Subject: The Classmate

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN GUILTY OF LOOKING AT OTHERS YOUR OWN AGE AND
THINKING,
SURELY I CAN'T LOOK THAT OLD or THAT BAD !!!

WELL . . . YOU'LL LOVE THIS ONE.

MY NAME IS ALICE , AND I WAS SITTING IN THE WAITING ROOM FOR MY FIRST
APPOINTMENT WITH A NEW DENTIST.

I NOTICED HIS DIPLOMA ON THE WALL, WHICH BORE HIS FULL NAME...
SUDDENLY,
I REMEMBERED A TALL, HANDSOME, DARK-HAIRED BOY WITH THE SAME NAME HAD
BEEN
IN MY HIGH SCHOOL CLASS SOME 40-ODD YEARS AGO.

COULD HE BE THE SAME GUY THAT I HAD A SECRET CRUSH ON, WAY BACK THEN?

UPON SEEING HIM, HOWEVER, I QUICKLY DISCARDED ANY SUCH THOUGHT. NAH, HE
CAN'T
BE THE SAME MAN !!

THIS BALDING, GRAY-HAIRED MAN WITH THE DEEPLY LINED FACE WAS WAY TOO
OLD
TO HAVE BEEN MY CLASSMATE.

AFTER HE EXAMINED MY TEETH, I ASKED HIM IF HE HAD ATTENDED MORGAN PARK
HIGH SCHOOL .

'YES. YES, I DID. I'M A MUSTANG,' HE GLEAMED WITH PRIDE.

WHEN DID YOU GRADUATE?' I ASKED.

HE ANSWERED, 'IN 1975. WHY DO YOU ASK?'

'YOU WERE IN MY CLASS!', I EXCLAIMED.

HE LOOKED AT ME CLOSELY..EYE TO EYE...

THEN, THAT UGLY....

OLD,

BALD,

WRINKLED-FACED,

FAT-ASSED,

GRAY-HAIRED,

DECREPIT

SON-OF-A-BITCH

ASKED ME :

'WHAT DID YOU TEACH???

WHAT HAPPENS IN HEAVEN WHEN WE PRAY?

This is one of the nicest e-mails I have seen and is so true:

I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked
side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels. My angel guide stopped

in front of the first section and said, ' This is the Receiving Section. Here,
all petitions to God said in prayer are received.

I looked around in this area, and
it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on
voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world.

Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section.


The angel then said to me, "This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here,
the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and delivered to
the

living persons who asked for them." I noticed again how busy it was there.
There

were many angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings had
been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.

Finally
at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of
a very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated there,
idly doing nothing. "This is the Acknowledgment Section, my angel friend
quietly

admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed." How is it that there is no work going
on here? ' I asked.

"So sad," the angel sighed. "After people receive the blessings that they
asked

for, very few send back acknowledgments"

"How does one acknowledge God's blessings? " I asked..

"Simple," the angel answered. Just say, "Thank you, Lord. "

"What blessings should they acknowledge?" I asked.

"If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead
and

a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of this world. If you have money in
the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among the top 8%
of the world ' s wealthy. "

"And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the world
who has that opportunity..."

"If you woke up this morning with more health than illness .. You are more
blessed than the many who will not even survive
this day. "

"If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of
imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation ... You are
ahead

of 700 million people in the world."

"If you can attend a church without the fear of harassment,
arrest, torture or death you are envied by, and more blessed than, three
billion

people in the world."


"If your parents are still alive and still married ...you are very rare."

"If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you're unique to
all those in doubt and despair........."

Ok, what now? How can I start?

If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that
someone was thinking of you as very special and you are more blessed than over
two billion people in the world who
cannot read at
all.

Have a good day, count your blessings, and if you care to, pass this along to
remind everyone else how blessed we all are

ATTN: Acknowledge Dept.
"Thank you Lord, for giving me the ability to share this message and for
giving me so many wonderful people with whom to share it. "

If you have read this far, and are thankful for all that you have been blessed
with, how can you not send it on ??? ? I thank God for everything, especially
for all my family and friends.




Life is full of mystery......Thank you Lord for everything!!!

31、I saw a woman wearing a sweat shirt with "Guess" on it...so I said "Implants?"
32、Children: You spend the first 2 years of their life teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the

very well."

may sala ako???im not sure... 2 years na eh...

As you all would have realised, 5th post na ni sa blog for the year 2010!! Amazing!! Let's keep it up, malapit na tayong mag 2-digit!! hahahaha..

Anyways, yeah, as fyubee (georgia, or according to bessie, orgie.. :P) was saying, this sparked up with kent's facebook status. It was a bit controversial, that made me post: she???. But yeah, in the end the conversation just dragged on to pung-itan, and all the things that at some point in my life made me laugh!!

I miss those days.. Those days when I used to laugh until i felt like my jaws were paralyzed (seriously, this was always the case, i know friend maan can testify to that). Whether laughing at VJ's la cumbia, or Geb's getting stung by a bee (nature-freak), Krystel's hairfall, Setzel's bee in her uniform, JAMES (says everything about it), KF's and Alfonso's corny jokes, Buddy Laurenz's drawings, Jozelle's tongue tricks, Phillip's weight, Kent's extra nipple, Bryan's colour, Rose' english pro-nun-ci-a-tion, MD's mam joy fuenca, Patty's stand-up comedy, Georgia's iron fist during clean-ups, Jover's Pakistan joke, Je's skelly figure, Jessil & Rommel's panuya, Angeline's spy-mole, Bubi Kat's nang buday, Keifer's 24K, Mary's emo looks, Friend Cha's interesting mom and balon, Friend maan's sister yolly, Marian's spacebar, Alex's weight consciousness, and Teenie's overnight sessions..

Don't you just miss them? Or do you need more??

Post more!! Like what the chinese guy does!! hahaha.. Just an interesting idea: Did you know that the link he posts are of pornsites??

ahh.. I love tau!

QUINN
AC '08 - '10

It's sad na halos wala na tayong contact sa isa't isa. Parang bang may kanya-kanya na tayong mundo ngayon. Eh sila geb nga na nandito rin sa Diliman halos hindi ko na nakikita (in fairness, si geb, tumaba yata.. hihihi:D or baka malabo na talaga mata ko..). Sa sobrang busy at immersed natin sa college life, sa fb na lang tayo nakaka-communicate.

Guys,

sino ivote nyo for the elections??

I want names, and why..

hehe..


Love y'all

QUINN
p.s. I can't vote.. :(

hahaha... as if naman may babasahin pa.

sa totoo lang, wala akong maisip na magandang topic na ilagay sa blog na ito. so maglalagay na lang ako ng links ng blog ng certain person na nagsulat ng article about vandalism in u.p.
read it. it's interesting.
