loyalty

loyalty...

it has always been a question of loyalty. it's always been the basis of everything, life, friendship, love, business, war, affiliation etc.

Why talk about this?

Late this afternoon was my scheduled interview in my new law school. yep, i'm transferring to a new one because of academic reasons. i have yet to blurt it out to the world for such is so not "blurtable". :P

Well, let's get going, in my interview earlier, series of questions were asked but among those questions, perhaps the most difficult to answer would be those related to loyalty, loyalty to the new institution that with open arms accept me as a part of them. Of course, to please them, i answered that my loyalty now rests with them, that loyalty for me was never an issue, that they could be assured that i would be more of a bastenian than a bedan. At that time, i didn't really know if i was saying the right thing. As you all know, I started out with san beda, learned a lot from them and suffered a lot as well. My mind was so convinced that all I am now, I owe it to Sbc.

After the interview, while i was pondering over how i answered those questions, i realized that it was but right that San Sebastian questioned me with regard to loyalty. I am now fully convinced with my answers, and i think they're right. Now that I'm moving to new grounds, my allegiance should move as well, the entirety of it. Allegiance to San Sebastian alone. It's just like applying for a new citizenship/naturalization, you relinquish your previous allegiance and accept a new one. As for San Beda, don't get me wrong, i will be forever thankful, thank you for making me tough, for training me, for making me realize my worth, and for failing me, but that would be it. I can't move on if I'm forever looking back.

I remember myself saying, that i will always be a LION no matter what, but now, with pride, i think i could muster to say,

I am now a STAG,
formerly a LION,
but will forever be a MAROON... (naisingit ko pa ang UP?) hehe

P.S. "Now that you're in baste, you can never wear something from beda" hahaha
