CLASS PROPHECY I NEVER KNEW Its a sunny Sunday morning, in block 21, Singapore, there I live for 10 years,

in my only apartment. In the city around, Im still finding a job, perfectly fit on my course. Then suddenly on my apartment in my bedroom, it was 7:00 oclock when I woke up, on the floor of my bed, Ive found a picture, part of my memory, it was our wacky class picture , I couldnt barely tell, what year was I on the picture. Ive just remembered, oh my gursh!, it was my batch mates, 2nd year charity, what a horrible face I am that time, and, oh, it was Grantt, he used to be my best friend, and, is that Fritz? I wonder what he would be now. Then Alex, I could just describe him as a cat, on a trouble . then Ive just remembered I have a scrapbook of all my memories, there I kept it, and make it beautiful. I find my crafts and glue it my class picture. I keep all the pictures of my classmates, there was a solo one, the solo picture of Angel Andoy, I couldnt forget it, she was my first friend in HSS when I transferred there. The stolen picture of our class Mayor, Odyssa , I could just tell she is a professional. Then, the other picture of that girl who always blush, Shania and with Francis, they are a perfect tandem. Apparently, while it was starting to rain, I have to get up, and move now. After taking a bath and breakfast, I still have to look for a job. That morning, Im still struggling, its like theres no hope, and like I am so lonely. God, when can I have a comfortable life? I grabbed my keys, walk through the door, as I walk through this, oh! How I wish I could just be happy, and I could just found a work. I admit, this is really hard, just like what it used to be my parents says. My way to elevator, when a moron is inside, uggh! A monkey, whos staring at me. On my way to flat form, I saw there, oh a raffle promo, Price Plane ticket, a choice of travel. Then I just thought, why not go back to Philippines, maybe there I will have a job, its a way back home. In the MRT Station, I found this details in ticketing office, theyre also having a promo sale on flight ticket. Good, why not do it next month? I said to my self. Then, on my to boardwalk, Ive realized, I dont have anymore money! Then I hurriedly go to the bank to withdraw. From now I have to budget and invest my money. I walk outside the station to ride a bus. There, I stop to Changi Airport Ticketing office, I ask the sales personel, if I book my flight next month, how much will it be? but a complimation was in doubt. Sir, I am not so sure if there will be an available vacant seat what you needed, let me check. The personel said, Ah okay, how about in September 10? Is it still available? Ah, sir, yeah its still available, but the flight is on 10:00 am sir, is it okay? Okay, Ill take it. How much is it? its $80 dollar sir. Okay. I grab it, suddenly my stomach stumbles, Oh, Im so hungry now, where shall I eat this time? Then I go a fast food restaurant and finish my food. But then now, I still have to find a job. I ask the staff on the restaurant, sir, where can I have a job in this Resto? Do you have an available place where I can

work? Ah, okay, wait Ill check the log, wait on my office. He said. Okay youll be the cook here, your fellow cooks will tell you about all the terms and all the details, all you have to do is make a minute food, as soon as possible make it faster, and to serve the costumers with pleasure and delight, be energetic everyday, okay? He said to me in horrified way. Okay, gosh, thank you so much sir. Okay, youll start tomorrow, youll come here as early at 6:30, is it okay? Yes sir! Then after that, I go to the grocery to buy supplies in my apartment. All after that, I feel like to relax. How about the Theater? Then I make myself there pleasing and relaxing. Then at 6:00 pm, Oh, its getting dark now, I have to come home. And when I come home. Oh, after that all day full of trumindous feeling and now Ive found a job. Im feeling like to have my sleep, comfortable sleep, good night. Under the silhouette moon dark, I was pleased with feelingsI make my countings, first my blessings and the days before going back to Philippines, until I fall asleep. On the other day, Im almost going back now. I said while looking at the calendar. Ten more days to go, from now, Ill just suit my stay here in Singapore, make it better, cause maybe Ill be planning just to stay in hometown. All the days Ive stayed there, I am making a preparation, and just enjoying my stay. The next day after that. Id go to my grandmas house, my stepfathers mom. Ive visited her and just chatting, saying that Ill be going back next week. She says take care son, when you get there, give this to your Papa. She gave me all these lucky stuffs and Feng Sui. After a few days, the day when Ill be going back, Im so excited, Ill just have to rest and take all my memories here. Good bye Singapore. At 9:00 oclock am at the Departure, I make my last picture in Singapore. One step closer!. Oh God, guide me on my trip. Now the plane is starting, Gursh, Im on the window side, I hated it there,. So watch the plane as it is running on its way to fly. On the clouds I looked, what a shimmering fog on sunny day, the sun is clearly light, the clouds are airing on our ride. Wow! Singapore really is Highly-Industrialized country, look at the buildings, the amusements, its high above. Then we are on high above the sky, I felt so cold. Then there this flight attendant who provide me a sweater. She looks familiar, if I aint wrong that was my old folk, my classmate! It was Chloe Amores, OMG! Never knew she is this high now, she could just always have a free ride on air. Uzz, what a cold winter on bloomy sun. Im still chilling with a high temperature. When I got sleepy, I just slept on my seat for two hours, missing all the sky fun. When I woke up, Oh, are we almost there? I said to my mind. All I can see below is a browny and greeny plateau and high mountains. The speaker says Welcome to the Philippines, we are now arriving at a few moments, please Fasten your Seatbelts, the time here and to Singapore are the same, our GMT is 12:30. She said all of that. Oh, its 12:30, Im hungry, need a snack. I grab my food and have quick snack; after that, for a few moments . The plane now is landing, I really miss my country, Its been a years . the flight attendant/speaker give us a final instruction, Please dont stand, and

wait for the Green Light to sign. It takes a minute after the landing. Then when its time I directly go to Arrival, Omg, miss this, and I said a lot of that I am now taking my first step to my country, Welcome Cebu!, hahah. I ride a taxi cab to my way to Hotel. Then suddenly it bother me, the driver kinda looks like familiar, is it Jose Inting? Oh, my Jose! Is it you? Yeah, how do you know my name? We were classmates last time, in 2nd year? Chaity? Oh! It is you, Mathew? He said on a terrifying way. Yeah, its me Inting! Look at you! You have now a license to drive, a laborer, is it your part time-job? No, this is my only work that can help my poor family. He said it with emotions. Oh, Im so sorry, what happened then? Then we were talking and talking until we get to my route. I give him tip and pay him. Then, to my Hotel, I hope Ill make my comfortable stay here. I check in for 3 days. My room is on the 6th floor, my bed is comfy, a soft couch, and with pleasing colors. I rest there for a while. On 3:30 pm, Ive go out for a walk, walk to the mall, shopping, etc. then on my way to Department Store, it has stop me, Ive heard someones calling me. Mathew! Yes? Dont you know me? it was Sweetzel, the loud person. Sweetzel Yes, its me, how are? What are you these times?

Then we chat and talk and etc. After that weve shop the mall together, treat her a meal. After all the chit-chat, weve wave goodbye. With all my brought shoppings, I have to go back, at 5:30 pm, Ive rested until dinner. Then Ive sleep with my tender eyes. On the other day, while I was on my way to breakfast, then I smiled for a guard who I never thought he would be Nickens Orimaco, Id stared at him, and say Are you fom HSS when your in High School? The says Yes, why? May I help you sir? No, its me Mathew your 2nd year classmate, charity? After while, my stomach craves for food. I need to go now, Im hungry need to eat, nice seeing you again. Then I go to a Carenderia, eat there my varity of Filpino food cuisines.

It is a hot Tuesday noon, the jeep I rode stop in the park, so I get down and walk thorugh the church, Why is it so hot now? I said it with an angry face. When I step to the church, its already starting a mass. I find a seat and continue the mass. Then I noticed that the Priest is to be familiar, Is it Francis? OM!
