I Have a K.I.T.* of Good Friends

Year 2006 ended a chapter of our lives and started a new one. We're no longer kids. We're done with our elementary days and we're on with our high school life.

Now, six years have gone by and it's 2012. We're already college students. Time flew so fast that we didn't even get a chance to have a get together back when we were in high school. And the reunion we've been planning for so long has finally come true... with plenty of surprises.

Who knew that we even have to prepare a dance? It was kind of hard but the important thing is that we enjoyed the moment... together with the celebration of Kyle's 18th birthday. :))

It was only in this time that we were able to have pictures again after a long time. A lot of stories were reminisced and a lot of stories have been told; there's even a continuation. Seeing one another showed us that we grew up a lot from the small people who used to tease one another, smash some classmates, run around the classroom, make a lot of noise while the teacher's not around and a lot more. We are now pursuing a degree in which in the near future, we can consider ourselves professionals. :D

That's the thing with elementary peers. You may not have constant communication at first, but in the end, you will still know them. At one point, time will come that you will see each other again and you will know how much others have grown. "Dati, ganito 'yan. Ngayon, ito na sya." You will see how much others have improved. And I feel very proud of all of them. :))

It's just kind of sad that not all was able to come. It might have been a lot more fun.

Nevertheless, the company of each other is still comforting. Now's the part where we will continuously Keep In Touch. :))

That AWKWARD Moment...

Some scenes and languages are not suitable

for very young audiences.

Parental guidance is advised.

I didn't expect the pilot episode to open like that. They are still in high school. That's not normal here in the Philippines. I'm not saying that it's really a normal scenario for them, what I mean is, after all, they are in and from a liberal country, and we are in and from a conservative one.

I like the weird sense of humor though, and sometimes the exaggeration. Of course, the annoying line of Sadie, "You're welcome."

Jenna's parents are very supportive , most especially her dad. But, there was this awkward moment at the season finale where she might have discovered who wrote and sent her the letter that either helped or ruined her life, something to look forward to in season two.

Nevertheless, I will always be part of Team Jake. Boys will be boys, and girls will be girls. But in a relationship,  it is always important to define it or else, you will have no direction, and the quality for a relationship guy is found in... none other than JAKE!!!

In the show, there are two guys who portray different personalities of men. Jake: a smart, outgoing class president; a sensitive guy with a heart of gold.* The other is Matty: popular, athletic, handsome, insecure.* Among the two, I can relate more with Jake and I will always admire his being gentleman. As for Matty, I will never like the way how he treats Jenna. And of course, Jenna, Jenna, Jenna, That Girl Daily? From Invisible Girl Daily? Really? Whatever! I hate you for pushing yourself too hard onto someone who's not the type to totally make you happy. In my opinion, you deserve Jake.

But never underestimate the power of the production team! It is them who decides how to run the story. We might not know, in the end, maybe, Jenna and Matty will be together. I hate the thought. There's still the possibility that she will go with Jake. We'll never know. Let's just keep on watching and see what will happen. :P

The Dark Night No Longer Exists

Now that I am a college student, there are so many days that I come home late, may it be due to night classes, school projects, or work. Majority of it, I walk instead of ride a tricycle.

Most nights, midnights, or mornings (like 1 am) are terrifying because of the dogs I encounter along the way, but I manage. But, there was this certain night that I got nervous for as I was about to enter a dark shortcut, near our house already, a man who was sitting in front of a closed store stood up and I saw him walk towards my direction. As I move forward, I heard footsteps, just few paces behind me. Even as I got out of the shortcut, you may say I'm paranoid, I thought that he was following me. I tried to stay calm, but my heart beat fast and I made my steps far apart with increasing speed. When I entered our gate, that's when I moved really fast to get inside the house. This is still a time when we had no street lights.

Some details are forgotten as they slowly slip from my mind as time pass by, like "when this was exactly?" Or "what did I do and think as I entered our street?" "Was he still following me?" "Did he pass our house as  if he was going the same way?" But I am sure that this was a night when I got home from work.

After a reported stealing some days ago, a light post (without a light from ages ago) was given light (finally!). It's just right beside our house. So, the dark night no longer exists. But I believe that if I come to decide to walk again instead of take a ride, some parts of the road will still be lurking in darkness.

The light post only took half of my worry...
