Paskuhan 2006 at UST

Dec. 20, 2006 – Wednesday

At 5:40pm, I’m back at UST to join the university-wide Paskuhan celebration. My surroundings were really different from the typical UST I usually see every morning during school days. Christmas spirit can be felt…it’s in the air! Almost all the trees had Christmas lights on it, people around me were excited…some were curious while others were used to this kind of celebration.
And, as for me, I’m together with my bestfriends. The 3 of us wore pink blouse kasi yun ang napag-usapan namin before.
To fully enjoy our first-ever Paskuhan experience, we decided to hear the Thanksgiving mass first which was held at The Grandstand.

Ang daming tao! Almost mapuno yung football field. Yung iba nakaupo sa grass..parang nagpi-picnic, while others were attentively listening to the Holy Mass. After the holy mass…eto na yung surprise… It’s the lightning of the giant Christmas Tree and the Fireworks. Bago pa ito mag-start..nag-lights off muna. Super excited na yung mga tao sa paligid ko…sarap nga ng feeling that time.
Any moment..nagstart na yung Fireworks…very extravagant..ang ganda talaga!
Pati yung giant white Christmas tree…it’s sooo cute!...it’s sooo white… =)

And then meron concert. It was participated by chosen UST students from different colleges. Meron ding performance from well-known bands like Spongecola (yehey!..nandun si Yael..), Urbandub and Dicta License.

Since we’re hungry na.. we don’t need to worry about out food! May free food kasi…it’s like a Christmas gift of the university for the students.
We just have to choose from their sponsors..Kenny Rogers, Jollibee, McDonalds, Wendys, Chowking, and Burger King.
Hmmmmm…sana dun kami sa Kenny Rogers eh kaya lang super haba ng pila to get the food. Eh, we’re hungy na talaga so naghanap nalang kami ng mas shorter line. Okie naman yung chicken sa Jollibee kaya dun nalang…mas mabilis pa..hehe! (.__”__.)

Due to advanced technology.. you can’t go back and try foods from other stalls..sayang!..hehe. Naka-record na kasi sa computer nila na nakakuha na kami ng food. Meron kasing mga student assistants each food stalls na kumukuha ng student’s ID number so that foods are properly and equally distributed to each students..(para fair..!) (.__”__.)

After namin kumain....nandoon lang kami sa may football field. Nakukuwentuhan, tawanan, laging inaasar si Dane, picture taking and naglalaro. Meron kasing dalang puzzle si Medalene..nag-enjoy naman kaming i-solve yung mga next figures na nasa instruction. Enjoy rin kasi may background music pa kami because of the concert.
Medyo sad ako kasi hindi na nakapunta si Joan. Hindi pa naman ako masyadong prepared kaninang morning na yun na ang last time na makikita ko siya for this year. By august ko na ulit siya makikita. Medyo naiiyak nga ako when Dane and Medalene were trying their best to convince Joan through text messaging na pumunta sa UST kahit sandali lang. Kaya lang..hindi talaga pwede eh. Hindi tuloy kami complete - - pero I know meron pa namang next year…and for sure the 4 of us will still be bestfriends…(.__”__.)

At around 9:30pm…may Mom informed me na nasa loob na siya ng UST…kelangan na rin namin umuwi kasi it’s getting late na. Medyo hindi rin kasi safe umuwi pag gabi na..malayo pa naman yung bahay namin from school.
Sinamahan ako nina Dane and Medalene na hanapin yung Mom ko…gusto rin kasi nila ma-meet si Mommy. Habang naglalakad kami sa tapat ng main building. Biglang tumigil si Dane tapos meron siyang binati…I was curious kung sino yun…paglingon ko…si Dylan!
Hah?! Hindi ko siya nakita ah..naku…nde ko siya nabati…pero si Dane nabati niya…nagsmile back pa nga daw eh..

Buti nalang..maganda yung idea na naisip ni Dane.

Dane: Marielle, pa-picture tayo..dala mo yung camera mo diba!
Marielle:Oo nga noh..wait lang hah..nakatago na eh.
Dane: Bilisan mo Marielle..baka umalis na agad.
Medalene: Mariellee...bilisan mo!
Marielle: Oo, eto na..wait lang.
***buti nalang may kausap pa si Dylan..mga group of girls rin... meron pa ngang isa nagbigay ng gift sa kanya..hmmmm… ako rin kaya!..joke!! =)

Dane:
Kuya, pwede ba kaming pa-picture? (aba, Dane..may kuya pa talaga hah?!)
Dylan: Oo naman..sure… sige!
Medalene: Gusto mo ng cookies?! (hmmmm..sweet naman ni Medz)
Dylan: Sige..okie lang..thanks!
Dane: O sige... Marielle ikaw muna hah..after mo ako naman hah.,.
Marielle: Sige..naku..kelangan ko pa atang magpatangkad ah..baka hindi ako makita sa picture eh!..hehe..
Dylan: Naku…sorry hah!.. hehe.. (uuyyy..napatawa ko siya!.)
Dane: 1, 2, 3..
Camera: **click!**








Dane: Okie..o ako naman…
Marielle: Ready.. 1, 2, 3..
Camera: **click!**
Dane: Thanks kuya!
Marielle: thanks Dylan!
Dylan: You’re welcome… okie..cge! (.__”__.)

Haaaay… ang bait niya talaga ano?!.,..meron na tuloy akong remembrance na friends talaga kami..hehe.. =)Sayang wala tuloy kuha si Joan..kanina pa namang umaga kami nagpaplano na magpapicture..!
Well, better luck next time..hehe..

Habang nagpipicture kami..medyo nagkakagulo na yung worlds namin..sa sobrang panic..nahulog ni Medalene yung natitirang cookies na dala niya. Naku..mga 5 pieces pa ata yun.
Nalungkot tuloy si Dane kasi naiwan na nga yung dala niyang Corn Bits sa may field..pati ba naman yung favorite niyang cookies nawala… naubos na rin.
Tawa ako ng tawa sa reaction nila pareho..
Sino ba naman ang hindi ma-eexcite pa nandyan na si Dylan?!..(.__”__.)
Buti nalang..nakita namin siya...ang saya tuloy ng Paskuhan ko..hehe.. =)

Nakita rin ng Mom ko si Dylan eh...hehe..at last nakita na rin niya in person! Lagi ko rin kasi kinukwento sa kanya about kay Dylan..hehe.. =) After nung moment na yun nagpicture-picture pa kami with my friends. Hindi kasi namin nagawa yun kanina..enjoy talaga..the pictures were nice!
Tingnan niyo nalang sa friendster yung mga pics..

At 11:00pm..my Mom and I decided to go home na..gabi na talaga! Si Dane and Medalene, nagstay muna sa UST…dun muna sila hanggang madaling-araw. Siguro hanggang 6:00am sila doon. And then, I think meron pa silang plans na mag shopping sa Divisoria..malapit lang din naman eh. So, adventure talaga!

We arrived home at exactly 12:00mn. Luckily..were safe.

Okie…this was my memorable experience. Sabi ko na nga ba eh..this one will be very different from my highschool parties. It’s filled with fun, excitement and surprises. Plus..I have my bestfriends with me!


How about next year?... what’s in-store for us?...hmmmmm…matagal pa yun. For sure..that one will be better!...Let’s wait and see!

Merry Christmas to everyone!
Enjoy this season with your family.
Let’s not forget the true meaning of Christmas…
It's Jesus Christ who dwells within us!
Have a meaningful Christmas!..
