When one think of high school, I can't imagine it without the ever-challenging CAT-1. During CAT-1 days, the things that comes to my mind first are the questions Mr. Gazo and Mr. Jordan threw to us. Questions that are sometimes practical but requires a lot of attention and wit.
Here are a few of those:
1. What makes oil boil?
2. What makes you young?
3. Em Eye crooked crooked eye crooked crooked eye pee pee eye. What is it?
4. You were riding in a truck. If I will replace you in the truck, what will happen to the truck?
5. Spell Mississippi with one "i".
6. See each side by side, you are inside. What is it?
7. If a black stone is thrown to the red sea, what will happen to the stone?
8. Big Indian and small indian are walking in a street. Small indian is the son of big indian but big indian is not the father of small indian. Who is big indian?
9. A man visited a prisoner and was ask by the guard on duty what's their relationship. the man said, "Brothers and sisters I have none. He is the son of my father's son." How related are they?
10. How can you empty a mountain?
11. Two mothers and two daughters went for a snack. They ordered one burger each together with iced tea. They were served three buns with meat and three glasses of iced tea. How can it be?
This coming Dec. 29, 2005, our batch in high school (East Negros Institute Batch 1985) will be having our reunion after twenty long and fruitful years. It is expected to be fun and memorable as our memories of the past. Preparations for this said event had started late last year and with the effort of our beloved classmates who are so very generous of their time, the announcement had gone past boundaries. Our good friend, Mr. Nilo Agir, is the one who had been so warm and kind enough to always remind everybody. Batchmates in Tanjay, Rosemarie Mananquil, Gracia Banogon and the others made sure that this will be a great event, not just for us batchmates, but for all our loved ones. There may be others who cannot come due to some unavoidable circumstances but I'm sure, that night, their minds will be with us. Nilo and the organizing committee had so much ideas of fun and excitement. The program of activities had been planned and re-planned. There is no stopping now.
Thanks will also be extended to our batchmates who made it to the land of milk and honey. I can't help but smile whenever I read that some friends are giving away things for the sake of their friends. It's been too long. But the time and space that separates us seem to melt and here we are, very eager to see the difference between then and now.
Questions will be raised when we enter the door at the venue... Who has become fat? Who has remained sexy? Who have Santa bellies? there will be ooohhs and aaahhs but I'm sure the loudest would be hehehe and hahaha...
