I wear Blue

Photo taken during my "last" Grand Council Day as a philosophy student. Yes! Epic face it is-- just because we lose the game Mamera mamera. :( Boo!! By the way. I'm wearing blue cause I'm now a Senior. Kudos! UST-AB Concilium Philosophiae. You've given the whole major so much to remember.

 What happened today, was something unexpected. I mean, it isn't the traditional General Assembly, or Grand Council Day that we used to have. That our major usually prepares. No more grand buffet (not so grand, but in our hearts we do consider it grand). No more long preparations for class' audio visual presentations, no more annual musical performances from the class bands, no more hardcore and challenging games for everyone. Hence, what we had was, was something special. Something extraordinary. Less budget, obviously. But evidently, bigger smiles from all the members of the society. Not to brag, but we are the only one left, standing still, branded as the Center of Excellence in the Faculty of Arts and Letters. Nevertheless, I know, we know in our hearts that we keep our feet landed on the ground. 

Today, marks the beginning of an end, to an end. I already crossed the line, this means it's the official start of the academic year, 2013-2014. Roughly, four years ago. I was just a Frosh. (Let me use the word Frosh, I know it isn't appropriate for our university, but I was used to drag the word). But now, I'm another step closer to the finish line that I tackled in my latest blog post. Technically, it was just like... An ordinary team building, more interactions with the group. We were divided into factions, however. That makes the whole major a lot more closer and bonded. It was something new, something we guys didn't expect to happen, just because it isn't the practice. It is something... Sort of weird, and very simple. But heck, it was totally awesome. Not to mention, I was able to talk to everyone in our circle, there were a lot of new faces. Really, new, I rekindled. I was once like this as well, way back July 2010. But how time flies really fast, today I am now the proud to be called "Ate" by the new babies. Literally, Senior. I am now a Senior to the young ones. And I don't think this is something debatable, well of course, let's not just talk argue about my height. It doesn't follow. As always and as expected, I came in for the assembly, late. Fashionably late. At least, I didn't came in looking like shit. Lol, I was just kidding. But seriously, I live nearby but still, I always come to class, even programs late. Nothing new, being a Senior still, doesn't count. Haha. 

Hence, there's nothing like, a grandiose celebration, thinking that this is already my "last", spiritually and mentally I know, there's much more to this. That, what the society did was just right, there's nothing like worth having, comes easy. This was somehow, rush. As in "ngarag" and "biglaan", but the real essence of this event is something, worth remembering. That it bangs my memory, and touches my heart. Just because all the activities were interactive. It wasn't just exclusive for our batch. But for the whole major. Something that makes each one proud. Kudos to the whole society! :D This is going to be my last battle, so I'll do my 101 percent best to cross the next line. 

Cheers! 4 Philosophy! Yes bragging rights-- We are now the Seniors. Still we haven't changed a bit.  I just can't see nor imagine myself being apart from these people. It's hard to leave the loudest and craziest people on Earth. I think it's best to say that... I'll keep you all forever. I love you so much blockmates! :D 

With Terence and Jessie. Two of my most treasured guy friends over the years.  These two used to be my loving brothers. My "tropa" who always protects; guards and would do anything to keep me sane. They've been my constant companions as well for the past years of my stay in the university. I just think this photo's too cute to include in this entry. Hehee. 

With the kiddos around. I'm surrounded by them. Hihi. Aren't we too cute? :"> --We just lost the game mamera mamera. :( This is like a photo sequel from the first photo of this entry. Haha. I already have a frowning face. Couldn't accept that we just lose the game. Claiming for another shot to still be a part of the next game. :)

My group presenting our cheer word.--Chooks: To go! To go! With matching actions of a chicken. It's as if we're having a chicken dance performance. I suddenly realized that I was too old for this. But no. I am not a kill joy. Still a front-liner. Ever since. :) I'm just doing this to let the kids feel that there's nothing to be ashame of. Just be who they are and feel that they belong.

Zesto apple. :) Yno was so sweet to hand me this juice pack. Jeri was so thoughtful to help tear the straw for me; and Romeo was extra kind to throw the empty juice pack for me. :D Sweet babies in our society! And I love them to bits. Credits to Cy for this photo. I was like the most numbered of "solo" in her dslr. :D

These were only some of the photos taken during my last Grand Council Day. I didn't include everything, but the things is I know it's very evident those big smiles were. Everyone seems happy. Sad to say, this would be the last. Hence, I know as Seniors, our batch did something to be remembered by the young philosophers.
