Doing Nothing and Writing Something..

March 05, 2010

After a few months of pretty hard labor and non-stop head juicing, it is finally done. A lot of people and inanimate objects helped us in doing so and I thank all of them. Nonetheless, I would specifically want to thank:

MY PARENTS – Mrs. Marites Santiago and Mr. Robert Santiago who never wavered in supporting me both financially and emotionally. I hate the fact that I’m already this..mature and sooner or later, I will have to have my own life. I wish I can forever stay as your stubborn and silent kid.

The UP BETA SIGMA FRATERNITY and The UP SIGMA BETA SORORITY
Brods, our times together – both good and bad – will stay with me as long as I live. Let us continue propagating all that is good and noble in men. Cheers! Also to Brod Ules’ family, thank you for letting us in, always.
Sisses, stay beautiful both inside and out.

OMP’S UNLIMITED BUDDIES – (Among others: Marnel-my thesis partner, Ron – boardmate forever, Jules-missing in action, Kett-silent but deadly, Saer-unlimited food and drinks, Win2-tall yet short, Joei – eerily primal, Zanthe – Ms. “Waaaaaa”, Regine – Patok buddy since Highschool, Brod Joel – the neutralizer and manugbantay sang hubog and Ren – thanks sa pag bulig encode)
I started my life here in the University with a bang because of you guys. After years of listening to my unfounded ‘emoness’ and my weird pa-deep¬ moments, I’m glad that you are all still intact. Now that we admittedly have gone our own ways, I’m glad that we still try to stay together and hang out once in a while. Those moments in BALAY KANLAON (Rm 19) and the OLD OMP’s will always be ours and ours alone.

FRIENDS – You know you are one if you think you are one. I would’ve liked to mention you all specifically but it will take me hours more. Kidding. I don’t want to appear assuming that you are my friend, so I didn’t go specific. Kidding again. 😀 Thank you for: The pat in the back. The crazy laughing moments. The kaya mo na times. The Love. The Patience in listening. The countless tambay hours. The gift of person. Mentioning your names will be petty compared to the Thanks that I wish to give.

PAKNER – Mr. Marnel Ticao. T, tapos man sya gali noh? Thanks for the patience and for the utter willingness to be my partner in this…adventure.

YOU WHO CAME IN LATE – “Treasures are best kept buried.” Forgive me for my frequent doubts and sentimentality. I will never be the same because of you. I don’t know where this will end up, but nothing will keep me away as long as you want me to stay. Amin mela lle bok.

MY WEIRD ATTACHMENTS – Bagani and Teddy who, on countless occasions, listened to me. Kismet, my cat, for the battle scars.

SAMASA PARTY ALLIANCE – To my own mass org LFS especially, thank you for opening my eyes, my heart and my mind. Let us continue Arousing, Organizing, and Mobilizing the masses for a substantial social change. Padayon mga kaupod!

PSYCHOLOGY FACULTY MEMBERS – Statistics, details, substance and more. These wouldn’t have been successful if not for all your help: Ms. Moniq Muyargas, our wacky and outspoken thesis adviser. Mr. Jose Go, for checking our development from time to time.Ms. Lea Pradilla, for the statistical part. Mr. Darius Salaum, for the insights and the additional help in the statistical part. Ms. Parcon, for your presence in the presentation.

THE CREATOR – I will forever doubt that you exist, you know that. But if you’re there, thanks.
