High School Batch Meeting

             Since our high school graduation in the year 2008, I was already the one who initiates the annual batch reunion. Some say we should hold it five years after the graduation so that we will really see the difference but for me I don’t think it will work. If we hold the reunion five years after, we will no longer be able to see some of our classmates. Maybe at that time some are already married, some are busy with work, and some might be abroad.

          As batch president I always make sure that every time I go home for a vacation we spend time together but of course our official reunion is every December 26 of the year. The fireworks display in Tacurong City is held every December 23 of the year. Most of us watch the fireworks display every year that is why we also hold our meeting for the reunion every December 23. This day, since some of us won’t make it to the fireworks display and some are also busy with their personal business, we decided to have the meeting in the afternoon before the fireworks display. The meeting was held at Dave’s residence at Brgy. Grino, Tacurong City.

Thank you Dave for the pancit. You're really great !:)

kathy and kyla

Kathy is already a registered midwife. We always get connected when the topics revolves around obstetrics. Thank God I have a friend to ask whenever I'm confused. I'm not really good in Maternal and Child Nursing. Kyla is taking up Accounting Technology in SKSU.

bamsy

A bouncy and loud fun to be with nursing student like me. We call her Bama or Bamsy but her real name is Cristine. She studies at USM.

with my bff Joan

Jo-an is also a student nurse like me. She's also graduating in March and we hope to pass the board exam together. Every time I'm blue I always count on her.

jan2

Jan2 is my closest male friend. I easily get mad but when he's around he just laugh at me teasing me that I'm acting like an aged woman. In this pic he's peeling the papaya I brought. I just really love anything that can be dipped in vinegar.

samuel and benz

      Samuel wants to become a police so he's now taking up BS Criminology. They have buy and sell business so I asked him to be in charged with our service for the reunion. Good that he agreed. He's really the kind of person that you can rely on. I don't know much about Benz. My class mate told me that he's experiencing a great challenge tnow but despite it he's still showing a strong personality. Hope he's always doing well.

           Originally, we planned to hold the reunion on December 25 since Jennica, our classmate who studies in Davao City has to come back on Dec. 26 for her on the job training but during the meeting I realized that lots of our batch mates will have their family reunions in 25 so their schedule is in conflict. I was really so stressed at that time because I do not know how to settle it. I wait till evening of the fireworks display when some of my classmates who were not able to attend the afternoon meeting could help me solve the problems with the schedule. More are not available on 26 so we just decided to pursue the reunion on 25 even some batch mates wouldn’t make it. As a result fewer were able to come compared to our previous reunion. Nonetheless, they understood the situation and promised to just attend the next reunion.

             High school friends are really worth to cherish. We usually share our most naughty moments with them. Most happy moments are experienced in high school. No pressure, no fear, no doubt just fun and adventure. Plus high school friends are only blocks away from home compared to college friends so they’re really easier to reach out. I can never say that my high school friends are better than my college friends because they are different people. My experience with my high school friends are a lot far from my college friends. Maybe it’s just more fun to remember high school memories because in there, our first crush, first love and sometimes first heartache suddenly sprout making the years more exciting.

           Hope you also had a wonderful high school years!!! :) #
