where were you when we were getting high?

life was so f*cking easy during highschool.

i mean, oh god. i even looove exam weeks because i have more time to play PS, and sometimes i'm not required to take the tests because i'm too cool for it. (pagbigyan, pagbigyan ang kayabangan!) (im not cool enough to be exempted sa Med, Remediable pa nga eh)... i know a lot of people can relate to this. because life was so easy.

all i ever worried about highschool were:

1. Hunter X Hunter and Slam Dunk (4.30 yun, pero 4 PM yugn uwian namin, so pag bell, uwi agaaaaad!)
2. lovelife (--same old, same old--)
3. my friend's love life (damn JC. "tol, break na kami" --after 10 mins -- "kami na ulit")
4. Basketball
5. Tagis-awit at Slam N Jam
6. others (Gervic Raids, Beggars sa labas,)

(this is not the beggar. this is gervic)

natatawa nalang ako sa mga High School students na umuuwi ng sobrang late dahil daw "gumawa sila ng project." natatawa nalang ako sa mga taong, "hindi natutulog" kasi daw, "tambak sila ng exams and projects" kasi daw "hindi na naaawa mga teachers nila sa kanila"

anak ng baka naman. anong mahirap sa SOHCAHTOA? sa Pagbasa ng Harry Potter at Gumawa ng reaction paper dito? ang gumawa ng isang mini-simbahan na gawa sa basura? ng isang scrapbook kung san mo kinompile yung mga exams mo?

i'm so glad i enjoyed my Higschool. Remember the old saying that your HighSchool friends are the ones whom you'll be with the rest of your life? Nah. haha. it's a choice actually. but i know my HS friendships will last till all of us get old.


when i was in 4th year, i was lying on the stage on the quadrangle, with my friends beside me, all of us singing, and one playing the guitar. and i was just looking at the blue sky, and the dangling banderitas of the Entrepreneurship Week. i wished it would last forever.

buti nalang it didnt. because if it did last forever, then i wouldnt where i am right now? duh. ill be just forever be contented on that lax pressure-free life. i loved that life. but, of course, there's always a room for me to grow up.

yeah, life was so easy during high school. some people would want to stay there for good. but, of course, at some point, we had to leave. not because we wanted to, but because we have to. and now, life is a lot more complicated than our previous High School dilemmas before, but in a way, that made us see the beauty of the world beyond those metal gates.

life was so easy during highschool. well at least for me, and for Reverence and Wisdom peeps and Madla, and Havoc, Simpleng Mamamayans (god, san ba natin nakuha yang mga pangalang yan?!) life was simple. life was easy,

sometimes, we'd really wish we're back on that happy place. where the skies were blue, and the sun not hot enough for global warming to prick you, and the thing that gets you awake all night is the basketball championships tomorrow. but then, we had our shot. and it was great. and id like to to remain as raw and as pure and as cool and as animalistic and as happy those memories are. theyre nice to think about, and laugh about. but, of course, life goes on. and it's been 5 years since then. may engineers na, may RN na, may mga may anak na, may nag abroad, may pumayat, may tumaba -- nakakatuwa lang isipin na at some point in our time we sat on one classroom together, laughed together, "studied" together, lived together.

while so many other teenagers during that time are involved in excessive drinking, drugs, violence, gang wars, and unsafe sex. we were far away, on the other side, on our world, not saying that we're perfect, not saying that we're "pure" but, we were just there... having fun.. clean fun.

where were you when we were getting high? let me rephase that.

where were we when they were getting high?

we were at Ludwig's house. at Diego's. at the HS gym. at room 204. at the quadrangle... happy. in our own version of hapiness.



is it just weird that is just suddenly missed my Higschool days?


(i didnt expect this blog will end on a serious note, really)
