Happy Meal
I received an invitation yesterday for our high school reunion come Oct.29th. It would be our 2nd Grand Alumni Homecoming since the first one back in 2000, I think.
The invite was just in a piece of bond paper. Folded. Stapled. My name, as well as my brothers' in their invitations, was personalized since it's handwritten. The program would start at 3 in the afternoon. If I go, I would have to shed 500 bucks since it is/was stated in our alumni handbook's rules and regulations that every alumnus shall pay P100 each year for being a member. That is really fine with me. The money from the association usually goes to the students/alumni who need financial assistance in their education, etc.
I like the invitation from the previous homecoming, though. More formal. Placed in an envelope. The event was well-attended. Plus the planning and the program were properly handled.
I hope this year would also turn out well and memorable. I think not everybody are well-informed. But it's not too late. The organizers still have a little less than two weeks to go. Unfortunately, I couldn't and wouldn't come. One reason is that I already signed a paper of commitment to my work which stated that I would be attending to my responsibilities during the long holiday. I think Oct. 29 is part of the time period which I could not make a leave from work. Two is I am not really interested in coming. I think the first one would be the most memorable alumni homecoming for the reason that it is/was the first. And I am glad that I was a part of it.
I could still remember how I look like that day. Baduy. Wearing sandals with socks on was in, then. My sandals was bright yellow. I was wearing a grey shirt and faded blue jeans. I was also wearing socks. Visions. Haha! I was second year college and the least that I cared for was my own kind of fashion.
I think I am not that anticipating and anxious to see my classmates and some friends in high school. I know some of them are already married. Some are working. Others still in school. I would not want to think that there's a handful of jobseekers. I know my school produces and educates quality and responsible kids. :D
Just wondering if my two brothers are attending. Hmm. Perhaps my younger brother since he was a bit popular being a former dance club member. Also my youngest one since he was part of the choir. Hmm again. I was not popular at all.
Anyway, I hope everyone who would find time to attend enjoys the event. I also hope old bonds would be strengthened once again. And I hope that it doesn't rain. It's a good news that the organization is still active.
Cheers to the icon spirit!
