“Wala namang taong bobo eh. Tanga lang.”

That was one of the many quotable quotes that Kacey mumbled this evening as we gorge on some Kenny Rogers Chicken. Kacey, albeit the recent hardships in life, was still the funniest thing ever. Hehe. It was my first time to really bond with Kacey, Misha, Apol, Monique, Peter, Andre, Nestor, and Maj in months. And I was so happy, we were able to talk about the future plans and current issues of our organisation, the UP Cineastes’ Studio. And oh, our website is up! Check it out!

The organisation had just had its Applicants’ Orientation this afternoon/evening. I was very glad that there were so many aspiring members this semester. Good job, guys! I’m very, very proud of you. And to the applicants, good luck! Wag kayo mag-defer ha. Hindi kayo magsisisi. I swear.

While talking about some annoying guy (neither a member nor an applicant; something else). Hehehe.
Kacey: Sino dun? Sino dun?
Someone: Yung panget! Yung panget!
Kacey: Kumusta naman yung description na panget! Napaka-subjective.
Yoshke: Hindi a. May mga universal panget. Siya, universal panget sya.

It’s funny how I always declare my ‘detachment’ from any of my college organisations** (UP Cineastes’ Studio, UP Broadcasters’ Guild, UP Cinema) now that I’m already a graduate, when I always participate in and visit their events, and sometimes help them out with anything or offer any assistance. My orgs, like Cineastes, have a special place in my heart and I don’t think that would change. EVER.

Anyways, I came across this ancient org photo and I was aghast! What the…?! See for yourself:

It’s like I wasn’t even in the picture! All I see now is my hair! Kumusta naman yung hindi ako kita, at takip na takip ako sa pic?!? I envy the projector in the foreground! And damn, Asta looked so innocent! This pic was taken at the It’s A Wrap Film and Video Festival, one of the many events that the org managed and set up that year. (Sigh) I suddenly missed my university life.

Good luck to the new set of the org’s Executive Board! And to all the other Cineastes, as well. Go, go Cineastes! Kupal at Maangas!

* Org ‘joke.’ If you’re not a Cineaste, don’t expect to get what it actually means.
** I was also a member of the UP Junior Marketing Association but I was not really active, hehe.
