Dologs, short for Dionisio Dologmanding, Jr., our beloved classmate and my groupmate to a number of groups. He just passed away last June 24, 2007 at the age of 21, if I'm not mistaken. He has worked in a call center at Dumaguete after graduation and his illness started there. We haven't seen each other nor contacted since after graduation. I still sometimes don't believe it. Remembering the times with Dionisio, it feels sad to lose him.

Reth and I used to tease him with Michelle because they went home together after class. We even used to eavesdrop on them. We also became groupmates, who were sort of rebels, when we joined the Convergence competition. It was him who sent our entry and told us the news that we were chosen as finalist. At first we didn't believe him because it was really an absurd idea. We did the entry hours before the deadline amidst the busy people who drop.

I admit that Dologs had bad times with us during our fourth year in college. Well, all of us did had a bad time with each other. He may had his fault but the fights we had were considered to be more of professional one because it was about our case studies. I even remembered him cursing back at shella which was unusual of him. But I can say that it didn't affected our friendship much. Despite the bad times he had with us, our friendship has just strengthened.

We even share the victories we had as a group in AdCamp and even in Marketing Research. Dologs is a treasured friend who will remain in our hearts and we'll always cherish the times we spent with him.
