Well, for one, it was surprising that I attended. I have just been a silent observer on the exchange of messages on the MES Batch 88's FB group page. Most of its members are still based in Makati and after our Elementary graduation, they practically grew up together. I really didn't firm up as to my attendance on the said reunion, but voila! I was the very first one to arrive. Of course it's off the record that I was a duck-out from another engagement, I intended to leave early but the happenings in the reunion were way to good to pass up. And so I stayed til the wee hours of the night.
Quite frankly, I only had vague memories from my elementary days. So when the nine attendees of the mini reunion were taking the trip down the memory lane, I was trying to recall and have flashbacks on my own.
I did say the mini reunion was full of surprises, right? Well, here are some(I didn't ask for permission so no names will be mentioned):
***The small quiet boy who seldom talked in class is now an entrepreneur with more than a couple of businesses at hand.
***One of the beautiful faces in the batch is now a fully committed wife and mom who came home right away after a phone call from her hubby - I said fully committed because she just lives a couple of blocks away from the venue of the reunion.
***Another beautiful face from the batch did not seem to have aged.
***And this cute little boy who is now a cute little man had a fist-fight with my cousin, hihihi, and I learned about it just now.
***Then there's this guy who didn't change much since elementary days, he was and is still quiet, but what's surprising was that he stayed til the end of the reunion even though he knew that it would drive his wife ballistic.
***Of course there's this good old buddy of mine, who I copied Math answers from,hehe. He was the boy next door type in elementary, and now, he looks like a rock star!
***And who would forget the boy with the sparkling smile in elementary days??? Hmmm...he is still laughing his heart out while seriously helping our country fight car-napping.
***And last but not the least...that boy...that annoying little boy who after many years is no longer little...it was surprising to know he kept a diary, hihihi...
Well...so many things were reminisced and recollected but I'm sure the nine attendees of that very first reunion are aching for more. But then again, who would blame them? Those things that we talked about last night were incontestably fascinating surprises...
