Tribute 2007: To Happy Endings

Compiled by Aguman N&CA

It happens every year when there will be people who have to say goodbye. In our regard for you who have been family for the best part of our college years, we wish to share our sincerest love.
Not for ourselves alone.
This oath my friends are what created every other legendary Aguman member that sat on the benches of our tambayan. While you are all eager to sashay your way to the “bigger world”, remember to share this oath with others.
Graduation provides an opportunity to exercise another oath made: Forever in the UP Aguman I will belong. You may have bid your farewells, but you are and will always be part of this org, of this family. We in UP Aguman are very proud of you. To happy endings and new beginnings. Kudos!

April “Pril” Parilla
BS Statistics
Kaputul 2004A
No words can express how fortunate I am to have met you. You are kind, smart, funny, sexy. Sige na pen! And ravisant. Never did it come to my mind that friendship and trust cost so cheap. Sulit na sulit ang P80! My continuing journey inside the Aguman would be simpler and effortless if it weren’t for your thoughtful gestures and helpful hints. Because of you dear buddy, I feel blessed. I still have a long road to tackle but knowing you’re with me and I know you will always be, I know I can be better than what I am now. Please take care of yourself. Though often times you may not hear this from me. I love you dear Buddy. I mean it, thank you so much, for saving this prodigal buddy of yours time and again. Stay happy! ~ Jowie
Si April? Tahimik, mahinhin, habulin ng boys, kikay, masipag mag-aral, religious, at higit sa lahat – maganda! Pero seriously, si April ang pinaka-astig na bestfriend, sa buong universe! Hahaha! Congrats ‘Pril! Yehey graduate tana! Sana magka-BF ka na! Bakanta maka-relate naka kekami, hahaha! Yun lang! ~ Hazel

Argel Joseph “Gel” Casupanan
BS Computer Engineering
Salagpi 2001A
I’m one of the members/alumni who’ve known Argel from the time he was an applicant up to now that he is graduating. Kulelat ya yan niang aplikante ya, pero binawi ne niang mem ne. He’s an active mem, or should I say hyperactive? Haha! He contributed so much for the org. I’ve seen his sleepless nights during his Pautakan and the other Pautakans, and when he made great plans for the MemCom. That’s one of the things I admire about this guy, he puts his heart to what he does. Most of the new mems may not be able to see this, but trust me when I say he loves Aguman so much. Now, he is graduating – the org will miss its go-to-guy when it comes to making Physics questions in Pautakan, the ultimate “sawsaw” guy (‘cause he meddles or concerns himself with other matters apart from his committee’s or literally mahilig yang sasawsaw ‘pag ating magjoke king tambayan!) The org will never forget this one wacky, loud, silly guy who never failed to put smiles and bring laughter to the mems. To you ‘gel, in behalf of the org, God bless you in all your endeavors. Show the outside world what you’ve got. Remember - you’ll always be loved by the org you love. ~ Maan

Israel “Kers” Suarez
BS Architecture
Kasaup 2002A
Tuwang-tuwa ako nang makilala ko si Israel noong first year kami. Siya kasi ang unang kapampangan na nakilala ko tapos arki din siya. Ako yata ang nagyaya sa kanya na pumunta sa acquaintance party ng Aguman noong 2002. Pero siya lang ang tumuloy sa application. Siya pa ang nag-encourage sa akin sumali, pero third year lang ako na-convinceJ. At noon ko lang nalaman na “Kers” pala ang tawag sa kanya. Itanong niyo na lang sa kanya kung bakit naging Kers ang nickname niyaJ. Tulad ng tipikal na kapampangan: palabiro, masayahin, masipag, mabait, ma-diskarte, mapagmahal at maraming chicks??? Biro lang, marami lang siguro nasisilaw sa kagwapuhan at ka-machohan ni Kerong. Pero alam kong loyal yan sa kanyang girlfriendJ. Ganun yata pag isa ka sa “Matimtiman Boys”. Mabuti siyang kaibigan, nakikinig sa mga kwento mo at kahit anong ibuhos mo sa kanya. Malupeeet mag-drawing yang si Kers, at magaling mag-design. Tunay na Aguman at tunay na tao. Kers, maraming salamat sa pakikinig at tulong (sa arki at sa paggawa ng mga backdrop). Nalalabi na ang mga araw natin dito sa UP. Hehe. Sana maging makabuluhan ang mga ito. Kita-kits na lang sa arki world: sa projects, sa board exams! Ingat and God bless. ~ Nins

Dennis Rey “Dens” Manabat
BS Geography
Salagpi 2001A
I have not played “Speed” with anybody as spirited as kuya Dens *haha! “sandali lang Daph, dahan-dahan” haha!* He is blessed with that biting intelligence and always tranquil feel. When he comes around, siguradong naka-cap yan, pero ngayon, ang hair niya sumasabay sa galaw, haha ^_^ natural pala yun, kala ko rebond. I really had a hard time searching for his peekchas to put sa tribute at Aslag, camera shy daw kasi, haha! Kuya Dens, dacal salamat sa lahat *oha, half-kapampangan yunJ* You don’t know how much thankful I am for having you as a friend, really. You are one of the very few people that understand the phrase “being-there-for-you.” He has this unique way of making people happy. He has a lot of love for God and for …J the org. I will miss you kuya Dens! Take care! Aja! ~ Daphne

Maria Jean Avy “Jeandoi” Dimabuyu
BA English Studies
Kaputul 2004A
Dapat na ba akong magbigay ng message? Makakasama ka pa naman namin ng one year diba? Ehe…ate Jean, naku! Isa sa mga pinakamabait at corning agupip na nakilala koJ Pero in fairness, she can surely brighten your day kahit super duper corny ng mga jokes niyaJ Isa rin siya sa mga pinaka-OC na tao na pwede mong makilala…pramis, ‘di yan titigil sa paglilinis hangga’t may kalat! Isa rin sa mga agupip na sobrang nagpapahalaga sa org. Official photographer ng Aguman kaya pag yan gumraduate na, mawawalan ang Aguman ng taga-upload ng pix, eheJ Pero kahit ganun pa man, alam naman namin na lalabs mo kami at patuloy pa din naming mararamdaman ang presence mo. Luvshoo ate Jean, Ingat parati. Di ko sasabihing we’ll miss you kasi magkakasama pa tayo! Ehe! ~ Fergie

Ate congrats! Sa wakas, graduate ka na rin! Goodluck sa career! Mamimiss kita. ~ Ruth
Si Ate Mao-uie? Mami-miss ko siya kahit isang taon lang kami nagkasama…astig na buddy, you should get to know her moreJ Over sa sungit pero normal lang yun, pag nakilalala mo pa siya, lalo mo maa-appreciate…unpredictable? kasi dapat pang kilalanin. Indi dapat kalimutan…exclusive na tao and yet, I like her the way she is…buddy, I like it! hehe! ~ Rose

Haidee “Dei” Tungol
BS Business Administration
Sampelut 2003A
Sugar and spice. Si Ate Dei yun. People may have the impression that she’s suplada but I can attest that she’s not. This drop-dead gorgeous is one of the sincerest people I have ever met. When she tells you she knows how you feel, it’s amazing that she really does *hugs por you ate dei* She can also humbly give justice to her goddess-like name *deity username nyan sa laptop, di ba? haha!*.
Ate Dei, Na-miss ko na yung PI days natin kay Ramos, haha^_^ My summer then couldn’t have been better without you. Thank you for sharing those little stories that made us closer, thank you for the gift of trust because nothing can get any better than that, thanks so much! O ano, nakarating ka ba SM Bicutan? haha^_^ Congrats! Keep safe always! ~ Daph

Niña Reanne “Nins” Gomez
BS Architecture
Kaputul 2004A
Ate Niña is responsible and will never let you down even if she is busy. She is sweet and has a very angelic face. I wish her good luck and congrats. Though we have not spent that much time with each other, I still learned a lot from her. Dedication and discipline made her keep running in the track of life. I am really lucky to have met this wonderful woman. ~ RJ
Chikinins, good luck on your future career! I know you’ll make waves budz! ~ Joman

Leah “Lei” Salta
Bs Business Administration
Sampelut 2004A
Ate Leah is smart and strong-minded. She definitely deserves the award “not for herself alone.” Ibang klase ‘yan! Super masipag at magaling na head, she will definitely go places. She is passionate, hard-working, and a proven-and-tested true friend to the very sense. Carl Jung once said: The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed *oha, ginamitan ko pa ng chemical analogy, haha!*. That’s what happened to me when I met my Ate LeahJ Congrats buddy! Salamat sa lahat-lahat-lahat ^_^ Keep inspiring other people! UP Aguman will definitely miss such a wonderful person like youJ Daan ka pa din parati ah. Take care! *big hug* ~ Daph

Mary Rose Celine “Cel” Dagdag
BA Political Science
Sampelut 2003A
Celine is a beautiful person, inside and out, just like me. Haha! Kidding aside, Celine is a strong person who knows how to handle life’s pressures with grace. Pero minsan, baliw ‘to. Crazy. Nuts. Berserk. Silly. Foolish. Heart. Hehe corny. Minsan lang naman yun. Pero kahit ganun s’ya, mahal ko ‘to. Aylabyu pare! ~ Ngot
Wali, congrats!ü Yehey! Graduate na din kayo! Don’t be too excited to get a job ok? Rest ka pa at mag-enjoy… After having a long vacation, good luck naman sa job hunting! I know you’ll find the right job for you and I’ll pray for that of courseü. Stay pretty! I love you so much! Mwah!ü ~ Jade
