scar(r)ed
Scar(r)ed. The news came as a shock to me as it did to my high school classmates. Jaime, one of my HS classmates committed suicide dawn of Saturday. We do not know the reason(s) why he did it. But we are not in the position to judge him. Not only because I am scared to talk about him, but because I also do not know the facts, and I was never the one to judge people who commit suicide.
Jaime is one of those guys in high school who never got in trouble with anyone. He was always cool with anything. He never got mad at anyone, not even to those who tease him. He was such a nice man.
Jaime, wherever you are right now, may you rest in peace. We are constantly praying for you.

On a lighter note, I am now part of the Summer Staff of the Varsitarian. I really do not know if it is a lighter note since being part of the Varsitarian is not in anyway light. Being part of the Varsitarian is a dream come-true. No kidding. It is one of the things I set my eyes onto when I entered college. I took the entrance test last year and luckily I passed. The specialized exams followed and it was no piece of cake. It was tough. It made me doubt my skills. It made me think if Journalism is really for me. I passed the test and then came the interview. At the interview, I was asked light questions mostly. They even made me sing our high school hymn. Hehehe!! The same night I received a text message congratulating me for being part of the Varsitarian.
Being part of the Summer staff of the Varsitarian serves two main purposes: 1. to train those who passed; 2. to evaluate those who passed if they are worthy to be part of the staff come June.
This is no walk in the park. It is serious business. And when I say serious, I mean serious. But it also has its benefits. I get to meet many people in the process of gathering data; Lunch and merienda during our summer workshop are free woohoo; There are also some kuyas in the staff another woohoo!!
I don’t know if I should be happy because I am spending my summer doing worthwhile(?) activities instead of watching dozens of dvd’s. Hehe!!
Here’s to a bright future in Varsi.
Go find your princes while I play with frogs. God bless us all!!
