I'm not exactly sure about what an illuminaris is but anyway I think it's a paperbag with a candle in it for lighting & mud for moisture [and in case it burns].
Last night was the soph night of ateneo, Ce Soir and man was it boring!.. It was so boring that we started tearing the paper of the "illuminaris" and burnt the pieces of paper on the candle.. We even ended up burning ONE illuminaris and it was like the most amusing thing that happened that night [what a way to catch everyone's attention at the beginning of the night! xD] The music was just so loud and song selections were bad.. and the whole program.. well.. I didn't really know how exactly the program went 'cause the whole time, I was just out, walking around the campus, away from the covered courts.. Despite the soph night's boredom, I had fun with the person I was with.. We just walked, talked.. and talked.. It was fun.. We walked in & out of the soph night venue.. walked around the campus.. sat down & chat.. we even went to the GESU.. it is so beautiful!.. We sat there & talked then suddenly we talked to the statue of Jesus in front of us and we got freaked out thinking that the statue would start moving & talk to us.. creepy!!.. haha.. so we decided to head back to the high school grounds & just sit down & chat.. Thanks to him, the night was awesome.. ^_^
