"Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit and resign yourself to the influences of each."
-Henry David Thoueau
June started with Badjoy and Mario's Birthday bash. IT '07 went to Tagum and Gensan! Fun fun fun! I wasn't able to join them in Tagum due to some unforeseen circumstances but I went to Gensan. We stayed in Tropicana Beach Resort. The highlight of the event was ... *drum rolls* the hubog moments! Who would forget Leri's demonic shirt that bring forth unexpected behaviors? Such us ahmm setting one's hair on fire! (haha! winner!) And of course the scandalous crime of ripping JC's pajamas. Which by the way remains a mystery up to now. There are suspects but no sufficient evidence will prove him/her guilty! (hehe). I also had my moments that I'd rather not say for I can no longer recall most of them! We all had our first times right? As for me, It was the first time I got drunk!
After our two day adventure in Gensan, we went to Leri's Farm in Toril. It was Antonio's Birthday (we call our friends' parents by their first name). The place was really beautiful. If we stayed longer it would really be nice to hike and explore the place. We made a bonfire and drunk the famous IT '07 drink- Tagaka. We owe it to Leri's aunt who patiently taught us the right mix. This time around I had my first taste of that swaying while walking kind of thing. Then my vision was ahmm delayedslashblurred. haha On top of that I can't seem to control my self from talking nonsense. I guess the spirit of alcohol made my tongue real slippery. I became so outspoken thus leads to the creation of "theories why people drink". lol *_* As much as I would like to forget that unfortunate event, it's next to impossible for there's a hard cold evidence. haha! As if "parrot-ing" the incident wasn't enough noh! Oh well, at least now I know my limitation when it comes to drinking. *wink*
By the middle of the month, we were slowly moving on from the aftermath brought by SAD. Some gaps remained unbridge but as they say, "time heal all wounds". Its simpler to let things cool down rather than forcing something that is not possible. On the 15th, IT conquered Bigby's for Kristel's 20th Birthday celeb. The scariest experienced in the history of our outings happened that night at Times Beach! Some bastards threw stones at our cottage. Thank God, nobody got hurt. The boys almost caught a fight over the incident. As usual, some silly drunken stuff happened but I'm in no position to spill it out so lets leave it to those who were there. Anyway, the gathering that concluded the month was Lele's thanksgiving party or "the patay party" . Patay party indeed 'coz majority of us were knock out in the morning!
July was a busy month. Thesis eats up pretty much of our time. But the end of the month was a grand celebration (no class for 3 days + weekends) for we were able to rest from schoolworks and unwind a little. There's the Kikay Night @ Mae Anne's House, Kikoy Day @ Samal and lastly Eden Part II. Yes I know, we actually have this habit of naming and documenting our outings.
August is a happy month for me. Most school activities were squeezed within the month so it only means one thing- no class! Well, things like that can make a simple person like me happy. hehe... Addition to the overflowing scheds was our Retreat. It was not that memorable for me. Maybe the fact that we fall to the same retreat house and facilitator as last year eliminated all the possible thrill. Unlikely things such as that "letter thingy" are bound to happen. I don't know. Probably the plan materialize out of boredom. No offense but that was really immature. The little bits of fun happened off the session in the girls quarter. (dba girls?)
Intrams was ok. The same old-ateneo-intrams, crowded and still fighting over the few seats in the covered court. No change at all except for the increase of complains among the students. I'm just so glad that the CS Booth garnered the most profit. Our efforts were rewarded! Yay I almost forgot our Theology Immersion in Sirawan, Toril. I've learn a lot on that one. My perspective towards the Muslims entirely changed. I'm not gonna go deep on that right now, some other time maybe. (nahurot na sulat sa reflection notebook tanan idea nko!)
September! It's not just the beginning of Christmas season but also the premiere of all the TV series I'm watching. I hate to admit that some of them actually disappointed me. Lost, The O.C. and Veronica Mars- they're not as interesting as the previous seasons. I'm still watching it though, there are still room for improvements or a twist maybe. It's too early to lay judgments. On the other hand, graduation dilemmas begun to flood us. There were photo shoots to attend and applications to fill-up. No matter how jam packed the calendar is, we always find time to party. Teptep's 20th Birthday was celebrated at Eden Nature Park. Finally, I was able to join them. I was not able to attend the two previous Eden outings. Naturally it was named Eden Part III! hehe...
October smells like sheets of photocopies and pages of books. Indications that the final exam is coming. I wonder why I usually turned lazy on the last term. Not that I'm not lazy during prelim and midterm...lol(I am always lazy! cgro mas mutamad jd sa finals samot!). Is it just me or most students feel that way too? hmm... Every corner of Ateneo scream the words- "thank you for being honest", "don't cheat", "please be honest in your exams". I just have to mention this you know...'Coz it really caught my attention (sensitive issue!). I heard its part of OSA's campaign against cheating which is a severe case in the university. I hope those friendly reminders on the bulletins were enough warning for the students. Expulsion is not that appealing.
Our thesis defense made us nervous and edgy more than anything else. It will be our last obstacle before we graduate. So far, it goes well. All our proposals were accepted. The most challenging subject for me last sem was Philosophy. It brought out the skeptic in me and later on I gained a broader understanding on my faith in God.
Even before exam week my excitement on our Educational Trip in Cebu is already bursting. Thinking of all the preparations not to mention the shopping we've done made me laugh now. It was like the majorest trip of all , if there is such a word. Cebu is a really great place. The high rise buildings, the companies and the bars were magnificent. Its really an ideal place to live plus the tons of job opportunities for IT professionals (sounds so ehem formal...I'm having a hard time picturing myself as one..haha). I will always love Davao of course, in fact I can see myself growing old in here. But for the meantime Cebu seems to be the best place to start a career. By the way, I also met my cousin for the first time. I've been wanting to met her ever since so it made my trip extra special. After staying in Cebu for almost four days we went straight to Camiguin. I had the time of my life. The pictures would testify the outcome of the trip.
November start off with JC's surprise birthday party. I was gone for 3 days to attend the National Youth Day. A week after was Kuja and Leri's party at Isla Reta. Through all these, one thing had changed- my color! hehe... I've been exposed on too much sun. Good thing I didn't had sunburn.
December blast! Kuja, Tep, Badj, Benjie and I went to Bamboo's Concert on the 2nd. And I must say that it was the best concert ever. I totally salute the band for being so great on stage. Bamboo makes me high! haha If my mom had seen me jumping and screaming the way I did, she'll probably think that I'm on some sort of drug. lol The last major party I attended before I went home was the IT '07 Xmas Party. I had a great time. Thank you for the people who work hard to make the party a success.
After Christmas, Thea organized a get together party exclusive for our clique. We are like a sorority minus the rules and formalities. hehe...I treat them as my sisters. We stick together through all the problems and controversies over the years. It's been 5 wonderful years of friendship and more to go. I've never seen some of them for months. I'm just so glad that we were able to catch up on each other lives again! ^_^
2006 was a fun filled year for me. I want to thank everyone who made me smile, laugh, sad, angry and cry. Those emotions made me real so I'm grateful to you for making me feel alive. For those people I've hurt or offend I'm truly sorry.
Let's leave all bad energies behind and face the new year in a clean slate. Advance Happy New Year!
