The CSB Experience 2: Eating Benildean Fish Fillet at the Z-Square

Ah! I was supposed to write a grievance post about the evil man at the DLSU visitor kiosk who never lets CSB students from coming into the mother-school grounds. This all changed when I was able to get through it with the help of my Jamer alumni friend. Still, that guy sucks bigtime.

Anyway, I bought myself packed fish fillet from KOI from the CSB Caf (Main) and was supposed to be on my way to SDA to eat there. I took a quick trip to the OSA to have them sign my blue form for Saturday's MMx teambuilding. Unfortuantely, I seem to have lost it (I may have left it at home, waghh!). Suddenly, someone pat on my back. I turned around and found it was my kuya's batchmate and Fred's cousin, Albert.

He invited me to eat with him at Main [DLSU]. I hesitated at first because of my recent experience from the evil visitor kiosk dude at the South Gate. But since I am about to eat anyway, I tagged along.

Once there, I let Albert do the talking, lying that we are to do some research at the DLSU library. He bought it and gave us visitor passes and slips. Next thing I knew, we are all in! Woohoo!

The question now is: Where the heck is the libary?! For someone who's not a student of a large university, I really don't have the slightest idea on where to go. Albert took the initiative and used his instinct to lead us. At some mini-park filled with chairs, tables, and umbrellas; he saw a girl sitting somewhere there under an umbrella, reading a book and her cellphone out. He smooth talked his way to make her tell where the library is: on the left side of the chapel behind us. That would have to do since their signages are so confusing.

Once there, we asked two 20-something custodians to sign our visitor slips. I guessed they got what we were talking about thus agreed on signing them.

Off we go to the famous cafeteria Lasallians are all talking about, Z-Square. We went passed hot babes in mini-skirts, hot babes in mini-shorts, and hot babes in sleepers (I didn't notice, si Albert lang), plus there was some org recruitment thing going on in-between. The La Salle envy got into me again, wishing the CSB could at least soften its dress code policy and allow us to wear slippers (there ought to be regulations instead of a total ban anyway).

Enter the Z-2x. I was amazed that despite being obviously crowded by long tables and chairs, they have a wide array of stalls in the 1st floor alone, IN ALL FOUR CORNERS!  They even have their own Domino's Pizza stal!! Sa'n ka pa!

Albert bought tempura, a 25-peso side snack and what was described by my ate as "the most delicious home-cooked burger I [Ate] ever ate!". I just bought some C2 worth 25 pesos.

Now that all were setted, Albert and I had a guy-to-guy talk about girls. Something about why they are this way, and how guys in our high school would make 'porma' to get girls. We also talked about certain personalities in high school on why they are what they were back then and how, in Albert's opinion, they will finally fall into retribution, etc.

It's really nice to get to know more about Fred's cousin. I only met him during 2nd term course card distribution last year. He's a good a friend to converse with tas well as a good pianist (he and Fred are being taught by one instructor). Despite me having a problem being 'bulol', he donesn't really mind at all.

The next time I go to La Salle, I'll be buying food coming from there, especially the much-talked about burgers that they make. Hahahah!

 

Even so, the guy at the visitor kiosk still sucks like rotten eggwhites!
