10 years after

4A xavier university high school ateneo de cagayan batch 1997


as captioned above, that is a photo form my 3rd eldest brother's 10th year high school reunion.
i was wasting my time, as always and i came across this photo on my bro's friendster profile.
so it inspired me to write this..
they were still an all boys school then so basically, all of them (in the photo) are males. im not so sure though if he was the brother of mine who had a high school batchmate who went to their reunion completely unrecognized because he was already a "she". ten years after high school and the he became a she. (weng, so i guess you can do it too??)

so i was wondering about how it would be when its already my batch's turn for the reunion. its been two years since we've left the 4 walls of our beloved high school alma mater. a lot has changed. people changed. the school pretty much changed too. the last time i went there was summer last year and being back there was like walking down memory lane and all that drama. but it also felt like it also didn't want me there. like it was asking me why i was there. like i was an alien or something. 4 years of making it my second home and that's what i felt when i visited it after only a year of being away.
i guess it was its way of telling me that i had to move on. high school held so many precious memories for me that its really hard to let it go. actually, im not planning to ever let it go. but i still have to move on.

8 more years till we all gather together again as a class. i mean we have all these mini-reunions but the 10th year reunion is something that's kinda required of us as alumni of the school. so its gonna be a school thing again.
i wonder how it would feel like?
i wonder how everyone would look like?
(the underlying question being how will weng look like?)
i wonder how we'll be able to organize it?
i have a whole lot more of " i wonder"s and its gonna take me another 8 years to answer it.

i sooo miss high school and the people ive shared it with but looking back and seeing now ill ever be able to go back there at all.. not even for one pretentious bit because the people ive shared it with have all changed now. we can't act like our high school selves anymore. they have all matured a bit and everytime i think about that it makes me feel how high school's already such a distant memory.

but then again its not such a sad thought. Those high school memories will always be treasured and then we have 8 years and the rest of our lives to create new ones.
