Day Dreamin Fifty Niner ... It was quarter to seven a.m., the second Monday, June 1957. The Pacific monsoon had just stopped, so I walked trampling on fallen katuray leaves and blooms with my new rubber-heeled wooden shoes. I followed HJ, LL and PM and virgin oil, akin to lilac in air trailed the beauties of Bari in red umbrella. I reached the school gate and hastily accounted classmates of the past year, and they are back, pinkish lips and rosier cheeks. Cant help but winked at Norma B, Teresita R and Norma D. Imagine, a dozen more chicken coops to be a man? Before the flag ceremony started, I squeezed between Araceli and Delma, as if in comfort with twins stretched arms with Bora and compared who got lighter after a hot summer. The first period roll call was English, names of models corner my notebook. oohs and aaahs .. to be reminded more of Susana, Basilisa, Virginia .., Erlie O, and Dominica next, and true too, that of Zenny G, LourdeVille and Roovy Ruby. What else is there worth noting at early stage falling in love quick, meant adding pig and turkey pens. Did I ever note the silent ones on the second day? Can really tell CV, GF and CF definitely sharp with sweet alluring looks. Be careful there are only 3.5 hectares for sugar cane. Ah, third day, and fourth day, and Friday... before it ended, I didnt wait to dream more of the same. The weeks went fast. We had our first class play in Biology and the first one that wore lipstick was not anyone of them but the youngest Ernie O. I played Mom. In our school play, SC kept practicing-Elvis…and caliph of Baghdad, defined the roles with gusto, saracen blade, and Aurelia too. Mr. M. Aquino suggested a veggie garden for the school-front one day. LR and SM offered to make History and pull, and relate with TRA better as in the old tradition. We pulled bamboos from Amansabina. Third year became the infatuation-high year. Our teachers were alarmed by so many loving pairs. RR - MP leading. GT keep silent over NB because his heart pounded every school day he passed her house. Didnt even let RC sense it, you know. AVQ and IV, SM and Teresita R were church serious. Even the cool dudes were not spared. Roly B and Josey Q were rumored to be eyeing at Zarsuela star LV. Serge also have loved, and so did Romeo V. one beauty two steps short of Malabago. There you are JG, BF, EM, and BN. One brought chicken manure for DAQs coffee plant, another pulled the grass around and two others alternated to water AM/PM so it grew taller and faster than anyone elses until… a red-black winged butterfly fancied the top. On the fourth day a silvery critter hang on the twig. Juliet let it live be it someday reborn a butterfly. And so I had the best time in MHS, the year I always recollect … nights of lusting embrace, first tango .. and a never ending love under cloud.
