Reminiscing the old days

Since I had nothing to do yesterday (only in the afternoon...I just finished a “forever-rush” task!)…I decided to open old files from my external hard drive. I opened the folder, “Videos” because of that cute little icon that Randy had configured. The filenames were not familiar to me…so I decided to open a single file…Nah! It was the 2004 cheering competition that I have already watched for x number of times. Then I opened a folder with obscure title...wow, inside the folder were 2 files entitled “Bangkok_8-05(1)” and “Bangkok_8-05(2)”. Yehey! These must be the video files that Dexter (one of my beloved batchmates in PwC) took while we were in Bangkok,Thailand in the year 2005. And my guess was right, I saw Dexter’s face when I looked at the Details tab of the Windows Explorer (yep, yep…”Windows”…I’m in the office, remember?). So I opened the 1st video. I patiently watched the video, fast forwarding sometimes (hehehe…of course I can also see in the video the people I didn’t like! Ha!). Then, the video reached the scene where Donnabelle, Mel, Wey, Dex and me are gathered together in a room…that was the room assigned to me and Donnabelle. I was laughing very hard while I was watching the video. My office seatmate would look at me to ask why. After watching the video, I suddenly miss my batchmates who I left in the Philippines. There are thoughts in my mind which will forever remind me of them:
(1) Wey has this tendency to put on “Post it notes” when she runs out of undergarment.
(2) I am afraid of brushing my teeth alone inside a hotel’s CR…and my greatest companion? Donnabelle!
(3) Donnabelle is the best roommate ever! =)
(4) Dexter is the most organized person I’ve known.
(5) Mel can stay all alone inside a spooky room…
(6) When Donnabelle, Wey, Mel & me gather together…for sure, we would talk of other person’s attitude and well-being…bad! That’s why we’re called – MEAN GIRLS!
(7) Dexter can endure our unstoppable mouth without protest or complaint…hahaha!
(8) If you want to have meaningful but funny shots, Mel would be the best subject!
The video lasted for more than 1 hour. Sad to say, I didn’t finish the video. When I went home last night, I told myself:
“I REALLY MISS MY BATCHMATES!
Hope they’re here with me…”


Note: My 4 other batchmates (Ivy, Les, Coco, & Jessamyn) were not in the video because they went outside the hotel that time…but for sure, they are still remembered. *wink*
