May Animo KPB?

DLSU Alumni Homecoming 2018

10 years since graduation.

I initially joined the Alumni Homecoming Council back in August 2017 thinking I would have discounts in getting an Alumni Card (that costs 5k pesos btw or $100) or not having to pay Homecoming entrance fee (which I still ended up paying anyway).

I thought the service that I would render would waive me from these fees. But, I actually ended up spending MORE money by attending the meetings and "spending" precious moments of my time attending meetings that I barely could pay attention to.

Oh well, it's the experience that counts.

I did meet a lot of alumni.

Maybe we'll cross paths again someday, maybe not.

The dancing and singing was a fun experience.

I did not dance. I did not sing. I just watched as the older alumni enjoyed the time of their lives. All I could think of was how fun it would have been if I had my own peers enjoying the show and ballroom dancing with the dance instructors.

Oh the generation gap is real.

But I don't regret attending the homecoming!

College 2008 represent! Only 4 people from our batch attended. lol 

Our table. 

A lot of the older alumni I met were equivalent to my dad's age and some could even pass as my grandfather. They were convincing me to join the homecoming every year from now on.

Hey, titos and lolos, it was really REALLY really fun. I valued the words of wisdom. But I don't think I'd see myself putting this on my calendar as a yearly event. I hope to see you around somewhere and maybe we'd recognize each other. But for now, I have my 30's ahead of me and I know there are other things in life that I should be experiencing and exploring.

"Papunta palang po ako, pabalik na kayo."

It's hard to "come home" to a home that I never really left in the first place.

I will be more than happy to attend a homecoming event when Lasalle is already really proud of what I have accomplished after leaving the campus grounds. 

Thank you DLSU! Animo!
