wow... finally, finishing the first suicidal year of college, 3 more years and i'll be graduating... be working abroad, having my own house and earning a lot (hopefully)!! hehe...

10 months of hardships, 24 subjects taken up, almost 50 new friends, a 100 thousand gastos and probably half a year of puyat, puyat, and more puyat!!!

a year ago, i was really really excited of graduating from high-school and stepping into college... i though that college was all about gimmicks, inuman, yosi yosi (i used to smoke... used to! i don't smoke anymore) and fun, fun, fun! but... i was so so wrong!!! college... haay... sounds exciting but its not... everyones so serious, attendance is a matter of life and death...hehe... kasi kahit may sakit ka, kailangan mo talagang pumasok! at first, sobrang nahirapan akong magadjust, with the people (especially my blockmates who are sooo matino...), the environment and the professors... pero after a few weeks things became a lot better especially when i met my current bestfriends (juno, madel and renzy)... we just laugh and tease each other most of the time, but we still are very serious with our studies ofcourse. there were a lot of projects and activities that were assigned to our section, these were the times when all our ideas and talents begun to show... this was when we start acting and thinking as group, as a section, as a family...

first...
this activitie made us (i think) kinda popular... i mean, our costumes were great... we all wear different, colorful, daring costumes... this was when we danced around school, actually we didn't really danced coz the mobile people was really really late, but we did dance and we all gave everything that we can give, we all had fun... this was for our filipino class anyway... we did the MARDIGRA... it was so cool, although i was disgusted first because we all are required to dance... but after a few late night practices, i was actually enjoying it... then came the day we've all been waiting for, the day we thought that would end our life... there we are in front of the gym, standing under the hot sun and we are all ready to dance and show everyone what we've been doing for the past few weeks... but... shit the mobile wasn't there... how can we dance without music?! already in front of the chapel, still no elisha (my classmate who's been talking to the mobile guy!)... then we were like a block away from the ground where we we'll be performing the other dance... there she is with the speakers in the jeep... yey!!! we all cheered... fritz, our group leader/choreographer was about to cry na... we were all relieved to see elisha with the mobile... then, they played our song, let's get retarded by black eyed peas... we all danced like hell... gave everything and had fun!!! then the final dance, it was held in front of one of the CLA buildings at lasalle... we were given 5 mins each group, since we combined with the other section, we have to split the time with them, so we just had 2 1/2 mins to perform... but when they were about o dance there was something wrong with the mobile. we didn't know that the it was counted or included in the time limit... so in the middle of the dance, the hosts asked to stop the dance already coz we were exceeding na daw sa time limit! some of my classmate cried coz it was so unfair... pero despite that stupid thing that happened we still won third place! woo-hoo! we were all very happy! we just jumped and hugged each other, then the rain started to fall... our clothes was at the gym so we have no choice but to walk in the rain... grabe! it was along walk from JFH grounds to PLS... we passed some classrooms and the student were all looking at us like "what the hell are they doing" kind of look! it was kinda emabrassing but it was worth it! hehe...

another hell-but-worth-it experience was the ballroom dance competition... well, it was not that hard coz we had the whole sem practicing the different routine taking each step t a time... kaya lang nung malapit na yung competition medyo napepressure na kami, kasi sabay sabay na lahat ng projects and requirements ng finals tapos we have to waste time practicing that stupid (but worth it) dance sa gym... then we paid this costume and started practicing using dancing shoes... dami pang hassle, kasi konti lang yung guys namin, kaya some pairs are both girls... then, yung costume namin na worth almost 1 thousand, umm... well, it didnt turned out like what we thought it was... shit, we we're starting to accept the fact that we really looked stupid with the dance pero yung costume, like, nightmare, worst nightmare! as in, fashion suicide!!! hehe... basta, the guy's were sparkling green long sleeves and supper silky, shiny genie pants! sa girls, they were wearing yellow halter dress with ruffles na parang dinikitan lang ng glue yung glitters!!! still, we had no choice but to go out there, do the routine and try not to fidget, since it was so hard not to be conscious with what we were wearing! so, there we were, in the middle of the gym, totally spread out, with abbie and andrew right in front of us, i was like shit, this is sooo humiliating... then, after the big dance, we sit near abbie, and watch the other groups perform and hoping the would make a fool of therselves, well, some did though... hehe... it was time to announce the winner, we werent really expecting anything kaya parang walang nakikinig, tapos after a few recognition awards we realize that we werent called to recieve any recognition plaques, so it means na we're in top three, then kami nalang yung di natatawag, we realized na yun na, panalo na kami, sabay sigaw ng MC ng BSN 1-7 we were all like, "Oh my God! we won" i think we spent the whole 30 minutes jumping and hugging each other... hehe...

then, another was the symposium, we have this final project for our sociology-anthropology class, we have to conduct a symposium with atleast three speakers, out topic was, filipino families ata! we shared the project with another nursing section, but we have different topics, so sila yung nauna, i think their's were like a big joke, they werent prepared enough for the symposium, and i hate their MC, i mean, she keeps on laughing... then the next week, it was our turn, since mataas pride namin at mayayabang kami, we showed how a real sympo was done! hehe... we had two great MC's wearing the appropriate attires, we even had, light effects kuno, then we had a bit of show just to keep the lecture interesting... it had so much fun, watching the other section's guys drool over my blockmates who danced... hehe... and the girls were i think feeling insecure...and, maybe insulted.

see, our block have been through a lot of shit already, we had bad times and good times together, we had a great christmas get together party, we helped each other with grades, we care for each other so much! i mean, were like family now, were not just simply a section, friendship was built, and we all learn to accept each other during the ten months that we've known each other...

sadly, there were rumors na irereshuffle na kami next semester, when william announced about it, we all got sad... :( we loved each other so much na... pero all of us promised na hindi kami papayag, sabay sabay kami mageenroll para kami pa rin ang classmates next sem... :( :( :(
