an ode to the judeans

by: Imang

I don’t know how I’ll start this piece,

But a thing surely I’ll miss,

Is a class full of bliss

In IV-St. Jude, it’s like we’re always in a feast!

Let me seize this moment to present them all...

Know each other’s definitions and roles,

Take a glimpse to our deep hearts & souls

Hear our voices and calls…

For all those who’re eager and excited,

Wait, I’ll be mentioning them as what I’ve said…

But discover first the lady behind this poetry,

Yes, it’s me, IMARI …

In grows a special camaraderie,

Between me, NORISZA, GELEEN & MICHELLIE

To them I say my secrets & worries,

And serve as my talking diaries…

Link me not to RHOWELL & RONIEL,

They’re just my chum, that’s all I can tell.

And take a look w/ these cute gals—MAILA,  

    DIANE & HAZEL,

Small you’ll see, but terrible…

When we talk about talents,

You’ve got the right place

We’ve got special skills ladies & gents,

And we wouldn’t put our section in disgrace.

A young leader—that’s LENNELYN,

Be marveled with the magic hands of PATHRINA & GENALYN…

Make fun w/ DEREK’s English carabao,

And SALVADOR’s not-so-nice jargon, that the church wouldn’t allow (gets? “Berbatz!”Remember?? Hehehe=)

Who’ll forget HAROLD’s joyous “so yummy, so sweet!!” step?

Here they come, so hold your breath…

The delights of Jude, who’ll they may be?

Take the dance floor, JAN REY, MARK, CARLO, & ZALDY!

Have you heard the songs of our own sirens?

Which may impart the entire room’s silence?

Presenting the three young divas,

Aim high, REGINE, GAZELLE, & LORENA!

Master of guitar strings,

Master of all things,

JEREMIAH makes his way…

His music makes us all jolly and gay!

RODEL, our best actor

In theater, he brings us name and honor

And still remember the performance of our “mestizang chinita”?

The “Jollibee” dialogue of Ma. MONICA?

In sports, we wouldn’t come last…

Our basketball boys might be kicking our opponent’s ass…

The secret weapons: height of JEP & PERRY,

And our team’s versatility

Let’s not forget the naughty lads,

For sometimes they tend to be very bad…

The hard headed students like ANTHONY,

    CHARLIE & McRICHARD,

Who always make our teachers mad.

I wanna know DYANNA MAE & ARIANNE’s

    secret,

For they have remained so simple and quiet.

As opposed with that of SHARMAGNE,

In our room, her voice reigns.

Oh! So these lovely boys!

One of them might be every woman’s choice…

J.P’s appeal, DIO’s dimpled cheeks,

And oh! Which attract lots of chicks!

Girls might be staring at ARJAY’s smile that’s so

    cutie

Boys might be looking at CRIS’ facade that’s so sexy

We might enjoy playing w/ JANELA’s hair that’s so

    curly

And touching ZAIDE’s face that’s so rosy.

We also have lovely inside…

We applaud MARIELLE’s good side,

And also PATRICK’s kind heart,

Beauty & character are never apart.

If love is sweet when shared by two,

Then it’s sweeter when shared by three too!

If we’ve got “the more you hate, the more you love”

    story of FILIP and SHIRLYN

Then we have the love triangle of RONEL, BRYAN

    and ELLA!

Our dear REYNALD must not be neglected.

He’s been a part of us, he must still be accepted.

And we show our gratitude to our adviser,

MAM JET has served to be our second mother.

Now we’ll take our separate ways.

But we’ll still meet the other days.

We may not be sitting together in our room or

    section,

But what we’ve got for each other are love and

    affection…

Being a part of the IV-St. Jude and CSJA is what we

    are proud of…

So adieu, coz now we’re signing off

But we say “Hello” to future coz, opportunity still

    knocks…

Remember that: “EACH JUDEAN TOTALLY ROCKS”!
