"My College Life"

When I was cleaning in our house, I found my long lost photo album during my college graduation in Philippines and I amazed how young and crazy I was back then. It makes me remember those happy and sad memories that I had in college. Well let me tell you my happy moments when I was in college. During my first year I remember that my board mates and me had our concert. I was the guitarist, Madeline was the drummer and Elvie was the pianist, Flordilyn was the vocalist and of course Inday was our audience (our landlady's daughter).I had my broom as my guitar, Madeline had her garbage can as her drum and a little piano toy for Elvie which she borrowed from our 9 years old friend and at the same time our one and only audience of the year! Our landlady worked 9:00 am to 8:30 pm, and she had many-many rules like a mother. Who told us what to do and what not to do and what time should we go to bed., and more.. Anyway, she didn't know about our career and what did her daughter up to after her class. We did hide it really good from our landlady, until one time that we enjoyed so much our concert and forgot the time. So when we heard the familiar sounds of a motorbike we realized that it's her! We’re so nervous hiding our crops and one of my board mate Flordilyn Antawag peed her pants, Madeline and me banged each other and we got the same browse from that. So on the next day we told our landlady about it and she just laughed us and told us that she got no problem with it. Starting on that day every time we mention about it, will make us laugh to death and fill our hearts with joy!

My second year in college, I remember that I enjoyed so much joining school activities especially if it's about acting. My classmates discovered me as a best actress of the year on that time. Not for being boastful but I did pretty good acting before.

My third year in college, one thing that I will never forget is my first time to drink alcohol. I had my friend named Evangeline and she is an innocent type and she is very kind to me. And one time she got a problem about her family and she wanted to be drunk with me and I had also family problem on that time so I said yes to her. We bought 1 long neck of Tanduay Rum (this is very strong rum in Philippines). Well. it was so awful at first and until we used the taste of it and started to served ourselves one full of glass every 5 minutes which is some of the regular drinker just drink 1/4 of a glass each in a few minutes. So we finished our drink really fast and thought that were good because that drinks didn't make us drunk like what it did to other people. Anyway, we decided to watch show in our indoor gym because the second year level had their P.E night also on that time. Then when were already there I felt my face was getting bigger and thick. And it was numbed, then the performer on the stage seems so many and I was not able to focus their faces anymore. It was like an elastic faces and keeped changing their shapes. And when I watched the people who were near to me; they had 4 eyes,2 noses,2 mouths. Then I heard my voice just find but my roommate's said that my voice was so loud. Then I realized that I was drunk and it made me worry to my friend Evangeline because her boarding house was so far while mine was just like 10 meters away from that gym.I worried that what if she will get raped while she's on her way. And then I saw one of her board mate was there, so it gave me relief and not worried about her anymore. Then the program was end and then when I was on my way to my dormitory, I did find the road liked zigzag shaped. Well finally I reached in my room and I didn't know how I did it,but the important was I'm already safe on that time. And I heard some of my roommates fussed about me being drunk but I was so sick to mind it because I keep pouring out all the foods and drinks from my stomach, and I poured half gallon in our garbage can on that time. Then the next day I had a headache and I felt so bad...and made me promise not to drink anymore.


Well I didn't break my promise until I reached fourth Year College. I’m good like that (lol). It was my last year in that school and I wanted to experienced some adventurous thing that I can bring after my college days...so I attended every party and disco inside and outside in my campus! The sweet girl turned into wild monsters (lol). Well I had my wild and party girl friends this year and we did our best to leave some naughty things that they can't forget about us. There were days that we went back to our dormitory so late. We had our 9:00pm-4:00 curfew hours in our dormitory and that's why we went back in our room by 12 midnight, we are that hard headed. And one night we celebrated Irene's birthday. Some of my friends brought their boyfriends but not Irene and me. I had my only boyfriend and he was in other country. And Irene, the celebrant on that night, her boyfriend forgot her birthday so that's why she was so upset and get so drunk. I mean were all drunk on that time but it was Irene drunk so much among the ladies. She already screamed and yelled to the people who passed there to try her body then laughed like a desperate woman. There were many crazy things happened on that time and I was just so thankful that despite of what we did,God still protected us from danger. Thank you Lord...


These are some moments in my life that I can't forget and there are more. but it's time to stop and do my chores before my husband will beat me senseless..hahaha! joke.


This is my life in college and I will never forget it for the rest of my life.
