5th of September

There's a huge dorm in UPLB called 5th of September. Way back in college, we used to go there for the party the owners throw on that day. I guess to celebrate it's founding day? I have no idea. But I sure miss those parties! And late night 'group studies' in our brods' apartments haha. Good old college days :) Now I remember Bujo. He's a classmate in one of my minor subjects, who lived in 5th of September. Where is he now, I wonder.

These past few days, I've been reconnected with my old friends. This is one thing I'm soo gonna keep - contact with old buddies! Ramir, my friend since grade 1 has been soo helpful in giving pieces of advise for Mama's health. And coincidentally, his Aunt was Mama's doctor when she was giving birth to me. Haha! Small world, I should say. Rams, what will I do without you? :) In this picture, I am with Rey and Ramir, both are classmates from grade school and we still manage to get-together and keep in touch. :)

Then, I've recently joined a medical mission for the Dumagats in Sierra Madre, which reunited me to some of my Pisay batchmates (Mic, Brymac, Markku) and introduced me to U.P. Org members. I had a great experience there with all the doctors we were with, the children we taught, the patients we treated, the volunteers I got to know better and the rest of the pack. Looking forward in our next med mission come November. These are events that are eye-openners and made my personal problems seem so shallow. This taught me to count my blessings.

My UPLB org, Society of Math Majors, also came up with dinners and gimmiks and reunions recently. I'm sooo happy to be a part of a huge event for the org - our 20th anniv! Now, this is gonna be awesome! I can totally dig these guys, geeky yet cool and quirky, just like me! :)

September is the month of my Mama's birthday and this is why I am happy with the days to come. We've been visited by her sister (my Aunt) at home and indeed, that was a dream come true for both Mama and me. Reunions and bonding times are priceless events that I intend to do more often. Now I've proven that I really am a people-person and that I value my relationships with others a lot.

5th of September. I heard it's the start of the October Fest today. Another fun-filled Friday ahead of me, I should say.

Planning to post my thoughts here...as frequent as I can. :)
