Old Friends

There's something about despedidas that make me feel warm inside. Well, for one thing, I got to meet up with all my high school buddies again (well, aside from playing basketball with them once in a while... but then again, it's been quite a while since I last played...).

The despedida was for my former classmate John Garcia. As to what I've heard, he's bound for the United States of America to live-in with his girlfriend, thanks to the request of the girl's parents.

There were more than fifty guests (I guess); half of them were half of my high school class (it's one big barkada). There's lots of alcohol (I took sake, a Japanese rice wine), lots of food (since they cooked too many chickens, I managed to eat two whole ones and take home another two!), and lots of talk.

It's pretty cool what months apart can do. For instance, when I walked in, one of my former classmates walked up to me and said to the entire group, "Dyan muna kayo! Akin na muna si Johnny!" I also managed to find out that one of them also had a BMW M3 displayed at the previous Trans Sport Show. I also found out that my best buddy is starting to feel at home with his work.

I don't know if I miss high school or if I'm just touched or if I had a great time (especially that long debate... made me laugh a lot... they're good, but funny too!). But in case something like it happens sometime sooner or later, I want to be there.
