEDDINGS. BATH TOWELS WILL NOT BE PROVIDED, SO PLEASE PREPARE TO CARRY 2 PCS. FOOT RAGS ARE OPTIONAL, PLEASE PLAN WITH YOUR ROOMMATES, BUT THEY WILL SWEEP OFF THE DIRT EVERYDAY, SO MAKE SURE YOUR THINGS ARE ALWAYS TIDY WHEN YOU LEAVE YOUR ROOMS.

GRACELAND WILL PROVIDE WATER IN WATER DISPENSERS (WITH HOT AND COLD SWITCHES) BUT PLEASE DO NOT ABUSE IT. TAKE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN CONSUME AND REFILL IF NECESSARY. DISPENSERS WILL BE ALLOTED PER HALL SO NO NEED TO WORRY.

FOR OUR BATCH SINGERS/INSTRUMENTALISTS/MUSICIANS: please bring pieces of your songs, just in case you will be asked to sing during worship.

Watch out for announcements concerning room arrangements, bus payments, worship schedule later. Pakispread nalang to sa iba ha. Thanks! :D

1 Corinthians 10:31 "Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God."

It's scary to think of, but the thing is, we may not all pass the board exam. We might not get 100%. But in the end, it's not going to be about whether we topped, or whether we passed, or whether we failed, it's about whether or not we did it for God's glory. So ICONS, let's all examine our hearts to check whether our motives are pure. But remember, just because you're doing something for God's glory and not your own doesn't mean you have to be less than perfect. In fact, when you're doing something for God, the more you'll strive for excellence, because HE deserves nothing less. Kaya aral aral na tayo, let's pray every night, let's pray every day, let's make HIM proud.
