Random notes, just so that I will always remember

Jotting down notes because I easily forget things, I promise I will keep these memories forever! | Also keep these memories in my Spotify playlist!

From Katipunan to Taft Ave, from U.P. Town to MoA, from 315 to 1201, from Lan Kwai to Fun Roof, from BGC to Makati | Last pic of us together (not full team)

• Moza was the first Indonesian camper I spoke to, Mai (VN) was the first non-Indonesian camper I spoke to, and Santi was the first camp leader I spoke to
• The two-fingers-then-a-finger-in-front-of-nose code
• Adee was discussing how Andrei always takes a picture of his hair and bandana in 0.5 mode from a certain angle (Andrei is not Andrei without his bandana)
• Moza and I are both introverted, we were so tired when we first met at NAIA so we were in a totally awkward silence (there was Ghazali also)
• THE COCKROACH….
• It was the first day, I hadn't got a roommate yet and I was like “WHERE IS MY ROOMMATE” the whole day… The next day I woke up with SOMEONE IN MY ROOM I was so shocked (it was Vannoula, arrived at 4 AM?!)
• Moza, Dhita, and I, the Indonesian believe that Katipunan looks a lot like Cibubur, a district in East Jakarta
• On the first night, we explore Katipunan and I ask Rafique and Adee (the Malaysians) if rendang and batik are from Indonesia or Malaysia (dispute)
• Vannoula and I are the perfect roommate (315), we’re both FOMO but LAZY as hell— now I regret that I didn’t go out a lot…
• Why is 303 A LOT BIGGER than 315?!
• The day before the day of my death, in BGC I said that I’m quite good at drinking because I’ve never been drunk before. then I’m the one (and the only one) who DIED #humbled

• Thank you for Andrei and Gabriel (and Moza and Adee and Michael, and ALL OF U GUYS #sobbing)

• Adee and I were always ARGUING all the time
• Ordered like 2 liters of alcohol in pop up and drank more than half of it by myself
• After pop up, Moza, Vannoula, Ten, Adee, and I went to Lan Kwai and it was 15 minutes in heaven
• When Mai/Mind (WHAT’S UR REAL NAME ACTUALLY?) took a picture of me in the museum cz I looked like a part of the museum (I’M THE ART)
• I was thinking of bringing my camera, in case my phone could not take a picture… The second last day in Ateneo, MY PHONE FELL AND BROKEN (I didn’t bring my camera)
• MY ATENEO HAND FAN from the campus tour quiz, I left it in GK Enchanted Farm for Nash (hope he still remembers me)
• I had lots of races with Nash, then I lifted him up because he wanted the high jump, then I needed to follow him everywhere, SPORTS DAY?
• Nash said, “I made a new friend!” “You, caecilia!” omg my heart was melted
• It was in Batangas when someone called my name, “Oh, it’s Caecilia!” but because of the swimming eyeglass and snorkel I couldn’t recognize the person and said, “Hii, you are phat, right??” NO IT WASN’T PHAT, it was Heng… Adee was underwater and thought “What is this Caecilia talking about”
• When I had a mental breakdown in the van after the first day in DLSU, QUITE EMBARRASSING but everyone was stressed so it was ok
• Adee always pointed out how I shouted in the first day in DLSU because I thought the staff were doing their job halfheartedly
• The sisig I (and Andrei and Heng) ordered in Manam WAS SOOO GOOOOD
• The sisig I (and Rhod, Dhita, Earl, Heng) ordered in (idk the name) was QUESTIONABLE

• Timothy: what is the capital city of Bangkok?
• WHY IS TIM USING THE IMPERIAL SYSTEM? R U FROM THE STATES?
• Rafique can’t eat pork because it’s haram BUT HE DRANK THE ALCOHOL? “sikit je tak pe” macam mana lah budak ni (translate: “only a little so it’s ok” what is this guy)
• Dhita, Moza, Adee, and I were trying to do something in SM By the Bay but we were all too scared and too broke to try something (We really wanted to try the drop tower but the queue was LONG)
• I was looking for a Wi-Fi signal in NAIA then I realized I was alone, then I was sobbing because I thought “What if I can’t keep our promise to meet each other again”

• Thanks JR for introducing me (and the others) to Prince!
• The day before my last day in the Philippines was so random: closing ceremony — Intramuros — Jollibee — BGC — drink near la salle idk where — billiard
• After billiard, we arrived at the hotel at 3 am just right on time to wake Moza up (I didn’t have a hotel card so I needed to go 2 levels upstairs from JR’s and Heng’s floor because I was with them, then I knock on MY OWN ROOM to both wake Moza up and to go inside my own room)
• After I woke Moza up, I called rooms 905, 809, 1601, and 605, to wake Adee, Andrei, Gabriel, Dhita, and Vannoula if they wanted to send Moza off cause her flight was SUPER EARLY. ANDREI WAS TALKING NONSENSE when I woke him up
• The last day, I woke up without Moza beside me and I felt empty that whole day (I miss Moza so much)
