i am currently in the phase of discovering batch reunions. and just recently, i've discovered that i am loving it. well, it was a long way from the very different me who sans the memory of high school life...hay skul, i used to say. i am singing a different tune now.
i have several realizations after the nine and a half years i did not see some of my high school batchmates. and at this age, i am amazed to have found out that we've grown quite differently from what i am expecting.
i've realized that almost all of the guys had a crush (at one point in their HS life) on two of our girl batchmates... quite expected really because those two are the batch's prettiest.
i've realized that some of the coolest guys grew up to be the biggest jerks. consequently, some of the boring nerds and uncool, un-'crushable' types grew up to be admirable and responsible men. and there are still those, who, after six months short of a decade, are still blissfully unaware and misinformed.
some never moved on after their first heartbreaks; while some found their better half among the batch. and there are those who, until now, are still working on their courage to tell somebody their true feelings.
nine years is a long time. some lost weight; some gained it. some bloomed while some withered; others never seemed to have changed at all. and there are some who said goodbye to the batch a bit earlier than they should have to. they are missed; their memories still etched in the hearts of those of us who remains.
i realized that time will never stop for anyone and that every minute counts. time wasted will never be recovered. we can never take too many pictures. some of the best things remained undocumented. there are memories that until this day remained indescribeable and inexpressible; they remain as emotions too poignant to be forgotten.
so, eventhough i failed to tell every single one of my batchmates how thankful i am that they became part of my life, i will never again go back to that phase when i seemed to want to forget them. xox

Very beautifully said. :) I have to say I feel somewhat the same, though I have to admit that there's only a handful of people in the batch whom I really feel close too... or should I say isa lang talaga ehehehe. But seeing some of them online, and running into two of them last week made me realize that they were people whom I cared for and miss kahit papano. And when I remember how it was back then, I want to see them badly, say hello and basically just catch up.
thank you.
korek ka dun, iba rin pala di ba pag naaalala mo sila... bakit kaya pag tumatanda ang tao dumarami yung mga instances na nostalgic sila...parang ako...laging ganun. parang andami kong nami-miss...
I don't want to go to reunions... siguro, college since you guys are there, but high school? There's only a handful of people in high school that I want to see again. Sorry, mas love ko ang college crowd ko hehe
ako din naman, hands down na college crowd ang mas mahal ko...narealize ko lang na nami-miss ko sila kahit paano and kahit na konti lang ka-close ko dun dati, pag nagkita kita kami ngayon parang close na kami lahat hehehe...
