The demise of a former president had to happen for us to find the time to actually meet up and hang out again.
Okay, that's being OA.
Actually, it is John who should be thanked for doing a text brigade for us to have a get-together. We've been planning to meet up for the longest time to celebrate Ella's and Tey's birthday, as well as Trengie's, oh and also Mel's, but we were all just so busy with work and all.
But last weekend, all the forces of the universe seem to have conspired for our get-together to push through. Hehe! So despite the typhoon and despite the sad news of the passing away of PCCA, the afternoon meriendacena with Tey, Ella the wife, Gino, John and Ella the girlfriend finally took place. Unfortunately, Tsin wasn't able to go. Her hubby and one of the kids were sick and needed her TLC. So did Mel, who just messaged us that she was already at LSGH waiting for PCCA. We didn't catch Trengie online either.
Still, it turned out to be a really fun and nice afternoon tambay. It was our first time to meet Ella the girlfriend. She's really nice and cute, and I love her job!!! Haha! And then it was great catching up with the rest of the gang. Ella and Gino are both doing well - really well - with their careers, so that's great. John's career is also great, but he and I share some the same thoughts on certain things. Haha! Tey and I see each other everyday at work.
Everyone brought food. Ella and Gino prepared puto pao, siomai and buco pandan from Nathaniel's. They also ordered pizza from Napoli. John and Ella brought ensaymada and ice cream. Tey and I ordered the really, really delicious apple turon from Cow King (P40 for three pieces.... super sulit na, right?!).
The hours passed by with us just talking about the death of PCCA, fraternities, fights, careers, chismax on our classmates, and so on. Hehe!
It's always great to see classmates from college. Before, I still got to hang out with Kendi, Leah, Eden and Charmy quite regularly and that was good. But then Eden left the country. Charmy left the country. And most recently, Kendi left the country. Leah is in Manila, but we hardly see each other. Thank heavens and Mark Zuckerberg for Facebook! I found my classmates again. Haha!
Most people say that high school was the best years of their lives. Not for me. For me, it is college. So much of who I am now is a result of the experiences I've had and the people I met during those four years in Padre Faura.
Anyway, really great weekend afternoon.
