THE ART OF TRANSFERRING: KLY’s Last 24 Days in BU

As I promised on my last blog entry entitled “AKO, IBOTO N’YO: Karapat-dapat ka ba sa Student Council,” here comes the first of my two-part blog entry “The Art of Transferring” entitled “KLY’s Last 24 Days in BU.” Actually, the title was inspired by the popular Japanese movie Deathnote 3: L’s Last 23 Days. As I did on my latest blog, I also want to write this one in Filipino language so that I can truly express my point of view but since this is just only a narrative type of blog, “Taglish” will do.

And that was it! Iyan ang aking narrative report about my last days sa BU. Actually, I am planning also to make a journal about my life here in UP but since it’s late na rin, this is mu 7th week here already, I am going to write na lang a semestral report every semester. It is about sa kung anu-ano yung mga nangyari sa akin sa nagdaang semester.

Honestly, habang ginagawa ko itong blog na ito, nalulungkot ako. It just gave me an opportunity to reminisce all the good memories with my friends there. Darn! I miss them! All of them! Naalala ko tuloy yung mga nilagay ko sa presentation video ko sa youtube. If you want to see them, search niyo lang yung KLY’s Farewell Video to His BU Friends, 5 parts yun.

My next blog would be about my transferring – a personal blog, KLY’s style. Try kong sabihin lahat sa abot ng aking hinagap. As of now, I would like to entitle it as “The Final Verdict: Bakit Ako Lumipat?” Thank you for reading my blog. If this is your first time to read my blogs, you can also read the previous ones. Thank you and good day!
