journal of a struggling vet student

three years ago, my blocmates and i decided to finally quit being barbarians and join an organization. of course, it wont be a fraternity/sorority. that would be unfair to the homosexual population of the block (rodge and I :P). so we decided to choose among the academic organization of vetmed and jumped from one orientation to another. then we stumbled along an noisy organization whose orientation consisted of candles inside brown paper envelopes.

from afar, the sight was very appealing. at least in me, i felt a suddenly feeling to rush and go there. but since we did not want to appear over-eager, we acted blase. then they introduced themselves. it was love at first sight i have to say. i felt that the members were the very ones im looking for. although we had to leave early for another orientation, we came back to days after and intimated our desire to join the organization.

i swear. the whole on-boarding process was one helluvan experience! there was a time when i had to endure being mocked ang played at by members younger than myself (prexy) and be bullied the those older (yana and everyone else).  at first i really did not understand what the whole thing was for. but later on when had gotten in, i realized that the process was meant to take us out of our shells and learn the personality of the members--which i always go back analyzing whenever i try to understand how they go about things. but of course, the majority were kind. during the process, there were those who always reminded us that things are not really what they seem and that we'll understand someday. and yes, only now do i realize what they mean.

later on, the 10 of us- myself, absy, juls, rodge, aub, divine, reina, she, renz, by, mil- went through the most fun finals night ever (of course, twas our night). i was damn scared at first the freaking alumni were present and the people seem to go harsher by a notch! then after like 3 hours, we cried as they welcome the newbies to their family-my family. thinking about now, i cant help feeling nostalgic. she, by and mil have gone to agri already, divine has gone to nutri, rodge has gone back to samar,  renz has left the college. and yet...

haay. by the way, we were batch H20. i know twas weird. we had previously settled for another name and we decided to change it in the last minute. why H20? (do you still remember people?) because water molecules are bonded together through the H-bond. And the H-bond is the storngest of the three chemical bonds. Of course not to say that its molecules cannot separated. (and boy, we were able to rak that one into account weren't we <wink>?)

meet the batch h20:

absy: the intsik whom we really fought hard to share herself to the org. (which we succeeded in didnt we juls?)

juls: the  batch leader who got so pissed to the molecule who went away (wahahahahaha!, the silent hearththrob)

rodge: the prima donna who could do good if he wants to

aub: the petite lady who had the ___ of the ___ (fill in the blanks)

divine: the nutri-licious gal (that's a compliment)

reina: the silent heartthrob, the greatest teaser to walk on the surface of elbi

she: the darling, always with a ready smile

byrone: the post-Renaissance Renaissance man. or at least that's what he thought

mil- the guy we all secretly lust over (mwahahahaha)

renz- haay. i wished she stayed longer. the artist. makes uber cool graphics

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BATCH H20!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
