SEEING (some, for the first time since graduation day of March 1986) Reginald, Annie, Baday, Risa, Wilfred, Gigi, Jojo B., Rachel, Bong dM, Alvin, Adelaida, Regis, Dante, Joel, Louie, and Nando was a fun, enlightening and heartwarming experience. In as much as things remained the same for most of us who attended, some things, too, have changed (in appearance, in most cases). But that is inevitable, given that it has been, after all, 25 years since our high school graduation.

The infectious sense of humor, support for each other, and enviable bond that was developed since childhood still endures and has once again been proven irreplaceable. Many thanks to Gigi and hubby Bong B. for your graciousness and hospitality. The cameras sure were busy, and photos will soon be uploaded to our YahooGroups and here at our site*.

Thanks to our batchmates’ spouses — their [very] significant others — for lending a hand in documenting this event. To Dante who who kept the airwaves alive; to Alvin and Bong for being good sport to the jokes and taking the punchlines in the spirit of fun, and Louie’s Osang for putting the AVP together. To the wives (and husbands) for sitting out all six hours of togetherness, thank you for sharing us your spouses.

Again, watch out for photos here* and over at our YahooGroups site.

To those who still aren’t in the loop, we are waiting for you to sign up, or leave a comment on our site.
