High School Acquaintances Reunited

Today is one of the get together bonding of some of my high school classmates here in Nature’s Discovery Camp, Tagaytay City. The temperature here is around 20 degrees Celsius feels like you’re in Baguio City. I now am starting to have a cold. It’s a nice place to hold a bonfire experience just like camping. I am happy and sad for some of my classmates didn’t even bother to make a one day sacrifice just to be within this kind of celebration. There are different reasons why they didn’t make it here; one would be out of budget. The other might be because of attending to their personal needs (i.e. boyfriend/girlfriend or career). Some quite complicated though. But even there are reasons why some didn’t make it still the event happened. Some of my classmates have already found their special someone and some still remains to be SINGLE at all (that includes ME). Funny though but there is a right time for love to come.

I can say that after so many years of not seeing each other, life did really change. As a matter of fact, some have their own fate – career, love life, and even hobbies. They are more mature now and of course full of experience. Experience makes a person neither strong nor open minded to the things around him. But what’s happier with this occasion is the bonding and stories that each of the participants imparts upon to. No matter what the distance might be still the memories lives on. We can’t bring back the past especially those happy thoughts but we can add another memory in the story of our lives.

This is my first time to attend a get together and I’m happy for it. Though, money isn’t good at this moment (not to mention no work) still I am proud for I can say – “Yes, I did make it! I did see them.” Money isn’t that important (just a little...hahaha) as long as you can see each and everyone’s laughter and hear their stories. You can witness the happiness from their faces and of course those characteristics that you once new way back high school life. You can see how they change – looks, body built-in and most of all the impressions you once got for a person. You now can tell that they are still the person whom became a part of your sanity. You can now tell who’s the one whom you can depend unto and the one whom would leave you hanging in the air. Memories are always there and will keep on growing as time goes by but wherever we might be it will remain a memory that lasts a lifetime.

I admit I sense some jealousy creeping into me when I see them already happy with their career and with of course their personal lives. I can’t help it though but I believe there is enough time for each person. It might be their time and not mine yet. Still, hoping is what matters most. I know that time will come when I could be lucky just like them too. Lucky in everything – personal life, career, and who knows even having someone whom would care enough for me till the end. The one whom I could call as “mine” and whom would stay by my side. Who knows that person is just around.

But the merriment must go on. And this is the time for each and everyone to add another memory in their book of journey in this beautiful place called Earth.
