OrSem Escapades
*edit*

What can I say about OrSem? Well, for starters, I'm glad that it's over--not because it was boring (it wasn't totally boring--honest!). It's because my feet are tired from all the walking. I'm glad it's over because now I can just bond with my blockies from the best block in the world (I HEART r3!) without the hassle of running around the campus with people shouting "MOOOOOBBBBB!!!:. :P


The OrSempics aren't ready yet, so I'm just gonna rant about the "happenings" during the tiring but fun three-day event.

DAY ONE
It was a bright and sunny morning when I met up with Denis, Bet, Ren, Mark, Steph, Kram, Nix, Bea, and Ingga at the Gesu. We hung around there for quite sometime before we left for the registration in the covered courts. After registration, I went looking for my block. I was greeted by 2 TNTs (they're really cool--da BEST!). I didn't really know all my blockies personally. I knew that there were 5 ICAns in my block, so I was a bit surprised to see JaQ in my block. It turns out that she was the 6th ICAn, an addition to our 27 students in the block. Cool. People would refer to our block as "that ICA Block" because of our number.

Aside from the 5 other ICAns, I also knew Denis and MM beforehand, so I was glad to know that I wouldn't be alone. Both of them are really fun and nice friends to hang out with. As Denis would put it, "Hope matagal pa ang pagsasamahan natin." I sure hope that as the days go by, our friendship with one another would grow stronger. That's a promise, ayt guys? :P Marami pa tayong mga gimmick na kailangang itupad. haha :D Basta, if you guys need anything, alam naman ninyo na nandito lang ako (as cliche as it sounds). That's the truth. :D

I also got to meet my other blockies whom I knew from YM, but didn't really get to chat with them to get to know them better. These were Nigui, Charles, Maika, Nats, and Sophie. Of course, there were also those whom I haven't spoken to EVER. As the first day progressed, I got to know my blockies on a personal level. I got to chat with them, I got to know what kind of personalities they had.

Our TNTs arranged a Campus Tour for all of us. We went running from one place to another. It was a really hectic and tiring day for us all. At the end of the day, we had our block pic taken. Surprisingly, our picture was displayed/shown in SOM night during day 2.

This was day one. The fun starts at day two.




DAY TWO 
This was probably the most fun OrSem day I've had. We had a lot of block bonding during the GDs (I think Charles enjoyed it the most--yung friendship chain thingie..haha jk!) and while waiting for SOM night. Grabe, if you could only see our block during pre-SOm night. We were really noisy, but happy...weird, but fun. I could definitely say that my block has a lot of camera whores--which is fun, btw. :D (Paupload naman ng pics sa multiply o! haha)

Later that night, we had our SOM night, a night of orientation about the School of Management.

I don't really remember the exact details of Day Two. All I know is that I had fun. It was certainly a day of bonding for Block R3 :D

Congrats nga pala to Ryan for doing the robot banana dance in front of the whole ComTech freshie batch (you DA man!) and to Denis for singing a duet with one of the TNTs kahit masakit lalamunan mo and no one wanted to believe you. You'll always be my OrSem Idol! Naks!  haha ;)



DAY THREE
I met my English block on Day Three. In fairness, I missed R3. My Engblock was nothing compared to my course block. You guys (R3) will always have a special place in my heart. Naks! Getting senti in here..haha

My blockies really prove that the world is definitely one small place. I mean, Nikki (my Engblock) is Denis' (my blockie) fellow choir (?) member. Ivory (my Engblockie) is Charles' (my blockie) schoolmate. Nikki, Ruth, and Tin are my schoolmates and my Engblockies. It's a small world after all. haha

Anyway, during OrSem night, I had a bonding session with my "Gesu" friends and blockmates. Denis and Gen bought the pizzas--nalilibre si Martee! Whooppeeee!! But of course we had to chip in for the excess pizzas..kakahiya kasi kay Martee eh..haha :D So we bonded over pizza and music underneath the pale covered court ceilings. haha :D I personally didn't like the music--it was too loud and I thought I was becoming deaf. Anyway, Spongecola, K]wan and Francis M performed that night.


I was really tired after the three-day event, but the friendships I've made with the people around me worth definitely worth the fatigue I've experienced. Aww...haha touched kayo? :D
