Just because two of my blockmates are forcing me to do a blog post about them, it doesn't mean that that's the reason why I'm doing this. Having them part of my life has been a series of adventure and distress. There were issues here and there, but there were mostly fun and happiness.
You know how my block from the first term made me a miserable sack. Though Den, Mariko, Mhary and Jez made it feel less miserable, I still didn't feel I was where I belong. On the first day of the second term I knew that I was still with Den. That made me relived because I would still be with one of my 'college bffs' — consists of me, Mhary, Mariko and Den. It made Den and I feel so sad since we weren't complete. We were cut into half. It was devastating for the both of us. Then we knew that Mj was part of the block, I didn't worry any longer.
Then Den had dengue for a whole week. It made me bond with my best friend. Then Clarence tagged along. It was great because we actually had fun. We had lunch at Southmall and we actually had time for karaoke! It was the first moment when I thought that SFU was not that bad to be in.
Mj often wasn't in school, either he doesn't want to or he was sick. So that made me get new friends. It was awesome.
Cyrus is my go to person. I could literally tell him everything. He made me trust again.
We have this friend Ash. She's really, per say, rich. That's not what people like about her for though. We love her because of her laugh. It's really contagious. She makes us giggle even in the smallest of things. We usually hang in her crib to swim. We didn't have any swim suits or whatnot, it was all improvised.
After all the fun, we had a bloody assessment to do. We had to list a lot of alcohols. It was aggravating. It seemed impossible to do. We then decided to do it all together. So we went all the way to Taft to check some liquor stores and we then went to MOA.
Then there was this SFUn day. It was like a sportsfest in SFU. It was boring. But there was Quidditch! I couldn't resist, so I joined. I was a beater. I was a pretty lame beater to be honest. But I became better at the end. I remember how Cyrus and Den pointed and laughed at me. That moment was just pure happiness. The fact that I have friends that are laughing at my misery. [GO WHITE FOXES!]
We were required to attend three days of the sports fest. I spent one with Cyrus and Vince. This guy, he just came out of no where. I seriously can't remember how I got close with Vince, but mostly my good memories of term two was filled with him.For some reason I just got really close with this guy. I'm seriously thinking on when I became close to him, I don't think it was at SFUn, I think it was before... But nothing really happened before that. Ugh, whatever, can't remember. The point is, Vince is my best buddy. He's that kind of friend where you spend your whole day with and he still has time to text or call you at night. Well, for me that is. He trusts me, and I trust him. I guess the whole best buddy thing started is when I told him something really deep. Not much people know about this, only my closest friends. I don't even post this certain thing here. But now, at the present, I think my whole block knows. So it's not much of a secret anymore.
We then had this industrial visit. It was consists of all blocks and the Culinary students. It was fun. It wasn't anything about how to put restaurants, it was all about knowing yourself. To be honest, I didn't learn to much from that, but it was great because of the memories and the bonding. On the way there, I was sat beside my Mj. It was pretty quiet because it was early in the morning. It was pretty funny because I was holding my pee for so long. Jez suddenly blurted out that he needed to pee. Then there was a train of people saying the same thing. It was hilarious.
When we got inside there was food and tables everywhere. I hated this. I hated picking which table I would sit and which people I have to sit beside with. Mj was with his guy friends, so I couldn't intrude. Vince then texted me that he wasn't comfortable with his current position so I called him and got a chair so that he would just sit beside me. In the table, I was with the three girls— Janella, Dana, Jaja (Jaja wasn't in the trip though) they were usually together, they're the best. They're those kinds of people where you can be forgiven easily and you will be treated as their own.— And there was Cyrus, AC, Lark —Ac and Lark are two people from the previous block.— , and Ash and Vince. It was pretty awkward that I wasn't sitting beside Den and the others. There were all in the same table. Mj was there too. That just made me more guilty. It didn't matter much anyway because I had fun. I was with Vince the whole day. It was actually the best because we laughed at exactly the same things! At first we wanted to be alone so that we could talk more, but suddenly everyone was going to where we were. We just got quiet and laughed at something. (Even Dana knew what we were laughing about and she laughed along) Then we just walked away from the people and just had a walk. Then we started to tag along with other people because we ran out of things to say. We ended up having the company of Janella, Dana, Cyrus, the two Koreans, Judy and Ye Joo. It was awesome. The break was done and we went back inside. Mj called me to sit beside him so I did. It was cool hanging out with him just for a while. I felt sane when we talked. It was like going back to my roots, you know what I mean? Unfortunately, it was just for a second. Then the host just told us to make a circle out of the chairs. Then I sat beside Vince and Cyrus. All I remember was making a symbol for myself. I drew a rose bud because I haven't bloomed yet. I told my reason why I drew it loudly, (not on purpose) then I swear I heard Mj laughed. It was pretty funny though. On the way back, I was beside Dana and we just talked about her religion. It was actually interesting. I actually want to attend one of their gatherings. 
Then a series of issues happened. I had an issue with Den. Yes, Den. It just crushed me. I don't want to share it, it's over. But it got us closer. It made me tell her everything. It actually made our relationship stronger. Vince had his own issues with someone as well. Then I had an issue with Mj. Yes, my best friend. It was just a misunderstanding, but it lasted for a week. I was seriously depressed that time. With all these issues happening, Vince thought of talking it out. We then made a trend. We went to Starbucks with Cyrus. After that day, we went to Starbucks almost everyday. Since Vince was always with Ash, she tagged a long as well. Since Vince shared the pictures in every social website possible, Den, Lark and AC wanted to come as well.
I love how AC and I clicked at once one day in Bistro Lima. She suddenly told me everything. And I mean everything. She told me her deepest and darkest secrets and I told her mine. It was awesome having a friend like her. She talks and she listens. She's really awesome. Lark seems to be cool too. Like we didn't really click during the first term, but for the second term, we were alright. She was the gamer among us. I'm actually jealous of her because she's called as the gamer. Lol. I am a gamer too, I just don't play computer games, give me a controller and watch your ass get kicked by yours truly.
Anyway, these people are the blessing that I never expected. I love them with all my heart. Each and everyone of them is important to me. Best block ever. If you guys are reading this, please don't ever forget that I love you. Thank you for everything. You guys are the best. :**
