Maryknoll.

This place actually never really got into my mind until 2016 because it's where one of my best pals, Luis, studies there. I never personally realized that the place was special even if I never stood there. It just struck to me and made me realize that the place already had a special place in my..mind. Not heart, my heart belongs to Don Bosco College. and            

So why make a blog about it? It never got to me, but the moment I felt that the school got my attention when someone actually knows about me there, other than Luis. Here's something that happened late 2016, where I actually got engaged to the school for the very first time.

Warning: cheesy.

I saw pictures of a concert of some sort, and Luis was tagged in one of them. I took the time to ask him about the event, and that it actually allowed some outsiders. The problem was the ticket price in order to get in, however. Unlike the regular 200 pesos we spend as an average in my current school, they had to spend thrice of the amount just to get in. Well, they're located in Nuvali anyway, so that shouldn't have a question.


He told me about the event and who he was with. He got some close pals over there, which he introduced me a little. I don't have any problems with him introducing their names through chat, except when I saw the face of, uh, one of his friends.

I know, I know, I never wanted to meet new friends from another friend.

He told me the name of the person, and of course, I had to look a little information about the matter. Man, it was weird to have an online crush but I knew it wouldn't have mattered, even if we met. Or did it? I'm not sure. I knew about the name, he was telling me things about the person, e.g. little, shorty, kinda chubby, but I don't take physical traits as something that should even matter.

It wasn't the best choice, knowing that she already is taken (he told me) at the time, and it would be terrible if we even met. Like, anywhere.

He introduced me a couple days later, and I got a reply one day, she got flattered. I knew she would be, and besides, I never even wanted to meet the person. So, swish, swish! I forgot about the girl about three days later.

Fast forward a couple days later!

Me and my cousins were at the pool, the three of them swimming, I was sitting by the bench, drinking my soda, chilling and looking at the stars. There were four Maryknollers sitting on the patio, laughing at..something. I don't know. Luis was there, I asked him what was up. He told me that his sister was there, along with her friends.

Oh no, no need to check, right?

Luis called me up to check. They were laughing, at me...? Oh wait, they were laughing because of me. Why..? Probably how I dressed, but nah, I looked decent. Regina told me, "hi!", and I just waved back. AND THEY WERE GIGGLING LIKE BAKIT ANO BA NANGYAYARI

I just went back to my bench right after and they were all looking at me.. weirdly. Still giggling. OO DI AKO GWAPO BAT NYO BA AKO PINAGTATAWANAN CRUSH NIYO BA AKO

Moments later, I heard that they were actually trying to say I looked cute, and I walked cute. nilahat e bakit ganun?? I just laughed at it, and thought that hey, maybe these guys actually are fun to be called friends. However, that was the last time I appeared to them, so what an ending! HAHAHA!

Skipping to July 2017!

Times were new! 2017 was a so-far terrible year at the time, with everyone ramping up at me for the mess I made that year. Even I wish to cut my head off, by like what, April? It was a terrible year.

Luis messed up around with another picture of his classmates! This time, I saw the picture and asked him stuff. He immediately asked me who do I want to meet, but noooo, I rejected the offer in a jiffy. He told me it'd be okay, he'd do everything to make the person that I saw talk to me, as in thru chat. I know it'd be terrible.

Until he gave me the name! IT WAS THE SAME PERSON LAST YEAR!

Shocking, confused, and above all that, mindblown. She was the same person. Only this time, not flattered, and probably forgotten about what happened before. That's when I also realized that I didn't forget, and I remembered her name.

Alright, Iana, you're up.

She's not the chatterbox type, usually sets herself busy with her own things, but above all that, she's really, really bubbly, her face is reaaaaally cute. But there was a condition between us: we cannot meet, we can only talk to each other, and call sometimes only.

Guess I'll die.

There really isn't much to say about Iana, she's not really the tpye of girl who would talk to you for a long time, but what mattered to me is that she was worth my time, well, before. The only problem I ever had with her is that she usually overthinks things, and she blames me for it. Not your usual crush-type, but she's worth giving your time for.

Besides, she texts really adorable.

Skipping to the time when my name was all over the place!

There was this time just recently when Luis and Iana told me about this guy who looked like me. They said it. And personally, I think their eyes are fooling them pretty hard. Even my classmates got no word for what they saw.

Shoutout to this guy, Lorenzo (they call him Mico), without him, no one would probably hear about me. Hopefully we can talk soon!

How in the world would this guy look like me? RIGHT?

uy pogi HAHAHAHA joke lang panget wtf

They heard of me a couple times there, and who knows, maybe someday, I'll set foot over their place and send my warmest hellos.

Miriam probably has a place already in my heart.

Or should I say, Maryknoll.

Thanks for having me! 😊
