Ahh. High school. :)
I was the second to the last to arrive. I don't know, but I kinda felt happy right at that moment. Seeing some high school friends is fun! Roxanne, my labs, gave us some invitations for her upcoming birthday celebration! She's turning 18 and she wants us to come and join her on May 23, her day. Of course, I wouldn't let my friend down, she was there on my birthday, that's why. :)
Alas! Carlo arrived! We immediately stood up, and walked towards inside the adobe walls of our Alma Mater.
As we entered, some faculties were there, sitting and having their chit-chat moments. They greeted us and gave us some warm compliments. Of course, we don't want to meddle around so we just continued to walk. :)) LOL JK.
Me and the others passed through a hallway which I was not familiar at first. The grade school corridor has changed! Unlike before upon entering, you will see rooms that were separated only by wall dividers. Now, it's all air-conditioned! What a start of touring the school!
We ended at a gate leading to the OLG building, where our former classroom is located. I smiled and looked above the sky, peeping through the concrete walls. I remembered when I was in my fourth year, I cannot finish a day at school without passing by at that place. So many memories have been gathered in my thoughts.
We went up at the second floor to go to the library. I can't believe my eyes! I am in front of our former classroom! Stepping inside, I looked around to check if there had been changes. I saw nothing. It's just that our blackboard is not there and the armchairs and there are full of books inside. Later did I know that we were the last batch to use that room. I felt pity for the lower batch. They should have experienced the joy of using that classroom! It had a stage and a terrace. It was so perfect! Spacious! Even though it was only separating from two classrooms by just a fold-able divider.
We met the librarian and asked for our yearbook. She'd let us sign at a notebook to put our names there. She distributed the yearbook to us and we quickly took a glimpse of ourselves inside. After that, we bid goodbye to the librarian and we went down. I didn't know where we are heading after so I just followed my friends.
We were at the high school quadrangle. Seeing it like that, bulldozed and full of gravel. The old building's gone! :( We were all disappointed. That building can still be used. Sayang lang talaga. Ang daming memories dun.
We didn't waste any moment! Carlo grabbed his BlackBerry and took some pictures of the place. We posed for the camera and smiled! Picture over here, picture over there! Of course, hindi ako magpapahuli. I grabbed my iTouch and took some pictures of them. It was so nice to see such people, people who've been a part of my high school life. Here are some shots of us! :D
We giggled and fizzled! A good laugh really can save a day. :)
After having enough, we left the quadrangle, passed by the lambingan bridge, the grade school quadrangle, and the guard house. We were back again at the patio. Pictures didn't stop there!
It's so fascinating to have my friends around. My high school friends. They are just like, eh, one of a kind! Time may have passed, people may have changed, but these guys for sure, they'll remain the same. :)
