My schedule these days were so hectic that I have to meet my dormates in Forbeswood Heights in Taguig on the same day that I will fly back to Manila. Our flight schedule is 5:30pm and will arrive in Manila at 6:45pm. I just took some rest then off to Taguig at 10:00pm to meet my dormates.
We were together for 3 long years in UST Dormitory. It was the cheapest dormitory in the vicinity (Php 1,100/month). It is not advertised in the public and only those who were past medicine students or alumni knows about it. They varsity players and some residents stay there too so some thought we’re varsity players or some sort. It is located in the Charity Hospital of UST and it’s on the 6th floor. We stayed in Ward A on the first year, then moved to Ward F on the 2nd year and managed to stay on that ward until we reach 3rd year. On our 4th year, since most of us are working with our thesis, we have to leave the dorm. But throughout our stay there, we have shared lots of memories together. We all missed the dorm and our bonding too every night.
Anyways, It’s been around 5-6 years since we meet as one ward, except for Paula’s Christening (Lizelle’s daughter) I guess. However, we thought we will be complete that night. Minus Diane who is currently in Canada for work. Rest assured if she is here in Manila, she will be meeting us too. There were some misunderstanding and conflict of schedules that’s why Lizelle and Kristine can’t make it.
Nevertheless, we made the most out of it. We rented a 1 bedroom condominium in Taguig since it’s cheaper than going to a hotel. The condominium has a big swimming pool that can be used for all the guests. They had night swimming then bought some food and refreshments in nearby convenient store.
We had our own set of stories to tell and we are all happy to see each other again after a long time. We stayed there til the next day. Luckily most of us won’t be reporting for work on Monday since it was declared a non-working holiday. Also, it was only then I knew that we won’t be having work on Monday. :p

It was a nice feeling to reconnect with your friends who you haven’t seen for a long time. I might be doing that for the rest of the year. Hehe. 🙂
