class reunions

today was quite meaningful. for about 5 hours, my high school section had a class reunion. it was an enjoyable experience exchanging our own school experiences, our own lives and just about everything. kanina, i was talking to my classmates and i realized how much i missed being in high school (the uniform, the classmates, the teachers coming in and going out of your own classroom, your own seat and desk, everything about high school).

nakakatawa lang talaga ang mga dating hiritan nandoon pa rin pero siyempre ngayon mas sport na kasi medyo matured na. kwentuhan lang talaga kanina tungkol sa mga buhay-buhay. masaya siya. nakita ko ang halaga ng mga high school friends na kahit mayroon ka nang ibang buhay na hindi na katulad ng mga kaklase mo, kung magkita-kita kayo, malapit pa rin kayo. marami na kasing pinagdaanan as a class.

i wished there were more of this kind of reunion. salamat and congratulations sa nag-organize. galing.

to my high school classmates,

thanks for a wonderful evening. you reminded me of something important - a high school life. when i was sitting a while ago and listening to your stories, all of you reminded me of a high school that was filled with laughter, trials and triumphs. all of you reminded me that i was, once, part of the best section in the history of xavier (of course, some, especially teachers and admin would think otherwise). all my experiences in our section, section c, have somewhat molded me into the person i am now. thanks again, especially to those who attended the reunion.

probably this night will be forgotten but i'm sure i will never forget all four years spent in the class that i've learned to love.

ang saya niyo pa ring kasama at walang kupas pa rin kayong lahat. sana nga pagdating ng panahong matatanda na tayo, magkikita-kita pa rin tayo sa isang parehong setting at magbabalik-tanaw sa masayang high school.

thank you all. congratulations to hub. God bless everyone.

a while ago, before i went home, i passed by the church of the gesu because i wanted to pray and reflect. i knew that there was a concert and that i would like the beautiful music to be the background of my reflection. i ended up staying and completing the whole concert, for free. the effect was similar to last night's. there was this overwhelming movement of the spirit incorporated in every song sung by the choir. wow! yun lang ang aking masasabi. singing is, indeed, a beautiful form of prayer and i think it is much more effective and the presence and the movement of the spirit can really be felt through it.

gud night Lord.
