June 9 – June 10, 2011
Soooo yeah. I just got home from the most epic day I have ever had and I am psyched! This is gonna be a reeeeally, really long narration about how my last night in CDO turned out to be so I anticipate to be writing about two thousand words or more. No, you don’t need to read it all, skimming will be fine, but I shall, in much detail, recount the many events and moments that I will truly treasure for the rest of my life. :)
First of all, I got up this morning, showered, ate some damn good breakfast, and went off to Patag with my lappy, aka AIST, where my maternal grandparents stay (and whom I stayed with when I went to school here in CDO for one year). I was sort of anxious, swords and all, ready to argue again with my Lola (if it ever came to that – it’s a long story, and I’ve previously written about it), but it never happened. I packed my stuff in peace (with my Lolo’s bitterness radiating off the walls because we didn’t properly greet him during his recent birthday) while listening to some music from Aist. It took me about 30 minutes to decide which clothes to bring and which to leave, which shoes, which stuff toys to jam in there too, and which memorabilia I couldn’t leave behind. So after that, I left with a hesitant kiss to cheek for my Lolo to go to school.
This is part where the really, really pissed off part of me emerges from the depths of my subconscious that you would not want to mess with. So what happened was: in the jeep, I texted my (disowned) Tsuin if she was free for lunch or whatever since I was leaving at 1 to go to the mall with Zee Gang (which she is sorta a part of). And unbelievably, I was appalled when she replied that she couldn’t because she had a lunch date with Paolo (who treats her like shit but she lets him do it anyways – I won’t rant about this, he’s an asshole). You can NOT begin to imagine the SHOCK and BITTERNESS on my face when I read her text. In my mind I thought, “WTF? SRSLY?” And I texted her that, “I won’t ever see you again...” or somewhere along that line and the only thing she replied was a freakin’: “Gomen, Tsuin,” which translates to: “Sorry, Tsuin.” Oh, wow. That’s the best she could come up with...
BITCH, I DON’T NEED YOUR SORRY! I NEED YOU TO DUMP THAT MOTHERFUCKER because you can have all the time you want with him! You can have sex (or try) all you want afterwards and see if I’d care! I mean, I can only see you for just a few more hours, and you blow me off for some lunch date with a bastard ex-boyfriend who looks like some fucking TRUCK ran over his face twenty times and who asks for your help so he can hit on other girls?! Where the FUCK is the justice in that, huh?! HUH?! Where is the MOTHERFUCKING FRIENDSHIP IN THAT?! I thought we were sisters; we were twins for Christ’s sake! You couldn’t even blow off that time for me when I’m never even gonna see you again for 5 years?! WTF?! Way to go for friendship, Tsuin. THIS is why a lot of people hate on you because you even turn on the people who care for you the most. The next time you cry over that dickhead, you’ll only get a “go screw yourself” from me. If you ever decide to talk to me again, a better apology would be nice.
ANYWAY, bitchy-ness aside, I got to school and all. Had lunch with Cru people. Net on lappy. At about almost 1pm, Ken aka Mah Men, Eboy aka Bitch, and Jerome aka Maniniyot, came by the office to fetch me so we could go to the mall already. We went at the speed of light (or at whatever speed jeeps can actually achieve), and got in the cinema for X-MEN FIRST CLASS only 10-15 minutes late.
The movie was epic, man, don’t blame me. But some parts just really left me hangin’ and the plot was not too...well, it wasn’t too thought of to the last detail. It was amusing to see Wolverine there though. I’d recommend it for people who want to know how X-MEN began, but not for people who just wanna see Wolverine scratch a post (or a human body – whichever is preferred) or see Storm’s eyes go all white (heck, she wasn’t even there).
So after the movie, I bid goodbye to the guys (because they have classes *insert evil laugh here*) and went along with my Grand-Aunt aka Mommy Glo to buy some other stuff for New Zealand, namely socks and an umbrella for the winter. I also went scavenging for a gift to a certain someone whose name shall not be disclosed for the moment.
Afterwards, I went back to school and crashed at the Cru Office at STC-302 like I always do (and for the last time) to wait for the pizza to come.
THIS IS WHERE THE FUN PART STARTS. BRACE YOSELF.
Goopio, EIC of last year’s Cru Pub, had promised me that he’d buy some pizzas for a little eating marathon with some of the members. I assumed it was like that. We waited ‘til about half past 7 or so until the pizza finally arrived with all its cheesy-meaty-crusty glory.
Happily munching on my nth slice of pizza, Toping (Layout Editor woot woot), arrived with a TARPOLEINE in his hands and my freakin’ face on it. I totally blanked out, and hid under the freakin’ table due to the utter shock. I had not expected something like that. I thought it was only going to be a quiet pizza-eating marathon at the office to discuss the effectiveness of condoms, but nooooooo! They got me a freakin’ tarp with cows on it! COWS! And pictures of my awesome self! Hahahahaha! I couldn’t say a word. I just. Woah. Brain-banged!
So anyways, after all the commotion with the tarp and my face on it, eating resumed... After a while, people got quiet (too quiet), and then they started letting the boys get out of the room. I was thinking, “Are they gonna have me strip or something (?), because I did NOT expect I’d be my own stripper!”
That’s when Ching (News Editor woot woot) came in with a bunch of roses and then...the tears suddenly spilled out of my eyes. I was just so shocked that I can’t even describe how freakin’ surprised and amazed I was about everything that was happening. And Arbie (Human Resource Manager woot woot) explained to me that if I was going to have a debut I’d rather have it here, which was absolutely a fabulous idea. The guys came out one by one (namely Lyle the Sports Ed, Haiko the Photography Ed, Senday the Design Ed, Goopio the Managing Ed, Ryan the Editor-in-Chief, Sam the ex-Features Ed who’s going abroad too, and lastly Toping).
You can NOT even begin to comprehend the state of my mixed feelings. I felt like if I added one more ingredient I would totally lose it; lose the magical taste of it all. Enough was enough. I felt too loved already. <3
Pictorial sessions ensued all around the office. And then I got out of the office to call somebody when I noticed that Setti (National Features Ed wooooot), didn’t look very festive as much as everyone did.
Now, what I’m about to relate is a very confidential thing. You must swear secrecy!
So now that you’re sitting on pins and needles and my potential anger, I’ll tell you what happened. I approached her and guess what? She started to cry and she hugged me (she never HUGS people). Again, the mixed feelings. I was so touched and moved by her tears but I couldn’t get them out. I comforted her with empty words because I couldn’t really say anything at the moment that would make her feel better. She blamed it on my sadism.
SET, SADISTIC TENDENCIES ASIDE, I am really really touched by what happened. I promise I won’t let you down. Your tears will not go to waste. :’) I’ll miss ya, dude.
So ANYWAY. After that, we just went out to Wilsbar.
Apart from the awesome Wifi at WB, I had an equally awesome time with the Crupips. We sang like there was no tomorrow about how stupid (!) love is and about the fact that everyone one wants to be famous and be stars and be in movies (Pussycat Dolls reference). We had two bottles of Tanduay that Arbie and I gunned like crazy.
As everyone went home one by one, only Ate Hannah (Features Local Editor woot woot), Sam, Goopio, Ryan, Haiko and I were left. After my probably-last proven session (credits sa mga nanlinbre sa ako!), we went to Dunkin and talked about STDs, condoms, and crab lice. Yes, we’re as awesomely random as that.
The five of us (minus Sam) all jampacked in a taxi that’s larger than all the others (I forgot what it’s called) and basically had a joy ride whilst sending them all to their respective homes. Note: GUYS DAKO ANG BALAY NI GOOPIO, DATO KAAYU!
On our way to Iponan, Ate Hannah and I had a few conversations, but mostly silence settled in the cab. I was pretty much thinking about everything that happened that night and how overwhelming it all was.
*~*~*~*
Right now, I’m in my Lola’s friend’s D-Max pickup while watching the rain pour. I’m still in denial about leaving, but not so much anymore. I’ve come to realize that I have to accept all these things or else I’m going to break down on the plane and throw a bitch fit, and that’s not very good.
I will miss everyone in CdeO. My friends, my teachers, my school, and especially my CruCrew family. Thanks to them, I’ve come to fully realize who I am and what I want to do, and who I’m going to be in the future. They’ve all wished me luck in the Moo-land, and I shall forever read and reread all their lovenotes for me.
I wish I could go back, but it seems that the Lord has better plans. Nonetheless, I shall treasure all the memories and moments that I’ve spent with all the people I love because really, I wouldn’t be this awesome if I hadn’t met them.
Much love to CdeO. No wonder they call it the City of Golden Friendships. <3
