The Best Years

I noticed more than 50 percent of my friends in Facebook are my batchmates and schoolmates from high school.

Now I miss high school.



I miss a lot of things. Really.

High school has been my favourite time of all. You don’t worry a lot of things except looking good to get your target’s attention and getting good grades so your parents won’t have to be called during PTA meetings and be informed of your performance in school. In my case, I dread PTA meetings and I don’t want my parents to be there because nosy teachers tend to talk a lot. Eh malandi pa naman ako nung high school kaya oftentimes it’s always my being flambouyant and slutty that gets me into trouble.

I hate those teachers. Walang ginagawa kundi magsumbong ng magsumbong sa nanay kong talakera. Hahaha! Mabuti na lang at nakakabawi ako sa grades. In fairness, never akong nakakuha ng palakol.

My favourite subject ever is our elective majors. Cooking and dressmaking is of course is my forte but I super like our Electricity and Automotive Mechanics classes because we are an all-boys class. And you know, as the saying goes, “When the cat’s playmates are away, the gay mice will take over”.

Bwahahaha!

Meanwhile, during February, we always have this one-week event where all high school students camp within the college grounds.




We do hiking for a whole day, campfire during the night and bond with all the students for a whole week. It’s very tiring but it’s best experience ever in high school kahit itanong niyo pa sa lahat ng alumni ng aming school. Well, at least sa pagkakaalam ko. Hahaha!

During lunch and late afternoon breaks on regular days, my barkada and I make tambay at the university symbol called ‘The Eagle’ where we do impromptu Miss Gay question & answer portion and Quiz Bee.



Doon din kami tumatambay for boy-watching and inaabangan naming dumaan ang aming college crushes.

Haaaay.

I miss those times.

If only I could turn back the hands of time, I would. I had a few regrets kasi that I want to change.

If my schoolmates are reading this, I wanna tell you I miss you guys.

You were a part of the best years of my teenage life. Thank you.
