It was my last time to be a TNT so I really gave it my all. I made sure that each and every moment was fun and worthwhile. It was great. You could see passion, service, and magis all around. In exchange for my tired bones, my horrible (bedroom?) voice, and my feet that hurt like hell were thank yous from my freshies, pats on the back from my TNT partners, inspiring messages from new TNTs I've "touched", the glint in all the TNTs' eyes every single time we danced the Chuga and the Banana, the spirit that would live on. It's the best feeling in the world and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

My blocks D3 and R14 were blocks from heaven. I didn't have a hard time at all. They made everything easy for me. They're my little angels. My partners Quino and JB were very supportive, game, and open. I am so thankful that I got them for partners. All the volunteers were so nice and we all shared the Atenean spirit.

My teacher in Philosophy, Mr. Albert Lagliva, had once quoted from Father Ferriols' Pambungad sa Metapisika: "Kapag nasabi na ang lahat ng masasabi, and pinakamahalaga ay yung hindi na masasabi. Hindi na kayang sabihin, basta nararamdaman na lamang." I could try to tell you how it felt, but I could never capture it in words. It's all in here. All inside my heart. When I see my freshies and they greet me, when I see someone wearing the ORSEM shirt, when I hear banana, I would feel extreme happiness. That extreme happiness can only be brought to me by TNT.
