While Thea was busy being one of the popular and pretty students in school, I think I was busy being Ms Popular and Rebellious. It was a relatively small school, but I can’t deny that the students liked me. Haha. Please indulge me just this once. 
THINK BACK TO 4th year high school… Let’s see how much you remember and how much you regret..
What section were you? The one and only. Sabi sayo eh, it’s a small school.
Who were your seatmates? It changed every quarter but the most memorable one was David because he blatantly tells me to lower my folder (used supposedly to cover your paper when answering) so he can copy, during exams. and i did. and we never got caught. haha.
Still remember your English teacher? Yup, and i think she was actually one of the good ones who saw my batch’s potential. Mrs. Garcia. She’s now living in New Zealand.
What was your first class? Now why would I remember that, unless it was a class I liked? The possibility of me liking a subject is next to impossible.
Made friends with the lower years? I was their friend. But I didn’t really know most of them. haha ang mean! Eto nalang. I was actually inis at one of the lower year girls because she had to be my ex-boyfriend’s partner in one of the plays, and I was so jealous. I didn’t like her then because i thought she was maarte. Guess what, she’s one of my best friends now.
How was your class schedule? Uh, the same as always?
Made any enemies? Yeah sure. It’s normal to go through highschool with raging hormones. Oh, there was this one time my friends and I went to Wendy’s after school and a couple of college power tripping girls (and a guy) were pointing at one of my friends rudely and laughing at her. No apparent reason really, maybe just because she was chubby. I’m telling you that got us all worked up. By the end of the bi*chfit I think the other group got a nosebleed. Hindi siguro nakaintindi ng english ko Wanna know what school they were from? 
Who was your favorite teacher? Ms Hazel Jagmis, our world history and Social Studies teacher. she was the coolest. I actually appreciated history and why men had to wear breeches and not briefs back then. It made them look more regal. Or something like that.
What sport did you play? Anything! I think i was sporty enough, but I wasn’t really good at one thing. I did play volleyball, table tennis, darts, and basketball (sali-sali lang).
Were you a party animal? No. Because I wasn’t allowed to go out much. Besides I was grounded half the time. hihi. Bad, bad girl.
Were you well known in your school? I think so. I won the SC elections (treasurer lang naman) by landslide.
SKIP CLASSES? Never. That was virtually impossible in our jail of a school, right ruthie?
Did you get suspended/expelled? Almost I think. Instead, I was not allowed to attend the Baccalaureate service (a turnover ceremony between juniors and seniors) and almost did not attend my graduation.
Can you sing the alma mater? What, we have an alma mater song?
What was your favorite subject? Please refer to question number 4. Thea, Math?? How could you? hehe.
Did you go to the dances? Yup. Boring. We had assigned partners.
Where did you go most often during breaks? The canteen (to sneak a chat with my ex), hang around the hallway (to sneak a glance at my ex), The bathroom (to exchange letters with my ex), and just the classroom. hehehe.
What did you do on the last day of school? This was graduation, I suppose. I rejoiced.
Meeya, Charis, Donnie, Eds, and Kaligay, what were you like in HS? and all those who want to reminisce about their HS lives, go and answer this tag.
Horaayy..there are 12 comment(s) for me so far ;)
Hi Ris! Thanks for stopping by our blog. This entry of yours made me think back of those days in highschool, albeit it so far behind.
I have been actually wondering about your response on my entry. I just read in the papers today, featured on the frontpage, that the stretch of Roxas Blvd. and every participating city within the Metrohad their lights off. It is just sad that not everyone participated. Our city, let alone the subdivision we live in had each street light on. People can get stoic sometimes. But on the other hand, that is really each person’s prerogative.
It was great to know that there are still a number of us who participated even though there are also a number of people against it and actually think it’s nothing more than a touchy-feely thing that calls everyone out just because. Have a great day Ris! God bless!

Hi Jen! i actually never thought i would live up to the day of my 10th year HS reunion. hehe.
i think not a lot of people knew about it. it wasn’t publicized as much to the masa, so the participation wasn’t that overwhelming. even in bulacan where i was last weekend, i don’t think anyone even knew.
who said that it’s just a touch-feely thing?? let me ship them to the antarctic so they’ll know what global warming really is.

hi ris.
may mali sa entry ko ah, i wasn’t pretty in high school. suplada kasi ako (and never pa nagka bf) nun kaya nachachallenge sila.
i’d comment na din on the earth hour. on our street naman, sobrang dilim. it felt great. kasi nafeel ko we’re all united. the last time i had that feeling was when the pope visited manila.
