Honestly, I didn’t think that we’d become "us". The Courtship stage was so brief that I couldn’t help but blush everytime I think about it. And I thought i was raised a conservative. Then again, you can’t help it when you realize that that special feeling inside you has already consumed you and you’re just dying to express it.
So we aspired to become Master Debaters by coaching each other on debating tactics. Sometimes, we watched dvds or read magazines while practicing.
We’ve also Come out in the open. Nagladlad. Lumabas. Nag-out. Oo, bakla kami. keber namin sa inyo. che! How else can you explain our pathetic record with the opposite sex? Basura!
I’d like to introduce you guys to the cast of the Four Horsemen:
Remir Macatangay is our leader. Our head tikbalang (as we call our president). No, it’s not because he’s often mistaken as one (promise, once lang tlga nangyari un). Sa gwapo niyang yan, mahiya naman kayo na naisip niyo yun in the first place.
Galit sha sa mga Chubbs. Especially those na nakikita niyang nag i ice-cream. One time, naglagay sha ng flyers ng Latasia sa bag ng dalawang (lower year) law students. Hindi sha kinausap for 2 weeks after that.
He also prides himself in being the best comedian among us. Sabi niya, "dapat naman funny ako. Kung hindi pa ako naging funny, eh pano na yun? eh di gandang lalaki na lang ang meron ako?" Minsan masarap sha sapakin sa mukha. Ganun ang lambingan naming magbabarkada 
Emer is our Master Debater (and lover as well). It’s just that no one wants to reciprocate his feelings. Matalino naman sha. Sobra! Mabait pa, caring, sweet. Cute din daw sha sabi ng mom niya. I’ve spoken to her. True story. Wag lang daw mag b bonnet anak niya kasi nagmumukang Turon.
BTW, hindi rin totoo that he’s tried to commit suicide before. He just wanted to see if matalas yung knife. In fairness, parang butter daw wrist niya. Soft skin sha coz he uses aloe vera lotion.
Jon
is our enforcer. Lakas kasi body niya. Dati shang pulis sa Marinduque.
Kuro-kuro lang yun. Hindi talaga ako sigurado. May tatoo sha sa shoulders niya. "Batang City Jail". Tambayan daw niya nung bata sha. Hanggang ngayon hindi kami makatingin sa mata niya.
Di sha mahilig sa mga blogs. Lalo na sa mga pinagsasabi ko. So maybe I should shut up now. Baka magdilim ang paningin niya.
Si Christian ang pinakamayabang sa aming magkakaibigan. Sha daw kasi pinaka gwapo. Magaling sha mag recit sa class namin. Everytime natatawag sha, he kisses his biceps and whispers "Ben Wallace" before standing up. Buenas daw yun. Good luck charm ba. Favorite term niya "Dami-dami". As in, "Ang dami-dami namang pinapagawa" or "ang dami-dami namang digests".
Pag may naririnig din shang nag-e-english sa tabi niya, Umiinit ulo niya. Seryoso to. One time when we were in Bicol, we overheard a blockmate of ours converse with an English speaking actor. It went something like this:
lady blockmate: We saw a whale shark as big a car!! (at the same time gesticulating wildly)
Sid lucero: That’s nothing, I saw one as big a bus!
Lady blockmate: No shit?!
Sid Lucero: Shit, Yeah!!!
Christian walking away muttered: Yeah, yeah, whatever whatever.
(all the while flashing his gangsta sign, using his fingers)
The last and probably the least among us, is of course, myself.
Before law school, ang tingin ko sa sarili ko, mabait ako. Matalino. Good writer. Athletic. Magaling kumanta at sumayaw. Sometimes, I even hear a few stray "you’re not so bad-looking if I just squint my eyes, like so.". Sa loob-loob ko, eh kung pumikit ka na lang din kaya nang tuluyan?!!? Basura ka. BEACH.
Again, that was before law school. Dito sa eskwelahang ito, dalawa lang ang image ko. Taga-bakod, o di kaya Basura. Neither of which, is true.
Nakatawa lang ako pero naiinis ako. hehehhehhehehhe

In fairness to us, it is rare that we’re collectively branded as a snobbish group. More often than not, we go out of our way to talk to people in law school. Maybe it’s because we’re becoming more and more sentimental since we’re about to graduate in a couple of months. Ngayon pa lang, we already miss some of the people we’ve gotten to know.
yes, including the lower year students we’ve gotten to know and love
(kung madalas ka naming lokohin, isa ka na dun)
