Last Monday, September 3, after rounds and rounds of serious shouting, hyperactivity, chopstick pinching, bashing and ennumerating and scrawling the Buddhist 8-fold path on the board, Jan Formalejo (my blockmate), Chris Tiu (yeah, you read it right) and I won the dinner treat at the 25th floor of the Philippine Stock Exchange plaza that Ms. Coo was giving out as a prize. It was also the treat that my prof was giving to her beadles in her classes, so Nyko and Sheena were going with us too.

Sheena, Jan, Nyko and I were sure to go to the dinner on the 5th, but one of us wasn't. Chris said that he might not go with us because his afternoons are full. He was really busy that week, given that he had to train every afternoon to night for the upcoming games in UAAP (Ateneo vs. La Salle is this Sunday already) and he wanted to go see Kobe Bryant that day. Well, he's Chris Tiu afterall.

He had the choice of giving up his slot or joining the winners from the other class for brunch the following week. He seemed to agree to do the latter. Nyko, Sheena and I texted him and asked him what his plan was, then asked him to join us instead. He replied, and he ended up joining us that afternoon (At shempre, kinilig ng sobra si Nyko.).

Never in my college life did I think that I would have the chance to talk and interact with Chris Tiu, but hey...unexpected things like this make life fun. He is really nice and very down to earth. He used to be my crush way back in high school, and now, I proved the theory that crushes disappear after social contact. Talking to him was like talking to everybody else.

I loved Ms. Coo more after this dinner. Because of her stories about her trips to other countries, I was inspired to do the same when I get older. What remains is my concern for the money factor though. I hope I can get rich fast and travel soon. :)

The food was great and we talked about lots of things. Finally, before we left the building, we took a lot of pictures. I'll steal from Sheena or Nyko's multiply when they post them already. I'll share the pics with you guys. :)

Nice meeting you, CJ (the beadle from the other class who joined us)!
Thank you Sheena, Nyko, Chris and Jan for the company!
Thank you Ms. Coo, for the treat!

I hope there are more classes in my whole college life like this.
Maybe someday, if I decide to be a teacher, I'll give a treat like this to my students too...that is if I'll get as rich as Ms. Stephanie Coo. :)

Ms. Coo and History 16 will always be remembered.
