Story Time!!
Sa umaga ng isang Biyernes, papuntang Lola’s Inn sina Carlo, Ate Alyssa, at Ate Rhonax. Sa Lola’s Inn, nagkita ang grupo kina Mamita, Kuya Justin, at Kuya Pio.
[Malapit na magtanghalian pero nagbreakfast pa rin :D]
Nagpabusog ang lahat sa masarap na pagkain na iniluto ni Lola.
Carlo: Ate, paano na yung picnic na pinagusapan natin last week? [wahehe]
Ate Rhonax: (~_~) Pwede tayu magpicnic kung gusto mo. Pwede sa Inner Court.
Mamita: Yey! Picnic! Libre ni Carlo! Pabanwa ta kung gusto mo. Pero plan muna. (^_^)
Carlo: (T_T) Waaa! Di ako makakalibre sa inyo!
Mamita: Sugba na lang ta Sab-a! Ginanggang! (^3^)
Carlo: Anu yun? Di ba spider web na siya? (:D) ?
Mamita: (O_O) ! Carlo!! Sab-a is Banana. Saging.
Carlo: Aaaahhhh… (:D)
To Banwa went Mamita, Carlo and Kuya Pio.
Bumili ng Sab-a [Hindi yung spider web. Yung Banana.], Margarine, Sugar, Uling, Marshmallows, Barbecue Sticks, at Ice Cream[Para sa amin. Nyaks!]
Mga 3:30, nagstart na ang party. Music filled the air hanggang hindi kami makahinga unless bukas ang tainga namin.
Yung iba first time magroast ng marshmallow. Yung iba first time nagparty sa Inner Court. Yung iba first time nakarining ng word ng ginanggang. Pagkatapos magpabusog sa Ginanggang, naglaro ang Hall1 ng Chocolate! Softball with Slippers!
Kaya VS Kulob! Napunta ako sa Kaya, ang pinakamagandang group! (^_^) Pero nanalo ang Kulob… [(T_T) Ok lang… Laro lang naman.]
Natapos ng maaga ang party dahil may cheering practices ang iba pero bago sila umalis sa Hall1, ngumiti ang lahat dahil sa successful na Ginanggaanay Party ng Hall1! [Ginanggang(yung pagkain) + Anay (hindi yung langgam. Yung suffix na nilalagay after ng words to signify an event full of games) = Ginanggaanay]
Salamat Hall1 Dormers sa pagsusupport sa party! Mas papasasayahin pa namin ang sumusunod na parties! At pinakamalaking salamat kina Mamita at Kuya Pio. Kung wala sila ay hindi sana naging totoo ang party! Salamat sa inyong oras at mag-abang na lang tayo sa iba pang party nag pag-uusapan namin ni Ate Rhonax at Mamita! >:)

MY BODY
A Reflection Paper
My body is a wonderland. It has full of mysteries unsolved as I least expected. My body is complex being yet vital. But no one, even I, can really tell everything about my body. What is my body? Why I have this body? Who is my body? These questions are still in the process of identifying what the answer is.
What is my body? My body is composed of cells that group together to form tissues. These tissues are organized into different organs that will perform a specific task that will contribute to the wellness of my body physically. It is a very co
mplex thing to discuss how the smallest part of my body, the cell, is a very vital and does the most important job like the production of energy, by breaking down and combining of molecules, that will be used up by the entire body through some physical and mental activities. Also, I use my body to feel, think, eat and experience everything I want to do. I can do anything I want with my body that is how important my body is. Yet, not all the time I can rely on my body. There are times that I can abuse my body that can lead to its malfunction and negative responses. Taking good care of my body is the best thing I can do. Moreover, my body is not consistent as it is. My body changes everyday. This does not mean that I undergo morphing; this means that my body is different now than before because of the factors that affecting my well being. My body is not a thing that any one can use. Only I can use my body.
Why I have this body? What is your ideal body? Should it be Brad Pitt look-a-like? Angelina Jolie characteristics? Kissable lips? Broad shoulder? V-shaped structure? 36-24-36 vital statistic? Unfortunately, I do not have all this characteristics. My body only has the kissable lips and nothing more. Ideal body has its social standard. What is the beautiful body is dictated by the society. As a result, people, including me, want to have that ideal body that the society set. Most people do anything just to have that body. They go to the gyms to tune up their body. And if the gym cannot do anything or they are tired to go to the gym, they go to the fastest and comfortable ways to have that body like the Belo and Calayan. But I can say that somehow I am contented of what my body has. Although, there are times that I plan to go to the gym or have a daily exercise activities, but with the busy schedule that I have I cannot have them both. If I have that body, I will be proud and flaunt my body with pride. I may consider it as one of my precious possessions. But for now, I am contented of what I have, height, skin, eyes and lips. People may judge me through my body but what matters most is how I deal with them and what are the traces that I can leave to them.
Who is my body? Who posses my body? Do I really have my body? Who will take my body from me? These are very difficult questions that I may partially answer. I have my body and I posses my body. I am the dictator. I am the slave. I can tell my body what to do. My body can response about what I can do. I set the goals. My body set the limitations. I know that I am miserable but my body can tell that I have to grin. The two parts of my body, the I and the body. These two can jive with each other but sometimes they can have different faces to show. They can have two different emotions in just one instance. The body can tell you that I am happy but the I feels that I am tearing inside. You cannot posses my body neither the I. You cannot take the body from the I. I cannot have you and you cannot have me. The I posses the body and the body posses the I. Only me can have me. I can give a part of me but you cannot have all of me. My body is not like you, I am different, unique and precious.
My body is not a thing that any one can use. Only I can use my body. I am contented of what I have. People may judge me through my body but what matters most is how I deal with them and what are the traces that I can leave to them. I can give a part of me but you cannot have all of me. My body is different, unique and I am precious.
It will be 3 days and we'll bid goodbye to August. Time really flies by so quickly. Just imagine that 3 months had already passed since we entered the dorm -- the BEST Dorm, I must say![reminiscing mode*] But before we totally kiss farewell to August, here is another blog entry from one of our dormers. Her article last time was, I must say, a hit! It really gained quite a number of comments. VeryCONTROVERSIAL, right?[wink*] Talagang ang daming nag-react at nagbatuhan ng comments -- some were 'korni' & some were a bit serious, let them be.
Anyways, I hope you'll enjoy reading this one. Form comments, please click the word "COMMENTS" just below the article. Thanx.[smile*]

JUST in Thought
by Justicia Barrios II
Sometimes, when we’re so caught up in a moment, we forget how it truly feels to be emancipated. All we feel is the urgency to take in the present. But sometimes too, clarity sneaks in. When everything seems to find its rightful place, the world takes on a new meaning. Everything becomes illuminated, and a path never taken before opens up. And then a stupid grin starts to form on your face.
That’s what’s been happening to me lately. All those angst of the past is now somehow being overshadowed by an overwhelming sense of purpose and direction. Being giddy and happy never seemed so easy. Being joyful used to entail a strenuous effort on my part. With no apparent reason (or maybe there is one lying in my subconscious that I am obviously unaware of), I feel light, and most of all... hopeful. Weird, but nice actually. Like everything will just work out right. I know my future is riddled with so many difficulties and frustrations that are yet to be unearthed and reveal their condescending nature to me, but still, I can’t help but just be hopeful. The reason for which I may not fully understand... yet.
I don’t feel jealous about the smallest of infraction on my ego. It’s easier to laugh and smile. Not getting my way doesn’t have that same heart- crushing effect on me anymore. But most surprisingly still, I find it easy to be nice to people. I am generally nice, but I don’t generally practice it. Just afraid that people won’t reciprocate. I don’t handle rejection that well.
Today is so weird. I had this moment of clarity before. That one more naive than now. Well, it included fireworks for one. I have this sudden vision about my future. It’s so appealing to grow and mature now, when before it proved to be a threatening prospect to me.
Time indeed goes by so fast. One time, I was deeply bothered that I was about to start preschool. And now, the least of my worries involves a numerous number of long exams. It’s not like life suddenly presented a whole new meaning to me. I don’t think the answers to life’s questions come that easily.
I wish this would last. This current situation feels like finding the perfect wardrobe you’re looking for. You know you wouldn’t be the best-looking creature on earth when you wear it, but still, it’s comfortable, the perfect fit, wraps itself around you and makes everything all the better. Haha... How shallow to compare it to clothes given that I really don’t give a damn about what I wear.
Again, nothing seemed different today. Same face(s)*wink*, same places. But everything just felt right.
Buhay na buhay at puno ng sigla ang mga dormers ng Bulwagang Uno(Hall1) habang idinaraos ang kanilang “SAMA-SAMANG PAGKAMATAY” o Group“Die” este Group Dy. . .namics(as quoted by Kuya Idol) . . . [toink!=)]
Kamakailan lang ay na-TEASE talaga tayo sa TEASER ng GroupDy(GD) na ginawa ni Little Pi. Kung kaya’t naging matagumpay ika nga ang di-magkamayaw na Group Discussion at Sharing noong ika-16 ng Agosto, di-ganap alas-sais ng gabi.
Perobago ang lahat, nagsalu-salo ang bawat grupo sa solidarity dinner sa hindi kalayuang lugar -- sa CITY. . . as in CITY-H[baw! soo freshie!*] at ang iba ay nasa HEAVEN lang naman . . . Heaven's Bliss. (joke pa ni nga ginatawag?!*)
Nagkalat at nag-iwan ng mga bakas ang sampung grupo sa iba't ibang sulok ng dormitoryo; may nasa lobby, sa upper wings, sa lower wings, sa annex wing, sa inner court, sa mini lib, sa CR (jowk na naman liwat!*), sa washroom(korni na guid!*).
Maraming nakatago sa baul ang sa wakas ay nabunyag at narinig nang simulan na ng mga upperclassmen ang paggisa[baw!amu guid ni ang term?*hahaha] sa mga freshmen. Hindi rin nag-atubili ang mga persyers sa pagsagot sa mga ibinabatong katanungan ng mga ate & kuya.
Naging bukas ang lahat sa pagbahagi kani-kaniyang karanasan, impresyon, katangahan, kagalingan, reklamo & hinaing, kinaiinisan, kinagagalakan at kinahuhumalingan [hmmmm...interesting*] habang tinatahak ang landas ng pamumuhay sa Miami!
Napag-usapan at nabigyang puna ang samu't saring kaganapan at mga tampuhan. Kinamusta din ang relasyon at pakitutungo ng bawat dormers sa iba't ibang kulay ng personalidad na siya nilang nakakasalamuha araw-araw. Bakas sa mukha ng bawat isa ang inis at pagkabahala habang naglalabas ng sama ng loob sa mga TERROR SUBJECTS dagdagan pa ng UBER TERROR PROFS. Pero higit sa lahat, hawang-hawa ang karamihan sa virus ng HOMESICKNESS na isa na palang epidemya.
Sa kabutihang palad, nagsusumikap ang mga kapwa Homesick na upperclass at iba pang dormers sa pag-organisa ng mga laro, picnics, at iba pang gimiks upang maisalin ang atensyon ng mga naho-homesick. Lubha ngang karaniwan na lang ang sitwasyon ng biglaang pagtulo ng luha habang kinakausap sina Nanay at Tatay sa telepono.
Pero ang GD ay hindi lang pala hanggang chismisan at kwentuhan ng nakakabagbag-damdaming karanasan. Dito rin namumulat sa mg posibleng lunas at nabibigyang payo ang bawat isa upang mapaayos at mapabuti ang buhay kolehiyo at buhay dormer ng taga-wan.
Bonggang-bongga sa lahat ang naging katuwang ng taga-wan sa pagkamit ng kanilang “goal” bilang iskolar ng bayan. Binisita ang dormitoryo ng super-adventurous na lakwatserang negra at friend – sina DORA at DORO. Sina Dora at Doro ang naging susi upang ma-set ng bawat isa ang kailangang gampanan na tungkulin upang makamit ang pangarap at inasam-asam nilang kabutihan sa buhay. (dalom buh!*)
Sa DORA-DORO Activity kung saan sila binigyan ng papel na may larawan ni Dora, para sa mga babae at Doro, para sa mga lalaki ay isinulat nila ang kanilang mga kinakailangan o steps upang makamit ang kanilang mga ‘goals’na isinulat naman nila sa isang kapirasong bubble thought na construction paper. Ang Bubble Thought na ito kung saan may nakasulat na numero sa likod ang basihan upang mahanap nila ang kanilang promise partners. Ang “PROMISE PARTNERS” ang magsisilbing katuwang at tagapaala-ala ng bawat isa upang siguradong maisagawa ang mga pangakong binitiwan para makamit ang minimithi. Para silang si Yaya & Angelina, si Mata & si Kamay, si Juan & si Pedro, si Katawan & si Konsensya . . . etc.
Sa Big Group bandang alas-9 ng gabi, ipinagdiriwang din ng mga dormers ang “Sabayang Kapanganakan” ng mga may kaarawan mula Hunyo hanggang Agosto 16. Katakam-takam na Choco Topps at (kandilang)Stick-o ang naging handa at inialay sa mga celebrator. Nakuha pa ni Ate Gelai ang pinakamahabang Stick-O (pinakalip-ot guro!*). Pinagsaluhan naman ng mga non-celebrator ang isang bald eng biskwet ‘that comes in different sizes & shapes’ . . . Yehey!!!
Nabulabog ang kukote at katinuan ng taga ODD at EVEN team nang magtunggalian sa larong Pinoy Henyo. Ni hindi na alam ng isa kung ano ang balat sa tinalupan. Matatandaang ang sagot ni Renan ay “NO” sa tanong na “Tao ba si Kyle?”; naging lugar ang TV at dispenser; at naging place pa si Manong Larry. (Ate Gelai, daw mini lib man 'to!*)
Higit sa lahat, bonggang CONGRATULATIONS at Palakpakan dahil DRAW lang naman ang resulta ng laro sa pagitan ng dalawang grupo. (Bawi sa pahampang!*)
Pero uber bungga jud na CONGRATULATIONS at Standing ovation ang ating igawad para sa kooperasyon ng bawat dormers dahil sa matagumpay ang ating Group Dynamics, napagtibay at lalo pang mapapabongga ang buhay Holwan ng isang iskolar ng bayan. [Ayyyy...grabeh....!*]

This day is not just any ordinary day. Yes! The Philippines is celebrating Ninoy Aquino’s historical death. But here in Lampirong, we are celebrating TACARDON’s – The Great Tacardon(head’s up*) -- DAY!
On the 21st of August, 1988 an icon of greatness was born. JOEFER TACARDON. By greatness, we mean extra-super-talented & smart. But these words aren’t enough to describe the legacy that Kuya Joefer has left in the campus, in the dorm, and especially in the hearts of the many people whose lives he touched in his simple yet powerful way.
Kaya, Kuya Joefer, ‘karapat-dapat ka lang i-clap-clap’! (Woohoo*)
Magta-tatlong buwan pa lang kami dito sa dorm, pero dama namin ang kaibahan sa pagkawala ng presensya ng mga tinagurian naming “Pillars ng Hall1” – Ate Maan, Kuya Ujin, at Kuya Joefer. Sa mga saglit na usapan at pagtitipun-tipon, hindi nawawala kailanman sa isipan naming ang mga bagay na palagiang ginagawa nila sa mga ganoong pagkakataon. Sa tuwing tatambay kami sa canopy bigla nalang may sasambit ng, “Ahay…nadumduman ko sina ate maan kag kuya joef ah…ang drama2x nila nga duha…hidlaw nako ah…”. Oh… God knows how we super miss them.
If I’m not mistaken, 21 ka na. So that makes you an official member of the bachelor society.[haha*] Congrats! May full legal access ka na sa kayamanan ng iyong pamilya’t angkan. (Woohoo!*)
Para sa akin, tumatak talaga ang pangalang JOEFER TACARDON sa aking isipan. Sila na ang kinamulatan naming upperclass dito sa dorm; Ang nagbibigay buhay sa weekend-blues ng dorm; Ang suki ng couch tuwing lingo para manood ng ASAP; Ang main actor ng drama series sa dorm. Nakakamiss!
Kuya Joefer, saksi kami sa iyong pagsusumikap para makarating ka sa iyong kinaroroonan ngayon, at alam naming malayo pa iyong mararating. Sana hindi mo kami makalimutan dahil kailanman ay hindi ka mawawala sa aming puso’t isipan.
At sa mahalagang araw na ito ng kapanganakan ng nag-iisang JOEFER TACARDON, nararapat lamang na siya’y bigyang-pugay! Kuya Joefer, MALIGAYANG KAARAWAN sa’yo! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! MALIPAYONG PAGSELEBRAR sa imong ADLAW nga NATAWHAN! MASADYA nga PAGSELEBRAR sa imo KAADLAWAN!
Dalawang (2) Tulog nalang atGroup Dynamics na!
'49 Hours to be exact' Can't Wait! Supah!*
But before that most-awited event, commercial muna...yey!
Para inspired tayo before the group dy.
Here is a blog entry submitted to me by one of our dearest dormers. Itago na lamang natin sya sa pangalangJUSTICIA BARRIOS II.[Haha! Talagang tinago di ba!? evil -kiddin'-laugh*]
I'm just so proud of this girl for staying charming in spite of all the odds.[smiles*] I could see the diversity when it comes to the personalities naman kasi sa dorm, and talagang each one ha their own persona. Some, they still hide it, or maybe they're just not aware of it, but when the right time comes for sure they'll all bloom like a lovely flower in the wild. [hmmm... how was that?]
I should have been happy this week. A lot of things and happenings had given me temporary joy. But that’s just it, TEMPORARY!
An elder friend once shared to me a story that had a moral attached to it. She said there were four things you could never take back: a stone thrown away, a time spent, a word that was spoken, and an opportunity not taken.
I just might have lost all of these in one day, and I can never take them back again. I’m always wishing I didn’t have to do the things I did. The things I’ve said are now part of my deepest regrets, the hurt they’ve caused that need not be the case if I knew the virtue of tolerance. I want to stop thinking I’m better than everybody else, because I know I’m not. I wish I could stop wishing to be the opposite of who I am, because no matter how much the world and circumstances would change, I’m still bound to be the same. Because that’s who I made myself out to be— someone incapable of change. Sure, I sometimes take the first step, an effort towards the process of making a better me. But not long after do I revert back to my old self again.
I no longer want to be the person I think I am. I want to know that I am capable of goodness, and that people would believe that too. Because that’s all I need, for people to take a look at me and never have to wonder who I am, or who I am pretending to be.
The more I seem to loathe others, the more I get hurt because all the things I say about them are just reflections of who I am. I tend to hurt people for all the unnecessary reasons, and I’d like to say I don’t mean it, but people never do things that are not embedded in their subconscious. I easily turn people away, and I am not on top of anybody’s list for anything. I may wear the bravest facade in a crowd, but I am a coward. I have so many what-could-have-beens, most of which I could have done something to make them happen. But I was busy pretending I could conquer the world, and that everything and everyone will just have to wait for me. Who was I kidding? I had the world at my feet temporarily, and it got into my head. And now that my time’s over, I still can’t adapt to the changes it brings. I still feel so self-important at times, and it gets in the way of how I am with people, or how I am with the simple things that bring happiness yet I chose to overlook.
I must be lucky some people stick with me, that I am not completely devoid of acquaintances; that I am still somehow tolerable to be with. Maybe people say bad things about me or talk behind my back or have negative impressions about me, but at least I haven’t personally heard or overheard any.
People say I am different. I would trade anything to be just like anybody else on a given day. I don’t want to be popular or great; I just want to be happy and contended. Somehow, I couldn’t find these things, and so I substitute happiness and contentment with temporary highs that greatness brings. And when I’m all drained and burned out, all that’s left is emptiness and loneliness. And then I start from scratch again, picking up the pieces from the last time I was shattered.
All I want is all that I don’t have. Not because they’re expensive or hard to come by. I just want someone who’d have me on their mind all the time. Someone who’d be excited to sit next to me in class. Someone who’d reveal a secret and say I’m the first to know. A beautiful picture that captures a beautiful moment. A secret feat I could be proud of. A best friend I could talk to anytime, anywhere. A place I could enter and say “I’m home”. Someone who’s always happy to see me. I need a warm hug, a kind word, a gentle touch, a modest recognition. Someone. Anyone.
I know my story is an overrated one. It’s been written and rewritten countless times. It’s the plot of the greatest self-pity story. It’s the soundtrack of a broken record. It’s the hymn of the misunderstood. It’s the lifeline of the half-dead. All these for a good reason. Because it can be anybody, a nobody. It could be the subplot of misery and hurt, or easily a reason for existence. Whatever it is or may be, we’re all bound to feel it. That darkness that creeps in unknowingly.
So here’s the choice: We stay in the dark or find the light. ‘Cause here’s what I’ve been told: “The darkness doesn’t have any answers. The thing they say about pain, hurt, and all that garbage being romantic and poetic? It’s just garbage and pain. And the day you think that love is overrated is the day that you’re wrong. And the only thing wrong with love and faith is to not have them.”
I want to grasp love of the purest, and immerse myself in the immensity of faith. I want to be at peace with my inner battles, the conflicts that arise from my troubled past. I want to feel safe and assured that I may not have everything I want but I have everything I need because I am capable of loving another human being, and that in return, I am worthy of their love too.
May mga pangyayari talaga sa ating buhay na sadyang di natin nalilimutan. Ika nga, talagang tumatatak sa ating puso’t isipan.
Ang mga sumusunod ay ilan lamang sa mga nakakatuwang tagpo sa dorm.
27- Hulyo:
Bahagyang naalarma ang lahat, lalo na ang mga sangkot, nang maiulat na nakarating at naireport sa OSA ang tungkol sa DOTA Tournament. Nag-ugat ang lahat sa pagpo-post ng isang taga-Kanlaon, na itago na lamang natin sa pangalang spyheadTM, ng isang imbitasyon sa mga taga-Hall1 sa isang DOTA Tournament. Nasundan pa ng 3 postings ang mga ito na nagpapaliwanag na hindi niya -- SpyheadTM, intensyung maghamon ng gulo. Isa lamang daw iyung friendly game. Dahil nga sa tinatawag nating generation gap namis-interpret ni Maam Tronco kung ano ang ibig iparating ng mga posts na iyun kaya inireport ito sa OSA. Kinabukasan, ipinatawag si Nina, Hall1 HC President, ni Maam Isay. Naipaliwanag naman ng maayos ang mga bagay-bagay. Nalinaw na ang kaso. Isang simpleng online game lamang naman iyun sa pagitan ng mga Kanlaon&Lampirong boys. [bow*]
28- Hulyo:
BANGGAANAY 2009 Kick Off!
Hall1 vs. Cawayan,
Winner: HALL1! ! ! Score: 1-0
02- Agosto:
Baldahanay 101 -- Practice game among Hall1 dormers.
Isa lang ang masasabi ko sa naganap na larong ito:
"Smells like mud. Tastes like shit." [haha! c;]
Ang saya talaga ng game na 'to! Ang lakas ng ulan kaya mas lalong enjoy! Ang galing pa ng mga holwan pipz maglaro -- special mention kina Renz, Alvin, Jake at Jaysun. [Ayyy Grabehhh...]
At talagang nakadiscover pa kami ng mga extra-talented people hah. Ay super! Da best talaga ang "sliding talen" ni Zemrec! Imagine, kahit anong posisyon sa pagslide -- side slide, back slide, hapla-slide, kaya nya. No sweat! Idol talaga! Kaya karapat-dapat lamang syang i-clap2x. [smiles.*]Kaya si Zemrec ngayon ay si "SLIDERMAN" na! [Oh my GOD! You're da best!]
03- Agosto:
Banggaanay'09: HALL1 vs. Hall2
Game Result: Tie! Score: 0-0.
In my own point view, dapat nakascore nun ang Hall1. Dalawang beses [ayun dito sa katabi ko -- Pio] raw yun naka-goal ang Hall1 team. Masyadong maluwag ang ref. Ilang beses na hindi tinawagan ng hand ball ang kabilang team. ('Wag ideny. Nakita nyu at nating lahat 'yun.) Oh well, in the end, proud akong sabihin na talagang maganda ang larong ipinakita ng Hall1 team. Super galing! Grabeh ang cooperation ng bawat isa, laban sa one-man-team ng kabila. At kung may cheering competition sa Banggaanay, walang duda, HALL1 ang PANALO! Sa boses pa lang ni Mamita sabog lahat ng nasa paligid. No wonder distracted at threatened ang kalaban! Oh di bah! Strategy na tinatawag 'yan, dude! Talagang full force ang Hall1 pipz -- present & former dormers talagang nagka-isa, sa pagcheer at pagsupurta sa players! Dinagsa nilang lahat ang grandstand. Thank you sa mga ate at kuya naming tumulong at sumupurta sa pagcheer!You're the best!
CHAMPION pa rin sa puso at damdamin ang Hall1 magpakailanman. Go Hall1!

Isa lang ang masasabi ko sa mga batch ng persyers ngayon, talagang certified party animals!

It's the 4th of August already. . .[hahay*] There have been so many things that had happen this past few months and weeks.
Ayh!Teka lang. Kasasabi ko lang eh. Agosto na. . .'Buwan ng Wika' na, kaya nararapat lamang magsalita tayo gamit ang ating pinakamamahal na wika. Simulan na natin.
Lokasyon: Kasalukuyan akong nasa Com Lab 2 ngayon, at dahil tapos na ako sa "lab exercise", tatambay muna ako dito sa "site". [ngiti*]
Kagabi lang ay muling nagtipun-tipon ang mga residente ng Hall1 sa bulwagan ng dormitoryo. Ito na ang pangalawang pagtitipon o "General Assembly (GA)" na pinangunahan ng mga opisyales ng dormitoryo. Pinag-usapan kagabi ang mga aktibidades sa buwang ito --- selebrasyon ng Buwan ng Wika. Naging maayos naman ang nangyaring GA at alisto ang mga residente sa pakikinig at pagtatanong ng mga bagay-bagay tungkol sa napag-usapan.
Nang hapon ng araw na iyon din ay nagaganap ang pinaka-aabangang laro ng taon sa "football field". Ganap na alas-singko ng hapon ng magsimulang magtipon ang mga residente ng Hall1 sa "grandstand" upang tunghayan ang kinasasabikang laban sa "football" ng BALAY LAMPIRONG at Balay Kanlaon. Nagpatupad ng "NO-Person-Policy" ang "house council" sa dormitoryo upang lahat ay dumalo at manood ng laban sa "field". Naging maiinit ang labanan lalo pa't agresibo ang parehong kampo. Talagang nakakapanabik, nakakatawa, nakakainis, at nakakatuwa ang laro. Grabe ang tulakan at gitgitan. Walang sinasanto ang kabilang grupo, kahit babae binabangga ng todo. Ganyan katindi ang tensyon ng laban kahapon. Kaya ganuon na lamang din ang putik na bumalot sa kanilang katawan. [haha*] Halos 'di ka na makakurap sa bilis ng sipaan ng bawat kampo. Kitang-kita lahat ng aksyon pati panta-tsansing ng iba dyan. Talagang todo habol at dikit sa ating gwaping na manlalaro.[alam nyu na kung sino sya...at wala ng iba pa...wink!*]
Pero ang kinamamangahaan ko sa lahat ay ang pamatay na boses ni MAMITA. Si Mamita pa lang isang buong field dinig na -- walang "effort". [hehe] Kung may paligsahan sa "cheering", tiyak panalo tayong Hall1. Sa lakas ba naman ng boses, patikan, palakpakan at hiyawan ng mga residente at pati na rin ng mga dating residente noon, talagang walang kaduda-dudang panalo tayo! Go Holwan!!!!!
Naging maganda ang laro ng ating mga pambatong persyers. At talagang naipakita ng Holwan ang kanilang pagkakaisa sa laro kahapon. Natapos ang laro na walang nakapuntos kahit isa sa magkabilang grupo. Hindi na ako magsasalita sa "technicalities" ng laro para walang kontrobersya. Basta, ang pinakmahalagat naging MASAYA, NAGTULUNGAN at NAGKAISA ang lahat.
Isang masigabong palakpakan para sa lahat ng mga taga-holwan!!!!!
P.S. Lalong nagpaganda sa laro kahapon ang ideyang puro "freshmen" lang lahat ang naglaro at walang halong "upperclass". Talagang dalawang hinlalaking nakataas para sa ating lahat. [ngiti.*]
Abangan ang mga susunod pang balita at kwentong dormlayp.* c;
