~ Remembering ~

I distinctly remember that very early morning of September 1, 2007. It was 10 minutes before 4am when I arrived at school (As "ordered" by *ehem* some people, we should be there at 4am so that we won't lag behind schedule for BOS-VST). When I arrived, I thought it was safe and that no participant was there yet. A few minutes later, Peter, a batch 12 volunteer arrived. I went to 7-11 for a while to get some stuff then when I got back, I saw this guy snoozing by the then information booth at the South Gate. Later that morning when we got to talk, he introduced himself..

RJ
(sabay handshake..soo like RJ :p)
ID 106 MFI
(uy, MFI din cya :p)
Shiftee daw siya from Psych and from MFI, he wants to shift to BSA daw..
(WOW :p first time kong makarinig ng ganun, haha!)

Apart from all the small chitchat, about courses, ROTC and other stuff, he claimed that he was really that first one to arrive that morning. 3:30 pa lang daw nandun na siya, sa North Gate nga lang. Umaga na raw kasi siya nakauwi kaya nag-pack na lang siya ng gamit then dumerecho na sa school. Kamusta naman di ba?

Anyway, that was my first memory of RJ. Flashbacks and reruns of memories have been playing over and over this past few days, although that is already expected.

I can't say that RJ and I were really close. I can name a whole bunch of people who know more about this guy more than I do. We shared laughs at COSCA..Whenever stress was building up at the office, he'd simply say "Chill lang people, chill" just to lighten people up. There were also talks during a few late rides going home. Once, he shared his plans of not shifting to BSA (Accountancy) anymore and how he was slowly growing interested with MFI (Finance). He even shared future plans about his thesis and asked for advice on profs to take and possible career moves. Hearing him share all those things made me smile because of all the potential I saw in him and his future. *sigh*

Though we only have the great memories to look back to,
wherever RJ is now, we know he's happy and smiling
He's one heck of a great guy who will never be forgotten.

Chill. Smile. *Apir* :)
