For some folks, it was their high school days that were the most memorable moments in their lives. Of course I realize that some would say it was when they were in college. Oh well, whatever. But for me, it was definitely in high school at Agusan del Sur College (ADSCO), my alma mater that I enjoyed the most. I was carefree and did not really think so much about life, religion and all that stuff. I just wanted to have fun haha! It’s maybe because I was in my own hometown where I had lots of friends and the place was very familiar to me. In college, away from home and living in a very big city of Manila, I felt lost, alone and only had a few real friends.

Every morning, I’m reminded of my high school alma mater as I drink my hot chocolate in my favorite mug. It was given to me by the school’s president. I was also given a wrist watch. Isn’t that great?
