Charie's Menagerie

The title was based on MemCom's theme in the Midsem Genmeet. I could still remember my first EB Interview after our third long exam in Stat 101. I was applying for Mem Co-chair and I was the only apllicant for Mem Co-chair that was interviewed by Mak (he was busy that kuya Jay interviewed the rest). At that time I wanted that position because my sponsor (ate Nhey applying for Chair) and my master (kuya Mak) were graduating and I wanted to at least experience working with them as an EB.

It seemed only yesterday when we (Mem and AR EBs + RomaBuls) spent a sleepover at kuya Mak's house to divide work and videoke all night long. I can still smell the air when I had to say good bye too soon to April while we were dining at Kenny because I had to prepare for the Christmas Party (happiest day in my life. hahaha...). I recall I had to wake up really early because of our Breakfast Midpoint at Somethin' Fishy (we were supposed to meet at 7:30 but Mak arrived at 9:30. hahaha...). I can also remember the nights I had to stay-up searching pictures for Memlawin or JPIA Wowoweek, doing the Eval Pack (official eval pack maker), making video presentations, seaching Marlowe's costume, contemplating food for commeets, or just mere chatting at YM with my co-EBs.

I've always wished it was forever but all stories end, finals came and we had to say good bye. After our last finals (99.2), we spent the night at Katipunan chatting about a lot of things. The final words were at 6:30 am, April 2 when we said farewell and rode taxis on separate directions.

The book is open again. This time I won't be the main character. I would be the one of the writers.
