Since I am doomed to spend most of my college days inside a 21-floor building full of froshies, a.k.a Bro. Andrew Gonzales Building, I might as well blog about it.
And just like any other LaSallian stuff, Andrew building was not spared from Ateneo's remarks.
Prof: "Do you know that La Salle has a brand new 21-storey buuilding?"
Atenista: "Well (nag-iisip na ng ihihirit)...That's the only way they can go up!" (galing kay Mia 'yan)
Clap.Clap.Clap.Creative!Bilib talaga ako sa creativity ng tao kapag nanlalait.
So, before I completely lose track of what I'm supposed to blog in the first place, here is my top five list of people I meet in Andrew everyday.
1. MGA FROSH
Frosh is the Lasalista's coñotic term for first year college students. Just where this term came from, I have no idea. Though froshies (yes, it also has a plural form) have different personas, they are all basically the same. If you are a upperclass and you spend your entire day in this building, then you know what I mean.
They dress to impress, sport the latest sleu of gadgets, coño english and accent kahit filipino na ang sinasabi. but those qualities are quite common to all La Sallians, regardless of year, class, course and block. But what set the froshies apart from the rest of us? They don't know how to use the elevator. Either they blantly "round trip" or they keep on forgetting to press the Up button in the ground floor.
Tsk tsk.Kelangan yata kasama ang Proper Elevator Etiquette sa LPEP eh.
2. KOREANS...AND OTHER FOREIGNERS
Hindi pa ba obvious?:)
3. MGA CHINOY.
Ooops. i think I have to be politically correct here.
Chinese-Filipinos. Though I don't think that there is a big difference between chinoy and chinese-flipino.chinoy na lang mas madali pa sabihin!:)
Tang, Co, Dy, Sy, Lim, Go, So, Ma, No, Po.haha joke lang.
This just shows how strong the influence of the Chinese culture in the Filipino society. From SM to Mother Liliy to Kim Chiu. Wow. Ang daming na-contribute ng China sa Pilipinas. So isipin mo na lang kung walang Chinese sa bansa natin. Boo! Walang Mall of Asia! Boo! Walang hopia! Boo! Walang Mano Po anthology! Boo!
So maybe, the best thing that we (full-blooded Filipinos) could do to show our gratitude to Yao Ming's race is to address them properly. Start calling them "Tsino" instead of "Intsik", just to be politically correct.
4. SPICE GIRLS
A group of girls who are basically wearing the same type of clothes. Long shirt, leggings, metallic havaianas, oversized bags and oversized pair of shades. They are usually spotted in GP, Archer's Lair or Gypsies.
In short, sila ung mga babaeng parang may pupuntahang party ng tangahling tapat sa La Salle. At ang malupit pa nito, sama-sama pa sila. Kaya tuloy 'pag nakita mo sila, para silang gumagawa ng music video sa kalagitnaan ng Agno. Kulang na lang ay background music.
"If you wanna be my lover, you gonna get with my friends..."
5. THE VAMPIRE SOCIAL CLUB/PARAMORE
If you've seen the video of Chicosci's Vampire Social Club, then you probably know what the people in that video looks like. Now imagine this: one of those people is standing right in front of you, dressed in the tighest skinniest jeans ever - and it's a boy.
No he's not gay, not metrosexual either. He's emo. Eww-mo.
Punks not dead indeed. And of course, they have their own female counterpart which I call Paramore simply because they live and breathe emo words of the songs from the band. And they dress exactly the same way as well. And regardless of sex, black is their favorite color, worn-out Vans is their choice for shoes and both sexes wears (very very) thick black eyeliner.
Nakikinig din naman ako ng Chicosci at Paramore paminsan-minsan pero di ko talaga gets kung bakit kelangan pang magmukhang hindi naliligo ang mga tagapakinig nito.
Kasalan 'to ni Miggy Chavez!
Mga Hindi na Umabot sa Andrew Building:
- Mga DOTA boys. Of course, nasa Cheezy sila, nagmumurahan.
- GP peeps. Lasing na ung iba, ung iba tinamad nang pumasok o ung iba naman nakatulog na sa sofa.
- Mga ID 99 pataas. Masyado na silang matanda, hindi na nila naabutan ang Andrew Building.
- Mga hindi pumasa ng DLSU Entrance Exam. Aww, kawawa naman sila. Hanggang ground floor lang sila, di man lang nila naakyat ang building.
So there. I'm pretty sure you know a person from this 5 categories. Kasi naman 'no, nagkalat sila everywhere!Haha coño me?
Vavay :)
