Well actually it was 38,865 voices. Haha. But who cares? Last night was still awesome! T'was a nice ending for the 400 years of UST! Even if we were exposed to the heat for about 4-5 hours, worth it naman. Well nasabi ko rin naman yung init na dinanas namin, so imma rant about it kase talagang grabe yung init eh, pero short rant lang naman.
You see ito yung nangyari, we were all assigned to different sections: Bass, Alto, Tenor, and Soprano. Almost all of the guys were placed in the Bass area. Why? Cuz we're Super Bass (Uhm kbye. Hahaha). Anyway, ang init sa area namin (actually buong field mainit kase matirik talaga yung araw). Fortunately, most of us had umbrellas and water to keep us calm and well, sane. But some of the ones who did not opt to bring their umbrellas in such weather, uhm nahimatay lang naman sila. Yun lang naman. *sarcasm* It's all because of UST's unpreparedness again. Masyado silang nasasanay sa impromptu performance. Imagine 40,000 people in a field under the raging heat of the sun, and they're still doing soundcheck! They could've done it naman in the morning to spare us a few hours under the sun, diba? Sobra lang. Tapos yung mass... ang haba grabe! Parang 2 oras yung mass! Sabi ko nga sa kaibigan ko kahapon "Benjo, mass pa ba toh? Para kaseng pumipili na sila ng bagong Santo Papa!" Yeap, that's how we coped with the heat... through humor. Puro gago nga sa area namin eh. They kept shouting "Amaya" to girls with bandanas and "Rosalie" (from Angelito: Batang Ama) to girls wearing RED (capitalizing for emphasis) lipstick. Tapos may nakita pa kaming dude na may gold scarf na binansagan nilang "kapatid ni Amaya". Hahaha. Dude, whoever you are, I'm sorry for constantly laughing at you and also taking pictures of you. Thanks for entertaining us though. *thumbs up*
Okay rant done. See, short lang. Even if almost all of us were in the brink of fainting from the heat, the singing and the fireworks erased every pain we had gone through. The fireworks were really awesome, and this comes from someone who's sick of seeing fireworks (due to his birthday being January 1... sorry ako na. haha). Another plus was that they played a Coldplay song rather than an overused Katy Perry song about well... putukan (mga isip niyo talaga... bastos). Sa sobrang amazing nung fireworks (kase gets? nakaka-elibs talaga), I'm happy to cross off another item from my 2012 Bucket List. #21, baby!
2012 Bucket List.
1. Get higher than the Empire State (if you catch my drift *nudge nudge*)
2. Lose 30 lbs.
3. No TRES in my report card (Pucha, wag rin naman INC or SINGKO).
4. Go on a REAL date.
5. Win a Beer Pong match.
7. Go to another country with FRIENDS (SINGAPORE or HONG KONG).
8. Do the Dougie correctly.
9. Get a higher NMAT score.
10. Get a passing grade on our thesis.
11. Finally learn to ride a bike.
12. Run in a marathon.
13. Finally get drunk (tried a lot of times, but I haven't gotten to that knockout state yet).
14. Make a mirror box (will explain some day).
15. Audition for something.
16. Crash a party.
17. Drive to Subic or Baguio.
18. Enter a Badminton competition.
19. Go to Sagada and go spelunking.
20. Go to Kalinga (ride a carabao and eat ants).
Aside from the fireworks, the food was really awesome, too. It was the cherry on top of a really righteous sundae. I'm also glad that na na-perfect na namin ng block ko yung gagawin pag may fiesta sa UST: One's in charge of the seats, one for the drinks, another one for the rice, one for the bowls, and the others for the food. Hope UST's still generous for the years to come. Sarap lang ng lechon! *thumbs up*
