A Close Look To Rizal High School 5

5th Part

3rd Year- Buhay Junior

It was just yesterday ng huli kong mabisita si Rizal. Mga tatlong buwan na rin ang nakaraan. Saglit lang iyon kung tutuusin pero mahirap ng lumimot. Kailangan matapos na talaga ito. Read it and weep! (Just kidding!)

Third year, for some, is the happiest part of high school. For me and my friends, this is definitely true. Junior life is the best! Lahat ng masasayang bagay that you never ever thought na mangyayari, sa buhay junior magaganap.

Sonnet 18

“Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;
And every fair from fair some time declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimm’d;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wand’rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grows’t:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.”

by William Shakespeare

The fair youth being addressed in this sonnet ay parang third year life. If ever pagbibigyan akong muli, nais kong bumalik ang nakaraan and be that junior student once again na halos ayaw nang umuwi sa bahay just to spend a whole day with his friends. Masayang alaala ang napapaloob sa nakaraan na ito. Kahit gaano kahirap ang mga projects sa school o kahit anong problema ang aming harapin, nagagawa pa rin naming magkatuwaan, all of us. Everything seemed so perfect. No, everything for sure was perfect back then…

Zoomed Out: Life in a Wider Perspective

Posted in College Life on Hunyo 14, 2008 by westwind

I think I’m starting to like College Life…
It may not be like before…
But I think I’m getting used to it…

However, sometimes…
I get to thinking…
Do they still think of me?
Or is it just me who’s thinking of them?

Nah…
I guess it’s better to just forget about it…
I have more important things to focus on…

I’m fine…
A bit finer than before…
I guess…

Why?

Because from now on…

Things go a bit more easier…
Kind of…

More Mathematics… (College Algebra, Trigonometry, Electronics)
More English-oriented subjects… (Study and Thinking Skills)
More Science… (General Chemistry)
More Fun… (Physical Education and Engineering Drawing)

I also met new friends…
And befriended old ones…
I have more money to spend…
I can eat more delicious foods…
And one more thing…
There are a lot more cuter girls in our campus…

A lot of good stuffs I guess…

Surely, things go my way from now on…

However…
Some things never change…
Things we’re all familiar with…
Problems…

—If the majority of the fifth year students of BSECE studying in our university wouldn’t pass the upcoming board exam for the third time, the BSECE course will be abolished from our university…
And that will affect my studies a lot…

—Boredom still haunts me sometimes… (Pasig Community Life)

—And even until now, I’m still missing them… Each and every one of them…

Life is truly vast…
I have seen nothing yet…

Life is truly wide…
Wide enough for me to explore…

It’s easy to lose yourself…
Better tighten my grip and keep holding on…
