Simply Reminiscin': High School Life Let's take a
trip down memory lane...
Now let me put this straight. :) This page is specially provided for my very, very
special high school buddies. My friends who contributed a lot in what I am right now.
I'm not sayin' that I have achieved a lot of things but I believe in my
own little way I have. And one of the top reasons for that- is because I
have many friends who have been very supportive to me through the years.
I know this page wouldn't be enuff to let you know how grateful I am for having
friends like you. But anyways...
My pretty friends who call themselves ... Hmnn... Can you still recall that? Well, that stands for Sheilah, Hazel (that's me, k? I just added "le" to my name when I started travellin' in cyberspace L-O-L!), Ava, Dinie and Eden -- and the next 5 letters refer to their other names. Well, what should I say? All of these friends o' mine are becomin'
more goodlookin' as years passed by. Truth is: I can hardly recognize them.
Pardon me 'k? But I'll be placin' things here as far as what my MEM (memory) gives me, k?
I'm not much into networkin' with these pretty girl friends o' mine... we're
still plannin' to put up one big international networkin' entity for the POWER
Batch '91 of Mindanao State University. We'll be workin' on that sooner, k? Lemme start with the "S" of the group. Sheilah is workin' in the municipality of Alabel. She's the boss there... 'tho I'm not really sure what department. :) Anyways, our batch will always remember her as the one and only "baby" in their family. Hey, I hope you're not mad at me, Shei. :) So who's next? Ava. She's as pretty as ever. My hyper co-officer in CAT. I bet she's in the noblest profession: teaching. But 'til now I don't know much about her- particularly her lovelife. She prefers to keep it a secret... Hmnn... The question now: How long would that secret last? l-o-l (laughin out loud)! If I can still recall back in our Sophomore year... I was taller than her and we were just surprise when we entered our Junior year and she was very much ahead of us (in terms of height!). How did that happen? And when we asked her about her secret- she told us: she drinks plenty of water. Oohh... We never knew water has that growth power. Anyways, we tried it, but it didn't work for us. Sorry... Btw, Dinie used to be Ms. Makati, now she's Ms. Ortigas... how's that? :)
Now, how could I ever forget my long time cute (she defines that word as
"fair and fat", 'hope I remember it right...l-o-l!) bestfriend.
I really don't know why on earth she had the patience to listen
to my wistful stories... We were still in Grade 4 then. While waiting
for our parents to pick us up, we'd talk and talk- and I never thought
I was that good in makin' up stories... and 'was very articulate too.
While the truth was: I always consider myself as a listener rather than a talker.
But in our case, t'was kinda different. Eden is the youngest in our Batch, and they say "the bravest"; "the first one to tie the knot." :) She's presently in the US with David. I bet she's very happy with her own life now... Eden, We're sorry 'coz we can't come on your child's baptismal party... Wishin' you and your FAMILY the BEST!
What about They will always be my cool friends... So where is Christye "Tetet"? I bet she's still playin' it cool in the largest city in the country, the city of Eagles. Ronna is pursuin' Medicine, oh boy she just have the "it". I can always remember Ronna the way she laughs... a real laughter, not an ounce of pretense and inhibition. Those last 2 words were not just in her vocabulary. And what about the Top Debater of the Year- Sharon Hope? She's studyin' right now in Aussie... Her counterpart: Gerald Faciol aka "Prog2", now an Engineer. Oh boy, he made it to Top 11! Who's the other one? Naya, the math whiz is also a top Electrical Engineer in Iligan. Theresa is also pursuin' the noblest profession- that of a teacher. I bet these girls do not have any plan of settling down. Or am I just not updated on their whereabouts... Anyways, let's just wait and see... as the saying goes: "silent waters run deep." We can never tell, right? Btw, we won 2nd Place in our experiment in Science exhibit. September 1986. T'was when I found my new group of friends. We call it
the RAGE2. Composed of Roleen Grace, Alona (the "4 ever cutie", Girlie Christine (the "runner"),
Emelyn (the "pitcher"; softball champ and Ms. Beautiful Girl '91) and Edna, the Class Valedictorian.
I can still recall how we spent our free time munchin' those green mangoes...
Bernard, wherever the road of life may take you, always remember that our
FRIENDSHIP will always be there. Thanks for makin' me feel important. You're
such a very good friend, a buddy and a big brother to me. As the over used
phrase goes: "words are not enough to express how I feel." The best things
in life are not merely seen by the naked eyes nor can it be heard from a
distance, but most of them are felt by the heart. IWABTFY.
To Joel, aka , our youngest buddy, our Batch is very proud of you for makin' it to Top 4 of the Occupational Therapist Board Exam. Congatulations! You deserve all the BEST things in life. 'Hope you'll eventually find your Ms. Right. Hmnn... I remember when we're still in our junior year and we both attended that COLT (Cadet Officers Leadership Training) in Calumpang. Everybody was thinkin' that he's my older brod 'coz we have the same surnames (and maybe modesty aside, we're both goodlookin' hahaha!:-D). Obviously, ('thoI know he doesn't want to hear this: I look younger *l-o-l*) Pls. don't get mad at me, k? I know you feel the same.... :-) Anyways, just kiddin'... But I tell ya' he was kinda annoyed that time, that he brought that guy in front of me and commandin' me to tell that guy that he's not my older brod, 'coz we're not even relative. That was it! The of the group: Belteshazzar aka "Bilog". He's now in Malaysia, takin' up Masters in Law and busy earning big bucks. Keep goin, Bilog! So how's everythin' goin'on there? I hope we're not bein' too nosy but have you found the girl of your dreams? Let us know, k? Don't worry you will hear no objections from us...:)l-o-l! What about ... I've had fond mem'ries of him. I'm not sure if he can still recall them. But he's such a very nice, smart and lovable fellow. He loves pourin' out his true feelings to his few true friends... He's one of my best buddies. Coy, 'wish you the coolest things in life. You simply deserve them...if you have the Lea Salonga look alike and Ms. Close Up - what else could you ask for? Goodluck! The (I'm not sure if I spelled it right, anyways feel free to send your comments, k?)- who would ever forget these beauty, brains & "bread" babes? Hmnn... Just ignore the last one, k? Anyways, Rosebeth aka "Betot" is always on top of the group by just lookin' at the "height", you don't have to ask why. She's the "ate" of the group. Then we also have Len-len, the editor-in-chief and no. 1 fan of Tom C. :) Amel, she's quiet and most of the time mingles with her equally pretty friends: Amy (the "music lover" and "food addict"), Dinie Ducz and Ann aka "Tender". I'm just wonderin' what these girls are talkin' about... but I'm sure "boys" is on top of their list. [I hope they wouldn't kill me for this.]

I know we'll be friends for life Sharing our dreams together As we walk down the road We never think twice These mem'ries are made forever. Though we're on the different worlds. Somehow we're together No we'll never far apart 'Coz dep within our hearts These are the times to remember The memories will last forever more These are the times to remember This part of life you can recall These are the times. With happy tears we cry As we reach for the stars together We have by your code To stand side by side And it just keeps on getting better. When we're on the different worlds Somehow we're together No we'll never far apart 'Coz deep within our hearts These are the times to remember The memories will last forever more These are the times to remember 'Coz it's there in your heart forever more. Yes, dreams do come true They're up to me and you When all there gonna this time The happiness will shine through These are the times to remember The memories will last forever more These are the times... These are the times... " Thank you" is one of those wonderful phrases people use to express a special gratitude. But there's often a lot more to it than those two words can say. When it comes from the heart, from deep inside the nicest feelings and the most special thoughts, "Thank you"means so much. It means thank you for taking the time to show that you care. It means "you really made my day," and sometimes it means that you really make all the days so much better. It means you make me feel so nice, and I wish I could do the same for you... just by letting you know how much you mean to me. "Thank you" means you didn't have to... but I'm so grateful that you did. "Thank you" means that you've done something special that I'll never forget.
