I know.
I haven’t written in a while and many things have been bothering me since late February. But before all the laughter and drama, I want to greet you all a HAPPY, HAPPY EASTER! Let’s thank Jesus for this day as it is because of His resurrection that we are alive.

After months of scrutinizing Shakespeare, analyzing physics and equating equations, March
marks the start of the countdown to bidding ‘sayonara high school!’. All the sleepless nights are forgotten along with the tiresome completion of requirements as every high school senior look forward to receiving their diplomas. Much as I do prefer reading novels compared to all-night hardcore partying, I can’t deny that I also anticipate free days when I can just rest and do nothing at all. I’m trying not to be nostalgic or anything but really, the idea of me graduating from high school already seems to be a bit too soon. I really had a hell of a great time in high school through all the ups and downs and experiences. Maybe I am sad because of the goodbyes I’m about to give and receive. I’ve formed different bonds with people and the thought of having to part with them even temporarily is really bringing my spirits down. I’m really going to miss a lot of people especially YOU GUYS OF BONIFACIO, SILANG, DE JESUS and QUEZON.
When things end, something is sure to start. College life is just around the corner but I am still standing in front of two fork roads. The institution I am to take my college education portrays a big role in my future career and I want to be certain for money is a big issue related to college education. As of this moment, I have less than one week to decide between Ateneo de Manila University and the University of the Philippines - Diliman. I have no academic problems with Ateneo because I find their BS Health Science competitive enough to get me into a good medical school after 4 years. On the other hand, I am unsure of studying in UP due to the fact that the degree program they have accepted me in is called AB Linguistics. Though I am überly interested in language scholarship, I am inclined towards the medical profession specifically pediatrics.
Linguistics.
Medicine.
See the connection?
No? Yeah, thought so too.
Well, I pray to God that He will always guide me in every decision I am to make.

Pressing the ‘Rewind’ button, I want to share some happenings these past weeks before I finally let the curtains of high school fall. Might I forget all the details in the far future, I am at ease that
I’ll always remember the highlights by writing them down.
Final examinations made its way into our lives. Seniors like me scratched our pens on test sheets one last time in high school before facing the new challenges of college life. Contrary to popular belief, the final exams are not-so-breezy. In my case, my nose bled (figuratively, of course) while taking the Drafting exams specifically the part of predicting feasible orthographic sketches and my brain did a back flip the moment I laid my eyes on the Physics test due to my naïveté (actually, it is due to my absence in class) regarding the principles of calculating the mechanical advantages of simple machines. In anyway, those mind boggles are stuffs of the past. With only the toga and diploma needed to complete the picture, the seniors of my batch including I, feel that the graduation season is fast approaching.
But before we don those gala ensembles, the Sapientia et Virtus staff needs to fulfill their last duty for school year 2007 – 2008 which is to publish the yearly SEV magazine. At this point, I admit that I am really nostalgic. I’ve been a part of this organization throughout my stay in high school and I’ll really miss all the moments I’ve shared with my co-staff especially the teachings I’ve learned from the two great advisers of this org – Teacher Rodel and THE Goddess. I can’t imagine school without this organization chiefly because sev/ap is my first family in high school and I have made most of my tight bonds within this org. Every issue we release means so much to me for we poured our hearts and efforts to it. Not to forget the fun trips we had to the different press conferences and seminars. Nothing can really make me forget all those experiences I had with the staff.
Aside from fulfilling my duties as a sev/ap staff, I am also in the quest of raising my voice with the other coro san antonio members as we are preparing for our last performances – Baccalaureate mass and the Seniors’ Graduation. But before that, coro san antonio actually got its biggest break since its organization. The Philippine Normal University Chorale invited us, along with 8 other chorales, to join them in the first Voices Concert held at the PhilAm Life Theater last March 7, 2008. Great experience – these words certainly describe the memory I had that night with all other great choirs! The training days were really exhausting but worth the efforts. You guys can watch our performance on YouTube.com by typing coro san Antonio on the search box. You’ve got to watch it!
Not to forget, cheers to the SSA Seagulls Pep Squad for a back-to-back Championship title in the National Cheering Competition. All your hard work has paid off! Woohoo!
Surely, time really flies fast when you are having fun. One day you’re just on your first day as a Freshman and the next day you find yourself practicing for the Senior year graduation. Even so, we can’t help the reality that we all have to leave but in one way or another, we do return. And that is the purpose of memories. We may be gone, but we can always go back.
Off to college!
Sweetness,
Allyne
P.S. I forgot to greet one of my besties, Kristine, a happy birthday last March 8 along side the celebration of Women’s Day.
