Summer photos! Boy do I miss random mornings, impromptu lunches, shopping trips, and dinners. I think these were taken sometime in July? I started the day by having breakfast with Iya (and bumping into everyone from UA&P haha) always a treat!

When Louie and the rest…

Aw I miss this!!

(Gosh. My dorkiness in every photo is so weird.)

Tonight was a fun night online thanks to my high school schoolmates. 
We got itsmorefuninSPCP, StPaul and SPCP trending after we all went down memory lane together.
People posted things that we Pasig Paulinians could relate to regarding our alma mater. Everything from teachers, buildings, subjects, to the so-called “Paulinian trademarks” =))
It’s almost 3am and we’re still on a roll. 
P.S. I know you also believe that itsmorefun in *insert your school here* and I would like to stress that we get that. We’re just crazy weirdos up at late hours posting tweets about what we enjoyed about our school so it got to the trends of the Philippines. No hate.

It even trended til early this afternoon, I think.
Reblogging this because I’m proud to be an alumna of the high school where I met the CRAZIEST and FUNNEST school mates ever! And we are crazy weirdos for tweeting 2084628910 times. Haha!
And I don’t see how this can spark up some weird school rivalry. We’re all proud of the schools we graduated from but c’mon, we never put down any school in our tweets. So you Zobel haters, stop comparing yourselves to SPCP and just find something to be proud of instead of insulting Pasig Paulinians.

bring out the grade schooler inside of you!

May 1, 2011

I only learned about Mia’s party on the day itself! Thanks Mikee for giving me a heads up about it! Fortunately the venue was reaaally near my house so whoo! I was excited to go because I haven’t seen my GS classmates since last year!

I arrived and saw ‘em taking loads of photobooth pictures. Haha!

The program started shortly after we took some more photo booth pictures. (we took a loooooot)

They showed this old slideshow. Ewwww spot the old fugly Iya! hahaha

Grade school table whoooo! Our class was incomplete though :(

We reminisced and laughed at every memory we could remember from grade school. The good ol’ days!

It was awesome how we all talked to each other as if we never split up into different schools 5 years ago.

Some of us were part of the program (18 roses, candles) so we cheered our former classmates. HAHA. We didn’t know why but it seemed appropriate (lol hell no, we were the rowdiest in the whole hall) at that time. 

Hahaha photo booth abuse!

After party time!

We were the only ones who were really dancing and having fun. Some of Mia’s batchmates (from CSB, I think) were just sitting down! :( Booooo.

I don’t really remember much from the program (lol sorry) but I remember having soooooo much fun with these guys! I miss their hyper-ness and sick jokes haha. 

Good times.
