college life

(just for the sake of posting something.)
what my college days are made of: (7 essentials)

1) BORDO BURGERS: big burgers, reasonable prices, near area51, and a great atmosphere for bonding with friends. hmm so the burger preparation is a bit long and calls for patience, but so what? while waiting for the burgers, you can talk to your companions about anything. there's just something about the place that makes you want to stay even after you've already finished your burger. my favorite? HELLFIRE with lots and lots and lots of hotsauce! :D

2) AREA51 PARTIES: birthday parties, celebration parties, or wala lang parties. any excuse just to party and eat lots of food and hang out with the people at area51. pizza, sisig, beer, fishballs, zagu, piknik, cashew nuts, pansit, pandesal, and munchkins. we can party anytime. and as we party, we talk about dota, about acads, and basically anything. and sometimes, we even have mini-film showings of youtube videos. area51 is really a family.

3) BUKO de FRUTAS: nothing beats a huge fresh fruit salad with buko for only 49php! plus, it's just across the street from area51. spell sobrang sulit! hehe. plus it's refreshing at sobrang nakakabusog! may mango, melon, watermelon, at syempre buko. haha. aaah! tapos nung last week ko lang napansin na may lychee din pala! aaw. :( ohwell. try nyo, must-eat ito especially on super duper hot days in elbi.

4) KUYA VINCENT: we used to call him Manong Fishball, but now we know his real name. his spot is smack in front of area51. aside from being the official provider of the official fishballs, squidballs, kwekkwek, kikiam and chickenballs of area51, kuya vincent is also the local provider of coins! he's also considered to be part of the tropang area51. masayang kakwentuhan, at palagi pang may libreng fishball na dagdag!

5) DotA: not a day passes without the mention of the word "DotA". sometimes we go through a day without playing this game if we're really busy but still, the word is mentioned. when one enters the shop, you can hear these words at once : "tara, dota! scare?" boys, girls, kiddies, oldies play this cursed game. fun, addicting, yet also the reason why students cut classes, skip meals and go home late at night.

6) eLBi square: still right across area51, here one can choose from a multitude of eating places and tambayans. madalas sa Eat Sumo kami kumakaen or nagpapa-deliver na lang.usually, students who are trying to save money eat the stuff at Hot Plate, the first place you'll see when you enter the Square. hmm.anu pa ba. CRIBS, huling tambay ko dito ay summer pa. ang mahal kasi, but fun. :)


7) AMIGAS' CR SESSIONS: the perfect way to end a day full of headaches, sunburns and academics. the door at the back of area51 contains a CR, a bodega, and an ashtray. i don't smoke-i have never even tried it. only one amiga smokes, but the rest of us like to spend time inside that small room just to laugh aloud, to cry, to comfort one another and to simply talk about stuff. it doesn't matter to us if the room smells of yosi or if we're surrounded by garbage bags. this room is where we really bond.

yup. 7 essentials of my college life! to cut it short: friends, food and dota! haha! tomorrow, i'm officially going to be an OF (Old Freshman) as i pay for my tuition and get my form 5. time flies? sure does. xD
