Because Grade School Sucked, I Went Back and Realized it Wasn’t That Bad.

A lot of things happened today, and I must say that minus the hectic schoolwork, things turned out really good today. I got to hang out with my block and w|s, enjoyed their company. But what really made my day was my visit to my grade school alma mater. It’s been six years since I stepped foot into the Ateneo Grade School grounds and I must say, everything’s different now. I bumped into my favorite gradeschool teacher, Mrs. Geraldez (god she still looks SOOOOO young) and catched up a bit on how life has changed after grade school. I must say, grade school was the worst part of my years of studying but she err…made me rethink about gradeschool life, calling me her ‘class genius’ and she remembers everything - my name, my section, the year I graduated, everything. No matter how grade school sucked, at least some people were there who believed in what my capacities and talents were, yet certain fucktards destroyed it. Arrogant people with crab mentality all over.
To make the long story short, grade school sucked, except Ms. Veloso and Mrs. Geraldez and a few friends whom I can name right now. Paul Jimenez (god bless his soul), Jose Antonio Javier, CJ De Guzman, Martin Regala, Cris Alcaraz, John Chua, Nikkos Santiago, Ryan Alvarez, Jonjon Papa, Jandrew Serafica HAHAHA Hi Ja, Kris Ochinang, Jaco Pusta (kahit na may grudge pa rin siya sakin ngayon for a ‘mababaw’ reason), Mario Garcia, Ron Erfe (na hindi na ako pinapansin sa school parang hindi ako kilala), Raf Ochoa and Ivan Sarmiento my busmates, and some other people whose names I forgot or I just can’t really remember na.
Okay, so grade school didn’t suck that much. But I enjoyed HS and College waaaaay better.
My heart’s still with Claret. And Loyola Schools. Erase everything - but never erase the good thoughts of these good teachers and few friends. I’m a better man now. Because I realized that to lead a happy life is to ignore everyone who despises and criticizes your every move. Tama na pasenti, enjoy the pictures.
