Weekends with Archie

Saturday Night Love!

March 11, 2007

SNL?  That was the question that intrigued every senior as we received the invitation to one of the most anticipated event of the year - the senior's pull-out!  SNL then means Saturday Night Love!

I have to admit that I was really surprised because the event was unexpectedly fabulous.  I never imagined that we would go as far as Laguna and would be staying overnight in Paolo Gayod's privately owned resort.  Of course, there is the usual blindfold, group challenges, food, performances, videos, and letters for the seniors but everything was done beyond what we seniors expected.  The food were delicious and indulging!  The performance by Darling was incredible!  The place of Paolo was absolutely great!

After the formal program, we went swimming in a warm and refreshing pool (actually it felt like jacuzzi), sang songs with the videoke machine, played a small basketball game which ended soon because the ball is nowhere to be found in the grassy area, rode and drove the padyak or pedicab of Paolo, talked and walked with Bianca and Paolo for stories about love and relationships, and everything that you can imagine doing in an overnight party. 

All I can say is that it was the best senior's pull-out ever and I wanted to thank all the AtSCAn undergrads who took part in its preparation and who made it successful and meaningful for us.  Thank you and congratulations!

When the pool is not yet full, the models pose and become more cool…

and when the lights are out and the video starts rolling, everyone else just begins smiling and clapping…

…and the night ended proving that we are such a community where friendship is fostered and treasured.

Thanks to DA Abellera for the pictures.  Again, thank you very much undergrads for that one big SNL!  What a pressure for the next seniors blow-out to be prepared by us.

And oh, congratulations as well to the new Executive Board of AtSCA.  Good luck to a year of service and leadership ahead!
