Meet someone with a big brain, heart, soul, and — well – everything! I-pay, or simply Pay, Pi or , watches her diet diligently (in fact that’s all she ever does with it – watch!). Certainly a girl with many traits … loves music and strums the guitar … volleyball varsity (even uses Jaworski’s tactics on the court) . . . an efficient goalkeeper… enchanting singer who can attract the rain .. a dazzling dancer. She’s a good listener and somehow manages miraculously to stay at the top of the class even if she’s often caught dozing in the middle of a lecture. In spite of her busy life, she would never forget to offer a helping hand or a shoulder to cry or sleep on. She’s a real great person, in every sense of the word.
Don’t part with your illusions. When they are gone, you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.
– Mark Twain
By the way those silly young girls are giggling, you can tell that Lt. Arceno just passed by. The shy, unassuming Colors Officer can enchant the girls easily with his boyish good looks clouded by that aura of mystery. He is quiet in and out of class, but when he’s with close friends he can loosen up and be just as crazy as the next guy. On the volleyball court or on the soccer field this guy doesn’t hold back, and when he’s on the drums there’s no stopping him. A real nice guy… he’s truly one of a kind.
Beware! Behind that sweet face is an Amy that has so much more to give. She can charm everyone with her creativity and wit, and never fails to bring light moments to an otherwise dull day. She’s the epitome of a well-rounded student – books and games and the library and SM and the canteen – and a typical human being (but please, don’t use her name in Biology). Behind that face is also the lovable, dependable Amy, a true friend when you need one.
The 5’9″ star spiker of Atom and the varsity team is one level headed kind of guy – takes his time and eases through life without a qualm. He enjoys playing chess, and enjoys it so much that he brings his own chessboard to school – everyday! And when he’s on the bike he can do a mean double jump. He’s the kind of person who’s shy and quiet in class but real noisy with his group, sometimes cracking his corny jokes and laughing at them half-heartedly (and somehow you can’t resist laughing right along with him).
It is not events and the things one sees and enjoys that produce happiness, but a state of mind which endows events with its own quality.
She’s a very well-rounded person (literally and figuratively) who maintains a lot of things in life: her piano-playing, class-presidency, studies and friends, are all simultaneously her top priorities. Should there be a search for Miss Super-woman, Eloie will easily run away with third, second and first place! She can be very serious and profound (!), but most of the time she’s a laughing machine, giggling her heart out (you mean she has one?). What more can you ask for?
When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams this may be madness. To seek treasure where there is trash. Too much sanity may be madness. And maddest of alt, to see life as it is and not as it should be.
– Miguel de Cervantes y Saavedra
One of the more obvious stand-out personalities in school (can’t miss that nose!) and also one of the friendliest, Jong is in a class all his own (except maybe for the one other person in the coterie he founded). He is also intelligent but gullible (hehe); sometimes earnest, at other times comical; uninhibited (true-to-life scandalosa) but mild; frilly and artistic but also pragmatic. Jong was also the brain behind not a few of the cliche’s you hear at school.
His enthusiasm is contagious, and one can never feel ill-at-ease when joking around with this character. His hilarity cannot be forgotten, his friendship is priceless, and his smile, unmatched.
Rosa or Marissa has three important objectives: To have
1) fun, 2) fun and 3) fun. When you have her for company you ought to prepare yourself for some highly-detailed stories (or at least, pretend you’re listening).
You’ll find her simply bubbling with words and it relieves you to know that she isn’t the nerd-genius, bespectabled person you perceived her to be.
