Listening to: "Nostalgia" by Star Love Fish
Thinking: about high school ;_;
Feeling: nostalgic

Today, I went back to my high school to get some papers (requirements for my graduation from college :x). But before that, I had lunch with Memer and KC, my HS friends. :) We talked and ate and spazzed...

I was looking forward to this day for weeks. :D Actually, I even dreamt about it last night. @_@ I can't remember what it was about exactly, only that I saw some old high school teachers and stuff. :P

It took us quite a while to get to our HS... After all, it was raining. -_-;; When we got there, the security guard asked us why we came. o_o I said I just needed to get some papers from the Dean's Office. I recognized him right away, but it took him a while to recognize me and my friend too. ^^; So he got our IDs and then gave us visitors' passes. Feels like it was just yesterday that I didn't need one because I had my school ID. T_T

Then we went to the Principal's Office. But before we got there, the property custodian stopped us. He asked us where we were going, and I said we were going to the Principal's Office. :) So he said, "Are you sure you're graduates of this school?" and I said, "Of course we are, Mang Alex!" Haha. XD Turns out he was just joking... He recognized us too. :)

So we went inside the Principal's Office. It still looked the same... The secretary was still there... Everyone was still there. o_o But the people inside the Faculty Room were different. T_T Turns out most of the teachers during our time left to work at other places. :( I barely recognized the teachers. ._.;;

But Ma'am Uri (my English/Literature teacher for 2 years) was there, typing away at a computer. :) I asked her how she was, and she said she was okay. We chatted for a while. She even swatted my butt! *lmao* XD She was like, "You've gotten so tall!" She asked me if I was always absent from my classes (like I was back in high school) and I said I had perfect attendance. XD She said, "If you were like that back in high school, you would've been an honor student." :) Then she asked me if I was a Dean's Lister, and I said yes. Then she asked me how my mom was (haha, everyone asks me how my mom is XD). We chatted a bit more after that. Then the principal came in, and Ma'am Uri asked him if he remembered me. He said, "Of course I remember! I remember her mother, too!" HAHAHA. He wasn't the principal back when I was in high school though, he was my Agriculture teacher in sophomore year. :D

We left soon after that... The secretary told me to come back after a week (actually, she recognized me too XD). :) So I'll be going back~ :D

I felt like crying... T_T All these memories came rushing back to me like a flash flood. Happy and sad memories. At the same time, I sorta regretted not being more...active back in high school. Maybe if I studied harder, maybe if I participated in more activities, maybe if I was more outgoing... Maybe things would've turned out differently. But I'm happy where I am right now. I'm glad I was an outcast in high school because if I wasn't, I wouldn't have met my wonderful friends. :P Everything happens for a reason. :)

Everything looked almost the same, but there were slight differences. When we went to the canteen, the food on display was different. XD (Duh, of course, Justine! XD) Back when we were in high school, they didn't have Bread Pan or C2 or any of the other stuff they have now. Heck, our canteen didn't even have walls back then. XD Only a roof. So we always got drenched whenever there were typhoons. :P

While we were at the canteen, it started raining harder. o_o Memer said, "It's like they (whoever's up there, maybe God :P) don't want us to leave yet." Haha! So we reminisced about stuff.

Dang. T_T I miss high school. T_T Life back then used to be so simple. When I was actually in high school, life seemed harder. But when I look back on it, it was really simple... :x I'd like to go back to that time when my "problems" weren't actually problems. ^^;;

I've become so much more responsible, independent and outgoing since then... But I don't think I've changed that much. :P Haha. I still spazz loudly. I still love chocolate as much as I did 4 years ago. :P Some things just never change. ^^

*sigh*

I can't explain how I feel right now... I was REALLY happy earlier. It was like going back home... Except that "home" wasn't home, but a school. Haha. :P

I remembered G... T_T Dang. I think I miss him. ;_; I feel like telling him all about what happened today. I wonder if he misses high school too. :x Seeing all these places... Like the place where we used to walk in the rain together while he held my umbrella, our old classroom, our "camping site"... T_T

It's painful to realize that you've grown up and left a lot of good things behind, only to discover that you can't go back and retrieve them. They're all frozen in my memory now, to remain there only for as long as I can remember them. :( What if I forget? Will there be someone to remind me of them? T_T

*sigh*

I was supposed to spazz about some "developments" between me and G, but I guess I'll save that for another entry. ^^

I apologize for not updating sooner... T_T I got really busy with our case presentation (which we did yesterday). It's a huge part of our final grade for our major subject. :x But I guess I'll be updating soon because my schedule isn't as packed anymore. :D
