nostalgia

I have been so overwhelmed with all my college friends. I believed that the high school-is-the-best thought isn’t true, it is actually in college that you meet your truest friends.

Maybe. Maybe not.

I think I’ve just said that because, as I’ve said, I was overwhelmed. The fact that I got to study in UP for my degree, with the unique culture, very diverse people and all… it all somehow made me believe that my UP life is actually the best.

At some point, it really is. But I must not forget my high school years. There have been many best times within those four years, too.

I just finished watching Little Manhattan, and I was reminded of how wonderful things can be when you’re still young and everything’s just a start. It’s fun to know what you ought to do when something comes up, but it’s a little more fun to not to know, you get what I mean? It’s like, you discover things and make them work out, and when they do, it feels good. Especially when you’re still young. It’s like telling the world, “hey, did you see that? Even if I’m young I make things work out.”

It’s so different when you’re in college. Everybody expects you to make everything work out, and you can’t use ignorance as an excuse. Life’s really harder.

I really feel great whenver I think about my college friends. The lakan people, whom I’ve been with since my first sem in UP, my friends at the dorm and in the college…

Sometimes I do not think of my high school friends anymore, I often even say I don’t know them anymore, that so much has changed since we all last saw each other. But after watching the film… there’s this hidden desire to once again be with the people I spent four years in that old Laboratory High School building in BSU.

At the end of the film, the song In My Life just added to the feeling. That song we sang during our Seniors’ Ball… it has this nostalgic effect on me. I remembered the stupid quarrels with the “mean girls”, the rondalla practice, the PMT trainings, the usual tambays at ate dianne’s store and the oval, the old grandstand (now gone) and the “mini forest” (now a gasoline station) which became known as “the jungle” when we started spending time there (that means we were the “animals”, hehe), the teachers we make fun of, the monthly activities of the clubs, the pageants, programs at the gym, flag ceremonies, flag retreats, JS prom, bulletin boards contests (this brings out the creative side of all sections, and was a major bonding moment for the self-proclaimed artists of each class. *ehem ehem*), the belly corner, jorwees, boulevard, intrams, foundation week, periodical exams, the uniforms and id’s, and of course, the classmates you see everyday… I miss all these pala…

Trivia: I’ve never been to my former school since I graduated on April 03, 2002. why? I felt there’s no reason to go back there. My hs barkada isn’t there (there’s 5 of us in the group, 3 went to UP diliman, LB and Manila, 1 to UST and the other 1 to Regina), and some close friends also went to other schools.

I suddenly looked forward to the day some of us have set to be a mini reunion: February 05, 2012. it’ll be the same day we planned to meet, just 10 years after.

I hope they’d also remember.

Btw, here’s my favorite part of the song:

I know I’ll never ever lose affection
For people and things
I still can recall
I know I’ll often stop and think about them
In my life
I love them all…

(for those I never get to be together again for long: eiselle, pong, eric, rj, arkaye, mimi, eva, wilmar, shao --- I miss you all.)

UP Lakan's CATalinuhan

i just got to the dorm from St. Mary's College, Baliuag, Bulacan, where the second part of UP Lakan's CATalinuhan was held. uhmmm.. ok lang nmn. around 200 students came, mostly from SMCB and St. Paul San Rafael.

Some alumni came. unang dumating c kuya wreckz. nakakahiya, kasi wala na siyang kilala sa resident mems. hindi niya din ako inabutan sa lakan, but i greeted him with a loud "kuya wreckz!" when i saw him. epal lng talaga ko sa mga alumni, feeling ko kasi khit d nila ko kilala dapat batiin ko sila. lalo kung narerecognize ko nmn sila. hindi niya kilala, but at least he knew somebody knows him pa din. lakan p din siya. kaya lang kasi nung dumating siya nagtuturo n ko ng language, so hidi ko n din siya nakausap. ayun. umalis tuloy agad...wala ksing kumakausap sa kaniya. kainis ung ganung attitude ng resident mems. hmpf. hindi tuloy sila nag-abot nila momma ei and mommee vena... ung dalawa nmn umalis din agad nung nagturo n ulit ako, di man lang kmi nakapagpicture...

next week sa Francisco Homes College nmn. sana mas madaming mems ang dumating, kasi kanina muntik p yatang kulangin sa magddiscuss. saka sana may alumni din. kuya brye punta ka. hehe.

after the sickness

it's been a while since my last post. im feeling perfectly fine now.

last week is a very "informative" one for me. i bonded with three of my closest dormmates, we just talked about almost everything we thought we ought to talk about, mostly about our relationships with other people and with the members of the (dance) group.

i was really happy to have spent the time with them, i missed moments like that. plus, it's an adventure to hide in the dark in yakal lobby until 5:30 in the morning (i think we started the kwentuhan at 11pm), then run up to our rooms para hindi kami mahuli ni ate guard. haha! nice nice experience. uulitin nmin. hehe.

what else... we got our PJRR july. yes kuya brye, i know, i have yet to comment in your blog.

about my friend with whom i had a cold war... we talked just now, not because we want to settle things once and for all, but because she missed me na daw. ha! that was her choice nmn if she wanted to preserve the friendship. i gave her the chance and choice to defend herself or kahit awayin niya p ko, basta magusap kami. i was just really against her new "love interest". i still think it's unfair to her ex and to God. if you're getting confused with the pronoun im using, yes, she's a she. and yes, with a new girlfriend. another yes, she's a lesbian. and no, we're not romantically attracted to each other.

wrong timing.

may sakit pa din ako nung monday, nde ako nakapasok ng j105 (8:30-11:30).

i had a check-up in the UHS, sa infirmatay, hehe. d doctor prescribed some drugs, and rugby. joke lng. hehe. and issued me a med cert.

at sa hapon, nde p dn ako ok, so nde p dn ako nakapasok. sadnes....

at eto ang da best na balita. tuesday, ok n ko. i did all my homeworks ke sir arao regarding my research work. kmsta nmn, wala palang class. kmpf. sana ngayon n lng ako nagkasakit. arrrrrgh.

dapat talaga naiisked ang pagkakasakit eh.

tapos ung pc ko nmn, ayaw magstart. d ko alam kung bket. buti n lng nde ggmitin ni carlet itong kanyang laptop. haaaayyy... arrgh talaga.

tpos knina, ka-chat ko c ano. tpos bigla b nmng nawala nang nde nagpapaalam?!?!?! kachat lng nya ung ex nya nakalimutan n ko. arrrrgh talaga. ulit.

im sick.

i was right. im not feeling well. i woke up saturday morning not feeling any good.

and discovering that a friend of mine's flirting with another girl after leaving a very recent girlfriend did not help at all. to make it worse, when i told my friend how i felt about the whole thing, being unfair to the ex and all, and everything else that i cant discuss fully here, we're now having a cold war. so much for a concerned friend. another sigh.

i came home at 10 am, and everybody's busy there. my cousin from australia's coming for his 22nd bday, and unfortunately for me, we'll celebrate it at jed's: the famous calumpit resort. kmsta nmn ako, with cold and a little headache,naging cameralady...ang saya. grabe. para akong ung nasa commercial ng disudrin, hindi nakapaligo sa water hose kc may sakit.

donita, FOPC, sinigang.

a lot happened this past weekend.

on friday night, i stayed in the dorm instead of going home. i attended our youth service called "yo jam" in the UP film center (victory Christian fellowship). the guest speaker was the ever lovely and funny mtv vj donita rose. she's soooooooooo kulet. and yes, she really is pretty.

anyway, that friday was also the night of FOPC concert for freshies, pero pwede din shemps mga oldies and on_uP pipol, aka "JJ" aka "jumping jologs". u know, those pipol wearing black everything with all these accesories and weird hairdo's roaming around the event venue, kasi they cant afford the ticket so they just watch/listen from the outside, eating fishballs and smoking.

for the past three years, im always present at that concert, either selling tickets at the booth or checking the bags of those who enter Bahay ng Alumni, then later in the evening when the really big bands are already there, we'll shift posts with the other member orgs and go backstage, calling the bands for them to get ready or just to chat or take pictures with them.

but this year, lakan did not bother to apply for membership in the fopc, so im stripped off the free entrance and backstage pass. sigh.

by this time, i felt im starting to get sick. i missed my mom's sinigang.
