Jasper Jose: TAGAYTAY ON A SCHOOL DAY

Its defense day and our professor is no where to be found. All the groups are all set for our defense in Advertising Conceptualization & Copy Writing that is all about promoting our course to attract enrollees and/or shiftees.

Usually our class starts at 10:30 am sharp, but this day, it was already 1:00 pm and there's only 30 minutes left before our class ends and our professor is still not around. Everyone was celebrating, not only because they can revise their proposal but they can also hangout while doing it with ease since we only meet once a week in this subject.

*Before getting to university*

My group mates, Pola, James and I are in somewhat panic because it was already 9:45 am and we're only getting off the bus and we still have to ride a jeepney - one of the most popular mode of transportation here in the Philippines - before we reach the university.

*Arriving at the university*

We still had to pass the famous cat walk of our school, through the freedom park, take 8 flights of staircases and pass by 6 rooms just to get to our room. Its already 10:55 am and we're already 25 mins late when we reached our room, but Thank God, our professor is still not around - assuming that she's around, for sure we'll be scolded and asked to present next or first if ever it hasn't started yet- everyone's still all over the place fixing what's have to be done..

After hours of waiting.. My barkada - tagalog slang for squad - decided to go to Tagaytay.

On our way to Laguna to meet our friend Alex at SLEX - South Luzon Expressway - Sta. Rosa exit before we go to Tagaytay, everybody was resting and saving their energy for laters trip.

As we get of the bus, Alex was already there beeping the horn of his car. We immediately load our bags to the trunk of the car and the roadtrip started.

James was the assigned dj for the trip since he's registered to Spotify Premium and since my phone was not around to use Apple's Updated Apple Music Subscription.

We got to Tagaytay City proper by 4:30 pm - I'm not quite sure because who cares about the time when you're enjoying everybody's company - since we can't stay too long because my friend Patricia and Brent aka Tom aka Owen aka AUB can't stay at Pola's place for the night because its too far from their home, we went to Starbucks over-seeing-Taal volcano instead of Sky Ranch.

Upon arriving the coffee shop, everyone was ecstatic and hyper - we don't know why.. or if I'm the only one who's feeling it - We placed our orders immediately - I'm really sorry Patricia for taking all the stars, I promise, next time, we will use your card. *kidding* HAHAHAHA We'll still use my card. Love you Pat - at first we talked about our campaign but we ended up thinking 'hey our prof ditched us might as well stop thinking and talking about the campaign and enjoy the break'.

I guess I'm quite lucky in picking hangout places, every time we go to a hangout area there's always a table available for us.

Then again, since there was only a few people around the store, we took loaaaaaads of pictures for when the time comes when we're all successful in life, we'll look back at these photos and reminisce college years and, hey, we saw the blue moon together.
