At long last, I was able to visit UST for the first time today. It was not really planned. Biglaan, sobra. Zye was only planning to go to UP today coz she has no classes for the whole day. But due to unexpected events, we were able to have a “university hopping”. Haha. Actually, 2 universities lang yun (UP and UST).
I was with Karla, Gene and Zye. We had lunch at Gateway and went to UST right after. While we were on our way to UST, I had this “emergency”. Yes, it was an emergency. Basta. So we had no choice but to go straight to Andi’s dorm. Nakakahiya man pero kelangan ko talaga siyang ilabas. Hahaha.
After going to Andi’s dorm, we toured around UST. I loved it, the campus, the people, the environment. I felt welcomed and at ease. Haha. I’m not saying that UP’s not making me feel welcomed. It’s just that, there’s something in UST that would make you feel different. I guess it’s the feeling of having a “family”, the feeling of belongingness. Yek. Haha. Wala lang. I can’t feel that mood in UP. Because in UP, there are just too many people around, people you don’t know. When you stop, sit at one place and just look around, you would really notice that everyone’s too busy. It’s like everyone’s so occupied with things, minding their own businesses. Kanya-kanya. Well, hindi lahat. But generally and in my own point of view, ganon sa UP. It’s not that I hate being in UP. Don't get me wrong. I love being a "taga-UP". I'm proud of being a "skolar ng bayan", who whould not be, right? I think I just have to get used to it. Maybe, ganon talaga. Maybe, eventually I'll feel the feeling of "belongingness" I'm talking about. Owell.
Anyway, we toured UST with Andi, Lyka, Karyll, Ayeen, JZ and Kris. It feels so light being with your highschoolmates again.
We also had this kris kringle thing. Trip-trip lang. But I don’t know how we will give our gifts to our monitas because we barely see each other.
I felt really happy today. Although I got tired traveling from UP to Gateway to UST, at least I had so much fun, REAL FUN.
Everyday you wait is another day you’ll never get back again.
