flashback of the good old days... =)

I went to my second home, my school for twelve grueling years, Ann Arbor Montessori-BF last Wednesday.  I didn’t have school ‘coz it was the Feast of the Black Nazarene.  I met up with dawn and my best friend tonti to get our yearbook (at long last!). 

It was a different feeling being finally back home.  It wasn’t much of a home anymore for me.  The ambiance is totally different from the time I left the school gate almost three years ago. =(  Maybe I’m just getting old that’s why I feel that way.  Things were different during my time.  Generation gap might be making its way on me.  I don’t know if we didn’t mature or the kids in school mature fast and caught up with us? 

While I sat at the cafeteria, I remembered a lot of memories:

1.the times that we would literally grab all the tables and chairs and eat as one big group. =) we even had complaints regarding this matter. 

2. the times when we would have a couple rounds of duck walk as punishment. =P 

3. missing the best food ever catered in school-tita mye’s luto and I had the luxury of eating I want on her menu as I had my listahan. 

4. sneaking up in the roof top with some gal pals and just chill.  We did this almost everyday during our sophomore year until we got busted!

5. tiring practices and bonding after. =)

6. gate duty during CAT (provoked someone while on duty…tsk tsk!)

7. CAT meetings during Mondays (you feint a major migraine to escape…never worked on me ‘coz I was an “officer” and had to be tough)

8. intrams baby! =)  everything about it

9. “akyat-bahay” inside the highschool building =P (‘twas curfew time and they locked it up with all our school stuff inside!) was it our fault the practice ended late? hmph!

10. having fun with everyone =)

Those are just teasers of my high school life.  There are a million more things in high school that I truly treasure up until this day. =) It may have been a different place now but the feeling of its warmth remains.  I dreaded entering college ‘coz I’m going to be away from the life I was so used to.  Being separated with friends was hard for me but no distance could ever get in the way.  Some close friends seemed to drift apart but majority is still intact.  Looking at my yearbook made me realize that time really does fly with out you noticing it.  Back in high school, I thought that my shoulder-long hair was pretty long already and that I was soooo cool.  I was very active in school.  Then I realized now that eeeek!  What a phase!  I was so shallow with stuff back then.  I never imagined I could be better and that’s big thanks to the jungle I feared before—college.  Now, that’s for another blog. =)  ‘til then… =)
