Thanks for stopping by! 
Good thing someone thought about this. our own SJA82 website. nice logo, nice site. Just a thought, our section is Diamond, whats the other name of the other section? Amethyst ba?
Some significant facts about batch 82:
1) We hosted the Jr-Sr prom at the Westin Philippine Plaza Hotel using the Luzon & Visayas ballroom.
2) The batch who gave them the famous “Horror hall” – was copied not never outbeaten – iba ang orig!
3) The aviators, remember the paper planes?
Hope these brings back memories to all of us.
More power to Batch 82.
Thanks, Louie, for the Facts. What I do remember distinctly was the stink bomb which disrupted classes in ALL Levels and tested the Batches’ unity and Mr. Javier’s patience…
The aviators, hahaha! I remember, Do you remember who they were?
I know, I was one of them. Hehehehe. The Black Sheep Squadron we were called in the leaflet issue of that month or was it quarter. I remember it was the same group that Mr. Javier was after because of ther zipper incident…
What I want to know is who put the huge nails on Mr. Javiers blue VW bettle. Thanks Karissa for reminding me of the infamous stink bomb. Here are the real facts. I don’t think it would matter much now years, or should I say decades later. I still remember vividly when Chili Sanchez approached me that she brought the stink bomb from the fun house. She handed it to me and I told Paul Moran and Mike Balboa of the stink bomb. Paul took it and threw it under the teach’s desk paltform. We all waited for the smell and Salvador Ruivivar stood watch by the door, so myself, Mike, Paul and Bayani de Leon slid the platform back to search for the vial among the trash under the platform(since we used the space under the platform as trashcan). As soon as Mike Balboa saw the vial, he stepped on it. Not two seconds later the whole room stunk and reached Mr Javier’s office. He came running down the hall and made us evacuatethe rooms because of a gas leak from the lab. Not long after that he figure it wasn’t a gas leak and it was from Aquamarine classroom. The best part of the incident after all the smell went away, Mr.Javier came to the class room and offered to give the person a passing grade in US and Oriental History if he would tell who brought the stink bomb. That is a test of our unity. Then the copy cats came after doing during recess(I think that was Noel Tanada’s crowd)
The cat is out of the bag, Steve!
I actually do know the story…Aquamarine — now that’s the other section we were in— sat in silence with bated breath as you and the boys were going about making sure the vial, which rolled under the platform, hit the wall or broke.
Well, guess what: Mr. Javier called me to his office, too, in the hope of getting something out of me. No dice. May I say, then: Sorry, sir, I didn’t tell you what I knew then. Somehow, there was something about those years that made us keep the real event to ourselves and not tell it to the officials.
========================
EDIT: 3rd year> Aquamarine / 4th year>Amethyst. Thanks for the clarif!
There you go it’s not a secret anymore. If you see Mr. Javier tell him I am sending my apologies.
That was on our third year. Our senior years was the Amethyst, Louie is right.
a simple quiz for you guys out there. can you name all the sections from 1st year to 4th year? Can’t seem to remember the sections from 3rd yr down to 1st year. (pasensya na, tao lang, tumatanda rin). hehehe…

C’mon, (baby-faced) Louie, you can’t be that old
it is nice to read your stories guys!! sana we can keep this up. i have yet to gather my thoughts and share mine…. read you all soon!
alvin, kindly resend your son’s graduation picture with mr. javier. thanks. nakita na ba ninyo yung mga lumang scrapbook photos sa yahoogroups natin?
I plead guilty to the crime Mr. Stephen von Erick Eva accurately recollected. May I remind everyone, although I am the principal and actual perpetrator of this incident, you are all my accomplices and in the eyes of the law, we are all criminals, no more . . . no less. Awwwe screw it! Wasn’t that a perfect crime? We got away with it all because nobody twitched and sold out, we were solid and united! Oh yeah!!!
Now that its out in the open, let me confess to another perfect crime. That bomb threat at the new building, Marquez Hall, which prompted Mr. Javier to make us all take the afternoon off was my genius idea. Obviously I pulled it off with a different set of accomplices this time, Mitch Concepcion, Lance Camacho, Jay Salazar, Cho Munchua and Frankie de Leon were my partners in crime.
Steve, are you in the country? Drop me a line bro or call at 0922 TXT TITS. We gotta get together and catch up. That goes for everyone as well.
fyi only

Sorry I was not able to go to our loyalty day last November 16 ( Sunday) since I have some commitment on that day. Nice to to see guys someday. Seeing your pictures , all of you look so young then…and maybe some of you are now fathers and mothers with your own children. Good luck and congratulations to all!!!!! cheers

do you have emailmail ad ng mga girls na classmate natin?Nagkaron na ba kayo ng reunion? thanks
Glad to hear old stories. I always remember yang stink bomb na yan dahil ilang oras akong kinulong ni Mr. Javier sa office nya para umamin. Kasi alam nya aamin ako dahil ako lang at ang kambal ang tahimik nuon sa class. Remember galing kami sa 1-A? Syempre naman kahit talagang makukulit ang mga boys ng aquamarine na yan, hindi ko sila sinumbong. Hindi ko talaga alam sino mastermind pero alam ko lang sila mike at steve. .. Kulang na lang dun na ko matulog sa office. He, he . Hindi ako napaamin ni Mr. Javier. Nice to see your pictures. Stay good always. God bless you more. Mababait na ba kayo ngayon?
sorry, mali ata ako na pasok ng classroom, maling section ung nabanggit ko na 1-1A sa other school pala un2nd and 3rd year nga lang pala ako sa st. John’s. Sorry again. Memory gap na….
