Just came from Paskuhan, my fifth in a row! Arrived there at 2:30 pm waited for edz... she arrived 3:00 pm. We went straight to the main building to get mine and Ej's diploma. As luck would have it was break time. We waited for until office resumed. We just talked and talked I don’t think there was a silent moment. Funny coz we only saw each other last Sunday =) Surprisingly the process didn’t take too long, we were lucky there was no line. It was actually easy to get the diploma. We got it I examined the diploma; it was smaller than I expected and it wasn’t printed on parchment paper. I wasn’t really surprised because I chanced upon seeing on article in a broadsheet that the diploma was changed just this year to prevent fakers. This diploma has a watermark!!! Only in UST!!! Hehe =) oh well, enough of the diploma. We then found ourselves walking towards the AB building and contemplated if we were going to enter. We saw our thesis advisor and surprise, surprise we made "beso" and updated her with what’s happening with our lives a little bit because she was off to buy food. Suddenly we saw a block mate and chatted for a while then we saw that there was no guard in the building so went straight in. We saw one of our former professors Edz’ nanay, they hugged tightly and tears were forming on their eyes. They missed each other so much. They were fun to watch. We then went inside the computer room and browsed through pictures taken of the faculty show. Denice arrived just in time to view the pics. We kept laughing and were speechless enough just to say "OMG" (note: Vida & Marjo open the invite to view the pics.) After viewing we realized it was almost time for the mass so we opted to go to the grandstand. We stopped by the main building first to get copies of the Varsitarian for us to sit on in the grassy field. (Disclaimer: A friend said that, that was the purpose why an issue of the Varsitarian is printed so near to Paskuhan hehe joke only just in the unlikely manner that the editor of the Varsi will read this... but take note I brought one home with me for me to read) We just sat there waiting for the others to arrive wile I was desperately trying to listen to the mass which was impossible because of the incessant noise. I still heard and understood the Gospel nonetheless. Lucky me! Edz kept telling me to lie down with her but I only gave in when the fireworks were lighted because it was beautiful o watch it while lying down but unfortunately that was short lived because one of our block mates who joined our lil group decided to block our view right on cue when the fireworks were ongoing. The fireworks were spectacular as expected. One of UST’s pride when its Christmas time. We decided to leave the field shortly after that to find a place to eat because alumni’s don’t get free food. We went to Flavorites because Wendy’s was full, Edz and I decide dot share a meal because both of us were craving for Wendy’s so we ate while waiting for the others. Vida finally arrived, shortly after Mhina and Tequi entered. We then decided to go to Wendy’s. It was still full so we opted to take the food out but just in time a table in the third floor cleared up so we opted to stay there. We talked and laughed, reminisced a bit coz admit it or not we missed UST!!!
I miss UST!!! Okay, maybe not everything about it but bits and pieces of good memories are still stored in my mind and my heart which will make me go back again and again...
