Scratch Cards, Bingos and Raffles – I always lose every time I play these. I'm not a lucky person, I used to be, but because of a Facebook post I didn't share, seven years of bad luck have befallen me. Last May, I played another match where I was destined to lose. I tried my luck in CRS and I was hoping that I would be given a bouldering section, but no, I didn't get it. And since I didn't have anyone on the exact same schedule as mine, there were several times last semester where I was forced to eat lunch alone. There were a few times I walked alone. But the good thing about not being part of any bloc is that I got to know more people, made more friends. This semester, I was pretty sure I would make more friends; I was right. It was the second week of my second semester when I was put in a group with four other people. One of them is Jek Tabaog. At first glance she seemed like an introvert, I thought she really liked to study and her hobbies only included: studying, studying and more studying. Second is Dave Taduran. I was also in a class with him last semester, so what I will write is my first impression of him in our Kas 2 class. Dave seemed like a quiet guy, the one who stays inside when everyone else is out. And he really doesn't talk much, we were in group last semester as well and everyone in our group, including me, was already laughing while Dave hasn't even introduced himself yet. Next was Abbie Villanueva, unlike the other two, she seemed like a fun-loving, talkative, bad girl. At the same time, I also felt like she was a snob because every time I looked at her, she looked at me with this blank, unsmiling, almost blatant face. And finally, Daphne Villanueva. She looked like the who... middle of paper.... The amphitheater would probably murmur this quote: "Everyone wants happiness, no one wants pain, but there can be no arc- sky without a little rain. .” – in my ear again and again. The LifeBox tambayan, like the amphitheater, would tell me to always look on the bright side of things. It will also remind me to never stop believing and to remember to thank Him for everything He has done. And finally, if these places stood together, they would say in unison and in the loudest voices possible how important friends are and how wrong I was about my bandmates. I play games of chance and most of the time I lose. I registered in two different blocks and yet neither was granted to me. I was in a group with people I didn't have good first impressions of but luckily the unshared Facebook post forgot to give me bad luck and for once I was lucky to be wrong..
