The Sam Post

It's been a hell of a year, Dahlia, and our days as sophomores are numbered, since after enrollment, we'll technically be juniors, and not second years anymore. Having moved from the days where we were worried about kite flying, drafting, and the shape of the earth, we are about to move on from the days where we would seek Jaren's wisdom at the Jaren Gaz, sleep during Bio class, make Bobbi jokes, play the Dahlia board game, ask your adviser to moonwalk, drag Jeorge inside the CR, or do one of the other 94 things on the list.

Though Dahlia initially seemed like a class that was divided (take for example the seating arrangement where all the girls +Ludho, Vance, Jeorge, and Jeks were seated on one side and all the guys -Ludho, Vance, Jeorge, and Jeks were seated on the other side), Dahlia proved to be a class that was united, not only through the countless experiences we've had together (from watching 500 Days of Summer to the great "homeroom" classes we've had, to Red's dramatic entrance for Paskorus to manning the Dress Me Up Booth during the Pisay Fair to the Middle East summit to the epic outing at Gaby's resort) but also because of an adviser who was more than just an adviser.

What we thought would be the most dreaded and stressful years in Pisay turned out pretty well thanks to the great moments we've had as Dahlia. The point of all this is that though we are no longer gonna be sophomores in a few days time, we will still remain Dahlia 2012, a title we will never lose. Dahlia, from class number 1 (Andaya) to Class number 31 (Sicam) has been one of the most awesome classes ever, and as a fitting bonus, we will be the only class in Pisay history to have Sir Da recorded as our adviser.


That being said, we may be down to 29 by next school year. Sir Da is leaving for China, and Sam is leaving for the USA. Since Sir Da will only be leaving by the end of August, we would first like to leave this blog as a tribute to our dear classmate Sam, who we last saw at the Dahlia house hopping, which was beyond awesome. To make this possible, Levy had an idea of making an account called "Dahlia 2012" (whose email address happens to be "dahlia2012@gmail.com") that can contribute to the blogspot. The password of this account is "papajack". Thus, anyone from Dahlia can edit this very blog and add their own special message for Sam if they would like to. Levy asked me to start off, and said he'd be adding some pictures soon.



Sam, if you are reading this, I've never really gotten the chance to know you really well, but you've been a great classmate. I miss our class, and our class will surely miss you. Dahlia 2012 won't be the same without you. -Justin

To our very very special and one of a kind Sam Fadrigalan,

This new segment of this post has been created early morning of June 6. The next day is the start of the new school year and it is very sad to know you won't be part of it. We are glad to inform you though that your presence and Sam-ness will always be in our hearts and minds. It has been a pleasure being classmates with you for the whole 2 years you have been in Pisay as a Sapphire and as a Dahlia. In a span of 2 years, I guess I tried to get to know you more. I was hoping that in 2nd year it'll happen, but well... you became a dormer. :)) Not that it was bad or anything, but I was hoping you were still an extern so I could talk to you more. I've had 2 years of classmates memories with you. If ever you visit, tell the Sapphire group and we're going to fix up another red box session and maybe a separate one for Dahlia if they want one too. I hope that wherever you are, you won't forget us. You spent two High School years in one totally awesome school, batch and sections. ;)

-Thea was here. ;)

P.S. There'll probably be another message and longer, but mayber with Sapphire pics. :))

"Saaaam. I'm still waiting for you. 29 pa rin yung Sr :|."

Sam: Because I'm not good with goodbyes, because I don't like goodbyes, because I don't believe in goodbyes. Sorry this message took so long :)) But see you soon, Sam, because there are no goodbyes. Just see you soon's.
