---This Journalism class president stays up late, and regularly goes to bed at around 5 am. So what does he do during those times? Jay talks over the phone, absorbs radiation from his computer, listens to pirated CDs, watches interesting VCDs, designs political schemes, or simply gazes at a blank wall and get sentimental all by himself. No, he is not on anything, this guy merely thinks a lot.
Jay lives by the adage "it is better to be a lion for a day, than be a sheep all your life." When the situation call for it, he pretends to be a real toughie. For him, fear is just a "figment of the imagination." After finishing his degree, Jay is expected to fill in his dad's position as the publisher of a widely-circulated tabloid.
He sees himself as a trendy millionaire at the age of 27.
Nevertheless, reading my friends' write-ups opened an opportunity for me to reminisce that part of my past. I cannot deny that my stay in UST has been one of the best times of my life. When I returned to the campus this afternoon, The changes - from the construction of new buildings to demolishing worn-out ones to open up spaces between landmark structures, left me in awe.
Too bad, I wasn't there anymore to witness its completion, which they started shortly before our end of time.
Anyway without further delay, here is an edited write-up that closely reflect the state of Jay after five years. Things didn't happen according to plan so far, but... who knows what future holds for him.
This very sensual text operator stays up late, and regularly goes to bed at around midnight, only to wake up at 5 am to prepare for work. So what does he do during those times? Jay surfs the internet, thus leaving the phone busy all the time; absorbs massive amounts of radiation from his computer at home and in his work-station; listens to stolen MP3's he downloaded from a peer to peer software; watches interesting DVDs he brought from Quiapo; designs schemes, which he himself doesn't understand the purpose, or simply gazes at blank monitor screens, thinking about what sentimental subjects he could write for his online journal. But no, he is not on anything, this guy merely thinks about the past and the future a lot more than the present.
Jay lives by the adage "life goes on no matter what." He got out of troubles in his recently turbulent past by merely thinking that along the way, things that are hard today would just be a mere marshmallow in the future. Jay loves to pretend that he's a toughie, for him, fear is just a "chorva that needs to be ignored." He claims though that he's still in the process of purging fear from himself. After finishing his degree, Jay finally filled in his dad's position, after his untimely passing as the publisher of a widely-circulated tabloid.
Unfortunately, six months after his take-over, not even his journalistic experience could save the already bankrupt publication from closing shop.
He sees himself as a trendy millionaire at the age of 27 - in dreams perhaps.
