Teehee, sorry for the late post. Was up all night last night playing, so, yeah.
Anyway, friends.
I don't know why, but I'm currently finding it hard to write about this topic, even though I have already written another about it (albeit, on a more economic point of view, click here to read). But one thing I can say though, is that even with my relatively wide scope of people I'm in good terms with, there are only a handful which I can truly call my friends.
For the last two years, break time has never been the same for me. Ever since a friend of mine introduced us into playing his board/card games, I've been hooked. And after a while, it's been tradition to play during breaks or whenever we're free. And the fun part is that my other friends also seem to be hooked, even some other people who don't usually stay with us play every once in a while. So for making the past two years really really fun and entertaining and for never seeming to run out of ideas, thank you Justin.
Of course with games, it's never fun to play with only yourself. That's where your other friends come in. Eventually this sense of being only a player to another will fade and you will tend to hang out with them more and more. Even though we have not been exactly the closest of friends, I'm still glad you guys are around to play with. Edmond, Maki, Jia, the games will never have been as epic without you guys.
Games aren't the only thing in friendships. The relationship in itself is the most crucial part. Being there when needed, having someone to talk to about stuff, all these also is a part of every friendship.But you can't help but have some friends who talks some sense into you every once in a while, and that's one way to test the strength of your friendship. And Quina and Ria have never failed to be there when I need someone to talk to, or you know, just to be there.
Usually girl (space) friends are the ones whom you go to (if you're a guy, then again, also if you're a girl) for serious conversations. But guys could also make for good conversations, even though there may (usually) arise random spurs-of-the-moment jokes and whatnot. And they're usually the more loyal once who'd stick with you no matter what (no offense to anyone). Three years have I been stuck with these guys, and even now we question the sole foundation of our friendship, but I wouldn't have Marlo nor Leif any other way (no, I do NOT know what you mean).
Almost everyone has their close friend of the opposite gender. Usually to be the one to talk you out of (or sometimes even into) something stupid, to knock some sense to you, and basically be your opposite-gender-conscience. But sometimes, they're also your go-to person to talk to about random problems concerning other friends and people. But no matter what happens and what stupid, crazy, whacked-up thing you do, they'll always have your back (and quite possibly still have random normal-but-supposed-to-be-really-awkward conversations with them). Just so you know Thea, I'll still be setting up my alarm just to be able to request.
So I guess that's it then?
Ha, heck no. I could never forget that one friend of mine.
The one best friend that have seen me at my best and at my worst. The one who fits all the description above (except anything game related, you have a really strong self-control, I salute you for that). The one whom you'd trust with your life. The one whom you'd trust with your heart.
For some reason, I always end up liking my best girl (space) friend, and always end up failing (usually, the demise is caused by my best guy (space) friend). I don't know why this is, but somehow, it just is.
Well, to be honest, I really don't know what else to say (actually, I do, but it might cause a general reaction to people, don't worry though, it's not R-18). Just that you're the best friend I've always wanted to have, the best friend that have stuck with me for three years through ups and downs. And for that, and countless many others, and yeah, thanks for everything, Angelei. (To anyone wondering, yeah, it's her)
I guess, that's it.

Day 4 - Fourth Year Section
Butterfly!!! Caterpillar!! YEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've got to say, fourth year definitely made up for my third year section. And I deeply regret not making the most out of it.
Muon is definitely one hell of a section. Yes, some stratification (wow, word of the week xD) found every now and then, but we're usually bonded as one. Everyone has had their place in the section. And everyone had played a role in it at least once. And for some reason, you always get pulled back if ever you try to stay away.
Muon, like the particle, isn't exactly the most stable section. Random craziness happens every now and then, especially with the combination of Neil Cruda and Al Lopez, and many many more.
As I've said earlier, I'm regretting not being able to make the most out of this section. So many things that could've been done weren't. But there's nothing turning things back, so what's done (or not) is done. I'm just glad that for the last few months, I've been able to get closer with some of the people in Muon. And well, yeah.
Muon, thank you for making our last year in Pisay memorable. Thank you for living up to the title of a section. And thank you for being my one and only fourth year section :D

Day 3.5 - Third Year Section (revisited)
I'll be doing a 3.5 for this challenge, as to quote a famous line, "cause fuck you, that's why".
My better third year section, Sodium annex, or famously called the Na-nnex, is the "section" which I feel like is, well, my section. Most of my friends are there, my new-found friends are there, my (not-so-official) girl(space)friend is there (through transitivity [Dennis (Na) - Ronida (Na-nnex, cause, yeah :>) - Angelei (Cousin) - moi]), and well, its the group I've spent my third year with the most.
It's one of those groups that never run out of energy. And when I say never, I mean never. They're always fun to hang out with, no matter the situation. It's somewhere you can easily feel at home in. And for some reason, everything just seems to click. Everything just seems to fall into their respective places. It seems like the world was in flux.
I really don't know what to write cause this was just a spur of the moment decision to write this in the first place, *ahem*THEA*ahem*. So just a shout out to the Na-nnex people, thank you for everything. Thank you for making me feel better about the whole K thing. Thank you for making me feel comfortable. Thank you for everything we did and whatnot. Most of all, thank you for being the section I longed to be in.

Day 3 - Third Year Section
Ahh, third year. Somehow, I dislike and like this year the most at the same time. But whatever the case, this year had the most roller coaster moments, so many ups, downs, twists, turns, loop-de-loops and whatnot happened this year. But sadly, I didn't get to spend it with a section I felt home in. (I'm sorry to any K who's reading this.)
The stratification in this section was quite high in the beginning. And sometimes, I find myself to constantly not belong in any of it. Yes, sometimes I hang out with a group every now and then, but it is just sometimes. I never truly found my home in the section. I do have some friends within the section, but even they have other closer friends that they'd rather hang out with. Somehow, I really think I don't belong in this section. But sometimes, I think what would Potassium be without me?
Oh yeah, right. Still Potassium. Still the same section I was in. Still the same from last year. Nothing would change, after all, what am I to Potassium anyway? I'm probably just one of those fillers for the section, just to make the count complete and correct. After all, what's a miniscule part to do with the bigger picture? Nothing.

Day 2 - Second Year Section
Huh, what do you know? I'm still here.
They say the Second year in Pisay is the hardest, being the year with the most units and consequently, more requirements. But in all entirety, it's not. You don't have to do research and write a valid scientific paper about it, you don't have CAT which takes up your Friday afternoons plus some other times for required community service, you don't have to worry about actually reading up ahead to get credit for 25% of your final grade, and most importantly, you don't have to balance all of these and more constantly throughout a year.
Most of my classmates from second year would say that they'd rather be in another section, almost everyone disliked the section. But for me it's a different story, second year cemented almost everything I've been building up since first year. It made for a huge turning point for me, although it may not seem so, though I won't be writing much about that, so yeah.
One of the things I loved the most about Sampa is our Mayroong 5, the group that I was in that originated from the deep taverns of the Math unit. Originally consisting of 6 members (cause, well, personal relationships of a group's member makes for transitive membership, right?), namely me, Marlo, Leif, Alkie, Ryan + Angelei, it was one of the most whacked up group then. But it was this sense of randomness that kept me there. Sadly, the group has disbanded by the end of the year, and Ryan and Alkie went off their separate ways. (Details of the story are not to be mentioned here)
Despite the lack of chemistry within the class and the heavy stratification of the people in it, it still doesn't make the cut for my worse section. I have enough space in my heart left for this section to last me for a while.
Til we meet again (you know, on March 24) ;)

Day 1 - First Year Section
RUBY!!!!!
Where the hell do I start? :))
From all the four sections I've had, Ruby is still by far the best (Muon is a close second though xD). What makes me love it is not just the people, not just the chemistry of the people, but the section in itself. So many memories attached, so many obstacles hurdled together as a section, and who can complain if your newsletters always go "Ruby 2012 and Others 2012"?
Instead of paragraphing everything I like about this section, I'd just do a list :D
//So yeah, that's it I guess. And yeah, I really do suck in writing :))

- At least 5 laptops open for an Armagetron/SMW/whatever game session at the front lob every morning at around 6 am, to be repeated during lunch times
- Tersa's house. Bar, Poker table, Mahjong, huge television space, game room, food.'Nuff said.
- Sir Mardan. Come on, what other teacher is going to force their students to dance a famous song whose lyrics were changed into a Math related one? "So here's a complex fraction, a freakshow. The right LCD is the solution baby.."
- Enchanted Kingdom, the other outing place.
- Ka-kornihan ni Dario Ceblano
- People who know how to play Mahjong, Pusoy Dos, Tong-its, etc. And the rest wants to learn.
- A somehow organized Poker game using pogs
- Jelor Gallego
- Micholo Medrana at Tersa's house
- Ma'am Buenafe
- "Kita mo 'tong _____ na 'to? Dati human yan eh, tinira ko" - Justin Bantos
- In-depth Pokemon analysis (sorry na, adik ako :P)
- et. al.
//So yeah, that's it I guess. And yeah, I really do suck in writing :))
