High School Classmates

I was browsing my album and saw several pictures of my high school days. I attended my 1st and 2nd year high school at Father Urios at Butuan City. But my family transferred to Cagayan de Oro and I was enrolled at Corpus Christi School where I attended my 3rd and 4th year high school. I was one of the pioneering class so there were only few of us who graduated from that school. I guess there were only 24 of us...

I don't have recent pictures of my HS classmates so I will just share with you the pictures taken years ago...

I was on the 2nd row, rightmost, with a sticker that says "Now that's class":D

The Search Is Over :-)

This picture was taken so many years ago. I joined the search for Miss Freshman and I ended up 1st runner-up. I was nominated by my classmates and teacher to represent our class, First Year Section Tindalo (it's a name of a tree), and although shy, I consented. But I think it was my mom who was excited for this contest...

I can still vividly recall the question asked to me: "Do you agree to have a steady boyfriend at the age of 13?"
And I answered: "No, because it disturbs my studies."

Actually, I was only 12 years old when I joined this contest. Backstage, my mom told me I could have answered "Yes, because it serves as my inspiration". She said a positive answer was more favorable for the judges.... And in my mind, I was like, Halllleeer! As if she won't freak out if that would happen in reality! Besides, I was very conservative so my answer obviously came from my heart :-)

I was still happy of the result. It was even scary if I won the title because I still have to compete another pageant and I couldn't take that anymore. But looking back I say it was a nice experience. I think I had fun and the support of my classmates, class adviser and friends was overwhelming. Well, this is one of the highlights in my high school life and I kinda miss it...

Electrifying Youth :-)

A picture of a 15 year old teenybopper who was a big fan of Phoebe Cates and Debbie Gibson. You can see their posters on the wall, right?

Well, okay, that girl was me and I miss those good ol days. I guess I was in third year high school when this picture was taken... And those posters were given to me by my best friends.

Gosh, can't believe that was years ago!

Nostalgia: High School Life

One of my turning points in life was when I officially became a teenager! In this picture, I just turned 13 and I had a happy celebration with my 1st-year classmates/barkadas at home. My mom prepared snacks for us and a cake with candles for me to blow.

This picture was taken at the lawn outside our house in Butuan City. We stayed there for 3 years and then left for good to Cagayan de Oro City. I still miss this place for the people there were nice to me :-)

And oh, if you have a hard time looking for me at this pic, I'm the one with long hair and grinning from ear to ear =)
