Summer's Last Hurrah Part 1
Jun. 7th, 2011 08:14 amSo yeah. Summer's officially over.
Deal with it.
Most of us (yes, I still call myself a student) were saddened by this fact (say hello to the intoxicating schoolworks + nasty professors + bitchy classmates), while others jubiliated because it's back to school--and that means allowance again.
Now this is important for fan girls because with all the KPOP merch, events, and concerts everywhere, kulang na lang eh magbenta sila ng kidney masustentuhan lang ang fangirling life.
Before I rant over my failed law school carrer, I'd like to give an ode to one of my best summer vacations ever.
~UBErnight at Leo's condo unit~
So here's the separate story that I've been talking about in my previous post. I am devoting a space for this one because this is indeed one of the most unforgettable things that happened to my life recently.
Not many people know that I had a conflict with some people in my UBE barkada last April, until the 8G of CassPH last May 07. We weren't in good terms because of some incident that happened on our supposed-to-be good stay in Laguna. Eventually, we gave each other the silent treatment, and in the long run, we drifted apart from each other for quite sometime. It has taken a toll on me because I was not able to work well for weeks, resulting in a poor result in my monthly evaluation. ><
Leo, for his part, the good person that he is, really wanted this sleepover to push through, because he wanted this issue to be fixed--before it gets worse. I really commend this guy for being one the neutralizers in the group. ^^ He never fails with his heroic acts--not only to the animals, but also to people.
The night before the 8G, he said to me while walking back to his apartment from Starbucks and Wendy's, "I'm doing this especially for you."
So much for the butterflies rejoicing in my stomach.
But yeah, I just smiled.
Admit it.
That was really sweet.
I am the type of person who does not speak much, and I don't usually confront people. Whenever I did something wrong, I admit it, then shut up. That's why when some of them told me that they will talk to me, I just agreed, but I told them that I won't explain myself anymore.
It's spilled milk anyway.
So much irony for a law student like me who's destined to confront criminals and culprits in the future.
So there. If you were with us that night, you can really feel the tension between me and them. Like there was some unknown force pulling us apart. While we were heading back to the condo unit after we ate at McDonalds, I was really quiet the whole time. I just had my headset on and listening to music. BTW, I was about to get hit by the car that sped past before me. Thank God luck was created.
The moment we had returned, I went straight to the fire exit and prepared myself for the worst that could happen. I kept on mumbling to myself--"I had nothing to say." while listening to music through my headset.
Really. I really had nothing to say. Bahala na.
JP and Leo went out and saw me teary-eyed. JP hugged me and offered me his hanky. They were just beside me, patting my back, and ready to catch me if I break down. I suddenly felt blessed for having these two guys beside me all the time, alongside Jeff--they were my constant companions during the time I was under fire.
Suddenly, Leo turned me around (My back was facing them, btw) and hugged me.
I was like *______________________* for God knows how long.
I was too dumbfounded to react--I wasn't even able to hug him back. All I did was to cry.
For a moment, and for some unexplainable reason, the world seemed to stop, and all I can hear is his voice whispering something in my ear. Tears endlessly rolled down on my cheeks as I listened to every word that he said. Now I know many of you will call this a cliche, but that was a first for me.
At my age, I know I shouldn't be feeling this... but I felt really loved that time.
No guy has ever done those for me--not even my best friend, who was also a guy.
Anyway, after that, I suddenly found the strength to let go of my foolish pride, and talked to the people whom I don't want to lose.
Well, it's all water under the bridge now, as the saying goes.
We had a forum, and some spoke up about the current situation. I commend those who spoke up and offered solutions to the problems. Well, problems are inevitable in any group, and I know for a fact that UBE won't let these problems eat them up. One thing that I love about this group is that it's like we've known each other forever, and yet, we are still surprised whenever we discover something about someone. I consider myself really lucky to have these people as my friends. They are the reason why I stayed away from the vices which I used to do in college. :) I was a real bitch back them--I may not look like one, but I've got a bitchy attitude. I drink a lot (when I drink, I drink until I pass out), and party a lot, and got myself into many catfights. XD
Well, I think it's safe to say that I can call them my life savers. ♥
Among my lots of circles of friends, this group is very special to me, just like my HS barkada. Actually, UBE is like the reincarnation of my 8-year old HS barkada, except for the fact that my HS buddies are not KPOP fans~The special bond that we share is something that is unbreakable--like our love for Dong Bang Shin Ki. I had my fair share of rants over my college barkada, that's why they're not that special to me. (betch mode XD)
The next day, we left Leo's unit with a smile.
What a meaningful night it was, indeed.
I will forever be thankful for what Leo did for me.
He knows that.
I love you UBE. ♥
It really stood up for its name.
Summer's Last Hurrah part 2 coming up ^^
PS: And what's with the background music?
Yes, that was song being played on my player when Leo hugged me.
