#ThrowbackThursday #FlashbackFriday #SentiSaturday, etc.

Due to lack of workload at the office, last Thursday, I accidentally backtracked our class group, Eager Learners 2008-2012. I was able to see everything that was posted in the group and everything nice and not-so-nice. Memories came rushing to my head and undeniably, I missed them all. :D

There were some funny posts and comments from threads in the group. As far as I remember, some pictures were posted way back in 2010 and 2011. I am glad that they were not posted in my timeline. I might commit suicide. Hahaha!

When I was still in college, I was always assigned in the technical side of all programs I've been with. From a class presentation, to a stage play, even to a concert and doing remixes and making playlists for all these, I also do audio - visual presentations for it, which I miss doing. :(

Anyway, before we graduated from school, I decided to do some sort of appreciation audio-visual presentation for the class. It was so hard to find those photos on Friendster (Sorry, so high school) and from Facebook albums since they were ages ago. :D

This is the first part. 

I used some songs released on the years indicated. For first year, the song is Booty Music by Deep Side. For Second Year, Jay Sean's Do You Remember?. For me, this part is harder than the second part. Who wants to see their photos while on their awkward life stages? Even I, I don't want to view them. I searched Friendster to look for them and luckily, my classmates did not delete anything from their albums.

And the second part :D

Songs used were Club Can't Handle Me by Flo Rida, from Step Up 3D and Remember Me This Way by Jordan Hill, for third and fourth years, respectively. All photos were found from Facebook, same with my classmates' solo pictures. Hahaha. Sorry for stealing them.

I used Semisonic's Closing Time as the class' ending song. You might have the idea that majority shares a common interest and that is DRINKING. :D

For four years in college, I made a lot of AVPs for them that I don't post in Facebook, that's why this one's special. Also, I made a separate one (from the same year) for our "Kapatids Sa Labas", ABE 4-2D. They were, are our closest section ever. I mean, in the whole wide world. Hahaha! Whenever we recall, how things changed, we just laugh and comment because reasons were so childish. :D

Songs used were Jordin Sparks' One Step At A Time and Daughtry's September.

So there you are, enjoying watching how we blossomed as handsome men and beautiful ladies now, from awkward and less confident people from college. Memories, memories :)

Love,

Sam ^_^

Mr. and Mrs. Melvin and Karissa Tiania wedding (Eager Learners' Weekend at Tagaytay)

This is my super late post about my most recent weekend (and so far, happiest weekend of my year). I got to see my kapatids from TriDee because we all (Well, not everyone was there) attended to our second bunso's wedding, Andrea Karissa's wedding. For those who don't know Andrea, she was my college classmate and co-dancer way back in college. She was never the hippie or the popular one but she's the girl whom I always laugh at when she says a joke. I always knew it was a serious line but it was not.

When she announced her wedding last May 17, I was with my other friends and I almost shouted inside a videoke hub because of sudden shock and surprise. Andeng's (her "naimbentong" nickname. Everyone in TriDee has that thing) one of our youngest members and who would have thought that she will be leaving single life at the age of 20? Hahaha. No one. 

When she announced her wedding on the said date, everyone was in great shock but we were all excited to see her walking down the aisle. So we planned, met and traveled to go to Tagaytay because the venue was there. We were divided into three groups. The #TeamExcited #TeamKalma and #TeamLateSlashLigaw Hahahaha! I just made those group names to classify the class.

So #TeamExcited were composed of the most "time conscious" members of the gang namely Chareez, Desiree, Desiree's boyfie, Karl, Marlon, Jobelle, Jessica, Rhona, Joy, Aljean, Elbert, Andrea's best friend, Joana and I. We met at Farmer's Market at 7 am. Original plan was to meet at 6 am but as expected by Earth, all of us were late. Hahaha! We walked on the other side of EDSA then rode a bus to Mendez-Crossing, which is already in Tagaytay's vicinity. It took us almost 3 hours on the bus. I know an easier way to get there but ayoko magmagaling. Hahaha! We laughed and slept for a few minutes until we reached the beautiful heaven of Tagaytay. It was soooo beautiful I could die at that very moment.

Everyone decided to eat somewhere when we alighted from the bus. We don't have the energy to face the bride with not so good tummies so we decided to eat at Mang Inasal. And we're so happy because "Ang Ate Ng Bayan", Ate Labiey made it just in time. We ate then we decided to ride a jeep to Andrea's place so that we can rest and stay in while waiting for the others. 

We stayed in Habana's residence before we started to prepare. Desiree and Jobelle helped with the sponsors' make up then us afterwards. I really love how these two work together when it comes to vanity. Hahaha! Just kidding. Just in the middle of preparation, #TeamKalma composed of Maggie, Shinjen, Melody, Carl and Narisa came with lots of laughs and stories. But #TeamLateSlashLigaw was calling everyone to ask for directions. They didn't know that they passed by the venue and the house for several times. They even laughed at theirselves because they sang songs while they are searching for the place. By the way, #TeamLateSlashLigaw was composed of my beloved TGAL barkada. Kim, Kathy, Ria, Ria's boyfriend, RJ and Elaine.

So nuff of the my senseless stories. Hahaha! I'll show some pictures from different views and different cameras.

With niggs, Chacha :)

#TeamExcited represent! HAHAHA

One of the funniest stolen shots of the trip, JessBert!

Stolen ulit. Hahaha! Reception :)

Us with the bride.

So after the reception, it was surprising to know that the newlyweds will sleep with us. Lots of awkward moments. Hahaha! :D So we slept in one old house and had our after party 'till 2:30 AM. Early, right? We were forced to sleep early because majority would leave early.

Highlight: After a long time, we had our complete picture. TGAL girls.

Kim, Kathy, me, Ate Labiey, Chacha, Ria and Elaine.

Then the following morning, we were divided into 3. #TeamLigawSlashLate left first, then #TeamKalma. #TeamExcited helped the newlyweds clean the house then left. We walked from the city proper to find a place to eat.

Taal Volcano view. This is breathtaking. Seriously.

Pasalubongs :) Hehehe.

And of course, this trip would not be complete if we don't have a group picture. Hahaha! Madami ng naumay dito because almost everyone from the class set this as their cover photo sa FB. Including me. Hahaha. Cute eh.

So there you go, this is us after a year. Hahaha! We changed a bit. So as of this writing, I am guessing who is the next in line. Hahaha! 

I had fun with my kapatids and I love them! Thank you TriDee barkada! <3
