Like you, I was a little disappointed when we didn’t place in the Mr. & Ms. UP competition, even if we said we shouldn’t expect anything. But if there’s one thing I’m grateful for the event, it’s that it gave me the chance to get to be closer and more intimate with you. We practiced, and during that night I was able to hug you and hold your hand for quite a time, for the first time. Belated happy birthday Ms. Broadcast Representative and MPRT (Media & Public Relations Team) director. Here’s to more pleasant endeavors in the CMC (College of Mass Communication) student council and in MCO (Mass Communicators Organization)!

Got to chat with Erik last night. He was asking how was I, since he apparently met with some of our high school classmates and they were wondering how I was doing.

Admittedly, I’ve lost touch with my high school classmates, even Erik who’s also in UP like me. We rarely see each other nowadays, ever since I got too immersed in Mass Comm, and him in Econ. I actually miss his company. There’s this pleasant feeling of nostalgia every time I look back at our freshmen days, first semester. We were the only O-boys who went to UP. Everyone else stayed in Ateneo, a few went to UST. We weren’t very close back in high school, but we eventually had to stick together once we entered UP. Lost freshmen we were. We were classmates in two subjects and during our spare time we would wander all around our new school. Anyway, this goes to say that I’m sorry for losing touch. I hope I could spend time with you and the other O-boys sometime. Belated happy birthday!

(I realize this creates a precedent for me to write special entries about friends who have birthdays. Wahh, I wish I could do it every time, but I really won’t able to. This serves as a disclaimer.)
