Oh Kalay My Kalay

I can’t believe it! I really really cant believe it. I’m back to Kalay to stay for summer! Like, it’s just two weeks ago since I was last lamenting about leaving my beloved dorm and now, I’ll be spending the whole summer in it! Yehey!

Friends, see you at Kalayaan! See you! Waaaah.

The Return

After some weeks of hiatus, I am now back for some blogging action!

But, woooaaah. I was really surprised of wordpress’ new interface. Many changes! Hahaha.

Yes, I’ve been away from wordpress, actually avoiding to blog things because I was too emotional in the past week. See, I’ve left Kalayaan Residence Hall so I have no where to live at now. Hahaha. Plus it’s so sad that I wont be going back to Kalai to stay and all, I’ll miss my floor mates and of course my ever-beautiful room.

Waaah. I had enough of those drama things.

I will be busy for the coming days because first, I’ll be having my summer classes, every weekdays from 1-5pm, and second, because I’m now a part of the executive board of my org, we’ll go with joining the Freshmen Orientation Program Committee. Hope we get the film block like how the org got our block last time. Hahaha. Go Cineaste!

And as of now, some of my professors are still not uploading my grades at the CRS. Need to see them, please! Hahaha. Wala pa kasi akong nakikitang grade na may amoy man lang ng uno. Yung dalawang grades na naka-post, dos at two-five. Hindi naman katakataka, yung dalawang yun ang pinakaayaw kong subject ngayong second sem. Na-blog ko na dito yung isang subject. Hahaha. Kinakabahan ako sa CW 10 at sa Film 100 ko. Waaaah.

Sa ngayon, I’m trying to enjoy the rest of the vacation days here at the province. Hope to return to Quezon City by Wednesday.

And of course, how would I forget, CONGRATULATIONS to JANN MIKHAIL “MISHA” LECAROS for being the Assistant Editor of the new PLAYBOY PHILIPPINES magazine! Buddy, I’m really really proud of you!

February 15, 1995

9:20 pm

Ano ba’ng nangyari noong gabi ng Pebrero 14, 1995?

“Ay nako, ewan ko nga kung ano yung narinig ko eh. Basta magkakabrown-out yata dapat. May bigla na lang sumigaw. Tapos nagkakagulo na ang lahat. Hindi ko na inalam kung ano yung nangyari kasi nga may exam pa ako sa Math 63.”

-Frederick Barrinuevo, BS Math, 18

 

“Basta natutulog na ako nun, tapos nananaginip ako ng masama. Hindi ko na nga alam kung anong nangyari sa akin. Basta umiiyak daw ako sabi ni Robert. Ayun nung nagising ako, may narinig na akong sumisigaw.”

-Adrian Sarmiento, BA European Languages, 17

“Lima kami nila Lambert na naglalaro ng chess sa kwarto ni Adolph. Maingay pa nga kami eh kasi nakakatuwa yung laro. Tapos biglang kumurap-kurap yung ilaw. Hindi lang sa room namin yon, ano. Parang buong dorm, nagkaganon. Tapos lumamig bigla. May narinig na lang kaming sumisigaw.”

-Earl Ramon Alvarez, BS Chemistry, 17

“Naliligo ako noon, actually sabay nga yata kami ni Ralph na maligo kasi nga katatapos lang naming magpractice sa volleyball varsity. Nagtataka kami kung bakit mainit yung tubig sa shower eh gabi na so dapat malamig na siya. Tapos yun, kumurap na yung ilaw. Kinabahan nga kami eh kasi kasabay ng pagkurap nung ilaw, nawawala-wala yung tubig. Tapos yun, may sumigaw na bigla.”

-Billie Jean Fernandez, BA Interior Design, 18
“Ay, Lucresia Kasilag. Parang gumagawa yata ako nun ng plates para sa Arch 16 ko, which is nira-rush ko siya ng bonggang bongga dahil gusto ko na talaga matulog because I really need to rest my eyes, you know. Anyway, nang ginagawa ko na yung plates, suddenly nagkumukutikutitap na ang lampshade ko, which to my annoyance dahil nahihirapan akong gumawa ng straight lines ng free hand. And so for more may sumigaw ng todo volume as in nagulat talaga ako in a different level so to my annoyance, nagkanda bali-bali ang lines ko!”

-Arnel Acosta, BS Architecture, 18

“Wala ako sa corridor nung nagkagulo. Pero bago nangyari yon, paparating pa lang ako sa dorm dahil kagagaling ko sa thesis shoot ng orgmate. Nang papasok na ako dun sa pinto at hinihintay ko na lang si Ate Guard na buksan yung pinto, parang may taong nakaputi na dumaan sa likod ko. Akala ko nga yung babaeng nagdedeliver lang ng mga labada. Tapos kumurap na yung ilaw. Ayun, may narinig na akong sumigaw.

-Hero Boy de Guzman, BA Film, 16
