Blast From the Past - LSGH 4H Class Night

It's pretty much an LSGH standard that graduating classes throw their individual parties for their homeroom sections before graduation day: close to 40 students converge in a house meeting the following criteria: (1) minimal-to-no adult supervision, (2) has a gaming console, all of the latest video games and a 40-inch television screen (minimum), (3) has a basket ball court and a yard big enough for football, (4) does not allow underage drinking (I do hope you got the sarcasm on that one) and (5) has plenty of rooms for... stuff.

4H was pretty much a mixed bag of misfits, rascals, nerds, geeks, jocks, astists and Earl. Hi, Earl. I love these guys so much, no homo. Ha ha.

Ours was remarkable in a sense: we were the only class that had our class night out of town! One of our classmates gamely offered a near-empty 4-storied mansion in Canyon Woods, Tagaytay. I sh*t you not with the whole mansion thing, the place was huge! Sans the basketball court, it was perfect! The closest we had to adult supervision was the presence of Mr. Mario Cortez and Bro. Aikee Esmeli. FSC, by the way, who both are totally lax and chill (along with a battalion of bodyguards and drivers) so uh... yeah. Out of a class of 41, only 2 people couldn't make it because they weren't allowed (Hi, Pat and Carlos). Boo. I wonder why. 39 high school boys in one house, with all of that? Whouldathunk.

It was a Friday to Saturday thing and the whole endeavor was equal parts tiring, fun, costly and memorable. I do remember cooking the food on-the-fly for 40 plus people with the help of the ever-so-merciful Doldenn, somebody streaking, singing "Eye of the Tiger" at 4 AM in the morning, a friend asking for a hooker at the local 7-11, somebody falling asleep in the bathroom, a boxing match, unicorns, lots of bromancing and waking up with--hands-down--the worst hangover I've ever had.

And I would kill to do that all over again! To my 4H-Hippos (with no homo): I love you guys and I'll see you all soon! (click HERE and HERE for the complete album by Gerald Tejada) 'Til the next post!
