I attended the second technical session of KLUG (Kagay-anon Linux Users Group) last Saturday, November 26, at Room CIT 503, Xavier University. Ahh, my school, my dear alma mater, it has been four years since I last set foot on your grounds. It's good to be back. You look more crowded than ever, but you feel like the same school that I left behind. You are the same school; the same library, the same chapel, the same Loyola House, the same Hayes walkway, the same CIT building. You are the same place that witnessed the forging of my early dreams, the same place that saw me take steps toward achieving them, and sometimes steps backwards toward not achieving them. It's hard to forget the campus where I spent the last eight years of my formal education. And it's hard not to be happy at being there again. The high school is no longer there, most traces of which forever gone. But without doubt, I was on the grounds where I armed myself with stuff to understand, or to try to understand the world around me. The moment I stepped through the gates, I knew I was home. It's good to be back, even if it's only for a few hours.
Hmm... All these nostalgic feelings are getting into me. I guess I'll just blog about what actually happened at the technical session next time. :-)
with regard to the school, yeah it's entirely wiped out of our HS memories. except for the white house which was my room when i entered the university as a HS freshman.
ReplyDeletechoy pre nga naka-adto ka sa KLUG tech session. gipangutana lagi ko ni sir BotP nganong wala daw ko ... 3rd shift man gud ko adto bai. ingon pud si sir Bot nga OpenOffice ug Firefow daw ang apil nga gi-discuss adto. next time na lang siguro.
Firefox diay, dili Firefow. Sowee kaayo.
ReplyDeleteYup, 'twas good that I attended the technical sessions. Openoffice, firefox, ug Ruby programming ang topics. I'm slowly (painfully slowly) trying to create a life outside work (although IT-related gihapon). Sa tinuoray lang bai, kung dili lang gyud workday sa ato ang Sabado, active napud tingali ko sa simbahan sama katong elementary ug high school pa ko. Unsaon ta man nga ang mga lay groups sa amo parish kay Saturday man ang regular meeting. Di man pud pwede nga taga-Sabado nalang mosibat. Hehe... Shssh... Timing timing lang.
ReplyDeleteI hope na maka-attend ka next time, bai. Actually I'm also hoping that I could attend the future sessions (that they won't coincide with system maintenance sa mga servers). Hopefully, a lot more people will attend (especially CS students and other IT enthusiasts sa city of gold).
