Like what I have said in my previous post, some of my college friends and I met up last September 23, 2008. It was funny because like what Cez said, it has been seven years since we've seen each other. I couldn't believe it's been that long. But it was nice because we picked up things as if it was just last month.
I think we were eleven in the group. Let me see, that's me, Cez, Che, Monti, Lean, Carlo, Rhine, Razel, Eric, Marvin -- nah, make that ten. We ended up being together because of several group projects which had to be done simultaneously. That and our organization as well.
It would have been nice if I could post our old pictures and compare it with how we look right now. Some of the skinny ones before are now on the chubby side, some who were chubby before added even more weight, some lost a few pounds, but mostly everyone looked almost the same.
Eric and Marvin weren't able to make it while Razel made it while we went out for coffee. We spent the night singing our hearts out at Kamarada and hung out at Starbucks afterwards. It was nice to have seen everyone again and we were kidding ourselves that hopefully the next reunion will happen sooner and not count another seven years again. Maybe next time we'd all find the time to visit Monti and his family who is already living in Singapore. That would be nice.
The thing about reunions is that you get to relive the good old days and remember how simple life was back then. It's also a very good way of rekindling friendships and assuring one another that we still have each other inspite of the distance. Until the next one guys, best of luck to everyone!

We were nine in the group namely Doll, Glenda, Pat, Donna, Len, Ivy, Tina, Janet, and me. Pero nung nag-start na yung next school year nadagdagan kami ng two boys namely Raymond and Darryl. But over the years the bonding was mostly among the girls.
During our first year in college, we belonged to different cliques. Glenda, Ivy and I belonged to a group called Onse consisting of 5 girls and 6 boys. Doll and Len were partners in crime during the first semester of the school year tapos nadagdag sa kanila si Pat when the second semester came. Sila Tina and Donna naman ang partners in crime whom we met nung nag-second semester. Janet was a stand alone, not belonging to any particular group but were friends with almost all of us.
Being with them was like reminiscing those wonderful college years - full of fond memories, funny moments and sad experiences. Hindi kami matapos sa kakatawa sa mga kababawan naming. Yung mga tantrums kapag gutom, petty quarrels because of photocopied notes, Enchanted Kingdom secret….haay..sobrang dami.
The greatest thing about our friendship is that we know it’s gonna go for the books. It’ll be shared until our gray-haired days, our kids being friends with each other, sharing reunions probably… 12 years together and counting…I thank God for every remembrance of them.
