Rockstars. :))

~~We like to call ourselves rockstars.~~ Haha, scratch that; WE ARE nga pala. We laugh about everything, we group off all the time, we've been there for each other so many times. We rat on about school sluts and unfair teachers, sometimes we tend to gossip. We can fight, scream, laugh and jam all day long. We've never really understood each other. And though we never turned into the sappy kind of group despite my being in it, and though I have never heard any of us refer this word to ourselves, FRIENDSHIP plays a big role.

You might hear us say, "hoy mga 48!!!" We call ourselves, unofficially, 48-48-48. There came a time when Melaika's favorite number was 48--or at least, favorite number to say. Like, "grabe, 48 years na ko naghihintay dito!!!". We all kind of adapted it. Then one time, we got around talking about body statistics. "100-200-100!!!" "Si Gwen, 1-1-1???" "OMG!!! 48-48-48!!!" And it stuck. Now we scream when we see the number 48. We were particularly sour none of us got the 48 jersey on the juniors' shirt last year--Gwen and I got close to nabbing the 48 jersey, being F and J and the 48th person in our batch being Cherry Lafuente, but not quite there.

We have a ton of inside jokes. The best part would be all the codenames. We have codenames for most, if not every single one, of our "love interests"; sometimes, for hated or adored teachers; for sluts and enemies; for people who did something funny, for the sake of nicknames. We made the most last year, and we've been trying to write it down, but we never seem to run out of them.

We also have our assigned animals and nicknames. Gwen and I used to be frog and cat way back in second year, but everyone spoiled the Froggy-Kitty nickname by joining in. Not long after, I became turtle for my famed slowpoke-ness, and nicked "Peegee" from "pagong"; Melaika became a pig, because she was always the heaviest on the scale, so therefore "Oinkii"; Madz just got bangs then, so she became "Bangsie", and the closest animal that has anything resembling bangs would be a chicken (the red thing: it's called palong in Tagalog, but what's it called in English again???); Gwen became "Frankie" because sometimes her skeletor figure and huge eyes give you the impression of a female mummy, therefore Frankenstein, but she remains to be a frog in animal terms. Melaika and I call each other TABA, because she's the heaviest and I'm the one with, for my weight, the bigger hipline when we were measuring up for the Spanish costumes in 3rd year. So there.

May ihahaba pa itong post na to, but Photo Seminar starts in an hour and 40 minutes, and I have to go get ready early just in case my dad won't be able to take me to school. ;)
