In earlier year, I travel Dasmariñas Cavite to Sta. Mesa every day. It’s too tiring due to heavy traffic, difficulty to commute & bad weather that sometimes cancelled classes. In 2003, I started to live in a boarding house in Teresa (near PUP Main building) – this is a memorable house since I met lot friends and experience happiest and loneliness part of my college day. I love Maggie (also my classmate) and Awuth above all.
In 2005, we (I and Maggie) transfer to a boarding house near CEA building. Transfer again in a 1- bedroom unit with her siblings near Teresa. And transfer again in a bigger 1 – bedroom unit near Legarda.
Our common joke is, we were live-in partner… living together since 2003. We were separated in 2007 while I’m taking up my thesis – due to personal reason. Anyway, we still have connections and I’m Bianca’s Godmother - Maggie's daughter.
In college life, we may experience sticking with a one person – our Best friend, but in the long run… and in reality, changes are always present. You’ll be left alone or you will have other friends. They come and go… that’s my conclusion. Its heart breaking but that’s truth.
You have to be flexible to cope up with your environment. And sometimes having many friends rather that single best friend is much better.
Thank you for coming into my life and sharing wonderful memories with you guys!

As an architecture student, we commonly have insomnia. In brighter side this helps us finish our drawings and reports. So my usual routine is: Boarding house – CEA bulding (location of architecture course classrooms) – Main building (location of minor subject’s classrooms) – Boarding house.
Luckily, every Tuesday I and Jhe meet up in SM Manila to watch movie and dinner together. Sometimes, I also attend music gig with Maggie or Awuth. Most of the times, we hang-out in a computer shop and play online games (with Jhe). Definitely that’s my college life.
