It started with a Chat

“Hi pow! Hw r u?” That are the exact words she said when she gave me a private message on Yahoo Messeger.

“Hmmm… Okie nmn pow q, kw? Haha…” I replied.

Haaaayyy…. I’m so touched. I don’t know what to do! Since I was a freshmen, she had been my crush. Well, actually, she’s every boy’s crush. So what do you expect? I nearly break the keyboard after seeing those phrases she wrote. I was so tensed. Haaaayyy… I am so hoping that this chatting thing or whatever would never end.

That was Thursday night. The last thing I remembered was that it ended about 10:30 in the evening. We had lots of fun chatting with each other. Our chat session is almost composed of non-sense things. She also told me that they have a baliw club and korni club and she’s inviting me to be the vice president. Haha… How silly! Just simple things like that, we had lots of fun every time we talk personally or chat via internet may be. And so there it started the new couple of 2009!!! Haha… How I wish that would be true.

The next day, she smiled at me. Haha… I think I am the luckiest person on earth that day. The next day, we chat again. I asked her if I can court her, she remained speechless, and that means yes!

Now, we enjoy the company of each other. Every afternoon, I’m going with her and bringing her home. We always have fun talking about our personal lives. Now, I can say that we are on the stage of courting and I’m happy to be with her.

A New Schedule, A Disaster

Oh my God! We don’t know what to do. There was a new schedule given to all third year class for an unknown reason. Well, actually we like to have a new schedule except for one thing, the fact that our Chemistry time would be before lunch.

“What!!!” All of us shouted as loud as we could as if it is the end of the world. Mrs. Equilium Bisa is known for her intelligence, punctuality and being industrious. That is what we hate about her. No offense! For sure, every student doesn’t like his or her lunch time to be occupied by any subject especially those subject which are nosebleed or not on our vocabulary. We know that the vacant period from 11:30 to 12:30 would be a time of eating, eating where we can get the energy we need to stay alert for the next subjects and chatting with are friends and classmates for more bonding. Haha…

“ Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!” that’s what the lhandies had said.

“Hala! Lalo ako nitong se-sexy ehhh…” that’s what Sheila said.

“Haha! We would be the last students eating at the canteen!” that’s what I had said.

Full of negative thoughts it may be but after some day, I realized that Ma’am Bisa does that for for a lot of things, not only to be true to herself, to her occupation, not only to bond with us more, but most of all, to prepare us for our college life, for our tomorrow, for our future.

We love you Ma’am Bisa! I want to tell her that. We like you very much because you’re not just a teacher to us who gives us lecture, quizzes, or anything, but a mother who cares for us students.

Go 3-Lithium!!!

Yes! Ma’am Del Rosario announced to our class that we will be transferred to another section because there will be a Regional achievement test given to the third year students. Since those who will get the test would be composed of those students whose top of there class, of course, I’m not one of them, then we were asked to choose our section.

Since before, the Fluorine students had been close to me, so go for it. I grabbed the opportunity to be on their section again since even before, they treat me as their classmate. They even call me classmate.

Our newly found section was named III-Lithium for an unknown reason. Hehe… My first stay on their class was not that good. I’m not yet convenient with my new classmates and our first subject was Social Studies. Believe it or not, I was the first student who stood up for 0 recitation. Huhu.. Oh yah! I’m a nitrogen student but look at me, I’m the first one to stand for not answering a single question. Hehe..

After some subjects, we had lots of fun with our new classmates. Us students from Nitrogen class who go to Fluorine said that 3-Litium rocks. We were not wrong on choosing the section of Fluorine.

Every break, most of us eat together at the canteen. Every time we go upstairs or anywhere to pursue our next subject, we always fall in line, laughing, chatting, just like kids, and all those non-sense things are those that keep our bond tighter.

Haaayy,,, how sad! We only have four days to make the magic last. After that four days, I knew each everyone of them. I knew their likes, dislikes, their view of happiness, their weaknesses. Thanks for everything guys! Thanks for accepting us on your section though were not really part of it. Thank you for every moment you showed that you are happy with us nitrogen and thank you for proving that even nitrogen students can fit in with the other students.

I’ll miss you guys!

It’s New year

It was the day before New Year, December 31, 2008, to be exact. Even if it wasn’t midnight yet, we could already feel it coming. We ate our early media noche before evening. And even though it still isn’t midnight yet, we just can’t stop eating all those good foods. It felt good to eat so well sometimes. But during that time, I felt bad for those hardworking people who cannot afford a decent media noche.

The noise was somehow unbearable in the morning and it went from terrible to worse by the time it was afternoon. Fireworks could be heard both nearly and from afar. The sky lit up with every burst of the fireworks lit by enthusiastic individuals.

We waited patiently for midnight to come. How slow the time went! It would seem as if time had stopped. It was an agonizing and excruciating, figuratively, wait. Time passed by. At last, it’s already just minutes before midnight.

Maybe this would be the unhappiest new year I had. Why? Because most of our relatives are now abroad who used to celebrate the new year with us. But it’s okay for me, I’m sure that though we are in different nations, we both celebrate a happy new year. Hehe…

We prepared ourselves in welcoming 2009. We lit fountains and other kinds of fireworks. We ate a lot! Especially the lechon baboy! Hhhuuu!!! I could hardly breathe.

Haaayyy… “What could be my newyear’s resolution?”

“What could be the changes in me?”

“What could happen this year 2009?”

Hmmm… I wandered lonely as a cloud. Hehe…

My 2008 Christmas

Before our family went to Batangas, I’m here at school celebrating a merry Christmas with my beloved classmates and friends. We had a Christmas party at our school and we had lots of fun. At the morning, we had the school level party which was held by the Supreme Student Government. There are a lot of games for the whole students of Cavite National Science High School and a lot of fun made by each of one of us at the Gymnasium of our alma matter.

At the afternoon, we had the year level Christmas party. We had it at the front of the Type A Maliksi Building. We had more games like Picture this, Bring Me, and Hep hep Huray. Haha… I mean it, I was amazed at Noel Madlangbayan’s actions when he was acting like Pokwang. Haha… We had our intermission numbers and the boys of III-Nitrogen danced Marian Rivera’s So Sexy. I also played the role of Armando from the television series “I Love Betty La Fea” while Chala was convinced to play the role of Betty and Froiland as Nicholas, a friend of Betty.

After having the year level program, we went to our classroom to eat and to have fun with our very own classmates. We had singing, dancing, playing and a lot more. We also ate a lot!!! Haha… That was the best part.

At the afternoon, we had our flag retreat ceremony and had picture taking. Haaayy!!! I love my section.

After some days, we went to Batangas to celebrate Jesus’ birth together with our relatives and family friends.

We always spend our Christmas in there, I can feel the serenity and the calmness of the nature whenever I stay there. It’s not just a simple place. It’s a house alongside a mountain and in front of the sea. So if you are a nature-lover, you would really enjoy staying there. Though there’s no electrical power, you won’t feel sweaty, because the wind keeps on blowing.

On the day of Christmas, the first thing we did was to go to the church. We don’t actually miss any mass during Christmas days. We went straight to our house for the most awaited part, the sharing of gifts. I received money and gifts from my beloved relatives, and together, we opened the gifts. Right after the gift-giving, we ate all together. There are no exact words to express our positive feelings. Haha….

After three consecutive days of no electricity, hehe, we went back to Cavite and lived happily ever after. Haha…

Being One of the Campus Idols

Oh no! My heart beats at an exaggerating pace, because in few more minutes, I’ll be there onstage. I kept on smiling to hide the nervousness, but I just can’t conceal. It’s really hard. The fact that I’m a contestant of Campus Idol makes me crazy, because this is actually my first time to join a singing contest. I just wanted to grab the remote control and hit pause. There’s no escape from this, I have to face this bravely.

Actually, that afternoon was the only time I decided what to do and what to sing. Haaayy… I’m so nervous! I’ll be competing with the fairest singers of Cavite National Science High School. What will I do?

That afternoon, I went outside with Darleen, also a contestant, to buy a blank CD. After that, we went separately on each house and got the things we needed for the competition. Then we went to Jenny’s house at San Miguel to prepare for the said event. I’m treating Jenny as my manager because she’s always been there for me. Haha.. Thanks for that! We practiced singing, gestures and a lot more.

“And I’ll taste every moment….” I sang on. I could almost feel the emotions embedded in the song. It felt good to be relieved from the burden of painfully waiting for my moment to finish. After the singing thing, the judges now gave their comments. What! So negative! I feel so down that time!

“Practice more on vocals!”
“You should rehearse more!”
“Don’t eat your words!”

Those are just some of the negative comments they had said.

Finally, we were on the last part, the moment of truth. I was immobilized when they called my name! My legs went numb, thinking that I would fall. The feeling was unexplainable. Yehey, I made it into the finals! I won’t be able to do this without the full support of my classmates and my friends. Haha…

This memoir will never be part of my time-faded memories. The truth is if you search deep enough into my treasure chest, you would find this moment labeled “Time of my Life.” Hehe…

“What could I sing for the finals?” Hmmm…..

Happy birthday to me

Finally, my day has come! I’ve waited for this for a year. I can’t believe it, I’m a year older. I’m getting older and older year by year. But I don’t care. As of now, I’m gonna enjoy this moment.

When I woke up, I did not realize that it was already my birthday, until my parents greeted me “HAPPY BIRTHDAY.” Suddenly, I felt an intense feeling of excitement. Right after waking up, I thanked God for giving me the chance to live on this world, and I hoped for more birthdays to come.

Students started to greet me a happy birthday, and that made me happy because they remembered my birthday. Hehehe. Our class sang the happy birthday song for me, and I was really grateful.

I feel sorry for my friends and classmates because I was not able to treat them. Haha… “Sorry guys! Promise, next year!”

In our house, my parents cooked pancit. All of us ate lots of it. I couldn’t ask for more. PEPSI. xD. Haha!!!

Though we are not complete because my sister is at Manila, I’m happy because we stay close and we can face any problem obstructing our way.
