High School and Today

My high school days have been the best days of my life's unpredictable unfolding. Despite the drama and the comedy surrounding it, I've had friendships kept, achievements to be proud of and most of all, lessons learned.

When I think back about my classmates, I ask myself what has happened to them? Are they the same individuals I've spent four years with? Of course, they aren't! So here are some updates based on what I know and what I've heard of...

Mary Jesseth - She dons a new last name. You heard me right, she is happily married- just this year- with a baby on the way or already out ( not quite sure!).

April Marie - Now, she teaches English at Mary Help of Christians School.

Melanie - Last I know, she's working somewhere in Banilad after finishing Accountancy.

Ernalie - I don't know much except that she is happily in a relationship. (Check her friendster).

Richelle - Currently, she is studying in CIT taking up Nursing.

Janice - She is working in Western Watts.

Danmar - I really have no idea.

Jelda - For sure, she has graduated Architecture from CIT. Apart from that, I do not have news.

Jofel Ann - I once saw her in SM. She is happy and healthy.

Marylou - She is in Accenture Manila.

Marichris - She just took the NCLEX. I am keeping my fingers crossed and I hope she passed it.

Maharlika - She is also working in Western Watts.

Cleofe - She is in Accenture Manila. Two years and going strong with her baby ( boyfriend!)!

Krisa - After a year plus in Western Watts, she has transferred to Lexmark. She is also in a long-term relationship with his bubu (boyfriend).

Cora - You'll be surprised at how prim and proper this spunky teacher has turned into.

Lavetta - She is an ESL teacher in Mabolo.

Hanna - At Mactan Doctors Hospital, she is an ER nurse.

Jerrielou - After the 2006 Nursing leakage hiatus, she now teaches at a Korean School in Lahug.

Hannie - She is an Assistant Head Teacher in a Korean school in Lahug.

Gretchen - She is a full-time mom with two kids.

Remus - Last news was he graduated from CITE and has a gf.

Reymond - He took the Nursing Board Exam last December. As for the results, I got no idea.

Carlou - Yup, he graduated from the "Academy" and is now onboard an international ship.

Antonio - He is also onboard an international ship.

Julius - Baby number 2 on the way. He has a very cute baby boy as his first child.

Our classmates for a year or so:

Mafe - She is working in People Support.

Joanna - She is in Etelecare.

P.S. I know I lack a few names. These are the people I simply or intentionally forgot. Do remind me!

Again, what is written here may not be necessarily true anymore.

Woefully Yours

My day is nowhere near great. My face is, once again, shoved by the fact that I am not as independent as I thought I was. True, I willfully do whatever I please without bounds but no matter how I dig deep into my pockets, all i can satisfy myself are a few pennies from last month's allowance.

It's sad enough that at 23, I am still a student- under the wings of my parents and shadowed by my brother's support. Worse part of it is when I am left helpless. I am supposed to work today for my Related Learning Experience but I wasn't able to because, unfortunately, my allowance is delayed.

If only I could work, if only being a nursing stude would have permitted me to.

Now, enough of my ranting. I just needed to let it out. Thanks!

P.I. over the Phone

I have worked in a call center before. Stress does come in the way that we forget even as simple a task as pressing the mute button. Imagine cussing your customer and have him hear it. Enjoy!



Would you resort to crying? Desperate times call for the lamest desperate measures. Hehehehe

Going 90's (In Memory of Aianne)

I honestly thought that the song "When she cries" by Restless Heart was released sometime in the 80's. Of course, during that time, I wouldn't have cared less. My life would have then revolved around patintero, tagu-an and the likes.

Now for my friends entertainment, I share the song. Good day!

Btw, it ws released 1992. November 6 to be exact.

No Ordinary Love

While doing a crash browsing through youtube, I , by mere accident or what, stumbled upon this funny yet endearing video...Goes to show that love definitely moves in mysterious ways! Enjoy guys!

At LonG lasT

After what has been an all-nighter (stuck at home with nothing to do!), at exactly this time-five minutes to 1PM- i am struggling to keep my weary eyes open, my sanity's on the brink of total oblivion and my thoughts are entangled with something from a cosmos way farther than my imagination would or could fathom. Yet here I am: still pushing, still blogging.

BUT now, I decide to rest (hopefully, not for good!) and content myself with the comforts brought about by three most unlikely allies: my blanket-the only protection from the swarming, blood-sucking mosquitoes ready to feast at my tired self, my pillow- my girl, my lover and my friend rolled into one lifeless companion and our sofa- the refuge that would lull me into somewhat a sense of security.

Enough said, bye for now!

Necesito dormir!
