Acquaintances

The Junior Officers presented in front (yay red!)

The night was still young when the program for this year's Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers - CPU Student Chapter Acquaintance Party commenced. Everyone from freshmen up to fifth-year was excited for the program to start, only to find out that the first part will bore everyone in the room - dull guest speakers and unimportant things to be acquainted about. And that only ended until the dinner was served when the real enjoyment of the party started.

Fitness

Posing after the run run. Such relief!

I ran five kilometers this morning as a support for a city-wide event of one of the departments of my college. Man, it was hell of a marathon!

   The fun run started with the sun shining, but rain covered the skies after five minutes while we were on the way. In less than an hour or more, of course, we all finished the race in wet clothes. The clouds were that heavy that the rain did not stop until the awarding ceremonies ended.

   Anyhow I am looking forward to joining more of these events. When long ago I would resist to every physical exercise, now I actually like it. Yes to fitness!

Alcohol Abstinence

From L-R: Mark, myself, Celeste, Sweet (Amiel's bag in the middle)

Without plan, I, Celeste, Sweet and Mark went out for dinner tonight at KFC in SM City Iloilo. The initial plan was to drink a few bottles of beer after dinner to doze off this week's stresses but I insisted to just go have dinner (yup, I can actually resist alcohol). Obviously, I succeed.

Amiel, after a sent text, came just before we were about to start eating. The bill's on Mark, which made everyone happy. Plus there's no alcohol involved, so that gave me happiness times two!

Looking Forward

As part of our Civil Engineering curriculum, Elementary and Higher Surveying is a subject we are required to take this year. I'm not making it appear that we're forced to take it, but we're even overwhelmed to have it now. It is our first professional subject taken in our stay in the college, a course we're all anxious about when we were freshmen and sophomores because it appears pleasurable with the then juniors on the field.
