The CSB Experience: S.Ex., Pedro Gil, St. Paul, UP Manila, Robinson's Place, etc

    Inisip ko muna, "What if kung iche-check out ko iyung mga lugar sa Pedro Gil kasi matagal na akong di pa nakakapunta doon, ever since nung nag-Field Trip kami nung elementray sa loob ng science museum ng Up Manila.

    Unang una sa lahat, pinasyalan ko ang buong stretch nang Pedro Gil kaso ang haba kaya di na ako tumuloy. Sumunod, doon ako sa side ng St. Paul at UP ang dinaanan ko. Good thing ay tanghali nungmga oras na iyon kaya maraming lumabas galing sa mga schools na iyon para manghalian. Tamang-tama, tinawagan ko sa cellphone ko ang pinsan kong Paulinian. Kaso kumakain na siya sa loob kaya tumuloy na ako sa paghahanap nang lugar nang pakkainian ko.

    Gulat na lang ako at nakita ko sa tabi lang ng St. Paul ang S.Ex. a.k.a. Sinangag Express. Akalain , 'no? Doon na ako kumain ng lunch at nung lagpas ala-dose nang tanghali, umalis na ako sa Pedro Gil para bumalik sa CSB kasi klase ko nung time na iyon ay ala una.

Ang Gabing Tinawag Ko ang Buong Malabon at Navotas

    Nakakainis talaga! Kagabi kasi may nangyari na talagang nagpataranta sa buong pamilya ko. Heto lang kasi ang dahilan, kapatid kong bunso umuwi nang dis oras na nang gabi, pinaalala pa niya kami at halos mahimatay sa takot!

    Heto na, ilalahad ko. Kasi kahapon ng umaga, nagpaalam ang kapatid ko sa'min na hindi kaagad siya makakauwi ng bahay. Kasi daw, magpapraktis ng sayaw ang buong section niya (III-St. Pius) sa isang lugar sa Navotas. Pumayag naman kami.

    Gabi na akong nakauwi at ang nasa bahay ay ang ate't kuya ko na kapwa walang pasok nung araw na iyon. Nalaman ko na hindi pa pala umuuwi iyung bunos namin kaya hindi muna namin inisip kasi mga alas sais ng gabi na iyon. Nasa bahay na rin ang mommy ko.

    Magma-Maging Sino Ka Man na sa TV, wala pa rin sa bahay si bunso kaya doon na kami na-aalala. Inisipan kong tawagin ang ka-batch ko nung high school, si Erjam. Kapatid niya kasi, ka-seksyon ng kapatid ko kaya siya ang una kong tinawagan. Itinanong ko sa kanya kung may alam siya tungkol sa practice na kapatid niya.

     Cut short to a few minutes later, nag-aalala na ang mommy ko at hanggang ngayon wala pa rin sa paningin namin ang bunso namin. Kung sinu-sino na ang tinatawagan ko ang pinagkuhanan ko nang mga phone numbers ay ang luma kong yearbook nung grade six. Ang mga tinawagan ko (kung naalala ko pa silang lahat) ay;

1. Erjam
2. Jeco
3. Mark
4. Vinni
5. Mhela
6. Catherine
7.Kung sino man ang mga taga-Navotas na ang numbers na nakasulat sa yearbook ay gumagana pa rin
8. Czar
9.Marami pang iba

    Hindi naglaon, wala na kaming choice kungdi tawagin ang adviser ng Pius na si Mr. Macam. Ako naman, gamit ang landline phone namin, natawagan ko ang number na binigay ng dati kong teacher sa Chem (other than my other Chem teacher). Iyung binigay na number ay pag-aari ng kaklase ni Jorge. Nalaman na namin na 10:30 na sila nakatapos, late dumating ang choreo nila, hindi sila kaagad pinauwi ng choreo nila, walang dalang cell si Jorge at wala rin siyang mahiraman para tawagin kami, may kasabay siya sa pag-uwi na taga Obando, Bulacan (malapit kami sa border ng Bulacan).

    Alas onse na, hindi pa rin ako nakakapaghugas ng pinagkainina sa hapunan sa sobrang pag-aalala. Nakauwi na rin at doon natapos ang isang gabi ng pagtataranta't pag-aalala.

The CSB Experience: The Mini-Reunion (By Popular Demand)

   Yesterday, we had a freecut on Comsk2 Lab because my prof went to a meeting. Supposed to be, we were to watch a movie of bulgar-speaking insects called ANTZ but then some technical difficulties forced us to watch it at home, thus the freecut. Oh yeah, in that particular Comsk2 class are DV1 grads Issi, Marlon and Camae.

   Now, I want to go home early but a thought came to me that no one is at the house at that time (My broher is still at school by 1:00 pm) so I decided to stay for the time being. Although never did I realize that we leave our housekeys to our neighbors, so thank goodness to that.

......Cut short to 5:00 pm, I'm still at school and I'm hanging out with a sleeping Chris and a bright girl named Mandy (She lights up everybody's day :)) and fellow schoolmate named Andy (I got the name right?). Pax is having class as well as Issi, Marlon, and Ciz.

    Around 5:20, Issi, MArlon and Czarlene went downstairs to look for us and have me, Chris and Mandy write something for a group activity for their Reconse. With them is a guy I knew from MMX's team building in Antipolo.

   5:40 pm, classes are dismissed. Lots of students are coming out from their classrooms and I see Jane, Reynalei and Katriz walking and I wave a hi to them (That's just soooo nice!:)) Issi, Marlon and Pax all went to Plaza V to hang out in the hut where me, Chris and Mandy are at.  stayed a little while longer so I could ensure that by the time I leave, someone's at the house already. Chris is using Mandy's laptop (with Vista) to check something on Itunes.

   Meanwhile, nightfall came and Carlo came into the picture. He borrowed Mandy's laptop as Chris left the hut to do something really important. As it happens, Carlo checked himself into Friendster, and then Multiply. While doing that, we saw Gilbert and Mikee. Gilbert saw me and he felt silent. He wnet on saying "I missed you..."....Nah, just kidding, we already sa each other a few hours back.

   Quarter to 7 in the evening, I have to go home. Seen a lot of DV1 lately including the Rm m508 TH class during 3:40 whcih comprise of many DV1 people. By next year, we'll all have a get together for our second recollection.

Before anything else: Hi Gilbert, you just read what is now your 55th blog.
