Dropped

Cecilio Cumba has been officially booted out of DS as of 7:20 this morning. Yes, dear, he's out. And you know what? I will miss him. Not that we have something to muse over or what, or maybe there's one, and perhaps because we've been on the same class ever since and regardless of all his misdemeanors, he's always been good, as far I'm concerned, to us.

I've no recollection of long chats with him whatsoever-- I remember approaching him only on times that I'm told to remind him of this and that-- all reminders and warnings and notices as far as my memory could try reach. It's sad that I never had any chance to get in real touch with him before he got dropped out of school.

This morning as well, upon learning Cecilio's discharge, Vincent surprisingly went into an emotional, scary yet sweet disposition I'd never forget.

"... yung pinagsamahan naming ni Bogs mula first year hanggang fourth year... *sob* "

Like Vincent was fifth to the last person in the world that I'd ever want to see cry over a guy friend. It's such a shame that I had to compare him with other guys who don't care about anything in the world but hot girls and themselves. It's such a shame that I misjudged his character only for the reason that he's a consistent black-listed student.

If you're gonna ask me, I would say he's way better than those brainy virtuosos because at least he knows how to get real not only to himself but to other people as well. Same is true with Cecilio, they both have this certain personality that I strongly admire-- only that there are times that they find it difficult to control such due to aggravating situations that they end up doing off beam things leading to unlawful conclusions of their actions by not-so-understanding people-- that would probably explain Cecilio's misery right now.

Sir Greggy is unswerving on his warnings. Personally, I am scared-- seven more months ain't a short while to run away even from a sole misdeed. Seven more months, one to two misconducts and you're out. And what's worse is that being a graduating student is not an excuse. And Sir Greggy's got all the fucking point. Yet again.

That he had the guts to boot Cecilio.

But anyway, life should move on. Life must move on with Cecilio whereas I, would learn over time to eke out a living without Mister The One to Blame.

As for Vincent, oh what a righteous heart you have, my dear. I simply admire you for that. You don't need to worry, Cecilio will be fine. He will move on. And I'm sure that the strong solidarity formed between you guys will never sod to pieces for years to come.

PS.
Something from Mister Cecilio Cumba:

Sorry for not being the best...
I tried hard naman eh.
Sorry for not being perfect...
Sinubukan ko naman eh.
Sorry for not being what you expect me to be...
Sorry ha,
Si "Bhogs" lang kasi ako!

Something from Marion Bernard:

"...mataas respeto ko sayo. Magkamatayan na pag may nang-anu sayo..."
