Most of us in Sultans used to be living outside Bacolod City. Our school Colegio de San Agustin just happened to be located in Bacolod City. This is the reason why we were close because most of us are living in one boarding house. It usually became our “tambayan” or hide out. When there’s free time, we’d be playing cards — “tong its” or “pusoy dos”. Sometime we’d also be playing chess. During our breaks in school and after school, our boarding house also was our meeting place when we are having night outs or parties.
In times like the lenten season, we’d usually go home to our respective town or city of origin were we are commemorating the season with our respective family since most of us are Catholic at that time. During that time, the use of SMS through cell phones are not yet a trend. Before the closing of the school we already have had set the time when we’d be going to meet again for our enrollment for the next opening of the class.
We had lots of unforgettable stories in the boarding house. I will post some of it hopefully in my next post
