I’m a God girl, that’s who I’ll be.

From the top of my head,

To the soles of my feet.

And I can’t change it.

  I can’t deny it.

Wouldn’t even try it.

I’m His girl.

In a crazy world.

  And when my ears start to hear

People say: “Don’t fear.”

I know I’m a God girl.

There you go again making me love you

You’re stuck in my body like a tattoo

Making me come back to you

And stuck again with a moment with you

  You’re a falling star

You’re a getaway car

When you go too far

You’re still in my heart

  And in this crazy life

And in this crazy time

You make me sing

Death is upon me

Darkness is the only thing I see

It seems that sadness has taken away my sanity

And my desire to live happily

I was once a cheerful man

Full of hope and always had a brilliant plan

But the reason of the sudden suppression of my optimism

Is caused by terrible pain and my heart and mind in great schism

Because of my only love who perished

Has brought death to me because of my feelings, so feverish

And now I’m in my own lonely reverie

Because of my fallen love, my heart like an ivory

Is now shattered beyond repair

                  Misamis Oriental State College of Agriculture and Technology celebrates its 31st Foundation Anniversary with the theme, “‘One MOSCAT at 31st Responding to the Globalization of Philippine Higher Education.” Its main purpose is to strengthen and unite the MOSCAT family starting from the administration, faculty, and staff, till the students during the Intramural Games and throughout the year. The theme used was also from last year because the President wanted to cultivate further the unity of all MOSCATians.

                  The aim to respond globally was included in the theme. MOSCAT and its administrators as well as the faculty, staff and students are striving hard to respond globally. The school has undergone many changes since then. These changes brought improvement and motivation to the school to continue responding globally in order to raise the standards of MOSCAT. Being a part of this globalization seems to have a great effect to the students as well. It raised the number of enrollees of the school which was a huge leap.

An oath we took

A promise we dare not forsook

Solemn as the vivid waters

Of the lake which sparkled

Under the moonlit sky

  Child as we may be

But our oath on that day

We took it seriously

A vow which entails

That we will be there for each other

Come hell or high water

  With all of our hearts

We wished for it desperately

A friendship that conquers it all

Though not a perfect one out there

We still longed for it

A friendship that would last
