... current music: Hoobastank - Look Where We Are.
... Kasi technically, hindi pa 100%. And'yan pa kasi sila Jubal, Jaemi, Jeff, at Shalla... 'Tsaka si Jenny pa siguro, malay mo maisip n'ya bigla mag-take. Pero ayun, hindi pa talaga maku-kumpleto ang celebration hanggang pumasa na kayong apat. Hintayin namin kayo mga tsong (oo Jenny, pati ikaw), though alam naman naming matter of time lang talaga 'yun. Kasi ganyan talaga sa Whattabatch, walang iwanan. First of all, congrats sa mga nag-top... Kay Lynne (#10), kasama na rin ang kanyang ever proud and supportive bebe... Kay Lyzet (#8), na pang-FAMAS ang iyak nang i-announce ni Valix na nasa top 10 s'ya... Kay Germee (#7), na dahil alam ko kung ga'no s'ya katalino (at ka-cute) ay inexpect ko na nandu'n kahit s'ya na yata ang pinakatamad mag-aral sa lahat (oo, feeling ko mas masipag pa 'ko sa kanya... imagine.) at lagi n'yang sinasabing napapagod na s'ya sa kaka-cram (which is absolutely true)... Kay Karina (#4), na head honcho ng aming lucky 1985ers carpool trio (with Germee) at meron pang nalalamang drama na "Tsong papatayin ako ng magulang ko 'pag bumagsak ako ng boards!" after ng Auditing Theory... Kay Gillianne (#1!!), na wala lang naman ginawa kundi dalhin lang ang pangalan ng UP at i-absorb lang lahat ng pressure - whether explicitly stated, implicitly stated, at pati na rin 'yung feeling lang n'ya pine-pressure s'ya kahit hindi naman. I believe I speak for the entire batch when I say na 1) antaba ng lalake mo, and 2) we're all lucky, proud, and honored to have you lead us in this endeavor... there's no better person for the job. At s'yempre, congrats sa isa pang topnotcher na ubod ng gwapo, oozing with self-confidence, at medyo chubby... Malamang ni isa sa inyo walang nag-expect na magto-top s'ya, after all, andami-dami pang iba na hamak na mas magaling sa kanya... Pero ganu'n talaga siguro 'pag may tiwala ka sa sarili, hindi mo na kelangan ng tiwala ng iba. Congrats... kay Jameswil "Fred Flintstone" Yadang. Yadang-dabang-doo! (Uy joke lang 'to ha. S'ya 'yung unang random person na pumasok sa utak ko eh.) Next of all, kung merong congrats, meron rin dapat thanks. S'yempre unang-una kay God, na walang sawa na bine-bless ang batch namin dahil walang sawa rin kami nagdadasal sa Kanya... Kahit kelan never namin Siya narinig na umangal na, "Nako, naka-bilog na naman sila... Sana magpa-pass the message lang." Actually, buti na lang, nakakatakot kase 'yun kung mangyari talaga... Next, salamat ng marami sa mga reviewers sa CPAR, lalo na ang Room 4 reviewers na sila Reynaldo "Pichi-Pichi" Ocampo (Auditing Theory / Problems), Atty. Dante "Inspirasyon ng Masa" dela Cruz (Business Law), Dean Hilario "Everybody Sucks; AIM Rulez" Tan (Management Advisory Services), Atty. Jack "Huwag Mo Nang Itanong" de Vera (Taxation), Pedro "The Non-Depreciable Love Machine" Guerrero (Practical Accounting Problems II), and the legend himself, Conrado "Ngiting Kabayo" Valix (Theory of Accounts / Practical Accounting Problems I). Salamat rin sa iba pa naming favorite reviewers na sila Chris "Joint Venture" German (P2), Tom "Crush ng Bayan" Siy (TOA / P1), Chris "Joint Venture" German (P2), Atty. Tristan "Johnson's Yata Yan" Lopez (Tax), Chris "Joint Venture" German (P2), Emong "Tito RAOMO" de Leon (P2), at si Chris "Joint Venture" German (P2). Sa aming mga dear reviewees, Wala talagang tatalo sa Mother CPAR. Chris "Joint Venture" German (P2). Of course, hindi namin p'wedeng kalimutan ang mga professor namin sa UP who laid the groundwork for our success. Kahit ga'no kagaling ang mga reviewers ng CPAR, hindi pa rin kami makakapasa kung mahina ang foundation namin... Aanhin mo pa ang damo kung patay na ang kabayo, 'diba? Kaya we extend our gratitude towards the men and women who made it all possible... For Business Law and Taxation... Atty. Wilwayco, for seven days of ObliCon... Atty. Encarnacion, for a total of two smiles for the whole semester... Atty. Orfanel, for the early-morning and evening news reports (both in class and on GMA-7) and constantly keeping us guessing whether you're in a good mood or not... Atty. Santos, for teaching the other class (hindi ko kilala eh)... Atty. Sagana, for showing us what utter mastery of Law means... and based on three days' attendance, I'd say you're the man... Atty. Calapatia, for the 1960s trivia and showing us the lighter, easier side of Tax... and also for helping me hone my impersonation skills, even without you knowing it... For Auditing/Accounting... Ma'am Debbie Chua, for delaying our agony 'til 99.2... Sir Jo Flo, for inspiring and motivating Sir Peds... Ma'am Rico, for not walking out on our class (kase hindi namin s'ya prof)... Ma'am Cleo, for the Gordon's Gin note cards, the unbelievably fun Auditing classes, and the test bank questions... Ma'am Trina, for exclusively providing our batch with three of the best taught classes in BA and for effortlessly earning our respect and admiration with that unique brand of tough love... Sir Dave, for being the unofficial "daddy" of our batch and teaching us boys how to reconcile being a wacky, warm-blooded male while still being a respectable all-around nice guy... Sir Peds, for knowing the capabilities of our batch more than we ourselves do, and pushing us hard until we recognize that you're right about us... and for being the only one who can get away with (and be loved for) legitimately evil and cruel acts... Ma'am Dani, for being the unofficial "mommy" of our batch (bagay talaga sila) and being patient with us even though we're uncontrollable sometimes... for cheering with us during the good times, crying with us during the bad, and always caring genuinely for each and every one of us... And for Management Services... Everybody else, I guess. Sorry for dragging on and on, but I still have one last thing to say to my batch... We have dealt with a number of issues during our five years in the college, both internal and external... From not warming up enough to a majority of our BA batchmates, to being blasted and backstabbed by others, to being viewed as a batch that lacks unity, intellect, initiative and leadership, to the great X & Y divide, and even to the lack of communication during review... It seems that with our pre-board track record, our batch is a strong candidate for worst BAA batch ever. But those very issues that we have dealt with are the same issues that we have survived (or did not really mind at all). Sabi nga sa commercial ni Dwyane Wade, "Fall down seven times. Get up eight." (Although gagana lang 'yun 'pag ang starting position mo ay naka-fall down. Sige, try n'yo pa.) Resilience. Toughness. Surviving adversity. Conquering challenges. Ganu'n naman talaga batch natin eh, parang bidang Pinoy... Nagpapabugbog muna sa umpisa, tapos biglang i-wa-100% passing rate 'yung boards. Kahit antagal ng kwento, happy ending pa rin. And so to my beloved Whattabatch, isang malaking congrats sa ating lahat. Gusto ko sana tayong tawaging "best batch," kaso parang out of character, masyado tayong humble for that. I hope this experience brings us even closer as a batch. Tama na lahat ng kaguluhan. Happy-happy na lang sana tayo lagi. Sana walang kalimutan... Let's all keep in touch pa rin. At kung magkita-kita tayo sa work, magyayaan tayo kumain o sabay umuwi. O 'diba, sweet. Nag-survey nga pala ng mga pumasa sa board, tinanong kung ano 'yung biggest reason kung bakit ka pumasa... Sagot ko, "Kasi taga-Whattabatch ako." That's 1 out of 52. Let's go for 100% one more time. GO WHATTABATCH! ======= I still remember the time When this all felt like a dream So completely out of reach Frustrating We kept our nose to the grind Make the days turn into weeks Hoping time will heal the pain Of waiting Now it seems so long ago... Just look back on how far we've come We've made it somehow, look where we are now All we've done, our battles won We've made it somehow, look where we are now And the best is yet to come 'Cause our story is not yet done ======= | |

This is the truth
The only time you'll hear it I write it down because it seems so hard to say it These are my thoughts written down on paper It's my only savior From not saying what I want to say These are the thoughts that are on mind Moments that haven't yet been defined And I don't know if you could ever understand These are the things I can't say when we're alone. |
