let me tell you about my barkada,

it all started when we were in the classroom.. hehe.. actually we know each other for a long time then, we were blockmates for 5 months then.. and we were actually a group but we did not have the so called "blessed bonding" haha.. the group was dubbed as BAGONG PARAISO.. because our professor in theology said we should divide ourselves into groups in which we were to form a BEC or a Basic Ecclesial Community.. at first, we were really joking about the name but then we thought it sounded weird like the other group names (e.g. SUGO, WARRIORS) so we decided to go for it..

all throughout the semester, we were the astigs along with SUGO because we were the only group who have the perfect chemistry (a combination of 5 guys and 2 girls).. we were definitely the group to be.. damn! hehe.. but as the semester goes on, something went wrong.. terribly wrong.. one of us was doing something which we thought was not right.. and so days go by fast and he was definitely out! so sad, but true..

and then there were six of us..

Paul Richard Uy

Popo. ahiya. kuya. thats what we call him, his one heck of a playah.. of all the chinese people i know.. he's the wackiest, the noisiest, the playah, and the HUNGRIEST! hehe.. he's the leader of the band.. err actually there's no leader of the band coz we treat each other equally.. we just consider him so. .coz he is the oldest amongst us.. and what's cool with him is we have the same birthdate!!! woohoo.. i wonder.. are those people born on the 22nd of December really this WONDERFUL?! harhar..


Patrick Angelo Rafer





Eloisa Hilario (the one who occupies more space on the pic)

Owiowibee, the martyr type.. hehe.. actually she's always in love, with *toot* come'on everybody knows who it is.. hehe.. she is always with patrick.. (sabay cla umuuwi.. dati) she and patrick would always be betting on something.. and the payment is due after school, when they go home.. they'll pass by blue wave at macapagal avenue and eat.. hehe.. aww... how sweet.. she is into blogging.. ang blogging.. and blogging.. hehe.. plus she is addictive in taking pictures of herself with jevinne..

Jevinne Mae Iligan

Jevinne, vyn or jovan as we call him/her.. haha.. is the ULTIMATE PLAYER IN THE GROUP.. hehe.. she is always in the "karir-mode" hehe.. everyday, every minute.. always on the phone, texting, calling, chit-chatting.. and NOISY.. ehehe.. she is the ultimate bunga-lista.. the bungangera and bokalista.. hehe.. but in the group she is the most responsible.. and she knows everything about us.. she's like the secretary.. in which she really is the secretary of our block.. hehe.. she's also my coffee-buddy and my fix-buddy.. she's always on the go.. so be very quick on catching her..




Jan-Michael Gabriel

mics as we call him, is an all around talent.. a singer, dancer, guitarist, and a sports guy.. he is also loud and always hungry just as all we are.. he is also into fashion.. this guy just like me and jevinne is always late.. not because he lives very far like we do but because he is lazy! hehe.. he always gets up in bed very late like 6:30 am for the 7 am class.. hehe.. jevinne, me and mics is the core group.. hehe.. we were together since the first semester.. and the three of us are really close.. he is also always in the mall (rp manila) and in baywalk..




Rommel Abad
