TO: Dormmates

Have you ever wondered at this time, though why slippers are now easily accessible? Slippers now seem to hurdle up and down charming residents to use them in every way possible. Use them or push 'em. If I was in your place, I'd use them. Blue, white, red or pink. It doesn't matter for a slipper snatcher.

I came in the dorm May 25, 1988 1130AM. Who cares? I just lived there for 5 tiring, depressing, boring, hyper, exciting, happy, fortunate, cheerful, contented, delighted, extraordinary, remarkable, phenomenal, unique, canteen-high pricing, intoxicated, shouting, laughing, head-banging and loving years. WHOOA! Well, I just got the love three and a half months ago. But anyway, you might not have realised it, but will soon will, people in the dorm seem to grow physically older but mentally the same. Well, in my case it's different. I seem to grow physically older but mentally younger. That's why right now I can say that I learned to love the dorm and I would like to take a final look before making a dire choice of staying or leaving. It's a choice, though. Very difficult. So, if in case you come to a point same as mine, think of the things that you'll have to miss if you choose on leaving: Carlo and Dylan's tandem Alaska, Gio and Cromwell's muslin adventures, Erwin and Jun-jun's 20-residents-accommodating TV, Paul-Phel-Gene-Awi and Christian's Pugad hideout, Felix and Carlo's little adventure, Ian's airplane lecture, Tony Baloney's chick tempting super body, Gerry's never ending law review, John's slang lesson, Dennis and Brian's super duper black basketball imitation, Jigger's one-big-hell-of-a-smile, Dean and Francis mutual understanding, Erwin Libron's cup throwing birthday bash, Martin Ora's and Martin Atienza's similar name or whatever, Ethel-Chona-Melody-Otoy-Jing-Liza's annex 230AM accomodation, Yan-yan and Annie...OK, Nina's bag full of brownies, Marky B talk alike, Jimbo, Melvin and Abe's silent talk, Jumbo and Bong's fast diet lessons, Jolly's natural wind maker, Mr. Uy's Banking Corporation, Melaine and Pam's heart-warming accomodation, may brother and roommate. That was long, though. Now prepare to listen to the benefits you'll get when you leave the dorm; hard work and low pay. Nice isn't it?

But anyway a bit of advice to you all from the pioneer himself. Somehow, sometime, you will have to leave. I say, bring those memories of the dorm with you. Good or bad, happy or sad, take them all for it is the only thing we have that make us identify ourselves as part of LSC. Next time you come back and visit the dorm, you'll be surprised that it isn't really the dorm that make thing memorable but the people who lived there. Thank you everybody for sharing. Adios LSC for a while. Stay up late, don't study and stay in school as long as possible.

Your No. 1 Stirrero,

Johnny
