When Sadness Strikes

I am in a foreign land. And my happy-level just went low today. And for that, allow me to speak in my native tongue.

Hindi naman kasi ito Elbi. Na kung na-homesick ka na, mag-aabang ka lang ng bus na pa-Cubao sa may Olivares. Na kung atat na atat ka nang umuwi, pwede mong iharang ang sarili mo sa bus para lang huminto ito, aura mismo.

Hindi ito Elbi. Na kung bored ka na, lalakad ka lang sa Grove, ma-eentertain ka na ng buong LB community. Na kung nababaliw ka na, pwede mong kahulan ang asong dumadaan sa harap mo. Na kung gusto mong mag-emote, pupunta ka lang sa field, Carabao Park, o sa likod ng Lib.

Hindi naman kasi ito Elbi. Na kung gusto mo ng makaka-mingle, tatambay ka lang sa Hum steps. Na kung nangungulila ka sa company ng pamilya, may berks na dadamay sa iyo. Na kung wala kang makausap, uupo ka lang sa L-bench, makakahanap ka rin ng ka-chika.

Hindi ito Elbi. Na kung nararamdaman mo ang emptiness ng dorm mo, pwede kang mag-jeep papuntang F.O. at mangatok ng dorm sa Chino’s. Na kapag sad ka, stressed, o nag-p-PMS lang, pwede kang mang-crash ng ibang dorm at saka mag-moment.

Hindi nga kasi ito Elbi.

I agree! I graduated 11 yrs ago pero parang ganun pa rin :)

that’s right!!!

i first entered elbi 2002 and i promised then not to join any organization..

(but the hell i was proven wrong!)

the end of the year,

i ended having 4 organizations , 1 sorority and 1 acad honor society!

but that does not sum all my life in elbi..

when i was in MEN’s dorm on the my early years,
i met a lot of people,..

before it was PINK Hall…
lately it was already a GRAY HALL..

HUH>>>

i moved outside the campus..
and experienced no BROWN_OUTS (as we called)

orgmates were in ILAGS to let the moments passed

those hard days
no sleep nights
cramming passing of reports

and simultaneous examinations
which will be done in just one day…

hayyy..

it’s all
different now..

i am working
you are working…

and sooner students will work too…

it’s not the same before..

you’ll barely experience
the times you wanted to recall.

besides, you won’t all go to one company perse..

the things we are really different..

all you can utter sometimes is..

(i wish we ALL can go back with friends in LB)

(deep sigh!!!)

This is so true… you should have heard my sighs when i read the article above…

LB life equates to real life…
this is the best place i have never been! I know, i know… its an understatement…because LB experience is— Superlative! B

Everytime I’m in my schmaltzy-mood, it reverts me back to “LB-eing”. Nothing beats it.

And if I have to live my life over again, I’d start it on the day I first met LB.

hayyyy…

I’m not from UP LOS BAÑOS..pero kung bakit

naman kc from the first time na nakita ko yon,

parang gusto kong ibalik ang panahon at mag-

study ulit..but life must go on. dont live with

regret.

yeah, truly na nakakamiss ang elbi!

ung tipong babalik-balikan mo talaga…

my times in the campus were the best ever!

I’m looking forward to be in elbi again next summer:)
