June 8 na, Di Ba?

Anong petsa na ba? Ang tagal naman. 

I haven't been in a good mood since last night and I woke up early this morning on the wrong side of the bed. I went to a family gathering a little bit gloomy but I need to not let them notice my condition... or else. So I tried my best to conceal my state, switched on my laptop, started making looooooooooong threads with my "emo" TUKSiFriends and the rest's history.

Blame this photo

We started reminiscing our remarkable experiences during college, constantly exchanging I love you's and I miss you's.... and we're not even drunk. I'm not sure what will happen if we all see each other again. I think I should advise the management of our planned destination to activate CCTVs and tighten their security...just in case (alam niyo na, baka may magkapatayan sa pagmamahal). LOL.

I feel so lucky happy to have such amazing friends. They never fail  to blow the bad vibes away and to paint that smile on my face. They are the people who'll understand everything about me and will not make any judgement on my decisions but will point out the wrong ones. I love them to bits for they are the CRAZY bunch who will be willing to bitch slap anyone for me (hello, minions! CHOS!).

I know that I'll be having the same mood I had last night as I switch off this laptop tonight. But I thank TUKS  for today, they saved me from a feeling I thought I couldn't handle on my own.

Fast forward to June 8, pretty please? :) Sasabog na kami sa dami ng mga kwento namin e. TISSUE MOMENT!

Today, our PolSci batch went to Zone5 to have our graduation photos taken and all I can say is… OWZUUUUM! Zone5 people were nice to us and they’re very accommodating. Plus! They have great hairstylists/make up artists!

I love how they made it look simple and natural. I’m quite maarte when it comes to my make up. I usually have mine done by myself because often, if done by someone else, I don’t like the result. But in Zone5, I liked it! I even asked the make-up artist what combinations he used. I will try it myself one of these days! :)

Another thing I loved in our shoot was that they were able to help me get through my creative shot dilemma. I was really hesitant if I will be able to achieve my peg for my creative shot. I was thinking to do a burlesque-ish photo (see THIS) but I was doubting too if WE (I and Zone5) can make it! But with the help of their stylists and kuya Alex(photographer) we were able to pull it off! Here’s a glimpse of how I looked:

These photos were from a friend’s camera. I did a beauty shot cause I was scared to show more skin but I saw the raw photos from Kuya Alex already and I can’t wait any longer for Aninag2012 (college yearbook) to be published!

The photoshoot became more memorable because of TUKS. We did our barkada shots and doing it WAS A HELL OF FUN. I really missed those five tuknenengs, the five people who added flavor to my college life. I really missed those bitches who always back me up for being such a weakling, whom I shared the craziest things with and who loved me for better and for worse. 

We had two settings. TWO MATURE SETTINGS. ;) How I love looking back and realize how much we grew. ♥

Gradpic shoot = FUN. I’d love to do it again. :)

Hi TUKS! :) 

It has been three years since our first hi’s and hello’s. We were the loudest people during our first block lunch and I remember how some of us became BFFs instantly. Now that we are on our fourth and final (hopefully) year in college, I just want to look back to those times when our lives were not yet too complicated. :)

I miss those school activities we attended that turned out as barkada UBE. :)

I think this is our ULTIMATE TUKSiPHOTO. :) —THE 2008 UP Lantern Parade. 

Our NSTP Project!- The Itchyworms concert (I forgot the title) 

NSTP Project: Nov. 30, 2008- We were teachers for a day during the RockEd project in Ateneo De Manila. I remember, we were featured in Sharon because of this! :)

EPIC! NatSci5 project! :) This photo was taken during our shoot. :) Hooray!

EPIC-EST. MOA: The NatSci5 Assignment. :) We were arrested because of counting cars?! woah. 

PI 100 Banahaw Trip- The craziest field trip eveeeeer! :) 

COLAP V- Secretariat assistants but feeling delegates too. :)) The photo says it all. :)

Leadership Training Seminar 2010- Admit it, this is the super instant Ultimate Bonding Experience. I missed those two days and three nights with you guys! :)

Aside from school activities, we bond through parties and afterparties! Yay! Overnights! I miss those times when it’s past 3am and we’re all still up because or random things (horror stories, food, mindfucking films, a noisy friend, alarm clocks etc.). Birthdays become extra special because of our friendship. :)

Just like what we did when I turned 18. It was a hell of a night I will surely treasure! :) 

Apart from all of this, we always celebrate Christmas together (pre or post). I swear to the saint of all saints, thinking and buying gifts for you were the hardest of all my activities during the Christmas Season. But after seeing  your “wagas” smiles after receiving my gifts, it’s worth the creative juices, strength, and money. XD

Christmas Party 2008 (Ashley’s Place)- One word. WINAAAAAAR! :) 

Christmas Party 2009 (Jhei’s Place) - The instant one! Yesss. The whole party was an instant celebration, even the food. Haha!

Christmas Party 2010 (Enchated Kingdom + Tagaytay Dinner) - Level up! Cold yet fun-filled night! :) 

I miss TUKS! I miss us. I miss those long chats (2hours-> minimum) after every meal. We talk about anything and everything we could think of. I miss those looking-back-to-our-childhood times enumerating our favorite cartoon shows, like, “Judie Abott!”.

I miss those long walks that leads to nowhere. I miss the small circle we form in every corner of P.Faura that consumes 1/3 of our free time. We keep on complaining, “O, nakabilog nanaman tayo, lakad na” but after few steps, we were forming that small circle again.

I miss those random tambays wherever. Those unplanned visits in whoever’s place because we want to sleep, eat instant noodles, watch a movie, charge a phone or just stare at each other’s faces. 

I miss those times when we never had to text each other- “Lunchdate” or “How are you? I miss you”. I miss those times when we never had to set a date and time just to see each other because we know that we will have a bonding time later, tomorrow, the next day, next week or next month. I miss those times when we were not just facebook friends, textmates, classmates, or orgmates. I miss those times when we have lesser conflicts. I miss those times when we were more than siblings, even more than a family. 

I know that we’re not getting any younger. After few months, we will encounter a difficult test of our friendship. Sooner or later we will have our own separate lives. We will explore the world out there and live our dreams. I understand that along our journey, others will choose a different road but I am sure that somewhere along our paths, we will meet. 

Let’s make most out of our remaining time. Let’s bond. Pretty please?  I love you all!
