WHAT ABOUT 2015?

So hello 2015! Any aspirations this year, a divergent improvement perhaps. Excited, obnoxious, thrilled of what this year would bring. This year, I wanted to itemized things I should acquire. These are sort of material/theoretical-attitudes I aimed for self-improvement. For clarity, these things are acquirable, should I say attainable. Yes, these are not cloudy-fantasizing-colourful dreams. So here they are:

1.     To travel – as an employed young man, this aim is so achievable but yet it needs superior savings.

2.     Piggy Bank – related to the first one, I should be thrifty and money-conscious about expenditures. Just lately, I joined a saving group in our company. I can do this. No, I should do this.

3.     To meet a Celebrity or a selfie with him/her – just to make a spice on my facebook/instagram account. This is a social issue. Hahahaha

4.     Get some weight – yah yah. This has always been my annual WISH/HOPE/ILLUSION/FUTURISTIC-KINDLE. A little help from someone out there is welcome. Please.

5.     To continually push entries on my blog – this is to ease some sort of wobbling emotions within. #hugot

6.      Less time in social media – earlier this year I already started it. Hooray. Just instgramming, not much on facebook. I don’t think someone would miss me out there. Hahaha. So better cut some time and maybe endure it to some important matter, a lovelife perhaps <3, ay sa family diay hahahaha

It’s getting long. HAHAHA. That’s it for the moment, maybe time to time I might add some to it. Hahaha. Unending editing. LOL

Colors

elementary days, i had come up to an idea of what and who really i am. yeah, some people might have been judging me from that time. bullying me as if they know what i've been through. not a single friend knew who really i was, in high school and even some part in college. i am afraid. i fear discrimination thinking this would isolate me from the others. and yes, I am Gay.

i am not the normal working man whom others think, or i am not what my parents expect me to become, not even the label what my friends have been tagging me all way long. some of them might knew what i really am, but they are just waiting for me and for the right time to share it. in college, i waited someone who would talk to me, get a serious grasp about this matter but it did not happen. its because i am living VAGUE in the society. how would they know ur confused if you are all up there busy putting smile to everyone. how would they know if ur psychologically dying in every homosexual topic brought up in class (or anywhere), when ur so good in acting everything is under control.

i remember one time, during my 3rd year OJT, when i was asked if I was gay or something different, I said NO. and explained, or lied, to them i am straight. voice was shivering, eyes were not looking straight to them, knees were almost to bend. i told myself, that will be the last time i will lie. BUT I FAILED. continually, i became hesitant and in denial of what really i was. everytime my relative would ask how old i am yet still i dont have any girl introduced to them. and i just laugh and divert as hard as i could to change the topic. and now that i am 22, nearing 23, more and more speculations are slipping off the minds of people.

there is this pain, there is this discouragement, there is this shame. what now? after sharing this thought to them, would they see me as the russel they thought before? could i still have friends? well, maybe this is the time choose the people who will stay up for me no matter how disgraceful i am to the eyes of others.

yesterday, i know who i am, today i am who i become. life indeed is not about pleasing other's perspective. people are gonna hurt me, but i have to choose who are those deserving to keep with.

THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS - A Suicidal Note

Have you ever ask your self what would be your last words here on earth? Some would want to express it an exquisite way, like text messages, cards, or some fancy facebook status. Above these, the most common way is a SUICIDAL NOTE. They say we should live life as if it was our last. So aside from enjoying every moment we have, it might also be better to document farewell happiness through essays.

                I am writing this letter to express how much happiness i had received from my birth up to this confusing moment. Life is supposed to be enjoyed, it has to be lived FULLY. Despite the facts that problems arises, the choice to become happy and grateful is always present. But what if those choices are blurred? What if your caught up in a moment where nothing came, no one reached out, not a single part of the family ask HOW I AM TODAY. Problems are supposed to be expressed to some thoughtful individuals, but what if they are not there, what if they have some problems to attend to, what if they choose not to say something because its not their duty to solve your silly dilemma. Anyways, I am not blaming them for these things because in the first place i am responsible for what is happening to my life now. I am not angry nor devastated by them. Its not their fault.

                To the person who will be reading this note, I am happy to know you gave some time to read this not-so-well-constructed essay. I want you to know how thankful i am. To my family, who will be continuing their lives without me, don’t worry please. It will not give any significant change. I am sorry for the big investments Ma, Tay, ug sa akong mga igsoon. You gave everything u could, from sweat to money. From time to sacrifices. Lending money for me to finish my studies, to run for about a kilometer just to buy foods to satisfy my needs. For sacrificing ur individual wants to incur my necessities. For providing me a peaceful environment back home, a shelter full of comfort and clothing duly washed for me to wear adequate neatness. Ma, tay, I know you dont  always buy clothes, and i promised myself to buy you those when i get paid but i ask forgiveness for i cant make that moment to happen. I am so sorry. Ur son is so weak. Ur son is unwell. Sorry also that our dream house will not be built anymore because i wasted your investments. But i am happy atleast we already have a car. I hope our family will stay longer and better. I am praying that the love on each other would last.

                To my friends,neighbors, true friends, twin sister, co-league, best friends, classmates, lover, you know who you are. I am so happy successes are starting to build up on your paths. I am so proud  you reached this part of your lives where you chose to live and continue everything you had started. I am so proud. I know someday you will forget i existed but i want you to know that i am the proudest friend here on your achievements. My family knows that. I always share how you’re going through every big leap you’re taking. I am so sorry for the burdens and confusions i made. For the troubles i caused, for the pain i installed in your hearts. Forgive me please. I am just so weak. I am just so incompetent. Our togetherness may not be perfect, but i am one of the happiest and thankful person that our paths had intersected. You became a big part of my life. You made me learn what school could not teach, u made me feel strong for i know some of you chose to be part of me. So long everyone, i hope to see again. Again, none of this is your fault. Noe of this is caused by you. I just want to express a sense of gratitude even from my last intellectual essay.

                HAPPINESS is indeed a choice. Search from within. Thank you for this Life Lord. Thanks for this moment.

                       

Throwback Thursday

2 years ago, while I’m on my way to CDO city to attend a demanding make-up class, i happened to meet one of my elementary friend inside the jeepney. It was early (around 7am) when we chat about things we miss a lot and the things we are currently busy about. But one conversation really caught  my heart which made me speechless for like an hour, regaining conscience, retrieving events.

( Allow me to have this conversation in bisaya.)

Him: musta ang pag skwela rus? Hapit na guro ka mahuman no?

Me: Uu hapit na jud. Pero kapoy na kaayo. Murag walay pulos aqng ginastudihan kai dli japon q ka anser sa uban. Bagsak2x japon. Kapoy na, gusto nako muundang.

Him: Ayaw ana rus oi. Magpasalamat ka naka skwela ka. Ako gani ron. Padulong q trabaho. Kapoy guro magskwela pero mas kapoy mag trabaho nga wala kai naabot. Ginagmay ra sweldo, hago pa. Dili pa cgurado kanus.a taman. Kaya lage na rus, mapuslan rana tanan. Salig lang.

Me: (i dont know what to say for i am embarassed, so i turn my head to the window and said): Rebisco ka noh? Abot naman diay ka. Cge2x au baya.

And he went down smiling ready to fight the demand in his work. He walked down as if he is not tired of the routine he’ll be facing again and again.

The jepneey continued to roll its wheels faster and faster. All i hear was my heartbeat and his words dancing in my mind. The sense of guilt was there, you want to cry but you cant, you want to scream but its not appropriate. It hurts, but its true.

That moment i saw, witnessed, felt INSPIRATION. That no matter what it takes, ill finish my course and be an engineer someday. That ill be COMPETITIVE and STRONG to surpass such hurdles in the academic labyrinth. That moment, i was in awe that in times when life scrolls some curtains of pressure and struggles, God, in His little ways, uses instruments like my grade school classmate to inspire me to fulfill what i have dreamt of.

Now that i already had my license as an Engineer, i am now tasked to Inspire others, to contribute in any ways i could. In my small community, i hear some children saying they want to be a Chemical Engineer too, and i said ofcourse they could. U dont have to be that super brilliant to acquire such title, hold on to such dream, believe, and do your very best. Allow positivity and gain friends. Inspiration is any form. Appreciate them, acknowledge them. We may have these unstable problems and chaotic thoughts scrambling, but remember that these are just curtains covering the facade of our beautiful life. Pull them off and see how beautiful life is.

For my grade school classmate, who unconsciously help me in that instance, your words live forever. No matter what our standings/statuses are, i still have high respect on you. God Bless You. J     

Happy Birthday to You

Good day friends.

You remember the semi-sexy romantic movie Unofficially Yours? Aside from the fact that its story is really one of a kind (about someone patiently waiting and another someone who dodges love’s curse after being hurt from her past), it was delivered well by contemporary actors Cruz and Locsin and I’m a fan. However, my entry will not focus on their story but from their job – journalism. I wanted to be one, to be a feature writer. So here is a thing. I will try to create one. And by the way, the person ill be featuring really wants this since 12 months. Haha. Planning to post this on Christmas day but i guess he can’t wait anymore.

                His name is Reymond Tayone. He is dark, short (i mean not so tall), overly concern with his pimple, has a good penmanship, talented, competitive, and intellectually inclined person. But these descriptions are nothing compared to what he is within. Let us talk about experiences.His big experiences.

                I could describe him as a “choosy” individual. I dont know, at first i was not expecting it from him, but time comes, he started saying, “dili ko ana, dli ko gakaon, dili ko ganahan ana, kato ra ako”. Well, its good to describe what he likes and what he’s into. He can’t live without internet. (Youtube starmometer, krizzy kalerqui, yahoo and a liitle bit of facebook are in his list. ) He doesnt like macaroni salad, liver-based viand, some types of fishes, cornbeef other than purefoods, vegetable mostly, carrots, japanese cuisine or outside-pinoy foods, raw foods unless there is toyo, and more. He is more into unripe mangoes with salty dippings, shomai (clean ones), boiled green banana with bagoong, spicy foods, salty viands (very salty), and sweet chocolates and milk teas. He is not a sporty type of person but he knows how to. He is a KathNiel fan. He is a big fan of music competition, american idol, the voice and x factor (uk, us, aussie, phil, holland, scotland, peru, guatemala, lol). He doesnt like “the-what-so-common-thing. He is against stereotype. He is against maybe of what your doing now. HAHA.   

                Intellectually inclined and competitive. Not the stereotypical competitive stud but the one who will never ever ever ever settle on petty shallow-styled results. Having these characters, expectations from him was elevated. Elementary and high school, he got the highest honors but he never bragged about it because for him “it’s not for me, its for those who expect from me”. High school was a roller coaster for him. Yes he had the highest honor but behind those are struggles worthy to remember. He experienced being attacked, being pulled down, being judged. It came to a point where he had almost no one in his side, and no one supported nor stood for him. He said it was ok. He said he never regret what had happened for it gave him the chance to overlook who really is his friends are. It was a turning point for him. It was a bold moment even wanting him to strive more and prove something glorious. And he was successful. He used such defining moment to step his gear up and reached such target.

Reymond Tayone is also a lover. Back then in his alma mater, he fell in love with someone who he thought he will be spending all his life. I mean he also experience some not-so-serious-type of relationship, but after a two or a three, he said he want someone serious, someone life changing, someone worth to live with. So he met someone in high school. All he gave in, all he was proud of him, all was filled with happiness and joy. But nothing was constant in this affair, he tried to pull things together, he tried to fix and fix and fix. Its hard for him, waking up each day hoping things will get better. But he was hurt, he was stained and paralyze to fall again for someone. His high school was a bit drama, but looking at the glory, these experiences led him to what he is today.

Most people know him but he will never consider himself popular aside from his build-up likers in facebook. He had known people, variety of them, and he knows how to socialize and associate each individual. Despite of, he struggles to find the real friends, friends for life, friends who could understand him, friends who could extract the best of him. But looking at him now, he has already. He found them. And that is why he is so cautious on being with them. He takes care more than one friend could do. A lot of people would describe him as the jolly witty student but behind those laughs and jokes are sorrow longings and unending issues he had for himself and for others. Insecurities and low self esteem are part of it. He has stories to tell, he has righteous ideas to share.

He has been a part of my life. Even if we just met for like 13 months. He taught me a lot of things i never thought i would get from an 18 year old student. Am i corrupting one? He knows i am less than his personality, he knows i’m not brave nor true to myself than him, but he accept and understood me for who i am. Sometimes he gets angry over me for my lapses but he never quit and he never left me behind. In times of sorrows, he will be there, he will be true, and he always bring thoughtful words making you feel comfort. He may not fully trust me, but sharing a part of his life was one memorable stage of mine. I was honored, i was acknowledged and atleast i became true to someone i trust. I caused him a lot of troubles and paranoia, i caused him pain he never deserved, i was an ass in his life sometimes, but mind you people, HE WILL ALWAYS BE THERE WHEN YOU NEED HIM. And that’s why I Love Him.  He will always be remembered. He will always be here, here in my heart. J

                  

MY VALEDICTORY ADDRESS: DON’T COMPLAIN OVER THOSE SWEATS!

This photo wasn't actually from my yearbook photo. I just edited to look like one :)

Indeed, I am a competitive person! But this character has not made me become an awardee from last month’s graduation. Being competitive, I guess, is not enough. However, I never ever ever ever in my quirkiest mind dreamed of having such award. I just thought that I should bring this competitive alter-ego behind me to surpass the pressure of that mind-stuttering-jaw-enlarging-bone-breaking-pancreas-dewing course. So, to fully scrutinize and fulfill this competitive alter ego behind me, I thought of doing something that could somehow put me to higher spot, something that every competitive student dreamed of. Tadang! It’s the VALEDICTORY ADDRESS. Month ago, it was my musclemate-overly-smart-weird-smiling classmate Dean Cris Acabo who delivered this opportunity. So I was thinking, what if I could take his place, what if I could be in his 9-inch shoes, what if I could be the one wearing that medal for  few minutes. So I have this address, something personal, something different I thought, something that fits my character.  

He didn't even let me borrow his medals! HAHA. Lol. That is my musclemate-overly-smart-weird-smiling classmate Dean in the left side doing our signature pose. :)

MY SPEECH:

Today, in this very moment, my dear Batchmates, we might be wiping our sweats because of this very warm greenhouse-like building. We might feel uncomfortable because we are like sitting millimeters away from each other that no single ant could even pass-by in between (well, I guess this is an optimization purpose). We might also feel embarrassed because our crush is behind us looking on our wet-dreadful hair (which some of us spent hundreds for it). Or we might get bored because in front of you is just an ordinary handsome and sexy man delivering his not-so-significant speech (ehem). But hey, these UNCOMFORTS right now are no match from the experiences that we all had! We sometimes have to climb like a mountain-far just to reach A606 or E606 that we can’t use those elevators because those vandals are harassing us (my personal disposition), but then we suddenly hear from a sexy-blonde classmate that there is no class (suicidal feeling, an option could be jumping from that floor to the ground, and blame the teacher for not telling the class in advance). We sometimes extract our very mind just to answer a non-coverage topic which cost 1 point from a 50-item exam and made us not to sleep for weeks because we miss to answer that non-coverage portion of the exam for the reason that it is not covered in the discussion (clear!). I hate that (personal disposition again). We sometimes cry for a missed exam like it’s the end of the world and try to call our loved ones and family to ask advices on what to write in a suicidal note (Is that even possible?). We sometimes took our break for 10 minutes but unfortunately that time was spent only for running and dashing to that far canteen (cause I’m from engineering and I just need rice, no viand, and the engineering canteen businessmen were not offering that promo) and compete with some zombie-like-they-never-ate-for-years studs. That 4, 5, 6 or whatever years we had in college is so aaaaahhh. If we could just quantify all the energy we spent over those years, we might as well empower the whole Cagayan de Oro and beat STEAG and earn BILLION and get rich and get cars and get castles and drink coffee in Starbucks daily!

So my Dear Batchmates, I only have 1 point in this address of mine. DON’T COMPLAIN OVER THOSE SWEATS! This UNWEARY situation right now is far from the sacrifices our parents had gone! These SWEATS are not even a significant fraction from our teachers who did their best every after exam to adjust our grades so that at least ONE could pass (tragic isn’t it). Let’s us think beyond the atmospheric situation of this greenhouse-like building. We should be THANKFUL and HOPEFUL that because of those sweats we had all over the years, it made us worn these un-ironed Togas, it made us grant to take a step towards our future goal. And because of these sweats, we feel alive and that we should aspire more to become the person we want to be. So, SWEAT more, LIVE more, ASPIRE more. Congratulations BATCH 2013 of Xavier University! God bless me more, and also with you. CHEERS!  

Owl's View: Chemical Engineering Students

Hi again! This is me happy. Sorry if it brought botherness from my previous entry but it was really a necessary act to do for me to seize the flame within. Anyways, I have here an interesting entry, fun but based from my own charismatic perspective, owl’s view. I think I need to have this entry for the very fact that they might as well leave my life, I need to provide a record of their existence, they might die, bilang na ang kanilang oras sa mondo!!!! FREAK OUT!!Haha..  For my four years of stay in this ever gorgeous labyrinth of chemical engineering, I thank God for providing CLASSMATES of these different type of personality; some were worst as expected but some are jaw-dropping, some of them are worthy of praise (hail be thy name!), some are fictitious, far from reality, and some were comparable to an element of a periodic table (wait, what??). but please note guys, this is based from MY VIEW! And for safety purposes, positive CHARacteristics are spilled out from my mind. (thou shall thank me for that!, MAANNNN, it was hard defining them this way :D

For privacy purposes, Elements were used as name, haha…concealing at its best!!!! But hey, I forgot the sequence, so better show off their names. Haha.. Revealing at its finest!!!

NOTE: Based from my view, react from it, that's how I see it. :D

The BOYS

Dean

 The PRES!! Hail! First word he speaks, I know there is sense. Who wants idea? He can’t provide one, but rather flourish you with bags of thoughts. He has big plans! He studies, he leads, he inspires, he also perfects exam, (envy!!!haha) this man has a clear stand on things, may it be difficult and complex, he bares it all. Unafraid of what other might think of him, but he continues to fight for what is right and left! Impressive experiences also brought him to this type of person. Kudos to your achievement dean! Couldn’t be excited for your future towers.

Carlo

 The Baby!! Misjudged from his childish persona, he creates an ambiance of laughter. People might first look at him irresponsible from how he stands, but he is far from that misconception. Academically, he stood out.  He may not lead by force, but he leads in action and example which sometimes is not clearly observed by others. He never speaks sometimes of what he thought about certain things, but I could sense something deep on how he responds on critical things.

Arniel

 The UNobviously Smart!! He is smart! No doubt! But looking him the first time, who would have thought that this petite man carries bundles of critical thoughts and amazing intellectual skills? Sometimes, he made us realize on things which are sometimes unclear. He also judge people with authority and without a façade expressing it to them. He is real to some people he believes he could trust. In a way, he could be trusted. I tell you, he is rich (money-wise) in some cases and also, he tries to be different, creative he says.

Charles

 The Father!! This man has been to struggles of life. He may not share it to us, but we heard it from different people, lol…(I hope those are true). In fairness, he has been proving himself responsible in the academe knowing that he is stretching himself as a moulded father and as a student. This man is well organized on his stuffs. On assignments for example, he don’t dwell with “basta2x” products. He makes sure that everything is in place. But hey, he also finds time to treat himself, with alcohol? That I don’t know.haha

Sym

 The Bookworm!! I don’t really had a long time conversing with sym, unlike others, but one thing I’m sure about is that this quiet man, has a lot of stories to tell. Hearing one of his tales, my respect to him was alleviated. Also, during conversations, you would not expect that such concrete ideas would come from his silented mouth. I also sensed his leadership skills, not much on words but by influence (lab reports guys!). He was the guy who also loves to read books. You say fictional stories; he could share facts about it. Amazing isn’t it? Current events, he is well informed. Ask him, he has answers.

Elijah

 The Chilled!! He is frank! Indeed, but that made him true to the eyes of people. His thoughts are also commendable, and I know he has more to give more to express! Kudos LiJ! He is relaxed, though doomed with burden roles of CSG plus the demands of CHE. He has time for everything; 9gaging for sure has a slot for his sched.  When you need minions for boisterous laughing time, add him in your list and you’ll have a good time. He is also a lover, faithful as I view it. The character of independency is what I adore from him.

Rickey

 The Boss!! Authority, he is that! He has a strong personality but mind you, he has this vulnerable side, philosophical as I see it. I adore him for his straightforwardness. True, no barricade. Asking Brotherhood? You can ask it from him. He doesn’t need much attention, but he needs more respect and understanding. And for that, I respect him for what he stands to be true. I had a glimpse of his background, thus which made him inspirational and one to praise with. Sometimes misunderstood (even I did it to him) but he stood with humility and forgiveness. Cuddly rickey.

Bob

 The Fashionista!! Known for his edgy type of wearing fancy clothing, I knew him more as I live with him together as boardmates for years. Faithful and lenient on his words, strong yet with authority the way he explains, Bob has proven himself as person with deep reasons, a councillor you may refer. I see him as a person grown with great heart to his family, he thinks not just for himself but for others. Martyr, he portrays. He is misunderstood the way he looks but it is an expression of self artistry he explained.

Fai

 The Darkstar!! As a faithful Muslim, he never forgets to fear his God. It was never easy to survive the 5am-6pm (not sure) fasting. Hail fai!haha.  He sounds soft in his words but he sails humour that way. I got to knew him more during our first internship. And I remembered something he shared, a break-up I think. (oh my, sorry for the announcement). Lol. He was true to me that time. I haven’t seen him being angry; he sells smiles whenever he arrived in class. And sometimes, it brings “scares” on our face. Joke! Haha. Though he never speaks a lot, but I know still water runs deep, deep, down the sea.

Larry

 The B-boy!! it was never easy to live apart from the hometown, and the need to search for companion has been his hobby. Candid! One word to describe him. Definitely, he knows himself well and he associates others spontaneously, a character of a Camiguin-on. He is a lover, and this brings out the best of him. I don’t know if others could observe this, but when he ask, he says “salamat ha”. A sense of thankfulness indeed.

Paolo

 The Principle!! High respect I have for him. His ground morals have always been his stand. He is firm in his decision, and one takes courage to do that. Hardworking? He is that man. Family-wise and academic-wise, he never fails to deliberate what is righteous. Whenever he needs to confront something, or share something, he never hesitated to trust us. Grown with life changing experiences, he, for me, becomes an ambassador of perseverance. Have a great way ahead Pao!

Michael

 The Outspoken!! Say a word to him; he will give you three or more. He has a gift of spontaneous communication. Raise an idea and it will be explained for one big senseful paragraph. This man doesn’t bother pressure, unless the pressure bothers him. As he says, pressure brings out the best in him. I also applaud him for surviving the intensity of the 11^th hour. Perfect manifestation of never losing hope.haha. He is also blessed with artistic prowess.  Just give him high pressure and recycling materials and BOOM!, it will turn out to be a fierce dress, runway couture fashion!

The Girls

Diana

 The Rock!! Diana has been labelled as one organized girl, plus the help of her near-perfect (coz mine is the actual perfect) penmanship. Hail her notebook. Without her, I may not have noteS too. Haha.. She never fakes someone. STRONG as ROCK! Haha. Her strength also is worthy of praise. Despite the strength, she never fails to help, nor hesitated to contribute. You can lean and depend on her when you ask for something which she knows she could provide She is not that competitive, but mind you, she has humility to stand from her talents and skills.

Jecca

 The Declaration!! She Declares, with authenticity and truth. Vocal but held responsible of her acts. If she feels she is not in the mood, she speaks it with few words and you already know what she felt. No fakeness. She is a perfect structure (panorama as she describe) of hardworking student. High respect I have for her. The library became her dungeon and books became her friends. She takes time to realize things, she makes sure it’s in order, it is getting right. She never aimed to be on top, but she remained praised of what she does. I know she will be reading this, she might be smiling right now.

Monique

 The Child!! Ideas will not depend on our sizes. Haha, she’s a proof. Yes, this girl provides broad thoughts about something. She easily understood situations (credits to the movies she watched, provoking critical thinking). She is also vocal to the people she trust, never reluctant to share feelings. That’s why she has a blog (like jecca, to transcend emotions). Play a joke to her, and maaaaan, she would fall for it. Innocence they say. But she dwells well on it. And oh, this little girl is also very sensitive (aside from she easily cries when watching OA movies), she values emotion genuinely, bonds truthfully, and thoughts deeply.

Jean Claire

 The Daddy’s Girl!! Finest voice. Haha. Bubbly personality she has but she admits she’s sometimes weak with problems. She never fails to smile when we talk, about our richness. haha, she insults me and vice versa, but we never had problems with it. She also supports me even in extracurricular activities and even whenever I don’t have load, she is there to provide me. Why daddy’s girl? I was amazed when she said, “ dili nako mangayo ug material things sa Christmas, ma ok lang si Papa, okey na kaayo.” She has a big heart when it comes to his dad and I know the fact that she loves her dad more than anything. Wee!

Maris

 The Miss!! Miss Maris as I call her. At first, I really thought she is so angry with the world, I thought she’s a mean girl but I was wrong (punch my face, I deserve!). yah, she is soft in her actions, but that’s it, she is not that “maarte” type of girl as I first thought she is. When I had time with her talking, she is that lenient type, but never fails to connect with funny matters. I bet none of my classmates has problems with her. She never messes with the group. She complies what is in the norm. “Wai Libog” as I see it. I rarely hear her voice but I could the sweetness on her acts, aside for the fact that she is often late. Haha.

Mannah

 The Strongest!! Mess with her and probably you’ll end up beaten up. Haha. This gal has proven herself to be more than just her strong personality. She’s sweet, she endures concern to others and never failed to listen to problems. You can refer her as our mother. Haha. She thinks with maturity. Motherly advice as I see it. For that mother image, she does not tolerate habitual violations and alarming faults. Hide, if you don’t want that stick to touch your hands. Haha.  She will always have a voice on that. She is consistent, that’s what I like about her, for she fights for what is right and stood with the basis of her grounds.

Rose

 The Cheerful!! A smile, no, I see two smiles, no three. Haha. Do not talk about inches/feet related to heights, or else she’ll knock you down. She proved she is more than her heights! She is funny, bubbly, crazy, haha, but she is generous in fairness. She jokes a lot, and it was always a fun time to have her in the bunch. You’ll never end up laughing when you have her. She is understanding, in situations where chaos is indeed evident, she lifts up her considerations and contextualize it in the best way. Pang brait kaau. Haha. She is also a good and a fair leader when she oraganize and commands. With authority and confidence, she performs tasks. And also, she has a lot of connections (from school to transportation :D), friendly bunny! haha

Jennifer

 The Brat!! My scholarmate! So good to have someone who shares the same needs in the academic jungle. You could imagine jen as one who always have a beauty kit on her bag. But hey, this party/edgy/bratty outstands the things she brings. She is mainly sociable, interactive not just with the girls, but also with boys. She is a fighter in studies and love. It is where affection has always been her strength and plays a role as inspiration. She is also judged by the way she speaks, we find it funny, and she finds it normal. Haha. Go lang ng Go! She says that always.

Sugar

 The Candidate!! Sugar is an example of an optimum product of excellence. No wonder, but those grade slips doesn’t comprises her total being. A well rounded being, she assured to prove herself. She admitted that socialization is not her comfort zone at the early part of her life, but indeed she twisted the knob making it comfortable for her. With the help of strong family background and faithful grounds, sugar elevates herself with sound love and now, I am happy for her as she opened herself in relationship which I know she will be happy too.

Nece

 The Dansah!! Nece has a lot of talent to show. More than that, she is a true friend one wants to have. She has morals to stand, but above all, she has faith to depend on. This gal, travelling everyday, has high hopes to her and her family as well. She is not thrift, but she is responsible about spending her money. Another trivia, she is our best in MEMORY! I mean, when it comes to objective type of exams, give her a night to study,and she perfect that exam. Amazing! That’s why I always cling to her whenever nature calls the need to answer those types of questions. Haha. I am glad to have her at my side whenever I have difficulties in school works or external burdens.

Kim

 The Eyes!! Kim opens her eyes like it was close all the time. Haha. But seeing the truth has never been a problem to her. You play a humor to her and she definitely cooperates on it. Pretty pretty kim, as other boys would refer and she appreciates it like a boss. The first time I met her, I always thought she PARTYS a lot. Fun goes fun! But no, she is quite serious and conservative and she party SOMETIMES ,not a lot. Reserved to be a NUN-type girl. Haha. Kidding.  yah, that’s how kind kim is. And by the way, she is one of the recipients of my non-sense jokes and bluffs. She falls for it all the time. Another, she is a candidate for the most number of LATE student. Way to go kim, can’t be prouder. :D

Steph

 The Stories!! Steph talks a lot, With sense (that’s the difference we have). May it be about her or someone else’s life, it will always make sense and you’ll never consider your time as wasted. Promise!! Steph is a survivor. Knowing a part of her life (of course from her numerous stories),  she had experiences where she stood out alone, with brave soul. Epic!! In her life, risks have been an inevitable quantity. She is a lover, and that made her comfortable in her decisions. But it couldn’t be denied that there is t his vulnerable profile of her, which she is not afraid to show off.  A true warrior indeed.
