when we were young
I miss being young. Not that I'm old, really, but the YOUNGER days when school seemed like such a vague idea that you don't really take it seriously. When I would play with my cousins all day, and on the last day of vacation we would bring out our new schoolbags and school supplies and show off. When I would bake with Ate Ron and Ate Ri and pretty much do whatever they did and be amazed when Ate Ri waxed her legs ahaha. I definitely had an amazing childhood, well HELLO YOU ARE TALKING TO A POGS CHAMPION. Ahaha. That was fun, and Coca-Cola cards too. We had tamagochi too. Oh and I joined Little Miss Philippines in Eat Bulaga when I was five, and no I did not compete with Aiza AHAHA. Really funny when I remember that, and when friends know about it they would go SO DID YOU WIN? WHAT DID VIC SOTTO OR JOEY DE LEON TELL YOU? YOU DANCED FOR YOUR TALENT PORTION? Darlings, I was merely five years old, and all I remember is that I danced this Muslim dance to one of Prince's songs and Tito, Vic & Joey were having a mighty good time talking about my stubby fingers saying it looks like longanisa. Sweet.
So yeah Kate and I always have mad fun when we remember crazy things we did when we were young, and even those we did with our cousins (and this is the part where they go NO WAY).
1. Ate Ron, remember when you were in senior year highschool and I was a sophomore, you brought your videocam to school because we were going to go SOME PLACE after classes and shoot this guy I had a crush on during his PE class? Arrgh ang pathetic ko AHAHA.
2. I was obsessed with Bobby Andrews before (the guy from TGIS) and you know how it is in high school, all of us were all over the idea of knowing celebrities' phone numbers. So okay this classmate of mine gave me this number, supposedly his number at home. And I called up that number when I got home ahaha.
"Ah, good afternoon, pwede makausap si Bobby?" First name basis. Close kami eh.
"Ah sandali lang po tatawagin ko lang", said this girl.
And I was like WHAAAT BOBBY ANDREWS REALLY LIVES HERE? And I was so scared shitless with the idea that I was actually going to talk to him that I hung up. AHAHA.
3. I think most girls have gone thru the Sweet Valley phase. I got this whole thing from, who else, Ate Ron and Ate Ri. You have to realize they're basically my greatest influence back then because they were like my two ate's, and we were always together. So okay we were practically looking up to Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield (the twins in the book series) and they had this Unicorn Club, so we decided to make our own, The Complete Club (Ate Ron can you remind me again why in the world we named ourselves that way? ahaha). We had meetings yo. We thought we were the coolest then.
4. I have to admit I was an avid fan of the Backstreet Boys and Spice Girls before. So I bought this teenybopper magazine where they had mailing addresses of these boy/girl groups for fans worldwide. And you know what, I wrote them a letter. I think it was Kuya Alex and me. And we dropped it off at the mailbox, totally expecting we would receive letters from them too. Oh the heartbreak when their letters never came! So I decided to call them up using the number I found on the magazine too (I had a thing for phone numbers back then eh?). Mommy was complaining when she got the phone bill because there was this direct dial for long distance numbers. I never admitted it, but I think she knew all along.
5. Ohmygod I was also obsessed with Code Red the boyband! Wait if I remember correctly, I was pining for Phil, Ate Ron was all over Lee, Ate Ri for Roger, and Ate Jean for Neil! GAAAD what were we thinking? I mean when they went to Manila I was down on my knees before my Mom pleading please, go with me to Megamall. So does that mean nothing's changed? I mean I'm still such a friggin' fangirl, I remember Constantine now AHAHA. See like the last time I was so all over some major label international celebrity slash musician was in high school, and now one news that Constantine's here we come running down to Greenbelt. But no I will stick to my resolution NOT to go ga-ga over them. Unless of course Clapton or some major guitar hero comes to town. Once a fangirl, always a fangirl.
6. I've always been very protective of my younger sister and brother. When we were young, Carla and Algi (cousins) were whispering things about Kate to each other. Oh they were petty things, alright, but Kate cried so I was really mad. I drew two coffins on a bond paper, put RIP and their names after and brought it to their house. Their moms were so angry they stormed in on our house and demanded to my grandparents that I be punished. I had weird ways for revenge ahaha.
There are more but I'm sleepy. I just logged in here and see if I'd write anything, oh well. I really miss being young, but I can't say I don't like being all grown up. I guess sometimes you miss those times when things were much simpler and problems weren't so complicated. Even Daddy and Mommy tells us stories when they were in high school, and we go okay so I guess everyone goes thru phases where you just want to make trouble and have fun.
I've old pictures here which make me laugh, it clearly depicts what my childhood was like. I'll probably edit this tomorrow when I can think straight and post the pictures I'm just so friggin' tired now. Been a long day. Ciao comrades.
