Batang Apo - 'stig.


I was in a nostalgic mode a few days ago and I was particularly strolling down memory lane of my high school years. Just remembering those years is like going though a roller coaster ride. The tears, the drama, the laughter, the joy, haayy..I miss my high school pals. We were and some would argue that we still are the most notorious class in the school's history. Teachers would dread and would think twice before handling our class.

As I-Rosas we made our Values Education teacher cry and made the rest's heads ache. The year we were II - Abokado, the guys changed their name to that of the characters of the anime Ghost Fighter so as to confuse the student teacher. In junior year, we made the school's chemistry lab our homeroom. Who would forget the damages we've made to the sinks, stools and tables of the newly built lab. The lab during lunch hours would look like a gambling place, groups of students clustered all around playing chiki-cha, piat-piat and bakak. We even had our own manghuhula -in the guise of Franco. And on our senior year, we made our adviser really mad,she threw pots of flowers out of our second floor room. That was Maam Dugs' moment ;-)

We Batang Apos were certainly a rebellious lot yet achievers in our own way. Even on our first year, we defied tradition when some of us joined the school's scouting unit. That is, usual norm was if you're a student of the science class,scouting is a no-no since as they say we couldnt handle our academics with extra curricular activities. But boy, did we prove them wrong when 2 of the boys were chosen as one of the top 10 outstading boyscouts of the philippines. We further made our point when most of the class joined Tanghalang Aguinaldo-DRAHS' theatre club and most of the main casts were once again from our class. During junior high, 3 of the girls joined the scouting unit as rover scouts, and they were also the school's first. Of course, the class valedictiorian and salutatorian was from the class. We also has the prettiest girls, the smartest students (which is expected of course), the most talented - we could probably form a band if we wanted and organize a concert. Hehehe. Such conceit. Even the shy and silent ones in the contribute to the class' reputation. Definitely the undisputed worst yet best class in DRAHS' history.
Haaay, makamingaw gyud high school. Ug makamingaw ang mga Batang Apo.
