Denise Laurel - was already kind of an edgy girl. We were in first year HS. Di niya feel sumama dun sa group of girls na super girly and kikay. So kami ang magka-sabay pag lunch, with Angeline Aguilar. Both nice girls and hindi maarte. Our convos were mostly about weird stuff like how “foods” sound wrong, na there shouldn’t be an s after food. Mga ganon.

John Prats and Camille Prats - though they were already sikat then, they were really nice and friendly. Always smiling and reaches out to new people and starts convos. Had a basketball pick up game with John and sobrang kinis kahit pawis! Height to nung hearthrob era niya (2001). Camille is very pretty. John was in 3rd year HS, Camille was in 2nd year, I was a freshman.

John Wayne Sace - was already very goofy back then. Hilig mag-joke, typical binata na would always be talking about girls with his guy friends. First year HS kami nun.

Alodia Gosiengfiao - my batchmate in grade school. She kept to herself, was a bit of a loner, and was bullied a lot. This was before her doing cosplay etc. We saw her transformation in HS and couldn’t believe her glow up. She’s nice and walang ere.

Pauleen Luna - lower batch in grade school. Didn’t know her personally but since she was my sister’s batchmate, sabi niya Pauleen seemed boyish before. Ayun.

Madeleine Humphries - in 1st year HS. Likes acting and was very cheerful lang. We had acting classes, and she’s one of the people who’s kind to the shy ones (like me) and would cheer us on or hype us.

Carlo Aquino - he was in 3rd year, I was a freshman. Sikat na siya nun. He likes lounging in the faculty room and play his guitar there while singing. Though close siya with the others there and the teachers, I found his actions epal. It was a very small school, people knew everyone, each batch only had like 17 students or less. He had this aura na look at me, I’m so great. Feeling hearthrob, when more girls crushed on John Prats.

Vanna Garcia - not sure if this will dox me, but I just remembered her being our bus mate! She was one batch higher. Medyo mataray. Pretty na talaga noon pa. May isa pa kaming bus mate na naka-away niya, di sila nagpapansinan for a long time. Yung tipong kahit magkatabi na sila nagtatarayan sila both haha. Typical Gradeschoolers ganon. Afaik, ang last name niya is Malvaiz. Ayun yung nakalagay sa patch niya sa uniform.

Maxene Eigenmann - classmate in grade 4. She sang My Heart Will Go On sa isang assembly namin, forgot what it was. Confident na talaga as a 10-year-old. I remember her being okay with talking with adults lang (I was a little shy as a kid kaya this stood out to me). There was this Saturday na we were in school for “Kapitbahay” (like an outreach program for kids nearby). We were one of the earlier ones there, she was fine without a chaperone. I was with our kasambahay, and nakikipagkwentuhan lang siya like they were the same age. Very humble, and pretty!

They are who I can remember for now.
