I just got my yearbook yesterday. And I'm leaving for college. TODAY.
Frightening, no? And to think that I was oddly calm these past few days... I knew, however, that the present will catch up to me soon enough - and once it does.... I will panic. Oh so very much.
Much like now, actually.
Come to think of it... these past four years of me schooling in Pisay... I don't remember much. everything seems like a blur. I can pinpoint specific days... specific happenings... those moments in time when I feel like I'm at the top of the world... or at the bottom of it... Yup. Besides those, it's all a blur to me.
A LOT of things happened in Pisay.. I experienced my first HOPELESS moment in that school... you know that feeling that you're trapped in a corner, with nowhere to run, and that doom and despair are the only things that await you? (read: research). It isn't a pleasant experience, let me tell you that. And it could've been avoided too, if only we had thought about following the Techno path when it comes to choosing a research topic.
I also experienced my first BORDERLINE PASS grade. (read: 2.5). I cried over it too. Geez. Pathetic, aren't I? Ah....... if only we thought of doing a techno project...
And lol @ the Dahlia play. Yes, I know I suck as a scriptwriter. But it was all a series of unfortunate events which led to..... well, I'd rather not. really. I can't remember much of it anyway. (and it's just as well)...
Oh! Oh! And what about the various dances? Cheerdance... Sci camp dance....... waah. grabe. Those work out days.. Fun, but they cost me my health and a sprained foot.
And my missed opportunities of course. Grabe. Ang sayang talaga ng 2nd year ko..... T_T
But then again, the experiences.. the memories I now share with friends are ones that are priceless treasures to me..... I wouldn't trade them for the world! I daresay that these moments are the ones that made my Pisay stay worthwhile. I say that now as I flip the pages of my yearbook..... (and I sometimes wonder why indeed did it take me 2 and a half years to know everyone in the batch. T_T)
My high school experience wasn't that perfect and peachy. It could've been better. Heck, it could've been worse. But given the chance....-WILD THOUGHT- would I do it over, and perhaps attempt to prevent all those -ugh- bad things from happening?
.....
.....
.....
Would YOU? My answer would be HECK NO! High school is fun and all, but there's no way I can live through all that stress a second time! :)) Come to think of it... I would've done what I did (procrastinating and all... Yes I know, shame on me..) anyway. And I probably would feel the same way as I am feeling now.
Fate is a funny thing.
The present has finally caught up with me. (I was shocked during our Graduation... didn't even cry. Pft.) I'm finally leaving Pisay. Probably for good, this time. And I have no regrets.
..at least not in the academic category. :P

There's nothing more I'd like to do
Than to lie down, under the heavens,
And to gaze at the stars with you...

May this blog serve as a reminder to the NeoNix of the Pisay and Ateneo, in hopes that lessons may be learned from her (mis)adventures.

Nostalgia
My head is still spinning from the Mindanao State Convention for the Knights of Columbus we attended last April 25-27. Well.. as long as you interpreted being part of the registration team as 'attended'.
The whole ID printing system is automated, and I was among those tasked to man the workstations. There were 4 of them, plus my dad's laptop which controlled the printer. Take note: 1 printer vs. anywhere from 700-800 participants. Expect total and utter mayhem.
And so it was that the crowding, the yelling, and the chaos ESCALATED... Get this: even my supervisor during the SSIP [Fr. Junar] helped [the Chancery was nearby], in what seemed to be a vain effort to control the crowd. T_T If the mob crowd isn't at the printer, it would be over at the other table [giving out kits and stuff].
Even Anna stepped in to help. [after lunch] Still. The crowd... the HEAT... ugh.
Now that's what I call community service! :D
But that's not the point I'm trying to get across.
You see, the convention was held at the [where else?] Davao CONVENTION center. The very same place we held our JS Prom. When we were juniors, that is.
OMGZZFLASHBACKMEMORIESPROMWHEE!!
People who know me have probably noticed something.... weird about me. I EASILY FORGET. I forget the important things in life... like names, faces, dates, events... [Yes Arie, I'm SORRY!!! T_T] There are exceptions to the rule, but it mostly applies to a lot of things. Mundane things... laags... special events... the so called 'MEMORABLE' moments... Interestingly, I remember school stuff more than I remember the important stuff.
So there. It's one of the reasons why I keep a blog running, actually... I might miss a whole chapter of my life just because I traded my memories for some Chem/BIo/Phys jargon I probably wouldn't need/care about in the future. gAH. Stupid bad memory.
That's why I was ecstatic when I found myself remembering that PROM night as if it had happened yesterday! Like a video set in fast forward, I could practically see what I saw, what I experienced that night - a year and some months ago.
I tested it out again when I visited Pisay last May 2. And... it was just... wow. I caught myself thinking: 'Haha.. grabe ang paghihirap ng officers namin dyan...' 'I used to wait there for my sundo in first year...' 'Dito pala ako dumadaan kapag late na..' 'Kapag naririnig ko na ang boses ni Maam Palicte, late na ako!! T_T' 'Waah.. dito nag tambak ang mga Assumptionista nung 1st screening...' 'lol Health interview' 'Boohoo, pingpong..' 'Pearl... Dahlia.... Calcium... Neutron...'
..and so much more.
Nostalgia... seems to be the perfect word for it.
Well, I'm just glad that I'm not really suffering from memory loss. :P
So.. I guess I'll have to revisit Men Seng and the Cursillo(sp?) house, eh? :D
