The plan started when mom-to-be Ja called out a get together on Facebook. I contacted Ces and Peluch right away to get the ball rolling. A get-together was long overdue so we set the date eventually and finally after 4 (or 5?) years we saw each other again.
As soon as Ja entered Crustasia the talking began. There was so much to discuss about the past years, we were filled with stories to the brim. When Ces arrived there was yet more talking and eating. It was so exciting to see Ja, still sexy even with her baby belly; and Ces, even if I saw her a couple days ago over Indian food (;p). We had to fill each other in on what's been happening in our lives that our conversation just took turns and leaps from one subject to another. People had come and gone, the buffet almost cleared out, and still we were there, laughing the night away.
As if we didn't have enough food, we headed to Conti's. I wanted the girls (and Baby Alfonso) to try the turtle pie but since it was unavailable, we had slices of sansrival, cheesecake, and choco overload with cups of coffee. Peluchi was right on time for dessert after her spa day and more talking ensued. It was so much fun looking back on old memories, wondering where old classmates went, and sharing stories about almost anything we thought was worth knowing about.
We thought that the night was over when Ja dropped us off along EDSA-Quezon Avenue. We thought wrong. A very 'engaging' conversation extended our supposed drop-off time from a few seconds to about thirty minutes and has provided Ja inspiration for our next meet-up. I dare not say where she plans to take everybody. Plans were loosely made, then it was kisses and goodbyes.
It feels wonderful to know that everyone in our small batch of 2nd sem 2004 graduates has his/her own place in the sun. Wherever we may go, whatever we do, I'd like to believe we shine just as brightly as we were meant to.
