HWAHAHAHA!!! tama ba namang ilagay ang grad pexor dito?!!! cyempre... ........................ tama! tama! hinyahahaha...!

1st year…
It was the adjusting time.. the adjusting year. In our orientation that time, I noticed that every action, every win, and every work has a credit.. additional points. [like, when you join a certain club, or if you win in the English contest]. I still can remember that they were “maluwag” to first year students because they know it’s still adjusting time.
So I thought, “Wow, ang galante naman nila sa points.”
I thought it would be easier for me to get high grades because of their giveaway points…
I was wrong.
They were giving those points because they know highschool is harder, tougher.

Friends…
In the first months of freshman life.. I was with my former barkada. April Kasilag and the others. But we had different sections, although we were together during recess, lunch and dismissal, it still made a gap for me and my friends. They met new friends, I met new friends.
It happened gradually... yet quick and fast. I found myself not going with my barkada anymore. I was with another group of friends. Then, I became close with my other classmates in St. Bernadette…[and now, some are still my friends… Athena, Dawn, Meme, Elise, and Tachi, who were from St. Bernadette; and Rachelle from St. Gertrude}
I still miss my former friends, and at times I was thinking if it was really my fault. But, I’m really happy that they are happy with their present friends, and me, also happy with my friends.
* actually, even in grade school, I did have different sets of friends.

St. Bernadette
I can’t write all that I remember about St Bernadette. But I’ll say that it was fun. There, I met my [current] friends.
I LOVE my teachers then… especially my adviser! Ms. Delos Reyes… she is such a great teacher… I really loved Science that time. I love her stories, I love her trivia’s, I love how she teaches… she was one of my favorite teachers.
That year was the time when I was known for always sleeping in class… haha. Especially in math. First quarter, I was doing a good job in math, but because I was always sleeping during math class, I got a line of seven for the first time
I also remember that that was the last year of most of the teachers in St. Scho [before they left us the following year].





2nd year
Adjusting time almost over…. No more excuses for not following rules. Honestly, it was the class that I least liked.
One… the CLASSROOM!!!!!!!!!!!!! Arrgggggggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!! I’ll never forget that painful experience. There really was no need for that “sacrifice”!!! honestly!!! The next year, the lower batch used those classrooms!!! [when it was renovated!]

Two…. The teachers… ok… honestly… I did’t like most of the new teachers… as I have said, most teachers of the previous year resigned. And so the school have to hire new teachers.. and I think they were not as good as the former ones. Yes, I can’t blame them, but still, I don’t like them. Of course there were one or two whom I liked, but generally, I was disappointed that I have new teachers who were still adjusting in St. Scho, and, who were still adjusting as teachers.

Three…. My grades… yeah, I know it was my fault.

Four…. I was separated from my friends. I was the only one in St. Martha…
Although .. that was a blessing in disguise. Why? Because that was the reason why I became closer to Athena. [ because she was also alone in St. Rita]

Five… I did something that in the end.. I honestly didn’t like either. I hurt somebody.


BUT… of course there were something about sophomore year that I love.
My friends… or , my seatmates. That time, I noticed that most of my classmates who were my seatmate became my close friends. Like Ana Marie and Keren,.. and Melissa..[ although we do continue to repel and not as much as Ana and Keren], and Yvette… [ but also not as much as Ana Marie and Keren.]

We won… in the Asian Choral Fest… but that was just one of the two [only!] awards we received that year .. huhu.



3rd year
Ooooooohhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! One of the best years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had the best officers!
And… the best teachers!!! I love this year. I love my classmates. I love my adviser, Mrs. De Dios.
It’s was the year that we were really bagging and collecting awards. No doubt it was because Joselle was our president and because we had so many talented students.
But my greatest regret that year was my grade in math…
!st quarter, geometry, I got 91. WOW for an average student like me,... and because not all
can understand geom that time, and not all has satisfactory grades that time.
2nd quarter, still geometry, 87… well, still acceptable. But I didn’t like it.
3rd quarter, trigonometry, 81…! Oh no.
4th quarter, still trigo, 80…!!! Huhuhuhuhu.
This was also the year when Elise and I had a little argument. We didn’t talked to each other for a few days. What’s worse [or actually funny], is that we were seatmates. And… what’s even, -more- worse, is that I was at the corner left at the back! Because I was not talking to her, I was really quiet those days because I can’t talk to anybody.. except for my frontmate… and, what’s funnier, is that we started the argument,.. we ended it,... we were not talking to each other for a few days… and our barkada didn’t know it.
They just learned about it after so many months because we told them about it. And it was not a big deal, because they learned about it when we were already “bati”. [ but I know it will be a big deal if they knew it while we had that argument]
That same thing happened with another classmate that year. Still, I was the ‘dehado’ one because I was still in the left corner at the back.
I had good classmates… funny too.
And that was the time we formed the Phaoquerres.
Ms. All Sunday – that’s me!
Ms. Summer – Bong
Ms. Seasons – Styphelle
Ms. Valentine – Pabs
Ms. Holiday – Rizza
Ms. Autumn – Peña
Ms. Spring May – Bianchi
Ms. January - Monette

Now, we were planning for a reunion of St. Gertrude 04-05. I just don’t know if we’d still continue it.

I really love this year.


4th year
oh no. the last year! I love my classmates. I love my teacher. And I don’t want to talk about how many months are left….

The interaction… it was my first time. And I’m happy that we had that activity. I was not really close to boys… I don’t have close guy friends. And so it was a new experience.

The retreat. I really felt sister was so tired that time. But, I LOVE our bonding. I love being with my beloved classmates. I love them so much.

I wish time will slow down so that I may have a longer last year.
