My morning was nearly ruined when my friend Frederick made fun of me this morning. 
We were scheduled to register our specialization electives this week. I tried to register last Saturday but the registrar office was close so I went to college this morning, around 10:00 AM. While I was riding bus to Makati Frederick (P4) sent a text message that goes along this line: He and Jeremiah already got their registration form, and there was NO MORE SLOTS FOR JAVA. He even added he was fortunate to get the last slot! And since there was no more slot for Java, they put me in HP-UX. (that’s the last thing I would do!) 
Of course I was surprised. There was no announcent whatsover that Java is offered only to limited number of slots. I violently reacted to P4’s message. It was so unfair and I ranted that they should have informed me sooner. I was relieved to know it was only a joke… a bad one though. 
I just smiled after the revelation but I was badly irritated. You got me there P4! 
Later on I happily registered Java as my specialization, together with Jeremiah and P4 
we dubbed ourselves as Java-man since all of us are getting that elective.

I remember the time when I was asking, “Marck, pwede ba akong magregister diyan?”. I can’t recall if he answered. [...]
