Yesterday was the welcome assembly for freshies at school. I was referred to as a “freshie” again, one more time, for the second time around. Not so fresh, eh.
But the Welcome Assembly yesterday was really welcoming nonetheless. But before I go to that part lemme tell you first about a creepy cat that I encountered yesterday inside the CR of my College. I was about to do my thing in one of the cubicles when lo and behold! A cat! I don’t have a phobia of feline creatures in general but this cat… i’m telling you man… with the way it opened its mouth… parang sinasabi nyang… “I got fangs here you see… and I haven’t had my breakfast yet.” Yikes! (effect ito ng panood ng peliculang “stray cats” nung ako ay bata pa) Syempre I am bigger than the creepy cat but when I was about to enter one of the cubicles… it moved from its place, walked to the cubicle’s entrance, an then stood on my way. Then it “meowed” in a “fierce” way for a cat. Mas mukha pa ngang tamed ang tigerette ko na si bibi eh. Anyway I ended up fixing my hair in front of the mirror pero meron pa ring halong kaba… so binilisan ko na…. hmm… hindi kaya naamoy ng ilong niyang pawang may super powers ang sausage mcmuffin na nasa bag ko?
So on with the assembly. First taym ko kayang umattend ng ganun so wala lang… hehehe it really made me feel like a freshman. at syempre ang mga kasama ko dun sa loob are freshmen too. We were grouped according to our colleges and because, sapagkat, ngunit, datapwa’t… musika ang kolehiyo namin… kasama namin yung UP Symphonic band sa aming hanay (sila rin ay mula sa aming kolehiyo kaya ganun). Kaya ayun nung tumugtog sila… mejo masakit sa eardrums dahil fullforce sila… atchaka katabi ko lang ang mga tuba, trumpets, at perc section. Pero okay yung ganung set-up kasi nung inintroduce young college namin with the freshies parang production number. hehehe syempre may accompaniment at nung pinakilala na kami nung dean… eh kinanta pa niya… opera style. Sa’n ka pa?
After the assembly we were asked to go straight to our college which was very near kasi magkatabi lang naman ung theater at Abelardo hall… the student council of our college was really sweet… they prepared stapegi for us, and an egg sandwich! so yun na yung lunch namen… then we were serenaded (ewan ko if that’s the appropriate term) by the umm… UP Brigada (i’m not sure with the name… but it does have a brigada on it). It’s a group of perc players… at dahil ako ay hindi familiar sa perc instruments… yung cowbell lang yung alam ko. Hehehe… napakagaling nila. You can really feel the music kahit sumakit din ulit yung tenga ko. The performance was really good.
Iniisip ko nga eh… forever ba akong maiistarstruck sa mga ‘tu? Galeng eh… and well yeah… according to the dean we have a tough act to follow. That made me really anxious about my skill… kakabakaba.
at… malapit ko nang iwan ang opisina… sniff! sniff!
