A Little Flashback

I was looking for a material for the blog project when I saw my English II notebook. I saw this entry and decided to add it to my entries. This was entitled “Predictions”. Let's find out if my predictions really came true.
Last Saturday, April 2, almost half of the Benton Class batch 2004-2005 went to the Family Park to have fun and to celebrate the last outing of our section. Everyone enjoyed that day. As I was taking pictures of my classmates, I felt sadness in me. I will surely miss them because this was the last day we could get together as Benton. Unfortunately,I had to be home by 2:30 in the afternoon because my mother needed help in preparing the church for the next day. (After one day...) Now I'm on my study table and h'm about to write my predictions about our batch for the next school year. I'll start with Jann. I think she would be a good leader because she has the talent and the attitude. In my prediction she will be the active president of the UPSTAGE. For Hazel, she will have many offers because of her many talent in playing the guitar. Maybe she will have a band and they will be playing on stage especially on athletes night. Ralph will study more next school year. He has to improve his study habits. Christille will continue her sining career but will have to do something new. She is going to learn Hangul or the Korean language. It really inspires her. Lyndel and Daphne will become closer because they share a lot in common. Olga is going to be with her former classmates. Nico is going to be with Danesa in the same section. John Paul will be louder than ever. Chairman will make the school proud because of his amazing achievements in Math. Lorenz will not have to visit the other section because he will see Yolike everyday. Juna Rose is going to bloom and become a beautiful lady. And as for me I will be me. I hope my predictions will happen. But one thing is sure to happen...Benton will still play the prestigious Patintero at the volleyball court of UP high. These things are about to happen next year. I can't wait. And after two long and rough years, I am to comment on my work. Actually, Jaja and I are very hungry right now so I would like to say sorry for the typographical errors you surely will encounter. Back to “busyness”...Most of my predictions came true. Jann indeed became the president of the UPSTAGE when we were juniors. Hazel now has a very hectic schedule because her talent in playing the guitar is badly needed. I don't really know about Ralph's study habits but I see his improvements. I saw how responsible he is if you just make him feel that a certain task is yet only for him. It was evident in the Dramafest when he was my co-director for music. Look at Christille “The Singing Egg” Gultiano now. Isn't she amazing? She still sings for any school event that needs singing. She won first place in the solo singing during our Intramurals for the year 2007. She still became inclined to the “Korean Talks”. Lyndel and Daphne became a new team. They included Mae Ann and others. Nico's crush wasn't Danesa anymore so my prediction about him didn't work out well. JP never became quiet. During our successful retreat, Madam Maglasang scolded him for being extra noisy. Lorenz and Yolike were not classmates in our third year .It is only now when they got together again. But even if they were separated for a year,their feelings for each other strengthen. Juna, as always, becomes beautiful every time I see her. We still play the Patintero but when we became the busy seniors we are right now, we didn't have the luxury ot time to play Patitero. But we will always remember the days where we were the people in authority of the volleyball court. Isn't it so good to recall the wonderful and intricate past?

Yes, it does feel good to reminisce. How I wish we could turn back time. Benton was so cool.
