The CSB Experience: What If I Joined the The Team? Part 2

    Nung Friday (April 4), nagkaroon ako ng lakas ng loob na i-text uli ang coach ng varsity. That was around 5:37 in the afternoon (I was timing actually songs I was listening at the time from my I-Pod  while on taking an LRT ride home). So here’s how I said to him by text: “Sir…, may interest po akong sumali sa…varsity. Maari k po bng malaman kung paano po sumali? Thank u po-….”

    Nung gabing iyon habang kumakain ako ng hapunan, nakatanggap ako ng text mula sa coach ng varsity. Mga 7:37 na ng gabi. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang maari niyang sabihin, kinakabahan ako. Sabi tuloy ng kapatid ko na basahin ko na lang iyung reply sa’kin para wala nang pagalinlangan at wala nang pasuspense-suspense pa. Heto ang nabasa ko: “Sa april 21 ulit ang training dahil malapit na exam week…pwede tayo magkita during praktis sa date na ito…615 to 8am.ty”.

    Woohoo, negosasyon na kaagad! Hehehe! Still I really don’t know what to expect na din. But good thing that I no longer have regular classes on the 21st. Just my summer BMAT-2x class to focus on the same day. Hehehehe!

The CSB Experience: From USTe with LUV (The ANIMOfication of the Benildean Thomasians)

    Meet Joseph, he is a behavioral science major, a Thomasian 106(my version of the Lasallian batch system applied in CSB), a UST uniform-clad lad and a student of the University of Santo Tomas…then. Today, he is a Hotel, Restaurant and Instituiton Managament student, a 2-termed 107, and my classmate in Algeb-x who wears a long polo.

    Meet Monica, a student from UST, and a certified tigasin. Today, she is an HRIM gal and wears a formal attire complete with a black coat. In other days, she wears a Chemlec/chemlab uniform complete with white crocs-like clogs. and yeah, she’s my classmate from Algeb-x. She has a friend who is, somehow, a Thomasian as well.

    Meet Paolo E., a Biology student, certified math genius and supposedly a 3rd year(?) student from UST. Today, he’s also an HRIM student. Seen always with a coat-and-tie attire (formal) in some days and as well as wearing his Chemlec uniform. A classmate of mine in Algeb-x.

    Meet Paolo L., an Archicture student from UST, certified Thomasian forever. Today he’s a BSBA-CA student (Bachelor of Science and Business Administration in Computer Applications), and still a certified Thomasian at heart. He’s also a classmate of mine in Algeb-x.

    Meet Paolo C., a UST student, a friend of the abovementioned. Today, he is a student pursuing a course under SDA (School of Design and Arts) and my classmate in Algeb-x.

    Meet Angela, a behavioural science major in UST, another supposedly 3rd year Thomasian. Today, she is a formal attire-clas HRIM student currently serving her 2nd term in the school. She’s my classmate in Algeb-x.

    These are just some of the many Thomasians that I know who became Benildean Transferees. They make up almost the majority of the CSB transfer students, just neck-to-neck with those from La Salle. There are many reasons on why they transferred, it’s either 1)”It’s hard in UST”, 2)”My girlfriend broke up with me in UST”, 3)”I can’t seem to find the satisfaction I need from UST”, etc. These reasons are quite common in other colleges thus the urge to transfer.

    Although these classmates of mine had long left USTe and that they pretty much embraced the ANIMOistic Benildean culture, the memories that they made while there are dearly treasured well into their hearts. That’s why USTe will always have a special place to their hearts and minds. Paolo L. is more Thomasian of the abovementioned taht’s why he talks nothing else but his beloved first school. Hehehe. Hmmm…..
