so today...i found out that the guy who died that everyone has been mourning all over facebook is someone I used to know. We were never super close, but we were friends for a while. so i think he deserves to be mentioned because he's one of the people who kinda got stuck in my memory for some unknown reason...
so here it goes.
the first, and probably the most vivid memory I have of Mack Pattugalan was back in first year college. he was the friend of one of my highschool friends and we used to hang out with him and some other older guys in front of EGI.Being the awkward frosh, the first thing I did when i got to college was join an org. hello, Malate. On the day of the first ever General Assembly, I was with him and my friends in front of EGI. I was about to leave...
Macky: "ah you joined Malate? what section?" Me: "poetry"
Macky: "ah. Malate din ako eh. art. pero sobrang hindi active.hahahaha!"
Me: "ah talaga? G.A ngayon eh. pupunta ako dun."
Macky: "wag na! let's go to GP nalang!!"
*other friends join in and eventually convince me not to go to the G.a and thus, one of my first visits to GP was...born?*
other than that, I dont remember much, except hanging out at EGI or GP and random teasing.
so, Macky, thanks for being one of those people who made my first few weeks/months as an awkward frosh fun. i wish i had gotten to know you more.. i hope you're ok and happy where you are. infinite beaches await you my friend :)
