The CSB Experience 4: Things I'm Proud to Have Done



If there is a list of regrets, there's another list for non-regrets. I'm happy for the things that I have manage to do and achieve.

1. Going to CG Overdrive and going to overseas.

2. Joined an org in MediaMax that made me feel like I belonged

3. Joined an org that made me realize that I don't need to push myself too hard to become memorable.

4. Going to Graphika Manila after 2 failed attempts

5. Joining the FOP as a volunteer orientor for three terms.

6. Represented my school in a radio program loud and proud even when I froze live.

7. Becoming an intern in a legendary radio station

8. Becoming friends with multiple circles of friendships

9. Been to all three campuses of CSB: Main, AKIC and SDA

10. Ate at all three Chef's Stations

11. Got to eat at Vatel Restaurant-Manila (and hopefully Solomon Guest House by graduation)

12. Met amazing people behind-the-scenes, behind-the-curtains and behind-the-mic

13. Did my thesis despite the odds

14. Made friends with people outside my course

15. Found out today (June 30, 2011) that Lance's friend, Mark, is not the guy in that Nissin Cup noodle commercial that has been troubling me for years.

I realize today that academics or loyalty does not always equate to being memorable. I myself want to be remembered but I only know now that being "memorable" does not require having to boast a medal, a piece of paper, or any material thing that is used to represent recognized.

It is nice and humbling to know that I need not worry of not being remembered at all because I found out that people now know my name. Hearing that huge applause that day when I stood up to go in front of the microphone to ask a question during today's special awarding ceremony, words cannot describe the happiness and fulfillment I felt.

I am fulfilled.
