Scratch cards, bingo and lotteries: I always lose every time I play. I'm not a lucky person, I was but because of a Facebook post I didn't share, seven years of bad luck was upon us. Last May I played another match in which I was destined to lose. I took a chance in CRS and was hoping that I would be given a block section, but no, that wasn't the case. And since I didn't have someone on the same schedule as me, there were a few times last semester when I was forced to eat lunch alone. There were a few times when I walked alone. But the nice thing about not being part of any block is that I met more people, I was able to make more friends. This semester I was pretty sure I would make more friends; I was right. It was the second week of my second semester when I was placed in a group with four other people. One of them is Jek Tabaog. At first glance she seemed like an introvert, I thought she really liked studying and her hobbies only included: studying, studying and more studying. The second is Dave Taduran. I was also in class with him last semester, so what I would write about is my first impression of him in our Kas 2 class. Dave seemed like a quiet guy, the one who stays in when everyone is out. And he doesn't really talk much, we were even in a group last semester and everyone in our group, including me, was already laughing while Dave hadn't even introduced himself yet. Next is Abbie Villanueva, unlike the other two, she seemed like a fun loving, talkative bad girl. At the same time, I also felt like she was a snob because every time I looked at her, she stared at me with this blank, unsmiling, almost grim face. And finally Daphne Villanueva. It looked like the here...... center of the card....... The amphitheater would probably whisper this quote: “Everyone wants happiness, no one wants pain, but you can't have a rainbow without a little rain ." – in my ear over and over again. The Tambayan LifeBox, like the amphitheater, would tell me to always look on the bright side of things. He will also remind me to never stop believing and not to forget to thank him for everything he has done. And finally, if these places huddled together, they would say, in chorus and as loudly as possible, how important friends are and how wrong I was about my group mates. I gamble and most of the time I lose. I enlisted in two different blocks and yet I wasn't granted any. I was in a group with people I didn't have a good first impression of but luckily the unshared Facebook post forgot to shower me with bad luck and for once I was lucky I was wrong.
