ACG Ways

          ACG. This is what my peers called. They are the best of the best. Friends that you can always count and lean on. Supports and sympathizes you in any way they can just to keep you happy and comfortable. They're always there for you to listen especially in times of hardships and struggles, gives you advice in times you needed a companion, hang-out with you when you feel down and lonely, laughs with you even with your corniest jokes, and most of all, they makes you feel that you were born as brothers. The bonding that can never be replaced of with anyone or anybody. You can say that you really found a new brother in them. Even though you're not really family associated with each other. They are friends, my brothers.


          This peers started on my secondary days. I was a transfer student at this school. During my first school, a student approached me and ask if where section I belongs. So I told him and luckily, where on the same section, II-Cattleya. Then he became my very friend on my new school. He also introduced me to his friends and companions. We all get along together. They were my buddies until fourth year high. All in all, we are five. The original ones. We were separated when we reach college. The other one enrolled in other university while the four of us enrolled in the same university but were assigned in different campuses. Only me stayed on the main campus while they go together in the same extension campus. A year later, one of us dropped out of college and work for the meantime. But he continues after a semester break. A year has passed and the other one transferred in a private university, so thus the other one. So we're only two remaining on the same university. After a year, its already on our third year, new friends came in and new hang-outs. Most of the time, they go to their newly found friends while the two of us wanders.  And finally, they introduce them to us. They are good, quite and looks that we can go along well with them. So we spend most of our free time going to mall,s drinking sessions, music jams and other non-sense things just to kill time. This are the things that keeps us busy during our college days. Time passes so quickly, some of us already graduated from college while other left behind, including me. But during those days, our groups becomes bigger and bigger, new freshmen came and joined our group. There are several girls who also joined our group. They are happy being heard they are members of ACG. Now that all ACG originals are graduate, we seldom see each other because of work and other things in life. But whenever there are birthdays or some happenings, we always saves time for it so we attend no matter what, unless there is an important matter to be made. Up until now, we are all the same, nothing's changed. We're still like the musketeers, one-for-all, all-for-one. I miss those days. . . Hope to see them again, after 2 years. . . . The ACG ways. Always there to comfort you. . .

Dreams

When I was a child, I always dreamed of becoming an engineer someday. Build houses, design roads and highways, construct bridges and dams and also build high-rise building and hotels. I thought that being an engineer someday will make a big difference in my life. I can fulfill my dreams and reach my goals in life. And also, I guessed that studying engineering is fun and exciting because you'll learn many things. I thought that it is all about analysis and application.

I'm about to finish my primary days when I always dreaming of it. So my high school  days are about to begin after two months of vacation. Here comes the entrance examination for high school, feeling nervous yet confident that I can somehow someway pass this examination. After long days of waiting, the result was out, and guess what?! I passed it! Hahaha. I felt overjoyed about it. I never thought that I can do it, but by luck, I did it! Childish mentality. Thinking of it, only four more years to go and my dream of becoming an engineer will come true. It's like holding your future at the grasp of your fist. But of course, there are still more obstacles and hardships to overcome. And also, having my family and my friends by my side, I know I can make it! So four years of high days has passed, here comes the graduation day. There comes happiness and now sadness because you'll be separated from your best buddies. But that's life, a never-ending adventure. So my college days are about to begin. . .


So college entrance examination goes near. Nervous and agitated, I take the examination. Hoping that I will pass it and so help me God. Many days has passed and the result was out, a letter from the university was mailed at our house. Feeling a bit of excitement but more frightened because of the result. Did I pass it or not So I open the letter and written there is the word "Congratulations!" at the top. I feel very happy. I can't explain how it feels. So I hurriedly show it to my mommy and daddy, and they said, they are proud of me. So I enrolled at the said university taking up "Bachelor of Science in Engineering", (for freshmen engineering, majors is not yet specified unless they are third year). This is the start of fulfilling my dreams. First day of school is about to begin, feeling happy and a little bit shy and nervous. Meeting new friends and classmates. Some are punk, emo, athletes, geeks, rich and normal students. Maybe I belong to the normal students. (Yeah, whatever!?!) Introducing yourself is he first activity before the classes begin. So I introduced myself, saying several information about me and other things that I like and dislike, and so thus my classmates. This happens repeatedly because of different teachers and professors. So the first day of my college day ends up. It was a very fun and busy day. As days and months passes, things getting harder and harder. Subject are so complicated., especially mathematics and engineering mechanics. It feels like my head is gonna blow in any moment. I said to myself, I don't want to continue anymore. But how about my dream. In regardless of hardship and difficulties, I somehow manage to get over it and continue this course. After seven years of studying, I finally finished and completed my college days and graduated as a civil engineering student. It feels so good. Something in life was fulfilled. It was a very exciting college life. So adventurous. Thinking college days has ended, this could be the start of my new life, as a college graduate. . .
