After High School .. what's next for me?

It's funny that I didn't notice that I'm older now, and I know I shouldn't be thinking of what am I gonna do in this summer, how will I enjoy this free time. Yeah it's summer, but there's more for me to just hang around and be like EAT,SLEEP,EAT,SLEEP and go to resorts and have fun with my friends. I don't have that kind of life that I could just relax because it's summer. I admit it, we're suffering from poverty and I must do something and not just to have some fun this summer. I'm older now, right? I have to find ways for us to have extra Income!

I have to find jobs and see? I even try to make money by blogging? but I also enjoy sharing my thoughts and thing in my daily life.

My friends and I have the same priorities this summer. TO HAVE A SUMMER JOB! we haven't tried to apply yet but, we're planning. Last week, my friends went here and told that there's a job hiring and they are accepting applicants for call center agent. Well, that's a good news!? because I really want to be a call center agent! So, I told him that I'm interested and he'll go to the place and ask what time can we go there and apply and also, the requirements that we will be giving them.

after that, we just talk and talk about our plans this summer. When we're about to go home, we saw a starbucks cafe. Then my friend told me, "they are accepting applicants" and then I saw another opportunity to have a job! so, we ask if there were still application forms. Luckily they still have.

When I was looking at the application form. I saw this SSS#. , T.I.N # and then I felt down cause I know it will take sometime to have this no. !! also, I have to get my medical examination because Starbucks cafe will be needing that. Oh men! well, that's a problem.

For now, I'm still waiting for my friend to call me to know if the call center company is still accepting clients! and I pray for that!

This is life after high school, I will start building my future and try to see where is the right path!

What I'm thinking now..

Now, I can't think of a reason why I was able to say "I will be stuck in here for four years!". Yes, maybe I said that before cause I don't really had an idea of what High School can bring to my life, to our lives! I think high school is a very important part of one's life. It made some changes and even improve me. But what I really misses about high school, is what it is made of. It full of challenges, full adventure, learning. And of course, full of happiness!

There is also things that I've learned not only in the lessons the teachers teaches and not only on in the things that is written in the books. But lessons of life while I was traveling this journey of my life. If I remember it so well, one of our teachers ask us ...

"hey, guys ... I got a question for you. What do you think is the greatest gift that you can give to a person?"

*I was thinking hard that time ... then,

"It's not money or either cars. No, not love ... you know what? its TIME "

* then I think ... yeah right! I was amaze when our teacher said that. Because she's right

"you can give love to other people. You can give love to your parents, to your friends and to all other people... but guys ... you can never give your time to all of them"

*I stop for a moment a think. These guys around me? they giving their time for us to have fun, they give their time to hang around. They had already given the greatest gift of all, THEIR TIME.

after the class, we cleaned up our messy room, turned off the lights and started walking home. While walking, there's so many thoughts that comes to my mind. And when I already got home, I ate my dinner, brushed my teeth and went to bed. I can't sleep that time. I was thinking of what are teacher said about Time. I think on other reasons why it was the greatest gift of all. And I felt like I want to cry. Cause I know this time will come, the time for us to go our separate ways and start building and preparing our futures. I found my self wishing "If I could just turn back the time" I'll go back on the moments we've shared and feel the happiness again. But it's just too impossible and I just have to admit ... "A second lost, is a second lost forever" that's how important TIME is.

What I was thinking before..

At first, I think High school is just another problem for me, A big big problem. I just can't imagine the things that I will be doing for 4 years in high school. I can still remember my self saying "I'm stuck in here for four years!".

When I was still a freshmen. Everything for me was new. New faces, new surroundings and new atmosphere. It took just a little time for me to adjust because I can hang around with other people easily! I made new friends. But I was still a good boy that time, you know? quiet and obedient student! but, as time goes by. I feel comfortable with everything around me and showed my sense of humor to everyone around me. That time, when I had my friends. I told my self, " hey, I think high school is somehow .. cool?!"

This is me ..

... This is Me ?! ...

Before I can finally say goodbye to my alma matter. I went over again and started thinking how everything did to me. If there was improvements that had happened to me after that 4 years of reading books, working on assignments, presenting activities, listening to the teacher while doing something else, running away from the school guard knowing we did something silly and having friends that I did not expect to love.

*What? look at yourself, you're a guy! a bad looking guy, not like those EMOtional girls that you saw crying with their friends on your recollection day...*

yeah right, it's not right for me to go EMO for saying goodbye to this crazy creatures

But every time I wake up in the morning, I'm still thinking if we have assignments to work, presentations to practice and surprise quizzes! Then suddenly, I'll notice and tell to my self "hey, I already finish with those things ?! I graduated." see? I'm like a freak! It's like waking up the second time! from that time, I mean it. I miss my CLASSMATES !! I miss school ! I know its not just me, I know lots of people are missing these days. Days when you still have the chance to just hang around with your classmates like you were still a child, remember the days when your crush ask you if you could help her/him with his/her assignments, when time comes that you have no other choice but to cheat! (hahaha) when there is still a chance ... to be a high school student.

This is us !!

Field Trips !!

we had field trips every year !! we go to historical places .. famous places, but we are only interested in SWIMMING at the end of the trip !! the only problem is, our skin gets darker and darker as we enjoy the field trip! And i know you already saw me and I don't have that white skin ..(this picture was my field trip when I'm still in the second year level) It's a sunny day, and we're all burned out !! wahaha. I can still remember this, they call this place the "8 waves" !

I remember every field trips that I attended. I also remember when I tried everything just to join our field trip. If I was right, that was when I was 2nd year high school. My mom told me "we can't afford that price !" and I look down while think, "there's so many things I'll miss if I don't do anything about this." Luckily, my teacher is so very helpful and wise. She thought for ways so that i could join our field trip. She let me borrow some money on our class fund and pay it later! That teacher is Mrs. Bulawin! She's a great teacher! ( so great!)

well, This teacher, Mrs. Bulawin is a 2nd year teacher. She master Science and BIOLOGY. When I first saw her. I can't take my eyes off her mouth. It's freaking me out when she talks, but I mean it, she's a good teacher!

I will always remember that, every night before we go home, she will command us to fall in line and ... SCRUB THE FLOOR ONE BY ONE !! haha.. I'll never forget that, because every 2nd year student is crossing that way and they are always seeing us scrubbing the floor! But thanks for Mrs. Bulawin, because she's a part of my high school life. I'll never forget her.



Our Field trip when I'm in my Fourth Year !!Our Last Field trip, really is unforgettable !! we enjoyed the trip from the very start, up to the very last minute !! i really miss those days .. In this picture, we were still in the ECO park, where I saw my Origin( monkeys) wahaha. I can still remember this, I think we were only three that requested to have a pic., then, they all came !! it's a royal rumble! But on the other side, it was kinda boring. Cause I don't have a hand to hold while I'm walking and exploring the places we've been. I have crushes, but they are already taken! I just have to wait for my turn ! hahahaha .. but see ? its nice(though it's blur) I attended all the field trips from 1st year to 4th year. sadly i was not able to have picture from them.

Sometimes, I was just thinking if our batch is the UNLUCKIEST batch. Wanna know why? because every year, from my 2nd year up to the last year(4th year), Our teacher are leaving us! First, our teacher in Math, Ms. Gorgonia. She left us and flew to California(am i correct?) I wonder how she's doing right now?! .. another is Ms. Acad, our teacher in MAPEH(music,arts,p.e and health.) she left and resigned as a teacher! Then Ms. Alcantara our adviser and teacher in Filipino, left and said that he will teach on 3rd year students! and last is Ms. Tolentino our teacher in English, left and flew to other country!

Ms. Tolentino is a great teacher. Actually, until her last days of her work as a teacher on our school, she told us to have our declamatory piece and recite it in front of our classmates with action! I got 98% from that last activity. If I can still remember, my declamatory piece is entitled "THE RICH MAN AND THE POOR MAN"

I was so anxious before I was called to recite in front. I thought of everything I have to do, breathe deeply and started my declamation! I did well, of course, that's why I had a grade of 98%.

Behind the CLASS PICTURE

ofcourse .. every year, we are having our class picture !! but .. here are the BEHIND THE PICTURE on our class picture !! we are just hanging around .. waiting for our School Principal to arrive (because she have to be in every class Picture) .. I can still remember that most of us don't have ID's. We're so dead that time, so our teacher borrowed some of ID's in other sections.
And the funny thing is, they don't mind the principal !! they are just busy talking with each other even when our school principal told them to keep quiet ! yeah, we're so dead that time.

I don't like the attitude of our school principal that time (but not anymore) .. because she's so OVERACTING on things! you know that? like, they are seeing all of what you're doing! a simple accessory in my wrist and she saw me at the corridor. She's always telling me "REMOVE THAT SOMETHING FROM YOUR WRIST ! " and all I can do is to follow her, even though it's so stupid!

That's one good thing about graduating from high school. We will have now our academic freedom. We can do almost everything we want! long hair, wear earrings. But still, not enough to the happiness high school brings. Though its killing me to do my assignments,even I'm too lazy to review for the chapter test tomorrow ... even though I don't like the things that I've been doing in my 4 years of studying ... this are the reasons why I'm missing high school.
