Guilty Pleasures

One of my unforgettable experiences playing in Sequel Internet Café is the first time my friends and I played overnight. It was like having a sleep over in a friend’s house, the only difference is that we were not in a friend’s house and we did not sleep at all; we instead played games the whole night. I can still remember that night, after the Freshmen Night event, around midnight last year. I was so exited that time because at last, for the first time, I could experience playing computer games with my friends overnight. As we got closer to the place, my excitement kept on growing. When at last, we arrived, to our surprise and disappointment, there were no vacant computer units for us, even though there are almost a hundred computer units in that branch. So we just waited for units to be vacated. It was around 3 o’clock in the morning when I felt my eyes wanting to close shut but still I resisted. It was already 6 o’clock in the morning when we stopped playing and went home. Our parents of course, did not know about all these “mischievous acts” we did; what’s important was that we had done nothing wrong, except for the little lies we told to cover up for what we had done. In my case, I told my parents that after the Freshmen Night, I stayed the rest of the night in the EBL dormitory and went home the following morning. The guilty feeling is always there, but there is one thing that’s important for my friends and me and that’s the clean fun we experience once in a while.
