Regardless of how much I searched my closet looking for any Orange stuff I owned, it’ll end up as a useless and futile effort because I don’t even remember having one.Thanks to my boys who took home this special edition of 3D glasses from our movie get away last night and it saves the day;

The Ciniplex have a special 3D glasses for kids,of course the grown up have to use the as usual,lousy black version. :)

GT#47: Class Picture

Willa — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 16:58:30 +0000

Last installment of the school theme for the month of June and I’m looking forward for kaye’s creativity of what theme she can come up with next month. But without further ado,here is my 4th year class picture in which my son and husband said I’m such an ugly duckling; :duck:

My sophomore and senior years are my most favorite years in high school but all in all, I could say that I have the usual life of a high school student. I’m not a campus figure, (what a surprised! :D ) but I do have a busy life back then. I was a librarian,I was also a part of Track & Field Theme,President of a Science Club and few more clubs that my brain can’t remember anymore.Although I graduated from a public school, but I’m so proud of it,because my school back then was considered as one of the biggest public school in Asia but that was back then,I’m not sure with the latest statistic anymore and lots of the students are champions in Kilometrico Quizzbee show on tv,we beat Mapua High School plenty of times. :yes:

This photo is actually not mine, but a classmate tagged me in Facebook and I’m glad that his copy is still very clear. Click the image for larger view. :)

GT#46: I Hate Math!!!

Willa — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 16:42:10 +0000

Not only that I dislike Math,but I Hated it with a capital H!No,I do not want to sound as if its the worst subject there is, ~~but really, it is!~~. But honestly, I don’t know why I hated this subject,although I only hate one branch of Math and that is Algebra. I have no problem doing Trigonometry,Geometry and a li’l bit of Calculus, it’s the Algebra that really get on my nerves. Maybe because those other math subject that I mentioned have a figure to follow,which makes it so easy to solve because I can see it,I even managed to skipped taking my final exams on those subject because they are easy breezy. Unlike Algebra, I mean, seriously, how am I gonna multiply n to x to y to the 10th power and divide it with m then minus b & c? Come’ on!!! Until now, I have no idea how did I managed to finish and graduate with engineering degree.I don’t know how I passed this stupid subject!Oh yeah, I also hate English, no,not the reading English but the branch of english where you have to study grammar and this adverb,subject and predicate piece of crap.I don’t even know how to use it!

On the lighter note, my eldest is good in Math, and not only good, he excell in Math and I’m very thankful, at least he do not need my help on that! :-D

GT#45:Favorite Subject

Willa — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 15:38:55 +0000

I love the topic today, not that I’m good at every single subject in school,but it remind sme of how fun being the student was, specially high school.I have so many favorite subject in school,but my most favorite that I enjoyed the most are Science. I like Earth Science, (my subject in first year)then Biology,Chemistry,Physics, thankfully, all my teachers on this subjects are all very good. I like it when we have to do experiment and explain everything. I do not like Math,but I will save my story for that next week for the most HATED Subject. I also like history (Philippines and World),it’s the subject that encourage me to travel the world which is until now, I wasn’t able to do, :D .I also enjoyed current events,because I always love giving my opinion for a certain subject or topic.I like English too,but only the reading part not the grammar,as you see, until now,I’m still learning it. :)

How about you?What is your favorite subject to talk about in school? Click the badge and share it with us.:)

GT#44:Teacher’s Pet

Willa — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 18:04:39 +0000

This is Miss De Guzman,however,I’m not sure if she is still “Miss” as I heard that she got married the same year we graduated from high school. She was my 4th year class adviser. She make me to like Physics than I already did because she is a very good teacher.I’m not her “pet”,I think those title are for loser,to compensate for the things that they are not good at, like maybe, if they are academically challenge, they opt to be the teacher’s ~~slave~~ pet instead.

Anyway, she is not only very smart, but also pretty.She have this very pleasant personality that we, her students simply love about her. She never intimidate us at all and she gave us this feeling that we can tell her everything but at the same time,we gave her all the respect she deserved.

It’s been 20 years since I graduated from High School,I regret of not visiting her in school the last time I was in ‘pinas although I’m not sure if she is still there.Maybe she have a Facebook account. :D
