After five years..

.. and we're reunited and it feels so good :)

Wow! FIVE years, huh! Look how fast time flies by and now a lot of things happened to my classmates in senior high school. Although not all of the Rizalian's are present but almost 30% attended and I am really happy to have met them again. Kinda few attended without Ms. Baya yet it's a good start. I am sure once some of my classmates see these pictures on FB they'll be jealous and remorseful not being able to attend the gathering. Haha! 

Hmn..It's like refreshing those good old times with these lovely people. Totally lots of things changed within a span of five years. Some of my classmates are already married, successful in their careers, some have kids, others stayed single and others are in a happy relationship with the other fellow classmate whom you never thought would end with up with each other five years ago. Lots of things have surprised me in a good way for just five years. What else will happen the next five years? What lies ahead of my immediate future? Will I still be alive the next time we will gather again? Hehe. If not, I hope these people will have a good life and remain in their hearts the love God has endowed us with and may they learn to love, respect, forgive and forget. I am saying this not because it is Christmas time but to do these acts everyday not to ones they know but also to express this love to strangers too. Life is short and we are all ephemeral creatures God created so might as well make use of our time living and loving the people around us :)

Anyway, this was actually a spontaneous gathering with my fellow classmates in fact we were supposed to meet earlier this year but prolly because of work and other matters we decided to meet on December since it's going to be holidays and we'll be having more time to celebrate without the hassle and bustle of work and school. So to iron things up, we had a prior meeting with them guys at Dunkin Donuts and then we hit it up and celebrated the reunion at Dela Mar Spring Pool. 

So here are some of the pics taken by my classmate Marky & Ray. Check it out!

After swimming, eating, chatting and updating what's new in each of our lives we then went to the Carnival commuting via jeepney minutes after we arrived at Pryce, Tubod. We saw various Christmas decorations, band competitions and other colorful displays in celebration of Christmas in Iligan. Here are some pictures played with colorful shots taken by Marky:

And then finally we took a chance and dared on try a few rides at the carnival and the a.k.a. "hammock" was a hellova dizzy ride. I was kinda about to throw up after the crazy ride we had but I was controlling myself not to mess up. LOL! You may think I am okay in the picture but I am so not feeling well after that. I promised to myself never again will I take that ride. :D

On a caterpillar ride before trying out the "hammock ride" for the first time not knowing the dire consequence in the end. Hahaha. If I haven't controlled myself I would have puked and everyone's gonna have a special facial mask ahora mismo. Haha :D

It was really fun having been able to meet my classmates after five years alone and what more if another five years shall be added? What changes will happen? Will I face them as a lawyer soon? Will I face them with someone special with me on our next gathering? Will I get married and have kids? Will I still be alive? Well, what may lie ahead is yet unknown but I am overwhelmed to be able to join the celebration. I hope next time around some of my other classmates will be able to attend too. I am pretty sure it'll be great especially with Ma'am Baya our adviser. Until then, see yah guys soon :)
