GOOD TIMES + CRAZY FRIENDS = AMAZING MEMORIES
‘Sup Paulinians, how's quarantine? 😁 Ag-eshare ak man mt ti napalabas, nagmayat nga basbasaen gayam 😅. Ket dayty garod English ah ta I'm not prone to Ilokano but I'll try hehe.
They’ve said that, "Good times become good memories, bad times become good lessons” and definitely after staying for 4 years at SPASI, as one of the school’s former director have said, "BEST SCHOOL IN SAYANGAN".😄 The most exciting and thrilling experiences happened to me was when I entered and studied at SPASI, starting as a Grade 7 student. At first, I was excited of who would be my classmates, my friends and my teachers as well knowing that some of them were strict. That moment I felt excited and nervous at the same time. I was excited of the section I would be in and gladly, what a coincidence, one of my cousins was my classmate before. We’re always together dahil nga di namin kilala ang mga kaklase naming. May hiyaan pa tapos di pa kami nakakaintindi ng Kankana-ey noon kaya sya lagi kasama ko sharing jokes, laughing and we were so sweet that time. I remembered during our dismissal time, we were at the gate when my shoe lace had been untied and he knelt down to tie it. Mapapa-sabi ka talaga ng “Sana all,” haha ‘cause it’s like we’re a cute couple. I can't forget that one time someone asked us if ag gayem kami kano kt nagkatinginan kami ni pinsan at humagalpak nalang kami sa tawa knowing that we’re just cousins and crush nya pala yung nagtanong nag-re-red et sunan 😂. I've been scolded just because I forged the signature of our teacher (In-trace ko gamin) hahaha, nag re-red-ak that time ta day terror py mt kt examination mi hahaha.
Fastforward.
So idi grade 8 kamin nare-shuffle kami although ada mt daduma classmate ko di grade 7 kt day insan ko, sabalin section na. In here, we built a friendship and had a group kt nagmayat gayam jay rikna nga ada barkadam nga you will feel that you’re not alone. They are just beside you. One time we were enjoying playing volleyball at the upper ground, we haven’t got a hold of time until we realized na apay nga awan t agngalawngaw ket ni time en gayam so we were late and we had to get an admission slip kt tiltila en t reasons. Ada na L. B. M 😅 kaskada kinumkumporme dtan. Haha hays. On time, unexpectedly my seatmate kt nakainom nga simrek kt baybayak lang ah ta I'm writing and calm ak lang but he was always staring at me. Macon-conscious ak ta baka ngay ada rugit t rupak and I felt scared too. I’m not comfortable if someone stares me like that ngem ignore ko lang ah. But I was shocked d inala ballpen ko kt ka petpet day imak. Ipasangsango na syak kaniana kt mabutengak sunga “Ma'am may I transfer seat,” napanak ejay sango kt I'm pi**ed off ta sinurot na syak manen. Kumikita nga hanko amo balak na. I can't do anything because my classmates were focused on writing and I just hoped na ag time kuman and thank God nag bell en then after that subject pinatawag kami sa faculty ta napansin gayam ni ma'am kt dinamag dak. Inbagak mt ah and I'm thankful he was no longer my seatmate. Nakayasyasak et sidi ah😇.
When it comes to love life, someone courted me. Agbabarkada da pay but I don't know if I'll say yes or no because I wasn’t interested ta focus tau t study tau ya sabali mindset tau but my cousin said yes rineplyan na gaym 🤣 kt dyay haha ag dodorm sunga no agtxt agsabat kmi Upper market kt apanak mt nya ngay ngarod ta wen kunak piman. 😂 Mayat mt piman sunga d Valentine’s Day ada gift na kniak ag, 3 months kmi kuma ngem insensitive ak kala nga I just played him haha dyay mtlng nangyari day pang 2nd ko. Awan lang, hankami py inmabot t 2 weeks (puppy love). Until such naging grade 9 ak, I realized and enjoyed that high school life is the most exciting and interesting one. Ada ag ararem kniak umitulod gana kampo, agsabay kami maminsan ag recess. Nabayag piman nga kasjay kt idi torch parade mi, balak ko saguten ngem I've been dismayed. I don't know why kt dyay sumorsorsorot kniak kt panpanawak lang, baybayak lang ah. Engana d agawid kmi, inmitorod kt nbagak nga sorry ta hanga umasasa kt luhh agsangit (puppy love). Tas d ka grade 9 ko naadal ko ag-inom. At first beer kt mayat mt gaym. Nag upgrade naging 2x2 limit limit lang until such ginekgek en until every day after class, we used to do it. Idi awanen pagatang insukat dan jy binbinten ta ada lang maigatang. D grade 10 I also had an experience visiting the POD together with my beloved cousins. Ve've reasoned out that our grandfather died but it's a bluff. They interviewed us regarding time, date ngem han kami agtutugma. Ngem we thought of saying the truth ta makonkonsensya kmi. Humble kami gamin ehh haha ngem “Call-Parent” is waving isunga. Sunga dakau nga nabati dta kt han u dakmi tultuladen nga naseweng edi nga mamanang u kn mamanong you.
But those good memories and bad memories at SPASI made us realize that everything happens for a reason in which bad memories lead us to lessons that we shouldn't do it again and commit those mistakes again. These memories helped us to open our eyes to the reality itself. These memories at SPASI helped us to be strong to face another level of our life- college, careers and the future. At SPASI, there are lots of activities that will enhance your skills on leadership, talents and boost your confidence and so forth. And I know it from myself that this school molded me of who I am and what I am. Without these memories and experiences I had, I wouldn't know that life is unpredictable and immeasurable and I'm so much happy to be an alumni of this school.
"SPASI"
"BEST SCHOOL IN SAYANGAN" My beloved school and best high school life ever. And I just want to say whoever reads this, you’re on the go to cherish every memories out there and make the most of it. Because crowded places is much different. You would say, you wanted to be a high school student again, doing silly things, missing every moment that you used to do. I know some of my colleagues feel this way too but reality speaks the way itself in which college life is life battling with careers, and finding your future is challenging and is tough.
GOD BLESS US ALL PAULINIANS
