Ottawa for the w-end

An impromtu whirlwind w-end in Ottawa for a) Ate's birthday and b) Chris's last w-end in the country before heading off to Australia for med school. Who knows when I'll see this guy, so luckily, Mag was also going home that w-end and I got to spend some time with Chris (while they were playing video games in the other room and I did my essay) and with Ate (at the Lawyer for some good dancing action).

Ate, myself, Cheryl and Elaine stuffed after dinner.

Anton and I with some crepe dessert stuff. Filipino parties have the best food. Love it.

Me and the guest of honour. You probably can't tell, but he had just finished bawling in front of a room full of people. Who's a wuss now?? And no, I wasn't... uhh.. crying. I'm stonecold.

No party at the de Jesus's is complete without the 8-screen video gaming, poker, and endless rounds of karaoke. Mike, you are forever branded Mr. Lonely. This is what happens from poor song selection.

Bomber #4 and Bev's Birthday Bash

A birthday isn't complete without a celebration at Bomber, so waiting in line for almost 2 hours was worth it to celebrate B.D.Bradle's 24th.

The birthday baby and.. wait.. no, that can't be... is that Jack Bauer or Butch??

The party people ready for a good time. Chris (sometimes known as Christ, who show people The Way), Rohit Camera-happy Sharma, birthday Beverly, Arvind aka Butch, 5.5 Straight Dan, and Just Aliya.

Rohit and I so very happy to finally get in at almost midnight.

Matching Baby Blues, that hardcore brown guy Wessy and myself.

If anyone deserves hugs on this day, it's the birthday girl and one from none other than Graham Cracker.

Counterparts of the two in the picture above.

Everyone, meet my soulmate. We're bound by the cosmos. And a scarf.

Is the night over for the birthday girl?? Not without a little slice of heaven.. and by heaven, I mean pizza.

Photo op with the Campus Pizza man. And a long, cold walk to the Castle, then to Lester, then on home.

Bomber #3

A different spin on Bomber that night: Melo, Rosie and Mary were in attendance. Systems people, not so much. Interesting night, as it was the celebration of the COMP/ECE Symposium held earlier that day, so a lot of Wessy's brownies were present. Also, remember Simon who Melo thought was Steve who wanted to "get with all of us"?

This is my awesome new roomie, Anna, and myself before heading off to Bomber.

Okay, so have no pictures actually at Bomber, but at least you know what I looked like that night.

Bomber #2

Picture-crazy Rohit captured pretty much every minute before, during and after Bomber this second week of classes.

Bev and I: Bomber #2. Take note of the shirt. It was HOT STUFF all night. I kid you not.

Bev and I with the one and only Derrick. I saw this guy a lot that night. Maybe it was the yellow shirt I couldn't miss.. or perhaps the beer belly.

DJ and Bev. Remember in the summer on Canada Day when a bunch of the Systems people came down for the w-end and we all went out and I beat DJ at air hockey THREE TIMES IN A ROW?? That was awesome!

You know you're a Waterloo geek when you're all wearing matching UW sweatshirts at the bar. Here's Ankur, Rohit, Ganan and Aasthaa displaying their UW pride. Arvind and Anja are not properly dressed for this picture.

First Rev of 4B

First week of school, second night of partying. A fitting last first Rev with the original first rev ever crew; Melo, Rosie, Jamie and I.

Pre-Rev pictures.

I can always count on Tine to be at Rev. Yay!

First Bomber of 4B

Zero problems getting in cause we arrived at about 6:45pm to beat the line. And that we did. Apprently, people that got there at 7:00pm waited for TWO HOURS! Insane! First night was great; met some nice new people, mostly from Bev's SYDE class, and seeing some familiar faces after a year off of school.

Rohit, Aliya, Arvind, Aasthaa and Dan.. Bomber regulars.

Birthday girl, Maggie, myself and Mag's roommate Andrea.

Tine! Another Healthie in the mix.

Slightly scandalous, but a sign of good times...

New Year's Eve

Second New Year's Eve spent at Gell & Kat's. And here we thought it would be just us... ahh, but does it matter? Still the same crazy barkada.

There's no such thing as a decent picture with these boys. Honestly.

No barkada event would be complete without matching shirts. Look carefully. Even the shirts underneath match.

Family Feud-ish, don't you think?

Fitting, especially after Yanni's Professions-of-love-for-Freya display last New Year's.

Chit-chatting with the ladies; Kat, myself, Jan-Jan and Sheila.
