Oh, Philippine Science High
I have not failed thee completely. When my marketing professor asked what the stages in life are (adolescence, parenthood, retirement, etc.) I immediately thought: egg, larva, pupa, adult.
Oh, Pisay. As I "wander o'er the crests and troughs of the sea of life that flows", I may not exactly be fighting for the right or pursuing the glorious thee, but your light will always my beacon be.
i feel bad melai. i don't remember the pisay song anymore. me bad. not even UP naming mahal. me badder.
ReplyDeletewinner! egg, larva, pupa, adult. hahaha
ReplyDeletei remember in college when a classmate answered "breathing in and out" as the definition for respiration, in a botany class. my eyes rolled to the ceiling and didn't roll back down til five minutes later. man, that song should go, "in pursuit of the glorious ME."
nice one, mel! winner gid na ya if you actually said that to your prof :D
ReplyDeletehehehe
ReplyDeletewell, emotionally, mas accurate nga description ang naisip mo ;p
yes, sometimes i don't feel like a total sellout. sometimes.
ReplyDeletedeo, don't worry, i had to google it myself cos i couldn't remember all the words.
i did remember, "and fit all thy sons with wings to lend us flight in the sowing of our gifts". naks!
may tagalog version gle ang hymn?
ReplyDeletePSHS Hymn (Filipino)
translated by Stephanie Balois et.al. (Batch 1999)
Philippine Science High
Patuloy mong itinataas
Kaming 'yong mga anak
Sa paglinang ng aming kakayahan
O, Philippine Science High
Dunong mo'y patnubay
Sa aming pangarap, sa aming hinahangad
Na katotohanang lantay
Philippine Science High
Sa aming puso'y lumalago
At sa'n man magtungo,
Magpapatuloy sa dagat ng buhay
O, Philippine Science High
Liwanag mo'y tanglaw
Sa amin ay gabay sa landas ng buhay
At dakilang minimithi

PSHS Hymn
by Mario Taguiwalo (PSHS batch 1/1968)
Philippine Science High
Thou stands above with thy thoughts that lift
And fit all thy sons with wings
To lend us flight in the sowing of our gifts
Oh, Philippine Science High
Thy wisdom arms our youth
As we reach for our dreams, as we strive for our goals
As we search for the untarnished truth
Philippine Science High
The PSHS in us will grow
And go as we wonder o'er
The crests and troughs of the sea of life that flows
Oh, Philippine Science High
Thy light our beacon be
In our path through the world, in our fight for the right
In pursuit of a glorious thee.
hey mels!
ReplyDeleteeven in high school i had trouble memorizing our song. :-D
i do remember our grad song though.. ;-)
"..the only thing that's permanent is change.."

ReplyDeleteednamae! dumduman ko ya ang "this used to be my playground..." gosh, memories!

ReplyDeletesomeone asked me very recently what our grad song was, and i said "this used to be my playground." is that really the title of that song, and wasn't there another one? i cannot remember what it was.
eds, i cannot remember "the only thing that's permanent is change." was this the other one?
dei, our grad song was "change" by wolfgang rearranged by melai
ReplyDeletemadonnna's this used to be my playground was our baccalaureate song, i think.
hehe, dei, tama si liyatot. our grad song was supposed to be melai's composition... (sorry mels, i just had to let you remember that incident! hahaha!) But then "Change" na lang by Wolfgang.
ReplyDeleteAaah... baccalaureate song gali ang "I Remember"? Dumduman ko lang gina tukar na sa mga bayle-bayle ta to anay! Hahaha!
And, "This Used to be My Playground"? Did we really have that song? Gosh. We're such Madonna fans.
