yumi's right

i will not let you ruin things for me anymore.

GO AWAY.

12 postcards

Because everyone's in Ilocos (whatever, I know you guys miss me. aminin niyo man o hinde) and because I didn't give a postcard to anyone during the pabaon. Alphabetically ko to gagawin (para walang away).

1. Ana Domingo

Wala pala akong gustong sabihin sayo. Nilagay ko lng pangalan mo dito kasi kausap kita kanina. Haha kidding. Who would have thought na in my last year in ateneo, I'd meet you? San ka ba nagtatago at nung 4th yr lng tayo nagkakilala? I entered 4th year thinking my college life is about to end and I have all the friends I need. But you showed up all bouncy and happy and.. annoying. Hahaha. :P and now (if I pass UE), I'm about to go to med school with you. Kahit na masungit ka minsan at ang spoiled brat mo, okay lang kasi kung gano ka kaweird, that's also how good a friend you are. So thanks for sharing so much with me. And wg ka na in denial. Mahal mo ako. I know. I feel it. Hahaha! :P I'm kidding. In any case, I love you too. Haha! ;P

2. Jamie Mendoza

Jamie leigh.. If I ever decide to call someone my best friend in college, that would probably be you. You've seen me at my best and at my worst and everything in between. Thanks for listening to me when I have things to rant about. My insecurities, my grades, my future.. and whether I have one. Haha. I know you know I'm always here if you need me even if we're both busy with med school.

3. Kate Coderes

Hello kate. Haha. Ang tagal tagal na natin hindi naguusap. Ano na ba nangyayari sa buhay mo? Anyway, salamat sa lahat ng times na nndyan ka pra makinig sa mga mababaw whatever ko na minsan wala na atang sense. Haha. Hindi na pala ako pwede mging autoload mo dahil wala akong allowance ngyong summer at wla akong load madalas. Magkita nlng tyo sa mcdo katipunan kapag may mga anak na tayo. Ang dami ko ring unforgettable memories with you. Magiging doctor din tayo. Mauuna lng nga ako. Wag ka mag-alala, tulad ng napagusapan natin, ibubully kita kapag ng1st year ka para hindi ka OP. :P

4. Kitchie Montemayor

Yadautskidooshatabootabooquische, ang haba. Kahit lagi ka namin inaasar, hindi magiging pareho ang ateneo kung hindi kita nakilala. Salamat sa pag-gising sa akin tuwing philo at sa sugus mint. :P Haha! I love you kitch! :)

5. Loren Gill

Loren, salamat sa lahat ng jokes. And sa mga random pag-uusap ntin dati nung 2nd year. :P Hahaha. Benta ka tlga sa akin forever. Kahit hindi mo sinusubukan magpatawa, nakakatawa ka pa rin. Kwentuhan mo ako sa kung san ka na after grad at lumabas pa rin tayo kahit nasa med school kami. :)

6. Reese Soco

Hindi tayo masyado nakakapag-usap pero okay lng kasi alam ko nmn na kahit ano mngyri, nndyan ka lng palagi kung kelangan ko ng kausap. Ganun din ako syo so don't hesitate. Haha. :P Wag ka nalang umalis! Or isama mo nlng lahat kami dun tapos pag-aralin mo kami. :P All in the name of y1 barkada. Haha!

At sa mcdo dahil ng-aaral tyo ng philo. :)) Thank you sa mga walking sessions natin na nag-uusap lng tayo tungkol sa kahit ano. Mamimiss kta kpg ngmed school na ko! :(

8. Samboy Lim

Sambs, can I just say.. nawindang ako sa Lysistrata. :P Haha. Anyway, I'm so proud of you dahil LS Awardee ka. Sorry hindi na ako nakapunta. Sambs, salamat sa pagtyaga sa thesis and sa pagreply sa akin. :P Hahaha. Alam ko minsan ka lng mgreply. Wag ka na rin umalis. Dito ka nlng. Kasi nandito kaming lahat. Haha. :P Thanks sa pakikinig and for always keeping things light with your jokes. Kahit corny, benta pa rin. Narerealize ko lng na corny sya after ko tumawa. :P

9. Sarah Mariano

Kahit lagi mo ko inaasar, nandito ka pa rin. Hahaha. Alam ko naman mahal mo ko eh. Wag ka na magkunwari. Bwaha. Salamat sa panes moments natin. Hindi pa rin ako naaasar. Kahit nilalasing mo ko (oo, ikaw parin ang tingin kong may kasalanan. bwaha) at inaasar palagi. At kinukulit kahit alam mong busy ako at maraming ginagawa. Pero alam ko maaasahan kita palagi. So salamat dun.

10. Sassy Guerrero

Kapatid, Happy, kamusta? Hahaha. Ang dami dami na nangyari since nagkakilala tayo sa regcom. Hindi ko na maalala paano exactly at kung saan, kung prep days ba or work days. Sa batcave ba, batcaf, sa assessment areas.. hindi ko na maalala. Basta alam ko lng, dun nag-umpisa ang lahat. Ang earliest memory ko of you, nung nsa soc sci tyo, 2ndfloor, sumisilip salabas ng window kc tinuturo mo skn si.. after nun, nsa foyer tyo nakaupo lng sa sahig at ngtatawanan. Salamat sa lahat ng tawanan at katuwaan na nangyayari tuwing magkasama tayo. No doubt naman na masaya ang sassy-joy times. Hahaha. Hindi ko makakalimutan lahat un. Tama na rin sa pang-aasar. Walang patutunguhan. Hahaha. At yung dare namin syo, gawin mo na. Ang tagal tagal na nun, nung 1st sem pa. At yung card, ibigay mo na. Pinaghirapan namin hanapin un.

11. Veni Valde

Naging close lng tayo after my first heartache and I've always considered that to be a blessing in disguise. Because of it, I found you and I don't mean this in the cheesy/mushy sort of way. Haha. You and your path to goodwill and righteousness (which we followed so we are both graduating, yey!). Anyway, thank you for putting up with my stubbornness and my sabog-ness. And my rants. I learned a lot from you, not just through our talks, but also through your rants as well. I'm proud to be your favorite Chinese. :) It sounds racist, doesn't it? Haha. We've always had classes together since Cog and we never even talked about what classes we'll take. I knew you were stalking me (HAHA). Visit me in UE or maybe I'll visit you in ASMPH. Basta, we'll see each other cos I know you're gonna miss me. And when I say that, I'm really just saying that I'm gonna miss you too. :)

12. Yumi Mortel
Yumi.. We have so much history together. Haha. Natatawa nalang ako kapag naiisip ko lahat nang nangyari. Back then I didn't think Id be able to just laugh at it but yeah. Hahaha. Friend turned "enemy" turned friend. For what it's worth, she's the only thing I cannot trust you with. I don't mean it in a bad way. I know maiintindihan mo ung sinabi ko and I don't really care if other people don't. I'm glad what happened happened, I learned so much more than I ever could have if it didn't.

my first ever p.e. class in ateneo: judo.

our first ever lesson: the right way to fall.

in judo, your arms cushion your fall. they're supposed to slam on the floor as soon as possible to take the force away from whichever body part.

we practiced this every class time. we needed to master it. and i believe we did since we all finished the class without any serious injuries.

so 3-4 years have passed. i'm about to graduate and it is only now that i learn..

no matter how many times you take judo, even if u dedicate your life to it and get a black belt..

there is no right way to fall.
