TNT Magic

Last July 3-4, we had our OrSem: Est. 1859 and I was a TNT (Talks and Tours Facilitator).

My freshies, the LL block (Life Science) were really awesome. When we were on tours, they answered almost all of the questions by the tours committee correctly, except for two questions: 1. Why is Swine Flu called AH1N1? 2. What was the former name of the triangular plot near the faculty parking between Sec A and Gonzaga? The thing is, if the freshies were able to answer correctly, they get to draw on the faces of the tours committee person, but if they get the wrong answer, they have to draw on their TNT's faces. The freshies didn't want to draw on my face. Haha! But I told them I wanted to have the drawing too. :D Also, when they saw some of the actors in the O-Film, the girls were in their fangirling mode. Cute nila! haha!

By the end of Day 1, the girls were running way faster than me, and all of them (todos) were on their chairs dancing Chuga and Banana! I wanted to cry then, my hormones were on a high that day because my freshies were all active and game! Estaba emocionada entonces.

Day 2 of OrSem (the last day) my freshies finally mobed. After the last stop of the tours, when I told them to mobe for the last time, most of them ran like crazy people. Only 4 people were left behind, because they were super tired. So I told them that we will just do a "slow jog" so that we can get to the Cov Courts faster. And they slow jogged. Yey!
Before my partner and I left them for their O-Night, we gave them letters and candies. And they were telling us "Ate, don't leave us!" or "Stay!" I really did not want to leave them, but our TNT head was calling us for the Comm Dept. speech.


What is the "TNT Magic"? It is when your freshies tell you or make you feel that you are the best TNT to them. It is when your freshies tell you, "Thank you" for everything you did for their OrSem. It is when you are horribly tired, but your co-TNTs would encourage you to do more and dance more. It is when you learned to love your freshies and co-TNTs even for a short span of time.

Next year, I want to be a TNT again.^_^
