High School Glitz & Glamour

FLASHBACK

High School life is so great! Obviously my overused statement. I could go on all day sharing all the glitz and glamour of our high school days.

And to think that we have to leave the corners of our beloved Alma Mater, Numancia National School of Fisheries is really sad. It seemed to be like losing a ‘treasured diary’.

High School life is like pages from the Diary. All those moments we shared will only be fragments of our imaginations and would only be part of our memories from now on.

There were folded pages of secrets & sentiments that will only be part of our precious memories after the day of our graduation way back March 23, 2002.

THOSE WERE THE DAYS

The Orientation Program, Acquaintance Party, Intramural/Cultural Contest, Christmas Party, JS Prom, CAT Instructions/Presentation of Sponsors…whew! I can’t imagine, I’ve been part of the play. What a performance!

FLASHBACK

Those bonding days when we never felt closer to each other, how we started as total strangers until we discovered friendship; when our throats got sore & would leave us breathless cheering for our players during intrams; when we got all the energy practicing for our winning dance steps during cultural contests; when butterflies in our stomach got wild during oral recitations; when our hands would terribly sweat & shaking during examinations; when we go crazy with all the assignments, projects, memorizations, researches & quizzes; when we almost freak out during CAT Instructions under extreme heat of the sun or a pouring rain, how about our JS Prom Night…oh-so perfect! and when we got sick getting romantically involved to the so-called ‘infatuation’….

NOT BAD AT ALL

How exhausting to failed an exam; lost the championship award; teachers who don’t seem to compromise; deadlines that haven’t been met; friendship misunderstandings & bonggang heartaches. “Love hurts the most, the first time you fall,” and it can only happen in High School.

Through it all, we graduated gladly & graciously. All those struggles made our friendship grow like no other. In High School, we definitely had the most FUN!

After our graduation, we walked different paths, conquered different worlds, faced our respective endeavors, braved our respective storms and live happily on our own.

It even came to a point of setting aside the ‘friendship’ we’ve made. Our only possessions was the PAST…memories, smiles, laughter, & tears brought to us by our High School days.

Then we came to realize seeing clearly through the years of ups and downs that our greatest happiness was…EACH OTHER!!!
