Unforgettable Us
March 26, 2006It’s been quite a day…and I don’t exactly know how to start this entry.
One thing’s for certain, though I will never ever forget my fellows in learning.
We have gone through so much already ever since the first day of classes in our freshmen days. And as the semesters went by we have gone through highs and lows…twists and turns of our life as college guys and gals.
Outings at every end of the semester. Sleepless nights during school days, petty or at some point, crucial fights between friends. ‘Love teams’ were formed(LoL!). Mortal enemies emerged. Just a term used(mortal enemies)..I dont really mean it as it is..I mean these people arent really enemies, they just like bugging each other to annoyance. And we all enjoy watching ‘em irritate each other..lol!
But then bonds are always tested. It’s shouldn’t be all joviality. There has to be some sort or shaking moments too. That way, we could learn to weigh things, realize mistakes, and eventually take the next step in the stairs of friendship.
Today, for not the first time, we encountered a turning point in our relationship as classmates, as a team…as friends. We just came to a certain point wherein we somehow neglected to do certain things. Small things which later on would have a great impact on our life as IT students, and eventually as career people. Think of it as forgetting the teeny tiny details that we ought to keep in mind.
The incident had something to do with time…and some of us forgetting how precious it is.
This negligence caused some of us to lose patience and be infuriated. Some of us felt that something has to be done. Some just felt that the fire has to be extinguished before it finishes the whole place. We had the extinguisher in hand, the only thing we had to do was use it. And so it was used. A good move. Now all that we have to do is renovated the burned area so the place would be good as new.
The renovation part would have to take place in each of us. The choice of changing for the better would come from the person. After the extinguishing of fire, it is up to the individual, if he chooses to fix up the damaged area or not. I just hope we all do not choose the latter. I feel positive anyway that we won’t. For after the ‘extinguishing’, a response came in order…an encouraging one.
Oh well…that ends this blog entry. I still am busy with the project but I just thought I couldn’t let the day pass without being able to blog about what happened today and without thanking God for the lesson learned. For the friendship strengthened. And for the challenge of change imparted. I pray for the bond of friendship to get even stronger.
G’nyt everyone!
