25 Years after High School

Last night, I spent an evening with batch mates from High School making the final plans for the Alumni Homecoming of our school where we would be celebrating our Silver Jubilee. Opportunities such as these mini reunions is really quite a good exercises to remind ourselves of how and what we were when we were younger and a bit more stupid as we are today.

Of course, it was a relatively small group and we are really hoping that the turn out on Saturday will be a lot from our batch. My hats off to the people who really worked their asses off to make this Saturday homecoming a success… well, whatever happens, we will get through this anyway.

It is just sad that some of our more prominent batch mates were “no show” for the longest time and I did mention that they may have their reasons… whatever it may be. And I guess that that’s that.
As one of my buddy once said;

“ang taong hindi lumingon sa pinanggalingan,… ay sa simbahan pa rin ang tuloy!”

So the issue over a batch mate who refuses to answer calls, or has his calls screened by his wife or whatever should be a no brainer for us. He might just have simply chosen to forget the past and from where he came from. A bit sad I suppose but nevertheless he shouldn’t be judged harshly. As I said, he may have his reasons…
