Four Years

March 27, 2013-11:25 pm

High school is the most beautiful experience that a teenager could have. It is where he can experience a lot of pain, hard work, sacrifice, joy and friendship. And you can barely imagine how can someone experience all these things in one memory if you don't have a high school life.

In my four years in high school, I experienced almost all the ups and downs a student could have.

You never know what's in store for you in high school. But it's really up to you of how you will make your high school a unique and memorable one. Each one of us has a different interpretation of what high school is all about, of what it taught us and of what it made us.

There is no guarantee that your high school experience is the same as to another. We have different perspective and experience. But I know that there is one point where all of us agree. High school taught us that friends will always be there for you. High school made us stronger and braver. High school molded us to be who we are right now.

We have different beginnings and endings with our high school life. And now, it's up to you of how you will make your ending worthy of the four years in your high school.

Nothing is permanent in this world, so must make the best out of each second you have with the people you are with now.

Yet when a door closes, another one opens.

Our high school door is now closing. And behind that door is all the great things that made our high school life a memorable one. Behind that door is every tear drop we shed when we experience some hardships. Behind that door is the weaker us. The weaker you.

But now, our college door is opening. When you touch the knob of that door, you know that you are braver. You are tougher. And more responsible. Because it is what high school made us. To be prepared with college. And after what it brings.

As we turn our back from that beautiful memory, do not forget every single thing that it taught us. Leave all the bad things behind and bring with you the great things which you made and shared with your friends and classmates.

To my high school life, thank you for making me the person I dreamed to be. For showing me that giving up must never be an option. Thank you for throwing grenades of responsibilities at me to squeeze out the attitude that I must bring forth to continue my life. Thank you for making me grow up. Thank you for all the good memories.

To my friends. Thank you for everything. You helped me in my journey, and you gave me strength so I can face all the hardships I have to encounter. At one point in my life, you were my inspiration. Thank you for the   memories. For every tear and for every laugh that made my high school life more meaningful. Thank you for offering me your smiles every single day. I will really miss you all.

To my teachers. I know that you know very well that there are more opportunities for you outside the portals of the school. But you tend to stay there and share to us all the knowledge you have. I salute you all for everything you had done for the school, and most especially to us, your students. One day, all the things which you sacrificed for us will be returned to you like a pouring rain.

High school is not the end. It is just the prologue of our life. Of how serious we will be when we face the greater challenges that life will bring to us.

Give it your best shot.

Today, I woke at 4am. And the first thing that popped in my head was about my classmates.

And graduation. </3

I hate to say this, but we'll be graduating this Saturday. </3 </3

How can I bring back all the memories of the magnificent four years I spent in that department? (Department because I will still be studying at UIC next year.)

Anyway, I just laid on the bed and thought about my classmates, bringing back the memories we had. All the good times that we spent. And all the things that we shared.

Geesh, how I wish I could extend some more time with my friends.

This year lang kami nagkakilala at na close agad kami. Awee. <3 Well, that's what you call instant friendship. Ay.

Instant friendship nga, kaso, limitado lang naman ang oras na araw-araw naming makikita ang mga mukha ng bawat isa.

I wish that everything we had this school year will be treasured and all the memories we made together will be remembered.

To all the Seniors out there, tomorrow's the start of the last week of our High School life. Let's make it the most memorable week in our life. Most especially in our High School life.

Thank you so much guys, kasi we've been through a lot, yet, ni isa, wala tayong inatrasan kasi kaya natin at kinaya natin. You all have been a great part of my High School life, thank you so much. :)

Let's make it the best.

Dear Saint Jude batch 2012-2013

One week nlng guys.

One week para magkita tayo. One week para magksama tayo. One week para araw-araw nating makita ang mukha ng bawat isa.

After 4 years ko sa high school, kayo ang pinakaclose ko. Na pwede kong maka usap kahit anong oras, na walang alinlangan.

Let the countdown begin.

But make the days count.

Ngayong araw, andami ko na namang first time.

First time mag boodle fight, kumain ng sankatutak na durian, sumakay ng rides sa carnival, at lalong-lalo na, first time kong magbasketball.

And it's all because of my classmates (and Sir Cañon).

This is another day well spent with you guys.

Isa kayo sa mga tao na sanay ko nang makita araw-araw. At hindi ko alam kung ano kaya ang epekto sa akin kung tayo ay aalis na sa high school.

Guys. Thank you so much. Kasi kaya kong kalimutan ang mga problema at responsibilidad ko kapag kasama ko kayo. At ito ay dahil naging komportable na ako kapag kasama ko kayo.

I know na hindi ako ang pinaka magaling na "president" para sa inyo, pero salamat kasi na-appreciate niyo ang mga sakripisyong ginawa ko para sa inyo. Maraming salamat.

One week nalang. After 10 months, isa linggo na lang ang natitira.

I just hope that we will be making the best out of this one week, and it will be filled with memories na ating madadala hanggang pagtanda natin.

I pray that this week will be the best week of our high school life.

At the jeepney going to Magsaysay. Kung saan kumain kami ng sankatutak na durian.

Sa gym. habang naga laro ng basketball mga classmates namin.
With Ma-an, CG, Aaron, Ezzie, Flo and Den.

Classmates namin na naga laro ng basketball.

I hope na hindi ito ang una at huling araw na nagboodle fight, nag durian eat-until-busog, at nag carnival tayo. I hope.

Let's make the days count.

First time

March 15, 2013-10:43pm

One word to describe this day: awesome.

To start my day was another practice in the gym for our graduation. It was easy going and everything was in order. It was very successful. Thumbs up!

After the practices, we went to our classroom and we were expected to have our clearance signed but what we did was just sat there and took pictures. xD I know, we didn't used our time wisely, but hey-at least, we enjoyed the remaining time to bond with each other.

But, the bad news is, our adviser got sick and he stayed in the clinic for a couple of hours. So we made a little surprise for him. I don't know if we surprised him, but we surely surprised the school nurse with how many we are to leave a get-well-now message to our adviser. I just hope he saw the paper we slipped in the Male's Room.

We were not yet in the mood to go home so we looked for things that we could do without spending too much money.

So we bought some snacks outside our school and we got back in our campus and we stayed at the grotto for rest of the afternoon.

What did we do in the grotto?

Well, what we did is something you won't expect from a graduating student to do. We laid down on the grass and looked up in the sky. We played tigso. And we shared some ghost stories.

It was my first time to do these things at that place. Though I stayed in that campus for about 10 years already.

After we played and story-telling, we hydrated ourselves first and we walked our way to Damosa.

When we arrived there, Denice, Ma-an and Joyno was fetched by Joyno's brother. So that leaves me, Ezzie, Camille, Mikel, Mico, Arnold and Aaron. We took our dinner at Tap's (which is also my first time to dine there), and after that, we went to SM Lanang, to plan for our farewell. Which took us a couple of minutes because we went out too late, and the mall was starting to close for the night.

Also, it was my first time to witness a full show of the WaterWorks in the SM Lanang fountain. And I daresay, it was jaw dropping. We were like, "Hauda sa nag operate ana uy." And we even have to urge to start clapping after the show. xD But-yea, the mall is closing.

So now, back to reality.

This day, bukang-bibig naming lahat, na ga-graduate na kami next week. Just thinking about it makes me cry inside. These might be bitter-sweet tears. Bitter, because I have to say farewell to all the people who took part in my growth, the teachers, and most especially to all of my friends. And sweet, because I am blessed to continue my studies and of having a big probability that I could live my dreams.

And you know what, this is actually my first time to have this kind of feeling which you don't want to go, but you have to.

To sum it all up, first experiences are at their best when you have trusted friends with you.

At our classroom. With the birthday girl, Eunice. :D

Still at our classroom. :D

At Tap's. :)) Camielle and Mikel was not included because.... :P

When we laid down on the grass and looked up in the sky.

When we sat in front of the grotto, where all the adventure began.

Life must go on.

Trouble free night

March 11, 2013-10:37pm

February 23, 2013, was the night of our Junior's and Senior's Promenade. Our last promenade. And it was a beautiful fairy tale (I sound so gay. Iknow.)

But let's go back a few days before our promenade.

A week before that, I was asked to join the group to edit the pictures of my batch mates for the Prophecy. And who would thought that these people that I have to work with are very amazing homo-wait for it-sapiens.Working with them is one of the things that is worth to be remembered.

The arrangement for our table is a whole lot different than last year. Since, last year, we had a round table, but now, we have a long table, which consists of ten couples. And I daresay, this arrangement is waaay better than the previous one. Though I cannot stay long in my chair because I have to make the pictures for the prophecy :/. And I pity my partner. Because he doesn't have a partner most of the time. xD but he knows exactly why I have to go after 10 minutes of sitting on my chair. Anyway, we've known each other even before the practices, because we are in the same club. So we are actually comfortable with each other, and we kept on arguing on almost everything, just like, where does Carbon Dioxide belongs, is it in Chemistry or Biology? Iknow, we're weird. :)

And after a couple of sleepless nights, cramming, and travelling, the night that we've been waiting for has come.

It was really the best night of my High School Life. To think that our disco lasted for almost 2 hours, cheers to that. :)

And during that two hours of disco, I didn't have to worry about the yearbook, the chicks, requirements and EVERYTHING. Ah no, maybe not just within the two hours, but for the whole duration of the prom. We only thought of being in right posture and having fun all night, and nothing else.

But you know, words will NEVER be enough. So, allow me to post some of the pictures during our prom.

The faces that kept me going through the night.

Top pic is my partner.

With most of my table mates.

*Insert a random and amazing text here.*

During prom. Try to look behind the texts.

Cause we're bored. And I don't know why we have this pic.

This pic was the shock of the night. I just left my camera on the table and I went  to the comfort room and when I checked my cam, BAM, shock of the night.

After the prom.

This year's prom is the best. Though we allocated only a little time for the practices. But the real essence of the prom is not the fun that you had, but the camaraderie between the seniors and the juniors.

To the juniors out there, I hope that you can do better things than what we did, because I know you can and I believe you can. :) Good luck juniors!

May the odds be ever in your favor.

AFTER A MILLION YEARS

March 3, 2013-10:25 PM

... I AM BLOGGING AGAIN.

So why? Simply because, IFORGOTMYBLOGGERUSERNAMEANDPASSWORD. </3 Screw that.

To think that my last post was about the driving lessons I had with my dad last November 5, 2012. November, two thousand and twelve. It's sounds so old already. Anyway, I'm not making sense anymore. Am I?

Okay, let me get into business.

For the past 4 months (make it 5), a lot of things happened. We had a Christmas Festival, loads of activities, series of seminars, bunch of community reach outs and of course, our promenade, with which, I will be making another post.

Yet, there are still a lot of things that I did for our yearbook. 2013 na, hindi pa rin kami tapos. Working for the yearbook is no joke. It's never been a joke. Mahirap kaya. But I just hope that we will receive positive feed backs about it. Crossed fingers.

And there are a lot of times that I feel so unproductive. To think that I could make use of my time wisely and productively.

Shame on me.

I've never been good in time management, I tell you. It should be an SOP when you have a very busy schedule.

But I'll be working on about that.

I should, at least, try to prioritize things as of the moment. Now that I am graduating.

Anyway, I should catch some Zzz's right now.

I promise to make a better blog post next time. I am just so thrilled to "recover" my username and password. Tehee

I'll be better.

Driving

November 5, 2012-8:42

Last November 2, my papa and I went to the old airport to have my driving lessons, with him as my teacher. :)

So when we got there, there are two other cars which are also practicing. I got a little conscious, LIKE DUH-who wouldn't? Hahaha, anyway, my papa refreshed me with the things that he already taught me before, we actually have some sessions sometimes when we go to my lola's subdivision because there is a spot there where almost nobody pass by. We chose that place to avoid accidents. So, my papa told me that we will change seats and we will first focus on my forward and backward driving.

I did what my papa told me. I am just grateful that I could still remember the things that he taught me before, even though the engine shut down a couple of times. Mehee

So, yea I think I'm getting better with my driving. :) and will be the best one day.

Ask for directions!
