A-107 Pals

Before I commence on the objective of this post, let me write down a joke I found while blog-hopping! It is interesting and can be used as a trendy text message.

The Alternate Definitions of College Degrees:

B.S. - He knows how to BullShit
M.S. - He is a Master of Shitting
Ph.D. - He can Pile it Higher and Drier

And now onto the objective...

As the title disposes, I have nothing else better to do right at this very moment. I mean I do have some interesting events here that have taken place but too much a composition on happenings can get can be dully excessive.

I'm currently a Broadcasting student in the Lyceum of the Philippines and it's half-sad and half-great to admit that my classmates from section A-101 (most, not all) are pathetic conformists who do or know nothing but impress themselves with the size of their butts. Fatefully, I had a classmate in PE who calls himself Tony and he informs me that he's an irregular student from A-107. He was unlike my conformist classmates and he was the kind of guy whom I can talk to about almost anything without harboring the notion that I'm some weird oddball. Eventually, I found out that he was also a classmate in NSTP. Through him, he introduced me Jeff and Neo while hiding under chairs to avoid the professor's searching eyes but we began only as acquiantances.

As fateful or as twin to destiny as it may seem, I met up with Jeff and Neo along with a friend of theirs, Brion, in a small restaurant. They re-introduced themselves as Tony's friends and they invited me to sit with them. We had a good conversation which originated in VideoGames. The conversation evolved into Medieval and Gothic matters and to Anime artwork.

Since then, I was introduced to more of their classmates, including Jette and Grace and we now formed an unstoppable group of friends who are just someone else! Here's a quick profile of each of them!

Jeffrey "Jeiffraine" Calvario: The Gentle Giant. The amazing thing about this guy is he can socialize with almost every kind of people from the ranks of the highest society to the lowest of the slums. An easy-to-get-along-with kind of guy just from his appearance and almost any conversation commenced with him is worth your time especially those about legends, fictional stories and historical anecdotes (although some stories are too long to pique on your mind). Despite his disposition as a social butterfly, Jeff is a unique individual - a red you can't place among a herd of blue - who has his own sets of beliefs. Besides those latter qualitites, Jeff also has a very protective attitude over his friends and would always be willing to lend them a hand.

Carlo Angelo "Neo" Gonzales: He can be easily defined as an oddball because of his way of talking and thinking. As to speak in a positive sense, Neo is when you're around him, he's the likely one whom you can hear out of this world things from. Without warning, he'll just ask questions such as "What is the meaning of life?" or "Define love." His statements can also easily drive your mind to think hard since peculiar they may be, they contain a large amount of sense. Another amazing thing about Neo is his rhetorical way of speaking and his witty responses to almost every question. Consider yourself fortunate when you meet Neo. He's one in a million.

Jose Ricardo "Tony" Manulid: Although usually isolated, Tony also prefers to be with his friends once in a while. He can be defined as an introverted version of Neo. He has his own credences too but does not perennially intend to voice them out except when asked to. Tony is the kind of guy you can talk anything about including sex and homosexuality but never talk to him with the topic of God or religion in mind. He abhors thhis belief that all things can be explained and controlled by Science alone. Tony might seem inimical once you first lay eyes on him but approach him and you’ll find yourself screwing your eyes for being wrongful!

Socoro Jurjette “Jette” Clemen: Ambiguously the mother of the group. Jette is so far the most mature of us since she talks and acts her age – an adult. Born of high standards and society, Jette thankfully has an attitude that is easily adaptable to almost any situation. Like Jeff, she can change her flavors and blend into any crowd and still result to good relationships! The only moment you’ll want to distance yourself from her is when she’s pissed. She may actually step past the lines and verbally wrestle with those who tick her off. Still Jette is a friend worth having! You go, Girl!

Mark Raymond Brion: At first, Brion may seem hard to socialize with since he perennially disposes his dark side - alone and contemplating. But like the rest of my comprendos, don’t misjudge Brion. You may talk and he may appear looking off into a mental distance but he actually is listening deeply, taking your words and fusing them with his own ideas and beliefs. Brion may be generally quiet and collected but once you find him at his own times, he can blow you away with his jokes and funny antics! Brion is basically a Double Dutch Ice cream. He has both his dark and bright sides and when mixed together, they create a fascinating individual!

Mary Grace Pereyra: Lastly, there’s the round and loveable one! Meet Grace! The (bratty) child of the group! Personally, I haven’t seem Grace in a bad mood yet. She’s always found happy and smiling – the perfect pair to brighten up a friend’s day. Her trademark physical qualities: short, chubby and wears her hair in a bun. Grace is the perfect companion to a party since she’s the type who’s innuendo spells fun and wackiness. This girl can be compared to a bunny; small, stuffy and always hyper!
