I'm missing....

Eraserheads, for their wonderful, Beatles-like-pero-really-Pinoy music (listening to 'Ang Huling El Bimbo' still gives me goosebumps);

Eng'g pips, where most guys are guys and almost evey gal is a gal and not somewhere in between;

Econ CR, dahil malinis at di matao (di tulad sa CMC na bago pa lang e bulok-bulok na);

Arlene, ang pinaka-nice at -pasensyosang kaibigan. Kachokaran ko sa pag-stalk ng mga boylets once upon a time when we were still young. Ang taong may talent matisod every 10 seconds sa kahit anong lugar sa UP;

Jonah, sa kanyang walang katapusang tawa (tumigil na lahat pwera lang siya);

Jocel, and our adventure trips in Ateneo and UP gyms, stalking basketball players, asking for their signatures. Ang taong laging nakasimangot kahit masaya;

someone I used to dream about, ano kaya nangyari kung naging tayo? Kinikilig ka pa rin ba kapag nakikita mo 'ko? Kasi ako, oo....

Math Building, NIP, NIGS, for the long walks I had with my blockmates. For the secrets shared while reviewing for a Math exam. For the chance encounters with former classmates at NIGS. For the 100+ people I get to see attending my Physics class everyday. For the frustrations as I looked at class standing results. For the endless hours spent waiting for the prof who would (hopefully) redeem me from the shit I put myself in. For the happy feelings felt knowing I'm no longer going to experience the torture of taking a Math courses. For passing these buildings during Ikot and Toki rides, with me thinking, "buti na lang I got out of this shithole in time..." (hehe);

Kainan sa KNL, where our block had bonding sessions over 30+ lunch meals (with unlimited rice). Secrets shared. Secrets revealed. Cybs & Berns tuksuhan. Berns nakatapak ng tae. Kadiri. Bringing our Form 5s, exhanging schedules.

Balara, for the unforgettable Talent's Night when we were still Eng'gSoc applicants. The dressing room with the 'manila paper curtains.' Frustrated feelings behind the happy smiles and laughter. Me shifting out of Eng'g the next year after being accepted as an ES member.

ES batchmates, people who made me feel belonged at Eng'g. Hmmm.... interesting pala Eng'g. Hehe.

Nad, my HS friend who used to visit me at home. Nangungulit. Wala lang. Sobrang yabang pero masaya kasama. Minsan barbero, pero tolerable naman pagiging barbero. Appreciates me for what I am. Saan ka na ba ngayon?

My thinner self, circa 1999-2002, I never appreciated myself before. Kala ko ang taba-taba ko noon. Now I'm beginning to see how I was thinner 2-3 years ago. Hay.

Rey, ang lalaking kinalokohan ng karamihan sa block namin noon. Galing-galing sa Math. Crush ko 'to, as in. Kaso in-love sa iba. Nice pa rin naman. Saw him last August, mejo tumaba (tulad ko). Maliit pa rin (tulad ko). And i bet he's still in love with the same girl.

Rose, ex-friend turned enemy. Pero I miss her company. Tibak. Maraming issues sa buhay. Hopelessly in love with Chix. I miss her and her smoking. Sigh.

Neoprint, kung saan nagiging distorted ang aming mga mukha. Pics with friends, documenting times when we were still carefree and not busy with other priorities in life.

EK, last day-out with my blockmates. I was then shifting to CMC, Lurds had shifted to BA, Jonah and R-lin to IE, and C-lin, Katfaj, Jocel, and Char to MatE. Last day-out with Alex, C-lin's ex, who was really nice to us but turned out to be gay (shocking). After that day, we never met again as a group, much less see each other constantly anymore.
