Guys of my age group,
I don’t know if you’ve noticed this but if we are going to graduate by next school year( I don’t know about you guys..hehe) but we are going to have the nastiest tagline yet. You know those moments when you get asked by friends “Hey Man/Dude/Freak/Insert Desired Name Here, what year you graduated from?” and you know us Y2K batches usually reply with the letter O then the number (e.g. O-three, O-six) Have you ever thought how we’d answer to that? hmm? “BATCH – O – TEN man. That’s freakin hilarious ( and sad with a wee pinch of irony.)
I know it doesn’t make much of a deal and to tell you honestly, I thought of this during a chill out session with headphones tuned to Ratatat and a friend named beer whom I’m sure you’ve all met and in a sense…well, that’s it. It doesn’t make any sense. For one thing, only we (and maybe some dudes with foreign language majors) who know the Visayan Dialect can relate to the statement. Oh, don’t forget the feeling mature blockheads who pipe out “Eww!” or say “That’s childish…” once they hear this “revelation” (Yeah, you know who you are…feeling mature blockheads. Begone with you!)Also, one can clearly state the full year and say it like “I am from Batch 20-10” or to make it sound cool like “I’m from Batch 10” (I’m predicting this is going to be the default setting) but it does make one hell of a conversation piece, albeit a short laugh out loud moment, but nonetheless, it will become etched into your memory that you are a graduate of Batch 0-Ten. So spread the word people, I’m not saying to shout it out with pride or pass out flyers, just pass it on. Peace out Batch O-TEN.
