start of something NEW

“…When I have my Humanities014 – Philippine Literature in English, I was really enlightened by the teachings of our professor…I’m taking up Mechanical Engineering; I’m confused why do we need to have literature courses? Now I know, it’s because “Literature humanizes” and just like what Cirilo Bautista said that, POETRY makes us aware of the truths and values necessary to fulfill our potentials. While for me, most of our subjects are so difficult, very stressful and gives us a headache all the time; however LITERATURE is there for us to have bright days and to give us time to relax our minds and rest for a while from our hectic schedules…” (excerpt from my speech in HUM014 for POETRY during the ribbon cutting for TANAGAs by Jethro James I. Bodoso)

For Darwin, my number one best friend in MCL, THE MOST IMPORTANT person for me in MCL, and one of the most important person in my life; Da, thanks for being there all the time, I’m very blessed to have you as my best friend, you’re one of the living proof that GOD really exists in my life. I can’t say much more, because I’m already out of words to say, I know you already know that almost everyday, I’m thanking you for being my best friend, so Da, MARAMING MARAMING SALAMAT, and many many more years of friendship!

For Eugene, BEST ko yan!, one of my very closest friend in MCL, in fact his the first person I got close with in our block section during the first year first term; best, thanks for everything! Make good on your studies, study harder and so do I; so that we will be classmates during our majoring years. WALANG IWANAN!!! We can do this, don’t lose hope.

For Niño, my pareng TOL, one of my closest friend since high school, my school mate since elementary, kasawa na! hahaha,, just kidding. I will never get tired of having you as my classmate, I’ll always look forward of having you as my classmate. Make good on your studies, ha? Study harder, focus on your studies, and I’ll just send my other tips to you through a text message..wahahaha..too confidential, but I think you already know that, RIGHT??Hahahaha.. Thank you for everything especially to the friendship you’ve shared with me.

For Sean, hi!sean!!, hahaha, one of the persons in the classroom that is really fun to be with, at first I thought that he is very serious and snobbish, on the contrary, when we became group mates in our Physics lab, I got to know him much better. After that class every Monday is our HUM014, so Sean and I got lots of time to bond together, that’s why we became close.

For Kon, my friend since before, I’m always here for you, don’t get serious in your love life, your too young, we should focus to our studies first, however, having an inspiration is not bad, but don’t make that a factor to affect your studies. Love CAN wait; just like what the MMK episode I’ve watch, they said that, “Walang tunay na pag-ibig ang hindi nakakapaghintay sa tamang panahon”.

For Vic, the escort of the section, hahaha, pareng Vic!, thanks for everything, you’re one of the persons I really idolize, smile always and stay the Vic I’ve known before. Take care always, focus on your study, study harder, may God almighty bless you always. I’m always happy to have you as my friend. Pre, tip naman dyan! Hehehe, buy me in FFS ha?

For Fia, MAHAL!!, one of my girl friends (girl na friend, hahaha..) that are really fun to be with, and I enjoy her company, MAHAL! I miss you na, take care always! Just text me ha? Love lots..

For Sham, are you my classmate???, really??, wahahaha, wui! SORRY, FYI for the others, I don’t know that she is also my classmate in CHM021, haha, and she’s also not aware that Darwin is our classmate there. Before, Sham and I are not close, in fact in our CHM021; I got confused with her and to our other calssmate. Thanks to Fia, her closest friend in HUM014, I got close with her. Stay being friendly and always smile!

For Runo, the MARMOSET of the group,hahahha…PEACE, THANKS for everything!!!. Specially during my workshop for our play, because I can’t be angry and be sensual, thank you for believing in my skills and for the long patience you have given me. SALAMAT! I’ll always cherish your friendship.

For Joan Caballero, hi Joan!, grrr..hahaha..my RAPE partner,,wahahahaha, same as with Runo, no words can express to say MARAMING SALAMAT!, specially during my workshop, hahaha, thank you for the long patience, I photocopy the certificate, but I failed to give that to you, however, Runo already got his. I really admire yours and Ruby’s friendship, not because I don’t like my friends but because you two look good together, stay the way you are, NEVER left Ruby, love each other more.

For Ruby, one of the simplest girl I knew, stay your simplicity and being very friendly, same as with Joan, love each other more and cherish your friendship more , and never left each other.

For Arvin, my classmate in PE022 and CHM021, etc., make good on your studies, be more friendly and practice participating inside the class, be more active and smile always. Buy me in FFS ha? I’ll also buy you don’t worry.

To Julius, pre thanks for believing in my skills, SALAMAT, sad to say we failed to get close with your group, anyways, good thing we became groupmates in one of our group activities, I'm looking forward to have you as my classmate again, focus on your studies, don't forget us, and keep in touch.

To Meilin, good thing you joined bela's group in our last group activity, however, the time that was given to us is not enough, focus on your study, and I'm hoping that we will be classmates again.

To Harpst, pre I admire your thoughts and ideas, even though you're absent sometimes, you always have a correct, sensible and humorous ideas.

Last but definitely not the least, the 22^nd member of the group, without this person our section is not complete. To Prof. Eduarte, ma'am I really had fun to your teachings and got lots of new knowledge from it. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and experiences. We really can say THIS IS LITERATURE, because it humanizes us, it delights us, it arouses noble and unselfish emotions and values, and it fire our imagination into deep and critical thinking. You're one of the best teachers I've had. I just want you to know that you can be proud of yourself and be confident! However, stay being humble, down to earth and God fearing person. We will miss you and we will never forget an excellent teacher like you. Ma'am one last thing, you're one of the teachers I REALLY admires, because you're beautiful not just inside but most especially OUTSIDE, sayang may asawa na si ma'am!..wahahahahaha...yihee si ma'am BLUSHING!!hahahaha.. Take care po always, keep in touch and never forget us, WE LOVE YOU, God bless us always!
