Arnel Villanueva (Atty. Loi Sicat)

To: All our batchmates
I was in tears reading the message of Pareng Bok (Herrie) and I can't but reminisce also the good old days (sometimes "bad" days) also with our good friend ARNEL. His untimely demise is definitely a great loss not only to his family but to all of us his classmates, friends, kumpare and acquaintances.
Last Sunday (Aug. 5, 2007) we, together with Bok, Benjie and Dominic had scheduled for a badminton play and we were shocked and we felt bad when we learned of the untimely demise of our good friend ARNEL. We played for 1 hour and thereafter we proceeded to Madapdap Area to console with the family of our friend. There we were met by Tang Pepe, Dang Peng, Apung Asiang and Arnel's sister Jenny. They were all in tears as they saw us coming. We consoled them and we re-assured them that it is God's will and we told them that ARNEL is now peacefully re-united with His Creator. Thy Will Be Done. We never questioned God's Will but we can only be assured that he is now happily re-united with the Good Lord and he feels no more pain, suffering, anxiety and sadness.
As I had just said, I can still reminisce the good as well as the naughty days we had with pareng ARNEL. Just like Bok, ARNEL is also a childhood friend since our Nursery days. We were classmates from Nursery til Highschool. We got close to each other especially during our Third Year High School Days when we were eased out of the Honor Roll by MIss Paladin in English Class. We got the same grade of 79.9, the only line of 7 we got, thus, we were taken out of the Honor List. We did not feel angst over it but made sure that we can avenge and get back someday. Comes Fourth Year Highschool, our friendship strengthen and the final verdict came when our grades were higher than those in the listed Honorees. We cannot be included in the Honor List since the requirement is no line of 7 from 3rd year to 4th year. But since our grades are higher, the school was in dilemma to relax their policy and include us in the honor list. I was summoned together with ARNEL before the Office of the Principal and the Directress and told us their predicament. They asked us if we are willing to go up the stage to receive medal as honor students. ARNEL just left the decision-making to me. How noble and kind-hearted our firend who leaves his fate in my hand. But given the pride I exude, I told him that we will not accept their medaland told them, "enake man pu after keng medal, after kami pu keng karangalan at kabiyasnan a abalu mi". (kalalam na kabaldugan balamu mo balu mi pero penindigan mi na rin). The sad story is we did not receive medals as honor students and stood by our decision. That's how good bossom buddies hold on to each other.
\u003cdiv\> \u003c/div\> \u003cdiv\> After graduation, we, together with Bok went to Manila to take our College Entrance Test. We took almost the entrance exams from all distinguished colleges and universities.\u003c/div\> \u003cdiv\>We stayed in our apartment in Manila and we were designated a small room with only one bed. We thus decided to pick on who will get the bed by lottery. Alas, it is our friend Bok who got the bed, I dont know if he tricked us, but Arnel and I contended ourselves lying in the flooring. See, how kind-hearted we are to give way to our friend Bok. "Lintik lang and walang ganti", but as karma works on as we went headed home from taking exams in\n UP Diliman, our friend Bok is having a stomach trouble. The bad timing is we were lost home. (melili kami pauli) Of course, what do you expect ? Atin mengapatakla. I and ARNEL are laughing our way home. (Sori, pareng Bok, I just cant forget this one)\u003c/div\> \u003cdiv\> \u003c/div\> \u003cdiv\> \u003c/div\> \u003cdiv\> As the result of the exams were released, we went separate ways. Bok went to UP Baguio, I went to La Salle and Arnel went to MAPUA. Aliwa ya ing byasa keng math. During our college days when it is either Sem Break or Bakasyon, we see to it that we get to see and meet each other for different escapades. At one time, we were invited in St, Mary's to teach NCEE to 4th year students. Memye kaming review andyang pamola mi lamu. We also had different occasions to go mountain hiking in Arayat, Bird-Hunting in San Antun Baculud, Bowling in Gerifel Guagua andyang lakaran miya mu,\n Tennis king LM Park Guagua, etc. We also had our usual boys night out starting from Barangay Baculud andyang ambula mung nasi then til Angeles City and on our way home manakut kaming signboard at pag lipat mila. ARNEL is the quiet and kind type na emu pweding pag isipan gawang marok. That's why when I will borrow the car from Erpats, I'l tell him i ARNEL ing magmanehu because he knows that ARNEL is a disciplined driver. I got around four (4) different vehicles (old and new) and ARNEL is always the designated driver. Most of the times in our escapades, pa andam miya jeep ng Tatang na at dakal na malyari kanita andyang kargan miya mu beinte pesus gasolina. At one time awala miya takap itang keng laru ning saken at ne kamwa tatang na pero uling kaluguran de i ARNEL me absweltu kami kagad. ",1]
