Hello, Goodbye

Things I Learned Whilst in Makati Carpool:

1. The party don't start 'til I walk in.

2. He/She who smelt it dealt it. Unless it was manong driver!

3. People who have on their earplugs and are "listening to music" are not necessarily always listening to music.

4. Don't wake someone up if they're asleep and have rested their head on your shoulder. Do wake them up when they start to drool and/or inadvertently open the window. (I'm looking at you inoc dazic.)

5. Good luck on getting to school for 730am class :))

6. The declaration, "I know something about you," is the second terriblest thing anyone can say to you. #chismisisbad

7. The terriblest thing anyone can say to you is, "Sorry, we left na. :("

8. Carpool Crush. *shudder*

9. What happens in the car doesn't always stay in the car but actually lives on in Facebook.

10. LADY GAGA IS THE BEST AND A VISIONARY AND POSSIBLY THE BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD. ALSO MARIAN RIVERA IS NOT HOT AT ALL. /ally'd

11. Amanda Alegre wins every race. She doesn't even have to know she's in one to win it.

12. If you want to freak certain people out *coughsevicough* be a dude and text him with :) :D :p :* XD :"> and/or Hey Sevi-wevi.

13. Medyo Near, Almost there, On Edsa na, On my way, Very near, Five minutes away, I'm in dasma na, I'm entering church na, Sorry! My mom needed the car it just got back, etc. all mean the same thing: "DON'T LEAVE ME!"

14. I LIKE GLEE AND HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL, WHAT?

15. It's mandatory that everyone sing along to Defying Gravity, I Want It That Way and SHOTS.

16. George is NOT a boy.

17. It is not called "the molehole."

18. Seriously, "molehole?" I mean seriously.

19. "Who's the ride at (insert time) on (insert day)?" is the WORST question you could ask. There's a schedule people.

20. On the other hand, "Can I ride?" is the most lopsided question ever.

21. The most difficult question to answer is "EDSA or C5?"

22. When trying to figure out if you can fit all those people you said yes to can fit into your civic, remember that girls count as 1/2 and the guys can always commute.

23. Some people don't seem to see you when you're not in the confines of the car. A simple nod or wave would suffice bastard.

24. I'm riding because you're riding :)

25. I implore you all *coughjavicough* STOP TEXTING SHORTCUTS. PLEASE.

26. That's what she said!

27. It's funny when your friends get drunk.

28. Chismis is the only thing we care about.

29. Makati Carpool > Any other carpool

30. Don't be late :p

The last one is the most important because we'd be one failure of a carpool if that happened regularly.

Okay. So...

...

...For some reason, I don't know what to say now. I guess I should say thanks, for everything. For being friends, great friends and in some really cool cases, almost family. I'm going to cherish the really short time we spent together on the way to school or Forbes haha. Thanks for being awesome, all of you, I'm being incoherent, I'm sorry haha. I know you all might think this is "hella super gay" but I don't. Because I had fun. And I'm going to miss it. So everyone, take care, enjoy college aaand in case I don't see you, good afternoon, good evening and good night. Bye. :)
