"Anong balak natin this Valentine's day?" tanong ng isa mga kaklase ko, si Sam.

I'm a Senior Highschool, Grade 11 and the strand I took was ABM. Way back 10 years ago ko, I studied on a international school, pero dahil gusto ko ngang maging practical din, lumipat ako ngayong Grade 11 sa Private School na hindi ganun kamahal 'yong tuition. Plus malapit-lapit lang kasi 'tong bago kong school sa bahay namin. Maayos naman ang buhay ko dito, nakakaya ko naman. Noong nangangapa pa ko sa paraan ng pagtuturo nila, iba kasi 'yong sa dating school. Sa ilang buwan lang din nakapag-adjust naman ako, para sa improvement na rin ng skills ko at mas paglawak pa ng knowledge ko. Second sem na kami ngayon and Finals na. Kakatapos lang namin mag exam last last week ng pang mid-term. Within' this week or next Tuesday kuhanan na ng Report Card namin.

So ayun na nga haha, nandito kasi kami ngayon sa jeep naghihintay na mapuno. We are talking about going out for a date on valentines day.

"Akala ko ba sa Skyy Blue Cafè tayo mukhang masarap dun, try natin." ani Tasya.

Si Sam at Xandra transferee din, magkaiba kami ng pinangalingan, hanggang ngayon di ko alam kung saang school sila galing. Nakikisama lang kami sa kanila, matagal na silang may circle of friends. Even if we only bon for a short span of time they always made us feel that we belong to them, which I think is very sweet.

"Oo nga doon na lang tayo." si Sam

"Hoy agree! May kamahalan lang don haha." si Xandra. 

Yanna, who has been one of my closest friends since elementary school, is seated next to me. Maiyeeh and Hyacinth, two of our other buddies, are both students at Sagrada Familia Montessori. The four of us should have been there, but Yanna and I missed the enrollment deadline since the slots for the strand we want are already taken. Every school we try to enter has a full enrolment rate; the only school that has openings is the one we are already going. After graduating from SHS, we promised to at least continue our studies at the same university, but I think it's also just fine if we go our separate ways. Since we are all maturing as individuals, I must admit that our friendships are growing stronger. I once read in a book that friendship has a purpose and would soon come to an end after that purpose has been fulfilled. We all believe that our friendship serves no particular purpose, which makes us even more inclined to stick together and encourage one another. I guess I'm quite fortunate in terms of friendship.

Every weekend they come home San Ildefonso, but we don't hang out every weekend, since most of the time we're too busy.

Actually, I have so many choices when it comes in choosing the school that I desire. Money have never been a problem for me, the only problem it gave to me is how will I spend it. I was born with a 24k golden spoon in my mouth, so options have always been not a problem to me. But since I wanna be consistent, I'll just finish what I started here.

"Osige, gora ko diyan mag ipon na tayo bukas, bawasan na pag lamon please, gusto niyo ng gala ayaw niyo naman bawasan pag lamon." sabi ni Sam samin sabay irap.

"Oo nga, matuto na tayong mga tipid jusko." pagsang-ayon naman ni Tasya.

"Kaya naman natin yun, edi pag di kinaya ng budget, kay Xandra kumapet hahahaha!" dagdag ni Tasya.
