a Graduatee of a private school in section 1
by treasuring every minute my dad have done

my goal is to be just a complete man
to have a complete mind, plus my heart are my plans

Your concern for me was my armor
That's why I'm never been stabbed
I love to live all on my culture

Freshman

Obviously, this is about my story bein' a Freshman. The school wasn't near my previous school, yet it is so far from my house too. My parents have already planned to let me study there, a private school, even though i don't want there at first. I thought it's time for me to be with my neighbors' school, but it wasn't. I knew nobody at that school community except for my cousin, Joy. And so, i attended the :

First step of HS: First Day of Classes

Whew! I am not wearing my uniform plus my mom accompanied me to my school because it's my first time to go there. Seems that I'm kinda late, because the lane of the Freshmen had all left. But then my cousin, Joy's sister, May, told me that my section is Tarshiershoes *First spelling came into my mind*. Then, that section's adviser came down,Mr. Impelido asked my section, so i said
Tarshiershoes, then lead me to our classroom. There, on the top of the door, I saw the right spelling of our section w/c is St. Tarcisius!! Oh i forgot, I'm kinda weird man because that day, I was wearing a sling-medical *the term according to google*. I have an arm injury those times because I have slipped in the midst of the rain with algae on the floor which is slippery ^^.
So then, being aware of my environment, i have known that my current seatmates we're Miguel and Crisanto *my seatmates for groupings only^^*. Then the first activity..

Get to know each other : Names

On this activity, the first one will tell his/her name, the second one will tell the first one's name, then tell his/her name, the third one will tell first one and second one's name, then his/her name and so on. Unfortunately, I'm the last person according to the sequence of the seatings. WTF! I gotta listen to them all, because i will tell all the human being's names on our section afterwards! *I hate memorizations if you know..*. Wisely, I've written their names within the sequence. Then amazingly, I've made it ~~, , recited all the 40+ different faces' names plus known my crush' name on that first day, Erika ^^.

Those days, I am so quiet even though I already have some friends to talk to ~~,. And because it's my first time coming to a private school, the following are my mission-impossibles:

1. Play computer games on weekends only
-I play Ragnarok Online those times, an addict player!
2. Make a reviewer notebook
-Something that will contain only keywords
3. Participate actively in class discussions
-Which I used to do
4. Have more friends
-Yea, I'm a friendly one
5. Get exploding on math hours
- My favorite subject, show time?! ~~,

Unfortunately, I failed the First promise.
Because I was excited being Hunter and Assassin on that pRO!.
Second promise ; failed too. I don't have much time because of failing promise #1.
Third promise ; success!
Fourth promise ; success, almost all of my classmates are my close friend ^^.
Fifth promise ; success. But unfortunately, I think only 91 was my highest mark on my card.

These Freshmen days was my happiest batch I think. Because of the combinations of my classmates. We we're called *Manila Zoo* because of many calling names such as animals *Lec-hon, Butiki, Red-nosed raindeer, Aso, Bangus, etc. And I think the balance of our bonding was 8o% fun and 20% study.

I became the top 7, 7, 8, 6 of the class *from first-fourth quarter with its order*.
We don't have closing party and Feast day's party *don't know why, maybe because of our adviser's performance ^^*. So for the closing party, I plus my fellas went to Star City!
To mention their names, as i remember they are the following :

Joshua *Me^^*
Arvie Magno
Mark Garcia
Bren Cruz
Joshua Perez
Kevin Wan
Drexler Marasigan
Glenn Saturnino
Jimboy Bayani
Jc Barawidan
King Abraham Rocha
Crisanto Sigue
Kenneth Coronel

All boys ait? ^^ Yes we had fun there and actually we have some records.
*King Abraham kicked the props on horror house where someone was holding it.
*Glenn and Kenneth went up to the restricted area on Jurassic Ice Park and they wore Sando "Took off their clothes" which is restricted too.

I can't forget it, because that was my first time going out with my new friends. And our dancer classmate, Kevin Wan, was B-boy'ing *breakdancing* on the Hallway ^^.

Well done, those are my happy memories being a Freshman. I enjoyed it, but unfortunately/fortunately, I accelerated onto the higher section the next school year, Section A *Pilot Section*.

P.S.

I started being a Pangster *refer to the Pangya Players ^^* these times. I think it is on the midst of October when I've met my long-distanced friends. Whose :

Seychelle Airiz Gonzales
- I think this is not her real name^^

Stephanie Pearl Lim
- See the previous article? It's her

Till' my next post : Sophomore
Keep hoppin' ^^ Chout!!

The Vertex of my Lifespan..

.Sorry for the piracy of the picture.

Change topic for a while, lemme tell ya the hottest update on me. A negative news, or whatever.. If you we're my friend, then surely you know what it is (90% of my friends know her).. These days, sooo depressed... So lazy -comfortable by just taking a nap the whole day, not interested to go out and chill with my friends, even in the computer shop, I never went since May 27, 2008 and It's been about 1 week. Don't know why i have to be like this but my heart, evaded my mind, ordering my body to be depressed. Yes, i don't want to be blue like this, wanna do something that can forget these things even temporarily, but I always fail. Always walking around with my head down, sit up all night thinkin' bout her plus sleepin' soooo late in the morning.

Important Events : Brief Updates

May 26, 2008, the Anniversary of the day we've met -May 26 2007.
When i woke up around 9am, as a habit, first I checked my cellphone and it was weird because it was turned off -I remember, it has about 5/7 bars of battery- so I turned it on. OMG! I have 132 missed calls and several text messages. I think it's just a sort of bug or error on my cellphone. The culprit is only one, whose the number is unknown. Then I've read the new messages tellin' that she's Steph from this unknown number. I didn't believe because the handwriting of the message was a bit different but then she called me again and that was the 133rd time -now i'm able to answer it- that made me believe that she was Steph. Asked her if she remember something, and yes she does -probably it was the reason for her come back to me. Minutes passed, she told me she was sleepy ^^ -her night was sleepless because of calling me the whole sleeping hours so we cut the conversation. Those days, we we're so active communicating each other. We were exchanging "What's up"s, "How are you"s, etc. But then, about night times, her mood suddenly changed.
Told that she remembered something I've done in the past.
The weird thing is, the message that she texted to me was exactly the same message she texted when she was mad to me for the long time. Maybe she remembered it when she saw it on her Sent Messages. Probably, Saw it, got mad, and forwarded to me. I was totally trying to explain everything, that maybe it was just because of my immaturity -that never knew/thought her reaction before I make the move.
The main problem is, I almost two-timed her.
Embarrassing right?!
Who the hell I am to hurt a princess? And now that I'm ready for the serious relationship, I've lost her.
The last thing I can do is wait for her.
Then, her temper steamed... Since then, she was ignoring me. The next day, May 27 2008, It was my classmate's birthday -Kaetlyn's. Alcohol is the main event of her birthday. Logically, a man with a problem facing the Generous -Generoso- in front of him, got tipsy. Yes, they all know my problem, I'm an open person.


As always, I'm still textin' her... Hoping that we can fix this thing.. Trying to apologize...
She didn't reply except the goodbye words like this:
*Find a new girl, never include me please..*
Such a spear pierced on my chest.

Until now, June 1, around 2am i beeped her.. Just a question, that if she doesn't really love me anymore. Yes, i know it's weird. A confident question?! No, but a confirmation question instead. I want to confirm my negative interpretation. Then she answered,
*Yes, I don't love you anymore..*.
And it's... -Whoa- confirmed. I replied
*Oh, thanks . . .*
then no reply at all. It's weird, my eyes are wet like i've just washed my face a while ago. And i can feel the warmth of it.. Don't know what's next..



This is the very first time that 100% of Joshua loved someone. Yea it's true. She, who Stephed the 4/15 years of my life. Other details maybe on the sequence, vacation times before being a third year. Til here, ChouT!

Brief Autobiography

I studied at my early age of 5, learning on my kinder garden times.. Hmm.. lemme see.. The only thing I still remember is, that my teacher delayed my dismissal and tested my English skills. She gave me a matching type test on English-Tagalog of the days of the week
(Sunday-Monday/Linggo - Lunes). Haha, and I did the method that my friends taught me -the mini-mini minee mo method! Dunno what was the result of that exam. One more thing, that I went home on the midst of class hours because my classmates are all trippin' me. Unfortunately, that wass the exact day of the *Injection* of our class (So-called "Bakuna"). My parents wondered about my early arrival so they asked but I reasoned out -"We had an early dismissal. On the time of dismissal where I'm at my home, my teacher accompanied by my classmates went to my home! Some of my classmates knew where my house is so they must have lead my teacher the way. I'm the only remaining one who was about to be injected, all of my classmates were watching me as they wait.Then the big event, the injection scene... My eyes were all closed -ready for the incision. The doctor said "It's finished..". Nah' I didn't feel anything! Haha.. Kinder times was the beginning of my ultimate skill playing computer games. I can still recall the most popular one gadget -"Family Computer".I play Contra,
*99 lives = down left up right, B A B A select start, a cheat :)*
Mario Land, etc. I graduated successfully.

Elementary times..
I was on the 7th over 9 sections. Whew! My house was too far to my school. My parents intended it because they wanted me to be far from my friends (neighbors). They don't want me to learn such things as they do -like cutting classes ^^. If I'm not mistaken, my teacher was, Ma'am Bautista! I'm one of the known SIGAs (One who never hold back in fights; brave) on our batch XD.

Then on grade 2, I was promoted for the section 4 -improved!. I think my Mathematics skills was on the uprising stage those times that pushed me to a higher section. My teacher was Ma'am Viscara. My dad oftenly drag me to our school through a Bicycle. On the midst of this school year, I asked my dad "How about I'll go to school alone?". He allowed me. That was my first time to ride alone in a Jeepney. It was actually two rides of Jeepney to reach my school but not far enough that I pay the minimum fare each ride (P3.00 that year). I noticed that as I wait for the Jeepney to reach my school, my eyes were a bit wet but I know I am not crying. Maybe it is just a neutral feeling for a child to travel alone on his/her first time. Weeks passed, this habit of my eyes banished.
Once, I had a seatmate named Aileen. She was cute enough to make kids blush on her (I use the term kids for I am one of them :P). There was a guy named Leonardo -let's say- committed on her -because they have a crush on each other. Leo got jealous on me after Aileen admitted that she had a crush on me. Maybe some time I triggered it worse and once, his anger unleashed. He hitted me a punch so I replied some and then we exchanged harder as our temper gets higher and higher. It happened near the blackboard that made all of our classmates witnessed the clash. Our teachers never had an idea of fight scenes since no one dares to inform our terror teacher :D. As an award, both of us received the prestigious black eye. I'm a bit tensed when I'm about reach my way home because I am afraid to take my Dad's sermon and punishment as it is obvious that I had a black eye. As I reach our street, he saw the mark on my eye though I am trying to hide it. He handed my face up to see it clearly to confirm that he see a black eye on me. Tensed with his reaction, I wondered as he giggled for a second. No scolding session occured. Questions were left on my mind -"Why didn't he scold me?',"Why did he laugh on me?"- for a long time but now I can say the reasons behind those. It was part of experience XD.

Grade 3, section 4 still -I forgot the name of my teacher. One time, we had a test on English. My Father was watching me there, but i'm not in my mood to answer it so i didn't, on the reason "I don't have pencil and paper anymore" even though I do have some. My teacher informed my dad whose outside the room waiting me. My dad bought a pencil and a paper, and I was forced to answer that. I think the topic is "Singular and Plural ^^", the simple words such as basket, ball, rainbow, etc.

Grade 4, section 4 again. My teacher was Ma'am garcia, a terror teacher!! Whew' her punishment was, tapping hardly an inch diametered cylindrical wood on our hands! For many times I've experienced that heavy punishment. She recognized me because of my Math skills which is her subject, so slight less of penalties^^.I am on the place of top 7-8 those times.

Grade 5, Ma'am Santamaria, section 3! Jeez, her introduction? That she was a Lion whose about to eat us when we we're caught doing something that we musn't especially during her classes!! She was also called as one of those terror teacher, but actually, she wasn't. She was my favorite teacher -teaching English and Mathematics. She used to compete us Mathematics students. I find her quizzes "Logic" so i loved her style. I am the Top 6 on that grade.
One thing I can still recall is a scene on her quiz.
(In a form of a quiz bee -using a 1/8 illustration board)
For the final question, she asked:
"Round off to the nearest tenth the number 1999."
I know its 2000 (long explanation) so I wrote it on my board and hide it.
Minutes ago, Ma'am told us to reveal our answer. I feel more tensed after seeing we had different answers (1990, 1999, etc.). I concluded that my answer is wrong because our "Best in Math" is also in another number. Losing my confidence, I almost downed my illustration board but then Ma'am announced "2000 is the answer, who got it right?" and then my classmates pointed me. Whoa! I didn't expect my weird independent answer to be appreciated.
(Lol yeah, easy question -but not as a grade five student)
I joined the Cheering Squad Competition on that time -"Mighty" is the name of whom we were cheering for -as we scream "Go Mighty!" blah blah. We bagged the Third place.

Then the graduating stage, grade 6, on section 2!. Don't know why I am not qualified on the star section (A) except knowing that my behavior is a hindrance XD. That was the most memorable school year among all of my elementary years. There was some stupid situation that I took a punishment that was actually not for me. An unreasonable punishment that my teacher might be imprisoned doing it.
(You don't have to know what he/she did.)

Positive memory about his teaching hours:
(His is not always for boys -that bastard was a gay)

He is performing his introduction about his next topic, Ordinal Numbers.
He asked : "What is the difference between Ordinal and Counting Numbers?"
He released many words of wisdom (like "My god, no one knows? any idea?", blah blah) for about several minutes. I analyzed. I have no idea about this mysterious Ordinal Numbers because I do not take advance reading. Mind over Matter. Ordinal is an adjective and I guess the root word is "Order" so I took my guess and raised my right hand up right after he asked us If we have any idea.
I said
"Arrangement?".
"Very Good! Now..." he continues his lecture.
"Galing :D"
(Great :D)
said Ariane.

Next:

The Christmas dance competition, the most memorable one. We danced over the soundtrack "Pasko na naman" of Sexbomb! -lol. We grooved it on a swing style. Suzette was my partner. Before the awaited performance, my classmate treated me on Computer shop as we got bored while waiting for grade 6's turn. We played Counter-Strike . We arrived back a minutes late to prepare ourselves so both of us rushed on our costume and luckily, we had beat the time -the exact moment of our performance- so we were able to perform. We bagged the first place on this big event.
That was the time I started a habit on going late on coming home. The habit of chilling with my friend's house -3x further from school to my home-, Counter-strike with my friends, etc.

Then the graduation day.
We all graduated.


PS : I was one of those who we're called their parents because of not doing their assignments, on grade 5. My first "Call-Parent" Penalty.

TiL my next post, about my High-School times. Pictures of my Elementary times maybe next time if i'L have a time. Cho'ut!!

About me -source: friendster

John Joshua H. Agravio

That was my name. They usually call me: Josh, Joshua, Agravio, Uwa, at Master (dun sa mga MINI version ko daw). My birthday was June 23, 1993, I am Cancer (astronomically *zodiac sign). I live in Pasay, a weird city of weird people. I love playin' computer games, logical games, basketball, chess, but then these times im too busy with my appointments *sigh*. I am a Third Year Student of SCPS creeping in my room, a pilot section. I am a lazy person. I am a member of Sipnayan *Math* club, DotaBoys of tarci, Batibot of tarci, Heart of Cuirass of tarci, etc. I loved to read PUGAD BABOY, but then i stopped because im so busy with my stuffs.I love to listen on RnBs, i hate ROCK. My favorite movies/TV shows on my whole past
lifetime was Gokusen, Detective Conan, I am Legend, Death Note, etc. I love the way i am, the way i think, i move, i hate on somethin, i love on somethin', etc. I am a logic person who loves logical things. I am a sensitive person enough to sense some things that are weird* because i loved to play like a detective^^. I am also a writer. Writer of poems, entries that i want to be read to let the people know what they must. An example of it was *anong sey mo*, a contest of COURIER, an organization of our school concern of writers. I've written an article about *MATHEMATICS AS THE EASIEST SUBJECT* and it won. Im proud to tell it because it's an achievement, not for FAME or POPULARITY, but it was the writer's chievement, to let the public read and understand what they must. So it's an achievement for a writer, not for Josh. By the way, i gotta leave. Just leave a comment maybe regarding to this essay^^. P.S., im a pride-filled person.

Continuation:
As ~~, Josh, i also have many allies anywhere. Some because of DotA, principles, hobby, etc.
But somehow i also have many opponents/enemies. I don't curse them on my mind or have an anger on them. Instead, i simply think, "what if this man was about to duel against me? nah' no chance of losing..". Principles are my kneepads, bandages, etc. It supports me a lot even though i'm injured/wounded by these sh*tty problems. My mind can count thousands of sheeps, but then i can't sleep early at night. Always about 2-3am specially this vacations.
Think i got insomnia.. Whew!

~~, Josh

This article was made for about December, 2007 which means it was not updated yet.
Til' my next post, Ch'ouT!!

Who's this jerk.?!

The name is John Joshua H. Agravio..
chillin' here in Maricaban, Pasay City..
born on June 23, 1993..
Studied on my early age of 5. Now 14 years old, graduating in High School.
Will be 15 on my birthday written above of course ^^
I am the only child of our family, no brother, no sister,
so no *hating kapatid! (Brother/Sister share)*.. =P
My parents are both Filipino, so i am aFilipino too and im
proud bein' one.

My dad was named Honorio S. Agravio *sort of spanish^^*.
A honored student on his class times. I liked his story:

He had an enemy, a big enemy on his high school.
Maybe it was a gang or a group, yet he was alone.
So in order to be safe, he was forced to drop his studies.
Intentionally failed his exams, quizzes, etc. He escaped those because thinking wisely,
what can he do on a section of boys who wants to eliminate him.? He used to sell *balot* on his early age
in order to help his family.
On his 20+ maybe, he worked on factories of handicrafts.
He swiftly excelled and promoted and was called *bossing*.
Now, he worked on Dubai UAE as a Paint Artist, and currently, on Thailand working on scale models.
Im so proud of him because even though he was not able finish his studies,
he can manage to pay tuition fees on my private school, brought me and mom
on Thailand too just for a summer vacation, buy our new house on Laguna, give us a comfortable life, etc.
So i treasure anything and everything he give.
I am the remaining chance of our family to have our own car, and i promise
to do that maybe when im in years of working.
(My dream for my family :D)

My mom was named Ofelia Aquino Hunat, but on his birth certificate, Lourdes was
her name! Typographical error? I do not know. She was the youngest child of her siblings. Intellectually well-known on her class times. Became one of those honors at her times, even in Saint Mary's Academy *In front of my school* which is also a private school. I don't know much about her ^^, apologies. Their age difference is 2, my mom was older than my dad. I salute their love for each other. They have a very strong foundation of trust -even they're many miles away.

Anyways, this is my blog -not my Mom's, or Dad's. Haha so off topic.
I am Feeling soooooooo weak this day... Gray lips, tiny voice, 1/2 maximum opening of eyes,
feeling cold in the midst of the afternoon, etc. But I know I should not waste my time by
just taking nap there at my sofa. So i decided to write, and the result is this.

The next post, my turn, my story. Ch'out!
