Okay, so I'm still in denial about leaving for Manila on Tuesday, and school starting on Wednesday. Seriously, what person in their right mind would start school in the middle of the week? It's ludicrous!





I guess I'm more bummed out about the fact that I won't be able to go home once the school year officially begins. I do have ONE class on Saturday; and it's Math, too, would you believe it? Talk about good luck. Yeah, right. Whatever.





I think the only things that'll keep me from going insane are my friends, and that I'm going to meet other Twilight fans one of these days. I really am looking forward to it.





Goodbye free and unlimited internet time. I really am gonna miss staying up late surfing the net.






I won't be coming home. I won't be coming home. Holy crap. I wanna cry..

LSS OF THE DAY: "THE LETTER"
Performed by: Carly Smithson and Michael Johns








Sorry I haven't been updating in a while.





I won't be updating my story blog until I get the GO signal from Blogger, because they think that it's a Spam Blog coz there's so much activity going on; I was editing the layout at the time. CRAP CRAP CRAP.





I must have read Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse more than a dozen times already. I can't wait for Breaking Dawn on August 2!





So, yeah, Patsy and I watched Lea Salonga's dress rehearsal at PICC, where I also met Richard Guttierez.






On my way home after enrollment, I got a message from Kuya Chuckie informing me that we were going to have a Behavioral Science Federation meeting (BehSciFed) on the 6th of June in De La Salle University. At first I told him that I wasn't so sure if I was going to attend since I wasn't able to go to the last one; but he insisted. So when I got home and asked Dad, he said YES :D







It did have one downside, though. The fare from Dagupan to Cubao got higher; it used to be 299php, but now it's 340php. What the heck happened?! And to make me feel even worse, I heard that the day I bought it was the day they first implemented that price-hike. CRAP.







The bus left around seven in the morning. The trip was pretty uneventful since I slept most of the way. Oh, wait, there's another downside; a guy, in his early 30's I think, sat beside me and he took up most of the space. He "spread" his legs apart--for lack of a better term--, if you know what I mean, and I got so uncomfortable that I was already leaning on the glass because his arm was touching MY arm. *shudder*







I got down at the bus terminal and went to Gateway; I think that was just my second time there. I hardly roam around Manila. I had a quick lunch at Buger King, then I met up with Kuya Chuckie. We took the LRT going to Recto, where we met up with Kuya Javi, then we took another LRT (a different line) going to Vito Cruz. We talked most of the way; actually, they were giving me the heads-up for my Junior year. They asked what subjects I have this semester then they started going through names of my possible professors and their teaching styles. They even advised me to find ways on how to keep myself awake if I ever we do end up with one of those droning old people.







Kuya Javi's the president of our Behavioral Science Society in UST so he was telling me about the different projects that they already have. Aside from the BES t-shirt, they're also going to make a BES jacket, BES bag and even a keychain. Lotsa merchandise, lotsa money go bye-bye. But he did promise that they're not going to release them at the same time. He and Kuya Chuckie even talked about the Sensitivity Training that they're going to facilitate for us in December; I'm already excited about it. Their still not sure on the venue and how much its gonna cost but they assured me that it was going to be so worth it. And they kept on repeating to me that we should learn from our Sensi Training because we'll be the next facilitators to Sophomores when its their turn.







When we finally made it to La Salle, Czars, an incoming Sophomore who I first met at the Launching of the Federation, was already outside waiting for us. We were supposed to wait for Kuya Arden but it was almost two so we told him that he'll just meet us wherever we're going to be. The guard checked our IDs and then we finally went in. I gotta admit, it's a pretty nice campus; big and almost all the buildings were white. And almost everything was covered, not like in UST where you have to walk under the sun almost all the time. And that explains why my watch left a "shadow" on my left arm.







We just followed Kuya Chuckie since he knew his way around. It was my first time, and it was Kuya Javi's first time, too. It wasn't such a long walk but because of the heat it felt like we were walking for miles and miles. We were sweating so badly when we got in the building.







I was pretty psyched to see some of my old friends. The familiar faces that I saw first were Chui and Eunice. Chui was my partner in our first activity during the team building seminar last November and I considered him as one of my first friends at that time. Then I saw Carmel, who was also part of our team, and Jerdy, the president of the Behavioral Science Society of La Salle.







I was talking to Czars when Carmel held out her phone to me and said that Jan wanted to talk to me. I wasn't quite sure as to what she was getting at, but I took the phone anyway. Apparently, Jan just woke up when they called him and I even told him to go back to sleep. We only talked for a few minutes. When I gave the phone back, Chui asked me if Jan was coming and I told him that I didn't know; then he made a show of calling him again but I left him to it.







Kuya Arden arrived while I was talking to Jan, and when he saw me, he asked how I was. We started talking and I learned that he was also a big fan of musicals. He even got slightly jealous that I was able to meet Lea Salonga, but other than that, we were good. When I told him about some of my favorites, he told me that they did RENT when they were in second year as a requirement for their English subject; and he played Angel, the cross-dresser. He said that he was supposed to wear real stilettos for the role but he sprained his ankle so he used something else.







We continued talking even when we were inside the classroom. We had our own little world; Kuya Javi, Kuya Chuckie and Czars were in a separate universe. I'm pretty happy that at least someone likes the same music as I do that's not part of my family. Kuya Arden told me that he does theater sometimes and he offered to let me know if any auditions come up so I can join. Yipee!








Someone pointed out earlier that that wasn't going to be just a meeting, but sort of like a bonding session between the representatives of the three different universities. I think it was Jerdy who said that there are no school rivalries in that room (just in the UAAP, he added) and that we were one. YES!







The meeting officially started after a few minutes, after everyone from La Salle, UST and UPM (UP Manila) settled in. But right after we prayed, Carmel came up to me and handed me a piece of paper which read: "To Lui, From your Secret Admirer". She and Chui told me to open it right then and there, and when I did, I burst out laughing.







What was inside? ASK THEM :P







We first elected the officers and they are as follows:


BOARD OF REPRESENTATIVES FOR THE BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE FEDERATION:
Representative for External Affairs: Chris Abanador - DLSU
Representative for Internal Affairs: Maria Andrea Mandap - UPM
Representative for Academics: Czars Raquel - UST
Representative for Activities: Candice Melgar - UPM
Representative for Budget and Finance: Arden Lim - UST
Represnetative for Documentation: Kiko dela Cruz - UPM
Representative for Public Affairs: Ian Legarda - DLSU







Kuya Chuckie wanted me to run for a position, but I didn't want to.







We had an icebreaker after that. I won't tell you what we did, but I will tell you this:







NILE RIVER - historical, way of communication, avoids drought








Use your imagination ;)






The BoR held a meeting of their own, while the rest of us talked. And talked. And talked. And helped them out when they asked for our opinions. They finished around five-thirty.






I noticed something during the meeting. Hmmmm. Nah. I doubt it. I'm letting my imagination run away with me, again.






There was a band playing on our way out, and because Kuya Javi's eyes were fixed on them, he didn't notice that he was walking straight towards a pole; he hit his chest and his head. Tsktsktsk. But of course, all of us got a good laugh out of that.






Czars stayed behind because she had to wait for somebody so the guys and I headed to McDonald's, which was right beside La Salle. And again, lots of talking to going on. I think I have an idea on where our Sensitivity Training's gonna be. This is gonna be fuuuuuuuuuuun.







And again, we took the LRT going back to Recto, Kuya Arden got off at one of the stops, and another one going to Cubao. We got down ahead of Kuya Javi because he had a different stop. So it was just me and Kuya Chuckie again. He said he wasn't familiar with the area, therefore he didn't know where the bus station was so we walked around a little bit. Then he pointed towards the MRT, and sure enough, we were on the right track since the bus station was just below it. He was nice enough to accompany me to the overpass, and there we said goodbye.






And by this time, I was sweating really, really, badly from all the walking.







There was a line at the ticket booth, and I think the only times I've ever been stuck in a line was before Christmas break. Dad said it was because of the long weekend. I finally got a ticket and we left around eight-ish. I was so tired that I fell asleep as soon as we started moving. I opened my eyes once in a while, just to make sure that I don't pass Calasiao so I could text my Dad.







I arrived at the Dagupan terminal at one A.M.







Whew! My legs hurt. All that walking and standing finally took its toll on me. Oh well.







I had a great day. Tiring, but fun. And I miss my Kuyas. Say you miss me too! Hahaha!








A big, big, THANK YOU to everyone at the meeting. Especially to Kuya Javi, Kuya Arden and Kuya Chuckie. See you guys soon!






School's gonna start on the 11th. They could have made it on the 16th. DARN.
