Blackout Blacklight

     What do you get when you put together a group of nearly 200 med students, a no-strings-attached weekend, and a black light?

     Definitely one hell of an acquaintance party.

     Coming straight out of the gates of District 13, Tartarus, and Azkaban combined (that's Hell Week, for you non-readers), THE party to be in took place right next door to Narnia. At least, that's how it felt like getting there. And that night was definitely as close as it could get to being magical. Hosted by our very own talented bunch of fellow Freshmen, the show proved itself to be in excellent hands.

     The audience laughed! The audience cried! The audience even ended up singing to Backstreet Boys. Go, Group 12! Surprises abounded in every corner of the acquaintance party, with everyone ready to cut loos and have an awesome night to reward themselves after an exhausting week of studying, studying, and let's not forget studying.

     You could see everyone was aiming to make the best of that night, as everyone had prepped up for the evening. I'm sure every boy, man, and romantic alike swooned at the sight of the ladies, beautiful and all dressed up to the nines. A few of the guys probably still have stiff necks from that night, as I'm sure. Kudos to you, ladies!

     Never short of talent, the Freshmen proved to be a truly creative bunch, be it in playing the piano, or holding balloons between their chins. These party animals were no slouches on the dance floor as well, as the after party would tell you. But that's another story for another time. (Now, THAT WAS FUN).

     All in all, that acquaintance party was the perfect way to get rid of the built-up stress over the week. There's no better way to cool off than to heat it up, all the way to the top, with BATCH VERTEX. Great job, guys.

     P.S. Thanks to everyone who helped prepare and clean up the party. You guys just showed what it is to really work together as a Batch that's headed for the top.

     Venue: The Garden Pavilion, Canduman, Mandaue City
