I never expected that my Freshman Year would end that fast. I mean, I could still remember my first day, when everyone didn't know each other and were too shy to talk. And when time has passed, we all became closer and our shyness vanished. We indeed became closer and we turned into a family. Oh really? EDISON, my First Year non-biological family. Well, I love all of my classmates! And I will surely miss them all. The times we've spent together, the laughters we've shared and the precious memories we've had... I will certainly cherish every bit of it. I would like to express my gratitude to each and everyone. Not only to my fellow Edisonians but to all of my fellow first years and to my beloved teachers as well.

My Freshman Year was indeed an awesome one. All thanks to my friends, schoolmates and teachers. At first, I thought that high school would be full of schoolwork, a need of concentration and focus and no time for fun at all. Nevertheless, my thought was completely wrong. The mere fact that we tend to have quizzes all the time, discussions here and there, examinations every month, there's still room for F U N. Yes, we still managed to have fun besides all the fuss. Indeed, I will truly miss the bonding. Especially when we laugh about different things, I'll truly miss that. The times when Sir Friday would discuss humorously and he'd make the whole class giggle. I'll miss the times when Ma'am Ana would scold us for doing something wrong. The times when Ma'am Anne would make us all teary-eyed due to the sad discussions which involve family and other problems. I wish I could mention them all, but surely it will result to a lengthy blog. I will miss everything.

I was right. High school is indeed different from elementary. Why, you asked? Because the fun, friendship and learning is absolutely unlike. In elementary, the teachers were so strict. In high school, some of the teachers let us eat during class. One thing I like about high school is that, most of the time, the teachers aren't around 'cause they're too busy doing whatsoever. Free time, baby! The best. In elementary, the examinations are so freakin' hard and the test papers consist of minimum of 4 pages, I think? However, in high school, even though the exams are held each month, the exams are so darn easy (that is if you study:P). The discussions might get boring and the school activities that you're too lazy to do but at the end of the day, your day will be filled happiness and joy.

I loved my first year in MG High. Hopefully, Sophomore Year would turn into a blast as well. I was involved in trouble a few times.. No sweat! We made a lot of idiosyncrasy this school year and I'm pretty sure that we'll be making loads of idiosyncrasies until high school ends. I mean, it's a part of high school. If you don't get into trouble, eventually, you're a loser, or simply a nerd. I admit, I tend to be nerdy sometimes, because I'm a study freak and I always want to be the highest when it comes to scores, but I assure you, I'm not one of those crybabies or those losers. I'm one of the cool ones, I'm telling you. Ask my friends! In fact, I incline to be a bully slash meanie at times. I've been to the principal's office, too! SSHH. Yeah boy, I'm that troublesome. >:)

First Year has also taught me a lot of things. I learned to believe in myself and to disregard what others say about you. If they tell you bad things that could make you think negatively, don't listen to them and just prove them that they're completely wrong. Do your best to ascertain that those bad things aren't real. Perhaps they just envy you so they exert effort in bringing you down. As time has passed, I learned how to face all the challenges and to overcome all the struggles. I thought that I won't be able to increase my rank in the Overall Top Ten. But from the 10th rank, I became top 7. I was surprised, actually. I thought to myself... My hard work paid off. Thanks to my "inspiration", from top 10, I rose to top 7. :)

Freshmen Year did blow past like a flash and now it has come to an end. Our journey has already begun, and we must continue the journey until we achieve our goals. ♥

No long time no see, eh? xp Sorry then. I've been busy. Haha! So how's everyone? Me's fine, very fine. I think.

I'm a freshman! Do you know that? :D

It's very fun to be in high school, I have to say. It makes me happy to wake up every morning, take a bath, eat breakfast and head to my wonderful school, MG. I go inside the gate, put my bag on the table at the White House and waits for the CAT officers to shout out, "LINE NA FLAG NA!" and that's the time for us to line up for the flag ceremony. Oh the happiness. :)

High school is completely different from elementary. Why? Hm. Let me see. The food. In elem, there are tons of junk food. But in HS, there are only few. Soft drinks in elem, not allowed in HS. Haha. It might sound that we're in misery, but I'm used to it. I'm starting to love Minute Maid, as a matter of fact. What else? Uh. In highschool, if the teacher's gone, we're allowed to do anything we want but we must be quiet. Haha! That's what I love the most. And and, Sir Al is the best! He allows us to eat during class. But our section's grounded. LOL! So yeah, we love Sir Al. The teachers are also different. Sir Friday, the funny teacher, is unlike our old Science teacher. He discusses the lesson and makes us laugh at the same time. Great teacher! Sir Karl is a nice English teacher as well. I love all my teachers! Although, when I was in elementary, I hated some of my teachers. No comment lol. The clubs! Oh yeah, there are no clubs in elementary. But here in high school, there are loads of 'em! I'm a member of Media, Interact and Science club. Plus I'm the 1st year representative of the Supreme Student Council. Whoops! You don't know about that yet, huh? Alright then, I'll tell you all about it. ;)

July 10, 2009 -- SSC Grand Rally. I was under the banner of BIDA (Brilliant Individualds for Development and Action which was under the leadership of Philiamer Amity T. Celi. Okay, so our rehearsals were hella fun! It was the latest time I ever went home during school days. Haha! The latest was 10. Yes, I went home at 10PM and I didn't get scolded! I think. LOL. We had our practices at Ate Nikki's and Ate Amity's house. My speech was impromptu. Not entirely, but some parts of it. I loved the debate! Haha. The SSC was tons of fun. After the elections, there it was! Results. I got 52 votes while my opponent, Nicole San Pedro got 11 votes. I'm not bragging, I'm just being proud. :) There are 4 who won from BIDA and the rest was from MISMO. So happy!

July 17, 2009 -- THE FEST. Was a blast! I had fun in my first fest, now I can't wait for the upcoming fests. Haha. So I joined the essay writing, July 15, I think. And I also joined the nutrition quiz. I was with Jhuliano & Frenzys. Guess what! We won 2nd place, yayy. Our nutrijingle was a wreck but believe me, that day was the best! Our section's representatives for the cookfest were Mary, Izumi and Gio. What they cooked tasted delish. Haha. Other years' nutrijingles were very funny and amazing.

July 21, 2009 -- Awarding Ceremony. So they first announced Essay Writing winners.. I was crossing my fingers that time, hahaha. And I was like saying, "I hope I win! Even 3rd place would do". They first announced 3rd and 2nd place. I was kinda losing hope. Then, Ma'am Ana said, "the 1st placer is from I-Edison!". Then I was surprised. I heard, "CLARISSE ZAPLAN". Applause! Wooh. I went up the stage and got my medal. Awesome! Afterwards, we received our medals from the nutriquiz. They announced the winners for the nutrijingle. 1st place goes to Pascal. Congrats! And they announced the overall champion. The trophy goes to I-Dalton. Congratulations, fellow 1st years! :D

July 24-25, Preliminary Exams. It wasn't that hard for me. My scores are okay, I guess. I'm not that contented, though. Haha. I'll just do my best during Finals. :P

Gotta love high school! :)

I was once a pre-school student in MGP (Mother Goose Playskool). I learned how to write, read and do Mathematics. I graduated preparatory school 6 years ago. And I've struggled through those many obstacles I've experienced through the years. But then again, I managed to unravel them. Pre-school was our first step to success. However, elementary made us all realize how important every single day is, that we should no longer put aside things we can do right away. Yes, 6 years have flourished in all of our lives. We were taught almost everything. From ABC's to algebraic expressions, from the words "cat" and "dog" to enunciating difficult words.

Questions are perturbing in my mind. All those years that we've been through, every question pops into my head. Was it last year when I was a clueless and innocent child? Was it last year when I celebrated my 8th birthday in our classroom? Was it last year when Corinne and I offered flowers during our First Communion? Was it last year when I lost my friend 'cause she had to go to USA? Was it last year when I celebrated my 11th birthday at the mall? Was it last month when I became a 6th grader? Was it last month when our final exams ended? Was it last week when we started having graduation rehearsals? Was it 3 days ago when I just graduated from elementary? Yes, on the 27th of March, all 85 of us graduated from our Alma mater.

It is really dismaying that we are all down to separation. We've been through a lot, from the worst days to the best days. We were all young when we met each other. Still childish. From those happy smiles to silly laughs. After all those times we've spent together, our elementary life has come to an end. Nonetheless, it is not the end for all of us. Instead, it is a new beginning. A new chapter of our lives. We are now ready to face the next challenge that will soon occur. We must prepare for that day where we encounter new tasks.

In my 9 years stay at Mother Goose Special School System Incorporated, I've learned many things... That's a fact! And also, I learned a lot of life lessons.

A) Never give up. When I was a kid, I always tend to quit. I was certainly a quitter. But then, I realized that if I give my best in everything, I will succeed. And I did realize that giving up is the last thing every person should do. Because of those thoughts, I became persistent.

B) Always be happy. I was a cheerful child ever since. I love smiling! I'm a friendly person as well. But as life goes on, I feel as though, I have no reason to smile anymore. I ask myself sullenly, "Why should I even smile? The world is experiencing a global crisis!". On the other hand, I was able to recall all the memories when I was still little. I remembered how glorious every single day was. Since then, I told myself that I'd smile even if the world is at its end. I'll be happy no matter what! UPBEAT FOREVER. :)

C) Have faith in God. People usually have regrets and mistakes. Nobody could stop them from getting those. The fact is, everyone is imperfect. If you are wrong, try to accept that. Despite the fact that you exert effort in correcting that mistake of yours, you are still wrong. The bottom line is, no matter how awful your day is, or no matter how terrible it gets... Have faith in God. He gives you all the strength you need in every routine you do every single day. That's why we are supposed to worship Him and let us all thank Him for all the blessings He has given us.

There are countless people to thank. Teachers, advisers and simply friends who we met in school. I am so grateful to have you in my life. I also thank my parents, not only for giving me a wonderful life, but also for loving me all the time. I'll miss all of my schoolmates and other friends, too. They made me smile whenever they wave at me. And even a simple "hello" could make me smile. Thanks for everything, schoolmates! My teachers have been all great mentors. They honed all of our talents. And I couldn't show enough appreciation for all the things they have done to us. Once again, I express my gratitude to all teachers! For giving us superb education. Especially to our principal, Ms. Julia M. Palaroan for making us all grow into magnificent learners.

Lastly, to my dear batchmates, you don't know how blissful I am to be your classmate, partner-in-crime, laughing machine and most importantly, your full time friend. Don't worry, friends. All the memories are kept and treasured in my heart. I will never forget anything, not even a single minute we've spent! I would certainly miss all of you. Although, I promise that I would always cherish those precious moments. No matter what happens, we will always remain as friends. As we go on, we remember all the times we had together. And as our lives change, come whatever, we will still be friends forever. We were little children before, so naive, so inquisitive and as time goes by, we've undergone adolescence. But now, we have graduated from our beloved school, MGSSSI. And I remind you once again, this is not the end yet... This is just the beginning.

CONGRATULATIONS, BATCH 2008-2009! I love you guys so much! :)

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Hello. To fill up this empty space so as to make this profile look good, you are going to hear me talk about my life. I study in Mother Goose Special School System Inc. and I really love Kitkat&Toblerone&Ferrero Rocher chocolates. I find myself fat but they all tell me I'm skinny. I'm into a lot of genres of music; it's either metal, hiphop or classical. I had this long-time crush on Chuck Bass of this series, Gossip Girl. Apparently, I still adore him and I cannot stop hyperventilating whenever I see his face on anything. I hate narcissists. Yes, I tend to be vain at times, too. But I could control it.. I think.
