I Got through the Final Rites!
Whew, it’s finally over, its finally done, I’m finally a member of UP ALCHEMES, and best app to boot! Whoohooo. The two day “ceremony” started at 6 o’clock in the morning with an exhaustingly fun version of “The Amazing Race” around UP, forcing me and my group-mates to, walk from Vinzon’s Hall to the Checkpoint area, although I can’t say I enjoyed much of it, I lost 3 pounds on the other day’s fasting, no eating, just drinking and walking a lot activity so its not a total loss. (I weighed myself right after I came home)
Although I can’t say too much about what actually happened, it’s all supposed to be “confidential” so the next applicants won’t know what to expect. Anyway we ended the hellish night with a shout of “UP ALCHEMES Make a difference, break free” and a jump into the pool. Afterwards we lighted candles and recited the oath, and proceeded to some kickass drinking!
Well, the others we’re kickass drinkers, I can’t say much about myself because I only remember patches of what happened. Weheheheh, I haven’t had that much to drink since Yocbu’s birthday. Well that is if you measure everything in terms of ethanol intake. The brandy was 35% alcohol, I drank a bottle of San Mig light which is about 4% alcohol. I don’t know how much brandy I took, I just drank anything anyone gave me, maybe someone gave me rufees. Joke! I do remember swinging, on a swing, if that makes any sense, and when I slept I could still feel the swinging sensation. Hehehe
I woke up with a bad hangover, well not as bad as my first one (that was only my second hangover) just one tablet of Advil and I could cope, and we played poker until about 11:45am, and then it was time to go home, which is something I did not do immediately, we hung over at the Tambayan, or the “Lounge” as Halley likes it to be called, and sort of “recharged”, meaning we sat there doing nothing finding the energy to actually go back to our homes after the exhausting activities the day before.
Oh and yeah, the first paragraph is just two sentences. Bwahahahah
