The Tiny One

Sir Ralph Cecilio We know him as the ogre who threatened our everyday English literature life. I had first seen this person when I was 6 years old, a pre-schooler at Corpus Christi School. I was with my playmates one morning and decided to go up the high school classrooms. I could still remember which classroom I saw that American looking teacher on the third floor. I could only see half of his body in front of the black board. The next time I saw this teacher was when I was in 4th grade. We were staying at the high school canteen waiting for our music class to start. We were happily staring at the floor out of boredom and doing nothing on a hot afternoon when a hug man went by and stopped in front of us and said, "you all look so quiet" and walked away. Those were his exact words and we all laughed. When I was able to reach high school in the same institution where I started studying, I was to recognized the same teacher who approached my fri...

There are those days in high school where you wake up one morning and realize, 'hey, wasn't I suppose to be studying last night?'. There were some days in high school when you found yourself staring at the teacher without thinking about what he was trying to teach you but what the world was about to offer you when the class is over. There are times when you'd think, "hmm, asa kha mi mag eat after class?" or those instances when your friends would invite you for tempura outside school and hog every spot to clumsily gobble down every savory inch of the sweet sauce that manong has been selling for a decade and that no vendor can compare to.

Today's July's birthday. I already sent him a text message early this morning. He said thanks and i love you. He also sent a follow-up message asking me to go to mass the coming tuesday 'cause my bestfriend had something for me, maybe a letter. I talked to my all-time crush FVSJ last friday. And we won the annual cheering competition at our high school. We had a gradeschool barkada reunion after the competition. It wasn't that lavish, we jst ate at a local food chain at one of the local malls. We had fun and I thought it was awsome. There was a downside to our whole reunion though, Bling's phone got stolen, by girl who stood beside her in line to order. I bought a Harry Potter book today, volume 6 And I'm really crushing on my bestfriend's crush. We became kinda close though. Oh and I went shopping, some shirts and a pair of jeans. -such a innocent Junior High School student.;p
