ONE OF OUR SPECIAL PLACES

In this building we laughed, we cried, we gossiped, we teased, we danced, we cheated, we jumped out of windows (to escape Miss Cabalfin), we passed secret notes to each other, we trembled before and during exams. We listened to Samson read from his yellowed notebook (lectures he had given to our older brothers and sisters too). We marveled at Mrs. Defensor's dropping of the final T ("Wha do you wa?") The boys couldn't wait for Dea Doromal to come, in her short skirt....and we followed Ms. Jamerlan's daily ewul ewol with our heads and our eyes. We listened to Ricardo Chu sing Bayang Magiling with a Chinese accent, and fought the Susan versus Amalia wars with Edwin Menguito and Reynaldo Jimenez in the lead.
