Leaving highschool was exciting, sad, and a little worrisome,
but then the thought of making new friends made everything more bearable. And I made some wonderful friends.. Annie,
Irma, Bobot, Jo, Offie, Mayen, Rocky, Gyda just to name a few. In 2003, I was able to get in touch with 4 of them, and
I am still hopeful that we'll find Offie, Jo, Gyda and Mayen.

Being away from home and highschool became a
little easier after I met these "girls" !!!
| The"Flats & Shaprs" Choral group |

After weeks of practice, we competed and
did our rendition of "Bakyang bakya" & "Moonlight Serenade". We did not win but I remember us being the best dressed
with our olive green satin, spaghetti strap dress !!! Guess who designed and chose the color...

| on our way to a disco with Marie, Abeth, Offie & Jimmy |
Navarra St. with Marie, Abeth , Jimmy and
a whole bunch of us, "kids"from Naic. It was fun. We would all go home together on weekends, sometimes all of us
packed on Doc. Balagtas's white volkswagen beetle... then one by one, we left for another boarding house.
Marie and I stayed together till graduation. Even after we made other friends, we managed to make time to do things together;
movies, cooking, shopping. I remember when she first told me about this guy from Laguna ; I've never seen her
that happy and I knew that they would be a couple.. They got married a couple of years after that; reception by the beach...I
miss that woman. She's a busy mom and hard to get a hold off...
That corner where the phone was ,had always
been the busiest spot in the house. Just imagine one phone with all of us "young kids", all expecting and
wanting to make a call. We had to pay for every call so we kept a tally sheet whenever we had to use the phone .
I wonder who got to pay the most ???
If only there was a cell phone then; but the waiting
and the anticipation was half the fun.
