This is a re-post, after the server crash last December.

Last December 1 I found myself chatting with Lagat, who’s now sailing the seas from Japan to US and vice versa. At that time he was in Japan, living life at Aton Palace Hotel in Kashima City with his laptop — an HP Pavilion DV4 1120US Entertainment Notebook PC which cost him $699.

• During our Y!M session he bombarded me with these words: fumigation, charterer, retard (nosebleed gamay)
• I forgot the number of days the vessel spends in the sea traveling but he said that they stay in Japan (US) for 5 days before going back to the US (Japan), transporting logs.
• They dock in Longview, Washington in US.
• An allowance of $56 and $500 (I cannot recall which is which)
• His cellphone, a Nokia 5000, is rendered unusable.
• Drank beer named “Draft One” with his mates prior to chatting with me
• Will be spending Christmas at sea.

Here’s a log of our chat:

According to a source, one of our classmates is already married and pregnant and was kicked out of expelled from school because of it. I really don’t have any idea or proof about this but the one who told me, in a way, convinces me that it’s true.

Edit: I have partly confirmed the validity of this story as of today, December 3 @ 14:35.

Mader is at it again — tikalon gihapon!

Helo lo. Am going 2 thailand 2nyt.. Dinalian. Sunday lng ko nkbalo. Godbles! Kitakitz sa pasko

Like what I said to him, he knows too well that I’ll post something like this here. He sent it last night so at the moment he must be already there, provided that the airplane was successfully able to land.

A text from Mia:

Along with Mati, Cabadbaran, Tandag, and some places in Samar according to her parents.

I just got enrolled today. It was quicker than ever, so it gave me a chance to get back at the dorm fast and take a bath. Haha. I believe this is supposedly the last semester? We’ll see…

It felt like I didn’t get to meet anyone of us at all during the sembreak but I sure made my break more interesting this time even though I merely stayed at home. The following were the times when I got off the house:

• 10.28 – Ate at Jollibee and window-shopped in Waldy’s and Central Warehouse with Ronna; saw Charis Doreen at Lexelcom and learned that Ana Marie is now having her internship in our alma mater
• 10.29 – Crossed paths with Philip who was on his usual vehicle — a bike
• 10.30 – Ditched playing Badminton with Jesha, Krysta Laureen, and Naiza Mae (I heard they then ate at Jollibee together with Ronna and Rey Alcin)
• 11.05 – Had the part two of my CDO Escapade but this time only Cherille Ann Marie and Lenny Beth were with me. John Winston (who already transferred to Liceo de Cagayan), Kharen (whom they said is currently in Davao doing a sort or practicum), and Rejinne Louwie all didn’t give a sign of physical existence

Now, we can get down to the real business of this post.

On Harvey’s birthday, I saw his mother and she told me that he will be arriving that night. Sir Escobal came into being at the Badminton court afterwards. But this is not the point here. Earlier that day, I met an old acquaintance and he/she told me about the pregnancy of someone we both know. I was really surprised because from then I was actually already joking about the possibility. If fate permits, one of our classmates will soon become a father.

P.S. If you’ll look around the site, you might still be able to catch who I’m talking about.
