i still can't get over you...

since yesterday, i've seen a lot of people blog about their year, and how they've had so much fun during the school year. the three blogs that caught my biggest attention were elaine's, chio's, and kristine's. after reading all of them, i said to myself, what have we done for God to bless us with such a beautiful class? there have been so many memories to cherish, treasure, and relish this year. i wouldn't have ever predicted that this year would have been what it had been. allow me to take you back to the things i am thankful for this year.

when i first came to sophomore-c, i thought that it would be a normal year, just like the previous years, with new classmates, and losing a lot of old classmates. i arrived seeing that the classroom was flooded, and that the aircon wasn't working. gee, i thought, is this a sign of things to come? then i realized that many of my former classmates were coming back to the honor section since a lot of people that were supposed to be in our class decided to switch sections. as we got to know each other, i realized that this class wasn't the same class that had been there the previous years. we were filled with many new people, each having their own personalities. the year pretty much continued that way, with each of us trying to get along with everybody and get to know them better. the year continued with us having a lot of ups and downs. i considered it a big blessing that we were winning so many awards, and i was amazed that God loved us so much. whenever we were given a contest, we responded to the call and gave it our all. the many different personalities in class came together and had teamwork. we offered everything we did to God. with the help of our adviser, we became very active in prayers, often singing praise songs and many of us participating in religion-related groups such as lsyc and yfc (i consider not joining in at least one of these as a wasted blessing). we used these as an inspiration to go forward, and these helped us win the contest we were joining. success was there for us at all times, because of our drive and passion. we never gave it up, even if it seemed as if we couldn't do anything anymore. i loved this characteristic of our class so much. when the last subject of the school year ended, i was almost in tears as i said goodbye to people, hugging them and waving, and i took a mental photograph of the class as one, visible group, just having a happy time. i wouldn't forget this picture until the day i die. then, i came to wonder what is in store for the class next year, with us parting ways. i just hope it would be at least half as good as this year.

i had so many memories this year. some were bad, but most were good. we had so many laughs, and some of the cries, but all of these formed us together as one. even if there were so many hardships along the way, homeworks and projects and friendship problems, i believe that i was fortunate to be part of this class, and experience all the things that i had experienced during the year. we were able to get through all the obstacles given to us and tackle them with might. yesterday night, i dreamt of being there once more, to the practices, the meetings for projects, the gimmicks, the parties, and everything else. i remembered and recounted on all the things we did this year. i reminisced on the times we had together and how our class seemed to be almost perfect. after all of these, i smiled and thought, "what have i done to deserve such happiness?"

to all my sophomore c classmates, thanks so much for all the memories you have shared with me. thank you for being there for me every step of the way. even though you always tease me and stuff, hehe, i had a lot of fun during the year, and i wouldn't give it away for anything. i wouldn't make this specific anymore, because you know who you special people are anyway. through the tough times and the happy times, these people made my life great and complete this year: monique, mariel, bea japan, mark b, hannah, chio, isaw, kat, johann, kristine, dom, sam, jebi, martin, michael, alan, elaine, jackie, dainie, gliza, steph, angeline, mel, rodney, jenny, karen, manda, sam, steph, stephen, cara, francis, sarah, mark s, beaaa, steven, ramona, alfred, binky, ms. rogador. thank you. i will always treasure you guys in my hearts.

to all those that would go away next year, i would miss you all. i loved every moment that we were together this year. hope we could continue to go out and have fun even if we are not classmates anymore. oh, balik kayo ng 4th year ha. promise niyo yan, hehe.

I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life baby baby
I want something else
I’m not listening when you say
Good-bye

*btw, happy birthday eibee.
