Kinder and Grade 5

In Masbate, Masbate, in early 1980s, I and some of my Nursery and Kinder batch at Liceo de Masbate were still geniuses in microprocessor design for example, and we're calculating solutions for the Rubik's cube. When I was about to start Nursery, I remember the Star Trek or Star Wars podships were being destroyed that I was made to ride them to school one last time. And a few houses in Danao St. near Quezon St. still looked like "Tatooine" dwellings of Star Wars. I graduated Valedictorian in Nursery and Kindergarten. 

In grade 5, I think I was not in the top Honor Roll, but this was the time we reviewed or redesigned the Intel microprocessors like for silicon lasing and interconnects. And this year was the time when I was reminded again of my song compositions, so there were many songs recorded here where I was absent for maybe two weeks or a month (maybe too much sex, drugs, and rock and roll again; I was highly "influenced" by them). And they were trying to "extract" knowledge from me. They were always after some Star Trek knowledge and wanted to see holograms, if I can still make one.

But in the end, the money will go to a few corrupt people (bagful of money from song re-compositions and re-recording). I was no longer their Boss indeed, and they were no longer my people. (Maybe this Grade 5 indeed.)

I was out of the top Honor Roll in Grade 5 with these achievements in academics (microprocessor design and silicon lasing) and extra-curricular activities (song compositions)? They were destroying me, and they will pocket the bagful of money.

Good thing I still graduated First Honorable Mention in Grade 6.
