Block K.
I was searching for a perfect word for the letter “K” in Block K and this is what he found: Block K: Block kugtong, keen, Kelvin, key, kiddish, knavish, knightly, knotty, knowing, knowledgeable1. All these adjectives describes Block K pretty well but is finding for the “perfect” definition for it. Kugtong is quite rude, keen is quite unrelated, Kelvin? Well we’re not temperature. Key? Yeah, answer key! Kiddish? Too inappropriate (we’re in college, hello???). Knavish? Do we even knave? Knotty? Yup we’re nuts alright! Knowing? Well, it’s too deep and knowledgeable is quite exaggerated. I give up! I just can’t find a perfect word to describe Block K. And so, I went to ask Teresa. And little did I knew that she has the perfect word, and you know what that word is? It’s KIAT. Yes, Block KIAT. Why are we KIAT? Well allow me to enumerate why Block K is Block KIAT:
- We have our own system and rules.
- We are always apart from the other blocks. Like when the entire blocks already has the info, Block K is always left behind! (But we don’t care!)
- We have different personalities! Such as: an antisocial who speaks in the third person, a dalagang bukid (Jonard), transgender comedian (Roel, Mark Lloyd, Lloyd Alvin aka Cher Lloyd), a family (Justin, Mark Lloyd, Lloyd Alvin), mutual lovers (Haidee, Donna, Chithra, Eza), a V.V.R.K (Paula), bullies (Pena, Siegfried, Gonzalez, Cabaron, etc.), lovers (Mj & Jake), a “I don't care what's going on" (Carl), a beauty queen(Venice), a shunga (Lloyd Alvin), a Junquera Girl (Ciara), 3 idiots (Jm, Eman, Weinster), a sound recorder who emits the words the teacher says to her (Galvez), a politician (Siegfried Ruiz), singers (Tinunga & Codoy), a religious brother (Aldrich H. Barrios), a cosplayer (Rena), an out-of-this-world-word-user who defined accounting for us (Jason Tabasa), a Muslim (Alnor), a sexy blonde (Jubrena), and many more!!
- We have our own definition of accounting which is: awesome, overwhelming, and tricky (credits to Jason Tabasa).
- We have many funny and unforgettable moments. Well, who wouldn’t forget the fight between Barrios and Francis (good thing they’re friends now)? Or the jokes of Lloyd, Roel, Mark, and Carl? Or the times when the block teases Jonard and Francis and Jonard blushes? Who would forget the tree planting activity? And many more! There’s so many, I can’t even enumerate them all.
- Codenames. Anyone know Gor? Or Ratatouille? Or sea monster?
- We have amazing instructors like:
- Sir Vano. Well, we’re not Block Kiat anymore if we hear his name alright. “Guys, what will you do if there is a ….”
- Ms. Malimas – who would not go LSS or more like LWS (last word syndrome) to Ms. Malimas accents and diction? “Prepare your red pens”, “Column one, seat number three”. “Dear”. I myself got LWSed with this. Oh and one last thing: FOLLOW instructions!
- Ma’am J. Well, we have to admit, we sometimes got disappointed with our scores because YOU’RE NOT FOLLOWING HER WAYS!
- Madam Pontevedra. Well, this teacher needs no introduction. Basta masaya talaga sa BA 11.
- And many more!
Well, if you’re still unconvinced that we should be called Block KIAT, then see it for yourselves! Indeed, we the Block K shared lots of memorable memories and experiences worth reminiscing in the years to come. This block will be unforgettable since this is the very first block we belonged to in our college life. This block was the one who cared for us, loved us, and shared us what college really is. I know that we will never get to share the fun and exciting experiences we had during our 5 months of being together as a block. Soon, we will depart from our own ways and life in different perspectives already. But do not forget Block K. Why? Because she was the one who taught you everything. Till we meet again Block K… for the next five years.
