reunions, gimmicks and mixed emotions
daming nangyari this weekend...
friday:
it was the Colayco farewell celebration. i felt like it was some kind of a eulogy to someone so dear, so special in one's life. during the "eulogical testimonials", i got a quote that best values what Colayco is to me:
The Colayco is a tree, a tree that we always go back to, a tree we are rooted along with"
the festivities also was an oppotunity to see old familiar faces:
Leeyaj, Xtf, Ella, PsyColayco, Tj, Cathy, Raffy, Ekay, Donna, Joel, Nel, Nicole, Andrea... etc...
Colayco for me is more than just a building and a basement. it is a part of my life, a part of my growth as a person, and then some...
You may no longer be there in the physical realm, but you will be in my spiritual and emotional realm. at kahit ano pa ang maging kahihinatnan ng Ateneo Student Learning Center (maging ano pa man ang pangalan nito), it will always and forever will be the Colayco of yore...
after the Colayco ceremonies, Cla, A.Kamille, Ava, Guiller, K.Mackie, Rollz, Adnan, and i moved to Something Fishy in the Eastwood Citywalk. The boyz, excluding Rollz, took a cab, habang nag-kotse ang natitira, at taya ko ang taxi. once we got there, we were joined by karen and mike, at gorged ourselves on the delicious morsels served there, with the expenses shouldered by ava (salamat dun...). habang umalis sila papunta kina pitt sa marikina, i stayed to visit my old office of Epixtar. managed to see old chums and good friends. went home and got to sleep medyo disappointed, dahil sa isang bagay na medyo malalim ang sakit sa damdamin. (something i would rather keep to myself for the moment.)
saturday:
originally, punta ako sa epixtar to visit some people, pero something from someone put a dampener on that one. i left the house after lunch, to visit the DSWS reunion bago man lang gibain ang beloved Colayco.
attendance included the following: Ate Pats, Phillip, Dax, Shella, Graciagirl, Cecille, Wande, Chris, Pia, Cary, Precy, Franssen, Sarah, Barcy, Teter, Nina, Malen, Diane... and so on...
nag-enjoy naman ako, being able to see some people that i have not been able to contact since they left. afterwards, the "old school" watched the "Phantom of the Opera" sa Megamall, while the "new school" gazed at the stars...
emotions
i noticed that ever-present and ominous sense of detachment kanina. parang nararamdaman ko yung sense of isolation. i feel the sense of loneliness at pag-iisa. naiintindihan ko naman, at people tend to be very much have that "look and disposition" on me. ganoon na yun before, and little if nothing has changed. at least, any sort of emotional frustration was tempered a bit. parang ganoon din noong friday, pero, i wasn't really keyed in on them. my thoughts then were pointed onto my old office.
when will this ever end? kakabit ko na ata eh... habambuhay bang pasanin ko ba ito?
