* I miss hanging out with FRAT...Mocking people as if we're the perfect beings in the entire University. I miss how we sit by the window, fooling around as if no one's watching. I miss buying and eating Mr. Donut's "twest" (accdg to Viwi).. I miss eating with you guys at the co-op and smelling like it..I miss hanging
around Geronimo street with FRAT, katakers and talulot..
* I miss how we catch our breath running to our next class coming from the 4th floor...or how we run from main building to the botanical garden carrying our mouse/rat cages. I miss spending time with the books in the main library...sleeping there like its my own bedroom..I miss tearing out a page of a book in the Filipiniana section ( can't remember who I did that with) I miss sneaking in to the old books section of the main lib with Jan Dacumos ang Hunice Dipasupil, lights off cellphone lights on, looking for a book about kalamansi and scaring our asses off... I miss walking along the streets of Divisoria in our uniform carrying a sack full of kalamansi leaves like we're garbage collectors..I miss accessing friendster in the computer lab using a proxy...
* I miss my V-ball varsity mates and our suicide training with coach at the gym near Fabella.. I miss walking along the hall, carrying my gym bag, all dressed up in my volleyball uniform while people are in class and I, along with my teammates were excused for the day because of a game. I miss hearing " Bring home the liempo Kate" from C-pharm and FRAT with every digs and spikes that I did. I miss the undying support of Ms. David and Mrs. Sadang that even if we lose a game, they still treat us for lunch.
* I miss waiting in line at the Dean's office for my exam permit...
* I miss paskuhan and the humongous christmas tree sitting in the grandstand..
* I miss walking in my lab gown and goggles looking like a complete lab geek. I miss smelling like rotten egg, tarnished metal, vinegar, tutti frutti gum, banana, alcohol...I miss breaking most of our lab equipments and acting surprised at the end of each sem because we had to pay for those that weren't covered by the lab fee..I miss that cute chinito BS Chem student assistant (Kuya Tristan) at the 4th floor :)...I miss mixing substandard drugs, designing and creating medicine boxes and bottles, writing drug literatures, then getting an auto zero (sometimes negative score) because I screwed up somewhere in the process.. I miss crying out loud during the cervical dislocation exercise in pcol lab and fuck, I remember, I did that to a big ass rat instead of a cute mice! I miss those sleepless nights while doing the thesis with Shar, Zsa, Edz, Cel..all the caffeine and nicotine that I took in just to stay awake the night before the defense..how Ms. Lao went super oc-oc but certainly paid off after the defense...the "kamot ulo" moments everytime Shar utters a scientific word or explanation on the simplest things.
Ex: 1.) "ay....naooxidize na yung glasses ko (instead of "nangangalawang")...
2.) I was opening a can of tuna using a knife since I can't find a can opener anywhere in the apartment and she said "You have to use a lever in opening that Kate" (instead of "can opener")...
3.) "You just have to emulsify the mayo and the oil to make the salad dressing" ( instead of "haluin mo na lang")...
4.) And my most favorite "Ms Sharlene Lao" moments..."I dont like to eat the fats in the liempo kasi masyadong malaki ang fat cells therefore na eentrap yung toxins that the pigs ingest sa fat cells nila so if you eat that your like eating the toxins that those pigs have ingested." (walang matinong translation sa statement na ito..nagsabaw lang ang utak namin!)
side note: Ms Sharlene Lao graduated Magna Cum Laude in our batch and Valedictorian in Med School...she placed 1st in our Pharmacy Board Examination. And yes, she's my groupmate in thesis...no wonder I passed thesis!
* I miss pharma week..the boring parades..the purple balloons...the awesome activities...the I-won't-be-meeting-you-class announcement of our prof during pharma week.
* I miss how we look outside the window during a heavy downpour of rain..praying that our prof would send us home early before UST turns into an Ocean. I miss how I shout from the gate of our dorm asking the security guard "Mmmmmaaaaaannnnnooooonnnnnggggg may pasok po ba?!!!".
* I miss pharmacology, phar chem, quali, pharmacog, juris and all other pharm subjects...I miss all my professors in pharm... I miss our lit english prof in 4th year :D whom we never fail to trip everyday..I miss Rizal because of our epic field trip and that damn "Mi Ultimo Adios" that we memorized, if you were able to memorize the entire poem in spanish, you'll be exempted for the finals..I miss singing "eres tu" with our Spanish prof, those friggin' spanish conjugations that I only study for the exam and if you'd ask me now, I know nothing about it..I miss "Mr. Tom Cruise", our psych prof and he's epic rapelling stories..I miss "father Damaso" in theology and how he punished us who didn't come in for class that day to write 5 pages of "I will not absent myself anymore" back to back in a yellow legal pad..I miss how we push an imaginary eject button that we drew on our arm rest everytime "Mr. Botulus" extends his class a few minutes past lunch..
* I miss all the laughter, sorrow, pain, and victory that we have shared for 4 years in pharm. I miss all the silly yet significant things and moments that we did...Dang I miss everything and anything about UST!
HAPPY 400th year Pontificia et Regalis Universitas Sancti Thomae ...Thank you for cradling me in your arms for 4 solid years..
VIVA SANTO TOMAS!
