I never thought I would be making another feature about people again. I told myself, one profile feature would be enough in this section. Besides, I just wanted to try it -- how it feels telling some little bio, especially for my loved ones. But geez, I can't help but to post this. It has been three weeks since the music fest ended. However, I can't get enough! All thanks to the three amazing guys I’m with this year's UP Fair, they made one ordinary girl motivated with life again. DADA I hate Chemistry. I super hate Chem when I was still studying. I promised myself not to get a course in college with this subject or never have anything that involves it because I know things would only fail. It’s just my mortal enemy in general and I don't like how it goes. Hilarious how the name says "chemistry" but it is sooo complicated, so hard to pair up. G na g, ‘di ba? But of course, destiny gets back at me and it’s silly… I ended up with a Chem major! Yup, my boyfriend is a Chemistry degree holder. While I don’t know why he loves it so much (and why I curse it a lot) but maybe opposites really do attract. And the more you hate, the more you love. *lolololol* Dada and I planned to have our Valentines' date in his university as UP Fair was also happening for a week long. He has a class on the 14th and I like the bands better on the 15th so we celebrated a day late. It's okay though! Thursday night to Sunday morning naman kapalit eh. Damn it though, my growing wisdom tooth hurts so much, it even gave me fever that day. I took a leave from work in order to recover that afternoon. The magic happens at night anyway. Also, he has work until six so, g. I took all my time to rest and heal and thank Him, I did! Well... Since I was a bit sick, instead of tiring myself in the stressful MRT trains, I decided to take a P2P or point-to-point bus in Ayala going to UP Town Center. Grabe, it’s already 100 pesos! Fine, it’s worth it though, I napped greatly. Hehe. And I am proud everyone, I am not a baby anymore. I can go to UP with not wanting Dada to fetch me anymore. Hashtag fledgling to be a strong and independent woman! Dada said he loved me better now because of this weekend together. I kept on thinking the reason why he uttered that. Well, maybe because we have accepted each other already. As in all those flaws and imperfections, the strengths and charms, and everything in between. Dada and I may argue on almost everything but then I realized, we also have common denominators when it comes to food and music. Why we also went last year yet, this time is different. I now know we are yin and yang. Six years being together may seem long already but actually, there are a lot of things we can still learn about each other. Differences may not be bad at all. Because of Dada's love for Chem, I met the other two chemists who changed the way I think and believed in bigger things. I got to admit that this got me an eyeopener to step out of my comfort zone and overcome all the hates because who knooows, it might make me a greater person. KUYA KEN My biological brother was only given 20 hours in this world. I had no chance to meet him but I really wish I experienced to have a kuya. Although I hear they can be annoying at times (and by that I mean, all the time lol), people would also say that they are the sweetest too. And thanks to this night, through Kuya Ken, I felt like I had one. Well, I kinda know a few things about this guy because Dada always tells stories about his friends. And, I met him even before this event when their lab had a thanksgiving lunch out with the plus ones (yep, very sossy, all of them have dates) to celebrate SB's birthday, TJ's thesis proposal, and Kuya Ken's thesis defense. Dada is that close to them, they usually hang out together. Bromance is real, guys. So gay; so happy for them! Hahaha! But nah seriously, their group is a powerhouse. *werpa, pre* On Thursday of the UP Fair week, Dada and I went to their lab to hand Kuya Ken's ticket. Dada said he doesn't like to be a third wheel. I looked forward to seeing him pa naman because I have a little happy crush on him. Luh? Haha! Good thing (or not) I got dizzy in the crowd, Dada and I sat down. There I saw Kuya Ken chatted him, asking where we are. I guess he changed his mind. And since I felt Dada's disappointment that we left because it’s Mayonnaise (!!!) and our place was already nice, (almost in front! but jumping jologs, ugh) I made a move, hoping he would feel better. Kuya Ken is kinda his life peg and I thought inviting him to come with us would be a win-win for all. Well voila, it was! It was a great night with us three together. And that night, I saw why Dada got inspired by Kuya Ken. Glancing for the first time to Ken, you could see a pretty boy in him. However, do not be fooled. This guy is way crazier than you least expect him to be. Hahahahaha! Kidding. Kuya Ken is nice! What I meant by that is… Mataba kasi utak niya. He is that smart so he releases jokey stuff and thinks of random kalokohans in his head. Kuya Ken’s leg-pullers aren’t annoying unlike the others though. You would just laugh so hard and know it’s plain humor. Yeah, he is the definition of witty. Actually by that, Kuya Ken made me feel like I have a kuya I can look up to now. Given that being silly are natural to boys, I was inspired in the other way that I want to be like him. Like, aba, who would not want to be successful at such a young age? That fact that he balances acads and work, plus leisure time and games, edi ikaw na po! I sense some brother-like to Kuya Ken who can serve as my role model. Bonus: Kilig when he offered me his Vicks VapoRub when he knew I didn't feel fine. Sounds funny for you but sweet to me, gags! I didn't expect that coming. And hello, even Dada hasn’t thought of doing that when I felt like fainting. Asdfghjkl! Also thankful he shared kwek-kwek with me when I wanted it so much because Dada doesn’t eat street foods and hates the smell of the vinegar. At least, my craving got satisfied. Hah! Love it how game he was on my trips as well. Wish we rode to the Flying Fiesta or Anchors Away but KJ Dada eh. I then wonder how fun it is to have a brother who can spoil and spite you at the same time. Anyway, moving on... EJ My first love would always be drawing. Then I discovered my writings are pretty good. But then, people around me introduced singing and dancing. Also, guitars! Until I opened my eyes to movies. Then fashion. And gahd, I was already graduating from high school and still don’t know what I want to take. I know a lot of things but I wasn’t sure what to do with my life. Ever heard of jack (or maybe jane because I’m a girl) of all trades, master of none? Yup, that happens. And it happened to me. Seems cool, huh? But actually, it’s not that. I got confused about where to go. Feels like I don’t know anything at all. No expertise, no edge, no worth. During the last day of UP Fair week, which is Saturday, Dada's words kept on bursting about his friend who is in the local indie music scene. He said he'll gonna play that night so Da was sooo excited, you can see diamonds in his eyes. Although he idolizes Kuya Ken in some ways, this fanboy-ing is different. He kept on looking on his Messenger if EJ has replied already. He was very proud that he knows the time of their set. And guess what, he even left me just to meet him. Ugh, this stage friend slash male fan, ugh, so cuuuuute! But upon meeting each other, they came to me too, though. Ang bait po ni EJ Edralin. Idol ko po 'to. Suportahan ang Autotelic at lahat ng bandang Pilipino!!! EJ, the synthesizer of Autotelic, happened to be my klasmeyt (our endearment in Adamson University)! I barely know anything about him but as a batchmate, of course, I am proud of him. EJ is a licensed Chemist and he is having the time of his life by doing what he loves. I am happy I knew him even for just minutes or an hour because he made an impact on me. He told us that the band only did front acts before. But looking at them now, they are one of the crowd’s favorite! As in inaabangan sila. I then realized I must not regret being handy. I guess my parents just wanted me to take opportunities. And now, now that I'm already decided to be a blogger, that's what's more important. EJ reminded me implicitly not to quit. There are others with this kind of dream but so what? Focus on yourself, on your chosen craft instead. EJ awakened me to aim and do more. So now, I can’t wait to the time when I would excel in my work and fulfill my potential too, OMG!!!!!
