Last week, I attended our Org’s Final Rites. It’s been a long time since I attended an Org activity because of several different reasons. Good thing, I was able to make it this time and I was really glad I attended the FR. When I was in college, I was a die hard UP MSS member. I was really active then and even became an officer for two years. However, something happened that made me lose my drive in participating, but the loyalty remained to be strong and the will to help the org never went away. I actually hesitated attending the FR because Papa arrived the day before the Final Rites. However, Mama told me to never forget my Social life. So I decided to go. When I reached UP, I know that my roommates (the 239ers) wouldn’t want me to attend the FR because they want us to spend time with one another. However, I still ended up attending the FR because I realized that I really wanted to.

The best thing about the said event is that I was able to see people whom I know, became or are still as loyal and dedicated to the org as I am. A huge fraction of the ‘02 batch attending the FR is really worth the night. Even though we actually did nothing the whole night but to sing and chat about work, life, gossips and a lot other topics, the night was one of the best nights for me in my MSS Life. I still don’t know when I’d get another chance to attend an Org affair. I hope I can attend the Eng’g Week this year because that’s one of the best weeks in the UP Engineering Life.
