Last Saturday, I went to my Mom’s house in Sampaloc to get a few of the things that I left. I was able to get my study table (a gift from my Granddad when I was about 5 years old), the computer monitor, the table and my big box of docs…
When I was checking out the docs later that afternoon, my hands fell upon dozens of Autograph (Note) books. Tuloy, I went back to the memories all over again…
On one autograph book, there were the names of Jennifer, Cristina, Karenn, Dyan, Pamela, and Mae Anne…they were my classmates in elementary…good friends…the ones I usually talk to during recess and lunch time…it made me wonder how they are now…are they single or married or in a relationship? Do they have kids or not?
There were some autographs naman that I got during high school. As I read the profiles of Layla, Ever, Chic. Reagan, Charlie, Juno, Dyanne, Cherry, Irma, Carmel, Abby, Rochelle, Rustom and Maja (who filled a lot of pages of the autographs), I couldn’t help but smile…My happiest days in high school kasi were spent with them…and reading all about them again made me reminisce how everything was when I was young…all the things we have all been through together just flashed back in my mind that it brought both a smile in my lips and tears in my eyes…(para akong praning shet!)
I also saw an autograph with profiles of my friends when I was still in 3rd year...most of them were from Batch '98 (4-Sales sila noon)...hay...I miss them sobra...
Then I saw a couple of autographs, which I got in 1st year high school…
WAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! Who would’ve thought that I would see the name of my crush back then! And I can’t even imagine now that “Yeah, crush ko nga siya!”, and that I even wrote his name using the best penmanship I could ever use…and using my first Parker!
My God! Nakakahiya!!!!
The guy is somebody from I-Bonifacio…a mysterious but somehow troublesome cutie pie…HECK! Siya nga ang crush ko noon…I was totally head over heels over that freaking cutie…but I never told anyone about it…because common “crush” siya back then…Be it girls, be it gays…crush siya talaga! If ever he gets the chance to read this…Oh my God! Kakahiya talaga! Pero knowing him, he would probably just be silent about it…deadma yun eh. And besides, we haven’t talked for a while na rin, so I guess he will never read this post ever!
Another name filled most of the autographs…and an old journal, which until now, my mom would tease me about…a journal, which kept all my dreams, my young romance, my heartaches, and my life with this certain guy…
Siya na yon…my ex…Bij…
I loved him so much, yet he was the first person who hurt me.
Anyway, as I was reading the entries, I couldn’t help but think: “PUTANG INA! AKO BA TALAGA ANG NAGSULAT NITO?? KAKADIRI! NO WONDER INAALASKA AKO NG MOMMY KO!”
Oh well…memories, memories…
