Blah etc. and everything else

I read a UP freshie’s blog a few minutes ago, and found a few interesting things that she mentioned, things that I miss (still do) from High School, although we didn’t go to the same high school, it seems the things I miss from my day (huwaw antanda ko na) are still mostly, the things she misses from her day, and since I liked what she did so much, I’m making my own list of the things i miss from highschool

* The morning prayers, sa Laco kasi, every morning we recite these set of prayers, morning offering, prayer for peace, etc. etc. prayer for the beatification of mother consuelo, and of course every mondays , (or is it fridays) the song "In Glory Untold"

in the beggining of this semester, my friends (same batch) and I during our traditional (kuno) first sem meal/ Laco-UP Freshman introduction at Chocolate Kiss, we tried to recite the morning offering and the prayer for peace, and wag ka, memorize ko pa ang mronign offering, however, ung prayer for peace eh nagiging parang circular, waheheheh pagdating sa merciful, may few words, and then merciful ulet, tpaos ulet ulet na, i think we asked a few second years Laco-UP pipol about the next lines, but Iforgot it again.

*Basic Ecclesial Community; Although i admit, that this was probably the one activity that most bored me druing highschool, I kinda miss it, y’know, every monday we discuss Sunday’s gospel, sniff* we used to have a lot of fun watching my Values Ed. Teacher pick his nose, waheheheh.

*Colorful Papers. in my high school, pagandahan ng project, so ang mga term papers, research works, investigatory projects, lahat nakaprint sa mga scented, textured, colored papers, of course dapata colorful dina ng ink a maarte and font, dun nga kami nagtatagal sa paggawa ng project eh, sa pagpili ng font.

*Yung mga instant plays na binabarubal ng boys. Kahit na tumataas ang blodo pressure ko sa mga boys ng class namen pag nagdidirect ako ng play/project, i still miss the times when I’d just shout at them and they’d shut the hell up, eh dito sa Peyups, wala lang dedma-esh.

* Yung mga boys na nanlilibre sa jeep, although I don’t require my guy friends to do this, I placed it here in place of a more cliche word, which is chivalry, or ung pagiging gentlemen ng mga friends ko na guys from LAco. Grabe, dito kasi todo aagawan ka pa sa seat, nakakamiss talaga ung pagiging gentleman ng mga guy friends ko, especially si Berns (Luv yah berns!) (uuy humahaba na hair nyo ha)

*Yung mga group projects na gagawin namin sa bahay nila yocs, pero and mangyayari magplaplaystaion muna kami bago namin masimulan

*Yung pag-iyak ni yocs sa CR dahil di pa nya tapos ung project nya, na minsan nakakagaan ng loob kasi parang nagwoworry na sya para sa buong klase.

*Yung pagsigaw ni Bau na "Benjo." that shout has a story, when Bau, the prex of the class, shouts Benjo, it means a figure of authority, most of the time a teacher, or the principal is approaching the classroom, and we should behave. It started in third year, when it was I think intemurals, everybody wasn’t in the mood to watch a bunch of gradeschools tudents dance in the quad, so we went back to our rooms, and played tong-its, chess, pusoy dos etc. The classroom looked like a friggin casino. Card games were prohibited inour school, kahit hindi perahan, so since, teh room looked liek a casino, we’d shout "RAID" everytime a teacher approaches the room, later we thought "RAID" was too obvious, so we changed it to "BAYGON" but then it was also, easy to figure out, so the prex proposed a word so unrelated to what we were doing, and he proposed, the name of one of my guy classmates, "Benjo" which in turn became synonymous with teacher, so when I say may benjo, it means may teaher.

*Yung mga swimming pag may birhtday, kasi kahit naman sa malabon lang kami nagswiswimmign nun, kumpleto naman kami, eh ngayon, magaya ka ng swimming 75% ng inaya mo di pede kasi may gagawin.

*ACP or Aerosapce CAdets of the Philippines, ito ang katumbas ng CAT, sa school namen, and I think kaya ko lang naenjoy to eh dahil sa officer ako, wakekekek, masaya lalo na pag may practice ng marching, kasi pag wala si Sir Caro, nagchichikahan lang kami. Xempre masaya din yung you get to boss around ung mga COCC, kasi ang handle ko nun eh COCC.

*yung mga words and expressions na naimbento namen or nareuse namen like:

Benjo: Already explained this

Ungas: Basta ungas ka yun na yun

Dispalinghado: sabog, haggard, spaced out

Dead Hungry: Patay gutom (thanks to mich)

Spank Soil: Hampas Lupa (mich agen)

President’s Cut: ibig sabihin wala ung teacher at ang President ang in charge sa class

Sabi ko nga: And sasabihin mo pag mali ung sinabi mo at kinorek ka ng isang tao

*Counter Strike afternoons, at Counter strike Kwento. Sila Berns ang may kasalanan nyan kugn bakti naadik ako sa CS, noon. Hehehe favorite pa nila nun ung lyrics na computer shop kasi imbes na FIre in the hole ang sinasabi ng character, and sinisigaw nya "Etong sayo!" Hehe, mas madalas ako nun sa Cyber fox, todo ang ingay ko nun, asal lalaki as always, kala nga daw nila (nung mga madalas maglaro dun sa comp shop na un) Ale na ako, un pla 3rd yr highschool pa lang. Kasama ko pa nun nung una ung mga barkada ng ate ko na mga 5 yrs older saken, computer kami hanggang 11pm. Mga 3-5 hours a day nung adictus days.

*Yung mga kagaguhan ng mga boys noon, tulad ng "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHh" DUg! stunt ni Benjo, yung synchronized swimming, na wala sa tubig ni Tan at Berns at yung pagprepretend nilang bodyguards, ni Anna (A.K.A. madam) nung nagpagupit sya at kamukha nya si GMA, pati ba naman pag recess sinasamahan pa nila sya.

*Yung time na everytime na may sabihing words ang teacher na may resenmblance sa lyrics ng kanta eh kinakanta namen ung song. Sa section namen, nung first year nauso to, pero nung 4th year, batikan dito ang IV- Piety

*Yung pagkanta namin dati ng "Alive alive alive forevermore, my jesus is alive, alive forevermore" everytime may makasagot ng isang mahirap narecitation question sa class. (1st yr H.S.)

*Yung pag-organize ng activities, naaalala ko nun pag activity week, nauubos ung tao sa classroom anmen, kasi lahat excused or nagpapaexcuse para gumawa ng activity sa kung saang club na malamang isa syang officer.

*Yung retreats, masaya toh lalo na overnight, makapagupload nga ng pics.

*Yung 1,2,3 pass, na pauso ni bau, kasi pag nakabuo ka, itatakbo nung nakbuo ung baraha at kung saan saan ibababa.

*Yung wheel of fortune pag walang teacher napasimuno din ni Bau.

*Ung cheering na kahit pasaway yung mga batchmates ko eh, nagawa namin ng mga nakakatakot na stunts, at mas masaya ng kinabukasan nong araw na yon, kasi, kahit pasaway sila lahat, dito lang kami nag-unite as a batch, when all the fourth years were supposed to wear blue, nagblack kami lahat, in silent protest of the results (di kami nanalo sa cheering competition, eh kahit mga teachers sabi kami daw dapat, hmph) at we got away with it,wearing black I mean, walang nagawa ang admin, supposedly kasi di pwedeng pumasok pag di suot ang batch colors, casual kasi nun kasi intrams, ang only requirement, nakablue dapat ang fourth years. Eh ano ba magagawa nila, eh ang mga bantay nun sa Gate to check kung naka batch colros ang mga taong pumapasok ay mga COCC, did I emtnion hawak ko sila that time? Hehehe di nila madeny ung mga officers na pumapasok, edi syempre ung iba din makakapasok. Hehe excuse namen nun, kasi month anniversary ni Paul, ang kabatch kong namatay ng wala sa oras.

Wala na kong maisp dagdagan mo na lang mamaya, gawin ko muna ung due kong artiks mamaya
