First day of school noon, lahat yata ng taong nakita ko na tumayo sa harap ng room 213, natanong ko kung anong block sila. Hindi pa ako sure kung ano talaga ibig sbihin ng word na "block" sa college, pero dahil masyadong High school-ish yung "section", sinabi ko nalang block 1CA3 ako.
After a few minutes, I can still remember it quite vividly, when I saw this girlaloo who looked like she was lost. So just like everyone else, I asked her which block she belongs to. Fortunately, both of us were destined to be in 1CA3. We entered the room and I sat next to her. I didn't know why of all people that I have talked to and approached that day, I chose to sit beside this girl. We introduced ourselves to each other and I asked for her number. I tried typing her name in my phone but she politely said "sabi ko na mali e". Just like many of us, once upon a time, namali din ako sa spelling ng name niya. The name is EUNISSE.
I didn't know that that girl whose name was so hard to spell would be my college buddy for better or for worse, for hunger or for bloated-ness.
Months passed by, I wasn't the easiest person to get along with, and so was she. I can say that our friendship, just like metamorphosis, undergone a process which slowly turned into something more beautiful than we ever expected. Chos. Metamorphosis pa daw. Hahahahaha. (Kakanood ko lang ng "It Takes A Man And A Woman") Kasi naman, tignan niyo tong pictures namin, through jeje times, through payat-ness and taba-ness, may bangs o wala, maitim o maputi, short hair or long hair, pinag-daanan namin lahat yan together! :)
Sa dami ng group works or partner works na nalampasan namin kahit minsan hindi kami nag-away ng bonnga. Alam kong naiinis siya sakin, minsan ako din sa kanya pero normal lang yun. Sa apat na taon ba naman ng pressure at kung ano anong stress, sobrang galing lang talaga namin na na-maintain namin yung real friendship na walang hidden feelings or backstab-an.
Yung pressure at stress ng 4 years nakakapang-hingalo, nakakasira ng relationships but we went through all that and it made us better and stronger, never falling apart. Imagine: thesis at IMC palang OA na sa ngarag, eh magka-group kami sa parehong 'yon. Di pa kasama yung mga singit singit na prods, papers at activities na dagdag sa eyebags. Hanggang sa paghahanap ng pag-oojt-han, kami ang mag-kasama.
Eunisse de leon: my forever college kakampi.
Di sapat ang isang blog post para i-kwento lahat pero eto nalang muna nag shortcut. Abangan mo nalang yung portion na to sa Biography ko. :))))
Seldom can one find a friend that's so real, honest, reliable, and fun to be with. Gets na gets niya ko. Gets na gets ko din siya. Affectionate akong tao, mayakap at ma-kiss. Affectionate din naman siya but siguro, she expresses it in a diffferent way. We had to adjust sa kung ano ako at kung paano siya. And I'm proud that we were able to build a friendship that meets both of us halfway.
Dear Eunisse,
Hahahaha. Ito yung ganti ko sa surprise gift at letter mo na nakakabaliw.Sayang hindi natin nakainan lahat ng kainan around UST pero someday babalik tayo dun at bibilhin natin silang lahat! Pati yung Simple Line!
Pero seriosuly, thank you for making my college life fun and bearable, for being real and for always being there. Mula sa pagpapaload hanggang sa pag-bili ng sapatos sa over pass, thank you. Hahahaha. Salamat sa pag-totolerate mo sa kabaliawn ko kay Jeric Fortuna kahit minsan too much info na ang na-sheshare ko dahil sa kaka-stalk ko sa kanya. Hahahaha! Salamat sa patience at sa honesty. Mamimiss kita friend. Huhuhuhu. Ayoko naaaaaaa. Hahahahha.
Hindi kita sasabihan ng good luck kasi alam kong kahit walang luck magiging successful ka. You have the character and the ability to reach your dreams. Susuportahan kita sa pagiging president mo ng Kpop fans club at sa addiction mo sa Kdramas. Invite mo din ako sa kasal mo, binyag ng anak mo pati sa libing mo. (De Leon, 2013) Hahahahahaha. Basta we'll stay friends forever, promise!
Love you, friend!
400,000 hugs and kisses din! (De Leon, 2013) Hahahaha
P.S. Nasan na yung powerpoint presentation na 4 years mong pinag-isipan? Excited na ko makita Hahahahah :))
Mamimiss talaga kita. Pati yung moments na nag-iisip tayo ng mga kamuka ng mga tao. Pati yung pag-susum up natin ng mga dapat gawin kapag nasa tapat na tayo ng carpark bago umuwi. Tsaka yung pag-chichismisan natin sa chatbox, yung mga knock knock jokes, yung pamamanhid ng paa natin sa TYK, pag-pilit ko sayo mag-milktea, pag-jebs mo sa dorm namin, sisig moments, pag-CR,horror stories at yung common crush natin. :))))
CONGRATULATIONS SATIN. NA-KAYA NATIN ANG LAHAT. WOOOH!
See you again soon! :*
Yung friend mo na kamukha ng tutor mo,
Jan Lois <3
