2 years ago, I was a stranger in a school I transfer to called Sampaguita High School in Camarin Caloocan. The school was a bit big but obcourse my old school is bigger. I was one day late when I started class. I was send to a section called lll-Narra. When I entered the room, I looked around and I didn't see a single face I know or recognize (obcourse I wasn't from this place). People's faces looks so serious, I said to myself "OMG! Students here looks so smart, maybe I entered a wrong classroom" When I was about to get out, I felt eyes looking at me so I just took a seat. Time passed so fast, the next thing a knew it was the middle of the school year. I've met lots of people, different people. I met some individually and some by groups. I first got into a group called anti-haters (they are the people at the back), then I got into another group called troops (their the people at the front) and I did also met people at the middle part some belongs to different groups, some has their own little group, some doesn't belong to a group and some just goes with the flow, I called them neutrals.
I also meet this group called autistic. In that group belong people who are very special in their own special way. Well, they all have a bubbly personality, all positive thinkers and very artistic. And in that group I noticed this girl her name is Hanna, Hanna grace de Leon to be exact. Something about her made me so interested to know her. She's so quiet in her seat just looking so calm. If you don't know her better you will never know her mood or what is she thinking. She has this neutral energy surrounding her with her so innocent face like an angel. But I didn't talk to her that much,well, I do sometimes but just to tease her to "open her eyes" or "don't walk while sleeping". Because she has this cute lil eyes that always look like closed but even if I tease her a lot about her eyes honestly I really like it. So, yeah! I never really talk to her as in talk not until Nov. 22 I think. It was an activity outside school; we were going to watch a theatre play. We were in the bus and my seat was technically next to hers (well, actually I was sitting in one of those extra chairs in the middle coz we run out of seats). It was the first time I saw her alone and not with her group. I asked why and she answered "I'm just practising coz it's not going to be forever that they'll be with me all the time, soon enough were all gonna go in separate way specially that college is just around the corner" she did have a point but I didn't know why, I felt like I should be with her at that moment, so I did. I was with her the whole activity we even had lunch together, we had Jollibee and zagu for drinks I have a large black forest and she had a large mango (I still have the recite of that until now). From that day I've spent a lot of time with her (I think).I have got a chance to know her and I was right she is an angel. She so kind, friendly, talented surprisingly funny, she's just amazing. She is so different from the girl I see inside the classroom She introduced me to her family and in her church friends that made a big difference in my life. They helped me get through a problem I was facing at the same time keeping it to myself. They also trusted me to choreograph their dance one time. They'd become another family to me. She has become one special friend to me. Time passed by again a lot of things happened the next thing I know it was our senior year, our last year to be together and to be high school students. Lessons and school works have become tough but we did our best at the same time we had fun. There was this one time I remember, MAPEH class (PE) we were doing our BMI and when we were checking our weights, then we were shocked actually I was more shock than her. She's lighter than me!!! Hahaha !!! I don't wanna sound very proud of myself but I do look more lighter. But the truth knock's me down bad! Since that day I always call her "air fatty"(tabang hangin) and we just laugh and laugh. So many memories happened in our last two years in high school, happy, sad, stupid, crazy and unforgettable memories. I've learn lessons in life from those moments and known people that become my friends. Finally we graduated, went our separate ways like what Hanna said. But even if that was true I didn't let go of her that soon I still come to her home time to time just to disturb her with my presence and also to remind her to always keep her eyes open. But it ended after a year when I flew off to another country.
You're probably wondering why I wrote and shared this story. It is because Today is November 3, 2012. I woke up this morning feeling great and I wonder why? Then I remembered today is a special day not for me but for my special friend. Today I thank God and her parents for giving birth to her and for giving me chance to know her and to be her friend. Hanna Grace De Leon, happy 18th birth day J I wish you all the best in life and all the blessings from God. I didn't have a chance to tell you this before but I want you to know that I'm very grateful to met you and to be your friend and spend a lot of time together. Thank you for everything, especially for every second you have been there for me. You are a very beautiful, strong, intelligent and wonderful person and want the world to know that. That's the reason I wrote this. Happy birth day hotceyk , I miss you so much and I love you :* . And one more thing your right about all the "they won't be with you all the time" thing, but you should always remember this "you will always be in our hearts forever".
