high school reunions

October 13, 2008

 

 

Time passes so quickly that I could hardly believe that my high school reunion is now knocking at my door step. Wow! Images of my mind swiftly comes remembering the good old days, my first love, first kiss, crushes, junior and seniors prom, the parties, and so many things that I have learned from high school days whether good or bad. But for myself, high school life is really the best, from innocence of adolescent, the attraction of the opposite sex, the discovering and awakening. So many beautiful memories that made your life more colorful and worth remembering. As the reunion day comes; I was so happy meeting all my high school classmates, the looks of maturity of their faces cannot be denied, we immense our self talking and reminiscing our high school life while eating and drinking. But somehow we cannot deny the fact that each and everyone are so proud of their achievements and is now one of the most interesting chapters of their book of life sharing it here and there. Sadly, some of those who are not lucky  enough to achieve their ambitions or dreams in life are just listening and smiling. I know some of my classmate did not attend the reunion, maybe because they are less fortunate, due to early marriages and financial difficulties.  To sum it all, the reunion was indeed a great success and  I’m surely looking forward for the next. Till then.

quest for life

My family live in northern part of Mindanao, Philippines, in a remote barrio were my uncles and aunties are staying with us in a two story house. My mom is a plain house wife; my dad was working as a foreman in a gold mine company and so with my uncles.  My aunties are helpers of the house and act as nannies of my brother and sisters and also mending the small groceries store. It was a during Christmas season that everybody was busy preparing for the New year’s grand party  of the company and everybody  was excited, anticipating the chance to meet their crushes, boy friends and friends. However my mom was due to her pregnancy for the 6th child, and her tummy was started aching that was December 30 on the evening, everybody was anticipating for a girl to be born but to their surprise during the dawn of December 31… At around 2:00 in the morning, were everything was calm and silent, I was born with the help of local midwife. My uncles and aunties were dismayed for the reason that my dad order them to stay home, going to the grand party was cancelled. Until now they could never forget what happened.
