First Day of Everything

'Welcome Freshmen!'

Hello! Well, today was the official first day of college! Take note, not classes ah!

Hmpf! You don't need lips to introduce yourself to other people. You just need your ears to be in perfect condition(matinding orientation ito!). Now, with all ears ready, sit back and enjoy...

...enjoy?

...ha?

My friend, Jaysonnel and I made an agreement that we will meet at the OUR at 7 am. Well, I'm late! Nothing new about that! I was really worried at that time since I didn't even see Jay or any of my blockmates in IP. Scary talaga. Anyway, I know the place where the Orientation will be held so I decided to go there by myself. I saw a lot of 'sariwang tao' or freshmen as I was walking towards UN Avenue. At last, I came to the place without help from anybody. But, then, I encountered a problem. I don't know where to go next.

As I was hopelessly searching for my blockmates, I saw a lot of my former schoolmates. Whatever. Anyway, I finally found someone from my block! I saw the smiling guy from the tour. He let me cut in the line(he was really nice!) and he even introduced me to our other blockmates. They were really nice boys. We went inside the auditorium but then there were no more seats available for the students of our course. So, we stood there and waited. We spotted a bunch of seats and I said to them, 'Mang-agaw na lang tayo ng upuan!'. Hah! They followed me to the seats. While comfortably seated, I chatted with the girl next to me. I asked her what her course is. She said Physical Therapy. Ohh, ok. But then, there came the pink lady and she asked what our course is. We answered her, of course. After learning we're from IP, she made us stand up the hallway because we can't sit there since the seats are for CAMP students. Geez. Back to standing. Luckily, there was this one seat vacant and since I'm the only girl in the group, they let me sit. Harhar...

The ceremony started. There was a mass. The priest's sermon was good. Well, it was cool. And, then a bunch of speakers just talked about this and that, blah blah blah. But, they were really nice. I enjoy most of the talks. I really enjoyed the speech of the chancellor of UP Manila. It was really entertaining and funny(if you are from UP Manila! and not from... ooops! secret!). After that enlightening speech, paangasan na! Haha. The freshmen were introduced by their respective college secretaries. Each introduction comes with a 'paangas' which serves as a sort-of challenge to the freshmen. Comedy ito!

The welcome ceremony ended at 1 pm. It was really a fun program. It was full of goofs, challenges and 'paangas'. Haha. It was a variety show(complete with singing, dancing at kung anu pang echuzes!)! After the ceremony, one of the speakers announced that college orientations will be held in their respective colleges. Our college announced that our orientation will be at 2 pm. After that announcement, we went outside and looked for IPmates. Well, they were gone! I was left with Ian and Johanna(IPmates). We decided to wait and search for our blockmates. But, to our surprise, we just met something fat. We met Sachee/China. She went with us to Rob to erm, eat. After eating, we went back to our respective colleges(Chynes' college is CN, we are from CP). Just in time for the orientation.

I met up with a more familar face, Simel. Then, we just let the orientation take its course. Ang mga people sa CP ay mukhang mababait. Well, siguro nga ganun talaga sila. Anyway, they were really nice. The faculty's cool. They joke around with their students. The presentations were really fun to watch. The ice-breakers were ok. Grabe. The people there are really so cool. Para sa akin a! Basta... they look really nice and they seem really enthusiastic. I wish I become friends with aaallllll of them! Haha..

I was really inspired by the people to strive harder and be tougher. I really wanted to pursue this course. I wanted to succeed in it. I really want to... I really want to...

Anyway, let's just hope for everything to go alright in the coming 5 years(hopefully, 5 lang.. Hehe.)...

'Welcome, Iskolar ng Bayan!'
