PaSkong PeyuPs
I had such a freakin’ jolly pre-Christmas celebration thingy with my floor mates yesterday. Iba talaga sa Peyups. You get to enjoy things you do not normally do before, experience new stuffs you never thought you would do so, at syempre, meet a bunch of cool peeps who share the jolly happenings with you. Iba ‘yung feeling. Astig!
SEM ENDER PARTY:
Last, last night, we had this year-ender party thing in the dorm. I was all pumped up to party during the early part of the night, but my energy was dampened due to the FREAKIN’ LOSER na sounds. As in freakin’ loser talaga. Puro techno kasi yung music, pirated yung CD, and their songs were repetitive. Bwiset. Kung may baril lang talaga ako, patay na yung DJ that night. Haha.
Fast forward to the next day, I woke up at about 11 am. I slept at about 3 in the morning na kasi the previous night because I had some bonding sessions with Kral when I got back from the party-wanna-be event. Hay naku. Mas nasiyahan pa akong mang-backstab at makipag-kwentuhan tungkol sa mga high school highlights and weird dreams with Kral kesa sumayaw sa loser na party. Pramis .
OBLE RUN AND BOOTH HOPPING:
So ayun na nga. At about 12, I watched the Oblation Run. Sa totoo lang, hindi naman enjoy manood e. Nakaka-disappoint pa nga. As if one will find joy in seeing naked men running around a building with masks on and some having sagging, big pot bellies. Hay naku. Wala talagang nakakaaliw. I don’t see the point why people storm our university sa event na yun. O well. It’s not every day nga naman that you see those stuff. Sige na nga. Publicity din yun for UP. Hehe.
After that, naghasik naman kami ng lagim sa mga booths sa Acad Oval. Super saya. We tried the scientific stuffs sa NISMED booth (I particularly enjoyed the freak show # 3, ang gyroscope). Nagkape rin kami sa UP Visitors’ chorva booth, and nag-shoot ng MTV ng hit song na “Tanghaling Tapat.” We also stopped over the Fine Arts booth, tapos nag-ethnic dance din sa isa pa. Wala lang. Tamang trip lang. Just enjoying our freshmen days.
LANTERN PARADE AT PRANINGAN SA SUNKEN:
That evening naman, I and my astig floor mates watched the lantern parade. Sobrang aliw talaga yung iba’t ibang konsepto ng mga parol. May mga dragon, “fish ka ba?”, Ashti Perena, masskara festival at meron ding “I’m a little teapot”! San ka pa? Sa UP lang may ganyan. Fave ko yung dragon na bumubuga ng bilog na usok. Hi-tech at astig. Award talaga! Pero mas award yung fireworks display. As in makatulo-laway ito. Pang-mayaman talaga.
Nang maubusan na kami ng lakas, settle kami sa Sunken at kumain ng Bubba Shawarma (haha). Aliw kasi nun ko lang naranasang umusok ung ilong ko. Wahaha. Naramdaman ko talaga ung epekto ng sibuyas sa ilong. Tapos nag-Dr. Quack Quack kami dahil sa ibang level na boredom. Napraning ako sa pagsosolve nung Quack Quack puzzle nung ako yung taya. Kinabahan nga ako kasi may isang instance na parang nagsnap yung buto ni Nikki, tapos pinatay ko na si Clark sa pagpapaikot-ikot sa kanya. Nung masolve ko naman at nagkahabulan na, binawal kami nung mga tanod. Baka raw kasi may mga krimen nang nagaganap at nagtatakbuhan na e hindi nila mahalata. KJ. Ang loser ko that time. Pero naging maayos naman nung magdugtungang kwento kami. Saya. Pero mas enjoy yung kami na lang nila Mother at Kral. Personalan kasi at name dropping. Haha. Hindi ko nga kinakaya yung ibang bahagi ng istorya e.
So ayun na nga. Days before Christmas pa lang, smash hit na ang Pasko ko. Thanks to my ever astig na Unibersidad at syempre sa aking mga floor mates. Naku. I never expected na masaya itong Christmas na ito. I was all absorbed in the memories of my high school days na I expected this season to be boring. Pero ganun na nga ang naganap. New faces, new environment, new happenings—at happy talaga yung mga happenings na yun. Haay. You should really expect the unexpected.
