10 years ago...

oh yes im baaaaaaaacccck! nasa sirkulasyon akong muli kaya halina't magdiwang!

Watching the Backstreet Boys and Oasis on TV alive and kicking again gave me the biggest shock of my life. Its been 10 years! almost ten years since they first debut 94 for oasis and 96 or 95 for the bsb!!! so I decided to write about the things I've done and lived through ten years ago

When i was 12 going 13.
of course i was excited to finally ditch my elementary uniform, to be free ( free to go out and about ), and to move on to another building that is, the HS building. Finally no more strap-on neck ties!! I got the long blue neck tie the real thing, a neck tie that needed to get tied! My friends and I are discussing our soon to be HS life and how we should act given that we are fast approaching HS. Thoughts on how immature we are and how HS will change all that.
I had my mom buy me a blue benetton knapsack. She wanted me to get the oval shaped one but i wanted the squarish one. I still have that bag to this day. That blue bag served as my camping bag when i joined girl scout and we camped at Makiling.

About joining GS.
With some uto-uto friends I joined GS, of course there was the classroom to classroom, door to door invitations from girl scouts.
We are after all newbies in the HS circle...we were lured to say the least. We got into newspaper


but before that how i love the smell of "new." New shoes, bags, notebooks, long pad, 1/4 pad, 1/2 lengthwise and crosswise pad. How i hated having to cut a full long pad into 1/4 or 1/2 especially on surprise quizzes! It takes time, and sometimes i dont do it very well because of the time pressure a.k.a. teacher opening her mouth for the question. Hurrying makes the folding "imperfect" therefore tearing it will lead to ugly jagged edges (this was pre OC Jale)
I wasn't so OC back then. Another thing that I hated is forgetting to bring ballpen. Its pretty pathetic to go puppy eyed on your classmate who has an extra ballpen, who has a big pencil case full of ballpens! but so what? this is high school this is when you master the craft of acting sick when you do not want to go to school or you wanted to just hang out in the clinic and acting studious+the puppy eyes when asking for extra work from teachers in math when you badly needed the extra grade for doing really bad on your math exam.

Songs from 1st year.
One Sweet Day - Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men. Everybody knows the lyrics to this! Everyone in class including that guy John, who was my friend's crush, a money extortionist. He would go about the room asking for a peso or 5 whichever he could get. He would corner people to get money mostly girls so he can use his charms and persuasion. He will not leave until he gets a peso out of you. I saw him some years back when i was already in College. He was 2 years ahead of us i think, so he either graduated ahead of us or whatever. I saw him inside Girbaud at SM North, what did i do? i skipped as farthest away i could.

More Classmates:

Joshua - well we planned to give him mouthwash come christmas time he is suffering from halitosis and he needs it badly. But we dint hehe no one wanted to buy the mouthwash (kurips forever! mas feel pa ata namin wag nalang huminga kesa maglabas ng salapi para sa hininga nya...). The plan was to put it on his desk a day before our christmas break he'll think it was a gift from someone then voila! a mouthwash...an object that could paint a thousand words and turn down his bad breath a little to say the least. He transferred to another school after a year.

Jessel - A good natured guy but always had wedgies. When we greet our teacher good morning he'd stand up and rub his butt, i wonder why his underwear was always dislocated! he is really tall and when he stands up he does fix and do the wedgy in a very conspicuous manner. I dont think i even remembered his voice he doesnt speak that much. The silent wedgy fixer type...

Clai- she likes making "pantusok" out of paper. She pokes our male classmates' butt with it. Naughty? the following year she got into cream section. She was rehabilitated and has since been a proper mannered girl. The loka loka girl became the model for primness if there was ever a word like that.

Kristoffer- Reggie Mantle in flesh always grooming himself in the mirror. Always asking if he should wear white socks or black which was better if he should comb his his hair this way or that...they own a video rental shop his younger sister attest to his brother's vanity saying that her brother puts cream on his face at night. Now that's metrosexuality in the making! way before beckham was metrosexual.

Javier - The pranskter. Joker. Daily pain in the ass. He likes making jokes on how my face resembles the shape of a mango fruit! He admitted to liking and collecting all bon jovi's tapes, haha finally blackmail material!! He had this yellow legs, me and my then bestfriend used to make fun about in secret. The last I saw of him was in the LRT station of Vito Cruz, 1st year College. He was fetching his Lasallista girlfriend at that time. Not the prankster anymore he seemed more mature at that time but then again....perhaps not..?

Cora - she was my bestfriend for like forever from elementary to hs. We had lunch together, watched movie together, cut class together, was late together. We were always together until College that is. The last i saw of her was december of 2003. She has a baby now and currently studying interior designing.

Mi- dependable. she was always equipped with homeworks which almost the whole class copies during first period if she sold one of her homeworks itll sell like hotcakes fer sure. We maintained our friendship throughout college. She just returned from China to find out her ex-BF has another gf already...

Rachel - I'll never forget the nachos and coke wed all share during recess. Cora and Rachel buys them because they were the ones good at making "siksik" in the canteen. I will never forget the day her parker pen dropped in that tiny hole on the floor. She never got it back. And will never be able to get it back because they demolished the whole HS building last summer.

My first ever beatle record!

As in i bought vinyl kahit na di ko alam kung pano ko patutugtugin!!!! my first vinylssss...one of em yung revolver album ng beats!!! yipiiiiiiii

Awting 1

Natapos naren ang 3 day awting ng museo sa ilocos. Naging mala impyerno ang lamig ng bus habang tinatahak namen ang madilim na gabi sa pagpunta sa vigan noong gabi ng martes. Akala ko'y sapat na ang aking makulay at well traveled na kumot upang pamuksa ng lamig ngunit hindi pala dahil brrrrrr napakalamig talaga kaya hindi ako mapakali. Nasabi kong well traveled ang kumot na ito dahilan sa sumama na rin ito sa girl scout camping namen dati nun first year hs ako, dito sa camping na ito ay napag pumping kame nang kaibigan ko dahilan sa kasalukuyan kaming nagtu-toothbrush sa banyo habang nagtatawag na ng assembly sa field, in short naging krimen ang pag tutoothbrush. Pero bago pa mataliwas ang aking kwento sa ibang mga pangyayari eh magbalik tayo muli sa bus kung saan pinilit kong labanan ang lamig brrrrrrr. Mahirap makatulog sa bus bukod sa lamig eh di ako makahanap ng tamang posisyon na magiging komportable ako. Lahat na ng ibat ibang klaseng posisyon ay nagawa ko na naka-curl, nakastretch na baluktot paren dahil maliit lang ang space ng leg room, nakataas ang paa sa upuan etc... pero wala paren. Idagdag na ren ang nakakasakit- likod na upuan at lamig na balakid sa aking beauty rest! Matapos ang ilang wiwi-stop at mga suma tutal na 10 oras ng biyahe ay nakarating den kami sa arko ng Vigan! sa me plaza nagpark ang bus kaya mejo mahaba pa ang nilakad namen papunta sa cordillera inn kung saan kame tumuloy ng 2 gabi. Sa aming unang araw sa Vigan ay kamalas malasan na nagkaroon ako ng dysmennorhea kaya hindi maipinta ang pagmumukha ko pano ba naman hindi ko mawari kung ano ba talaga ang nararamdaman ko natatae, masakit ang puson, nilalamig? Kaya minarapat ko nang hindi na sumama sa tour at magpahinga nalang sa kwarto habang lahat ng aking mga kasamahan ay nagtutour na ng Vigan buhuhuhuhu! Sahil sa hindi ako nakasabay sa lunch dahilan nga sa dysmenorrhea mga 3PM ay nagutom na ako at bumili ng MC DO sa plaza via P6 tricycle ride, bukod don ay nakarating din ako ng mercury drug store at bumili ng mefenamic acid na sya naman inireseta ng pinsan kong doktor via text. Pagdating ng mga 5 PM eh nakarating naren ang mga kasamahan sa cordillera inn at inisa isa na ang mga bilihan sa calle crisologo, magaling na ren ako ng mga panahon na ito kaya nakikibili-bili na ren ako. Syempre pagdating ng dinner time eh kumain na ako. Fish and gulay...gaya nga ng sabi ni Emer handang handa na siya kung ganito nga ang iulam nagdala sya ng spam nya, hindi kase sya kumakain ng fish at gulay. Marahil dapat kong ipahiram sa kanya yun chinese book na kinwento sa akin ni mama dati nun kinder 2 ako tungkol sa batang hindi nag ne nail cutter at hindi kumakain ng fish at gulay na nagkasakit...pero mabalik sa kwento ko so ayun nga tilapia ang food namen tapos nkapanod pa ako ng kaunting A.I. at napanod ko si Anwar na kumanta bago kami umakyat para sa isang activity na inorganized ni mr. june at mamu. Magkakagrupo kami nina des, chie, felix, menard, elena at mang domeng, gumawa kami ng chart chart kung saan iplaplot yung masaya hindi masaya sa buhay nya sa museo by year or months kung gano na katagal nagtratrabaho, pag katapos nun tulugan na kase pupunta pa ng laoag kinabukasan ng maaga.( to be continued...)

Mga Pagsabog...:(

pansamantalang naantala ang pag po-post ko ng aking valentine espesyal na blog dahilan sa ako'y nagkasipon hindi ko natapos ang aking sinusulat at dahilan sa uunahin ko nang itampok ang mas importanteng usapin tungkol sa mga pagpapasabog na naganap kamakailan eh maantala muna uli ang aking valentines espesyal. Me sumabog sa makati at sa kung san san pang parte ng mindanao...at kahapon daw ay sumabog ang transformer sa Museo sa pagitan ng Museo at US Embassy. Wala ako sa Museo at kasalukuyang nagpapahinga sa bahay nang mga panahong iyon buti nalang ay transformers lang yun at hindi bomba...nakakatakot talaga ang mga panggugulo na nagaganap sana mapigilan na ang mga gumagawa nito sa lalong madaling panahon. Kung sila ay madakip sana ay ipakain nalang sila sa mga nangangayayat nang carnivores sa Manila Zoo para maglasilbi naman sila maliban sa panggugulo at pagkakalat ng terorismo.

Multiplying Red felt paper Hearts!

Basta gupit lang ako ng gupit ng mga heart sa opis. me tira tira kase yun exhibits department nang mga Red na felt paper from the origami exhibit. Maliban sa mga crabbies na ginawa ko eh naggugupit den ako ng pang balentyms! Inuwi ko sa bahay yun mga hearts na cut out ko tapos ginawa ko syang sabit-sabit.

Hindi pa nangyayari yun ganun sa garments yun maraming sabit sabit. Kaya masaya ako kanina pagkakita ko kahit na galing ako dun sa Multiple Intelligence Seminar sa Manila Hotel na hindi ko alam kung ilan beses ako humikab at kung bibilangin ang hikab namin ni mamu eh makaka double digits na...balik tayo sa mga hearts ayun nga nakakatuwa bigalang dumami yun heart ni hindi ko rin alam kung san sila nakakuha ng red papers nila...sa totoo dapat dadagdagan ko pa yun sabit sabit na ginawa ko pero hindi na ata kelangan dahil talagang balentyms na balentyms na sa garments at dito ko napatunayan na a little love goes a long long way...hindi ko na matandaan kung san commercial ko na dukot yun pero basta yun na yun.
