Ganito kasi talaga ang college spirit ng med. At siguro, kung hindi ako pagod na pagod nung araw na yun at may lakas pa ko para magblog, my words would be more harsh.
This is not even about being required to support your college at a lantern parade. Alam naman kasi natin na nandito tayo para maging doktor at hindi para magparade. This is about keeping up with your responsibilities.
Di ba part naman ng pagiging responsable ang pag-amin na hindi mo magagampanan ang isang bagay at na sa halip ay iiwan mo na lang ito? The responsible side of you would come in by letting everyone that would be affected know that you're not gonna do your part. People would understand anyway. They have to. Sure, they would frown, roll their eyes and shrug at you, but that's just about it. After that, you can tell them that at least you were responsible enough to let you job go and inform them that that you're doing so.
Kesa naman hindi.
Frustrating kayang mag parade kasama ang dean niyo habang ang mga katabi mong college ay may kung anu-anong gimik tapos kayo wala man lang kahit isa. Yung tipong mukhang (at hindi malayong) hindi man lang magawang maging proud yung dean niyo dahil nakikita niya yung effort nung ibang college tapos kayo halatang 10 seconds bago magparade niyo nadetermine kung anong gagawin. Yung tipong halatang walang college unity yung buong parade niyo dahil lang ang katabi niyong colleges ay nagawang makapagproduce ng pare-parehong t-shirt (na maganda) at mga gimik (kahit cheer man lang na bago) tapos kayo hindi. Sobrang nahiya ako para kay dean.
Oo, mababaw lang lahat ng to. This won't even affect anything that our college was able to achieve in its 104 years of existence. Pero kasi, yun nga yung point. Dapat mababaw lang to kaya dapat kayang-kaya na. Some upperclassman told me nung imed days that he/she (nakalimutan ko na kung sino eh!) believes that it is the students themselves that make this college really great. Hindi yung facilities, hindi lang faculty, at kung anu-ano pa. At that point, I believed him or her. Pero ngayon, medyo na lang.
We didn't need an altogether very elaborate gimik, like those of the other colleges, during those times. Hindi naman kelangan ng props, ng costumes, o ng kahit ano. All we needed were instructions on what to do. kahit sobrang simple lang. More so, all we needed were additional people who would cheer the kolehiyo ng medisina chant - and I'm not talking about the same people who made the lantern because it's a given that they would be there but those weren't really involved at the making.
Yun lang and it would have been fun shouting the same cheers we imed people shouted when we came to Diliman for the centennial parade. Yun lang and the whole parade would have been fun doing again.
Ok lang naman, then again. We still won third place! (at natalo natin ang PH at Pharm! :P)
(kuha ni marcus)Congrats Jason at Marvie at Hopee! At sa lahat ng taong nagbuhos ng pagod sa lantern na to. It's still the most elegant lantern in that parade. Ang ganda ng execution! Woohoo!
