Anne,

Kumusta na? Pagod ba sa trabaho? Ilang taon ka na nga

ba? Tagal na nating ‘di nakapag-usap eh. Ako? Heto,
pakiramdam ko bente-uno anyos pa rin, pero hindi ako
nagrereklamo (bakit naman?!). Balita ko kung saan-saan ka
na napunta. Kwento naman d’yan!

Hay Anne, sana minsan naman magkita tayo sa isang

lugar, wala lang, para magkuwentuhan. Gusto ko kasi
malaman kung ano na pinaggagawa mo. May natupad ba
sa mga gusto mo? Ano na hitsura mo? Ilan na ang Chucks
mo? Buhay pa ba yung mga dati? Uy itago mo ang mga
yun mahal na yan ngayon! At kailangan kong itanong—
nakapunta ka na ba sa Japan? Kung hindi pa… bakit?!?!

Basta kung may oras ka daanan mo lang ako dito. Alam mo

naman kung saan ako hahanapin ‘di ba? Kung wala sa Doll
House, malamang nasa Galian, dalawa lang naman yan e.
O sige na!

—Anne

If one should wish for a young lady radiating with almost

perfection, I wouldn’t call on a genie from a lamp to grant
me this, but simply call a girl by the name of Ginny. Ginny
is a person who could fool you for one who just walked
out from a fairytale. Her simplistic yet captivating beauty
reigns over any princess fascination. Only such can
emanate from a heart just as beautiful. Flowing from it is
her love for others and a fiery passion to be a teacher. Her
creativity and optimism is an inspiration to us and for other
people as well. Although of small frame and seemingly
timid, Ginny should not surprise you of her intelligence and
honest opinions; or even her great sense of humor coupled
by wit and charisma. A modern and independent woman
of the times, she has dreams of a happily-ever-after-ending
planned for reality. She shall build her own school as castle
of knowledge, with, like all fairytales, a prince charming
by her side. Knowing this, Ginny isn’t just for a bed time
story over night, she’s already a legend personified.

Her distinct chirpy voice, accompanied by her giddiness,

makes anyone not think twice that it’s Trins down the
hallway. Being born with artistic talent, her energy is
usually spent on the creative aspect of projects rather
than the content. Her creative juices plus thoughtful heart
equal sweet surprises for her friends, which undeniably
touches the soft side of those she loves. On one hand, Trins
is passionate about teaching, and on the other, she loves to
travel and hit the beach. While chocolate may be the usual
indulgence of many, for this lady, it’s got to be vanilla! She
even smells like it!

Think “nice” with extra toppings. She is the most pleasant

bowl of your favorite ice cream surrounded by the most
colorful balloons you loved as a child. Think rainbows,
cotton-soft clouds, and birds chirping on the first day of
spring. You’d be thinking pretty much about—who else
but Trins!!!

“It is time to come to your senses. You are to live and to

learn to laugh. You are to listen to the cursed radio music
of life and to reverence the spirit behind it and to laugh
at its distortions. So there you are. Nothing more will be
asked of you.”

—Herman Hesse
