I Just Opine

MELD company, that was what we agreed to call our barkada in high school. That represents our names, Maria Cristina (Makiss) Macaraig, Melody Algenio, Edna Ilagan, Liccibeth Latayan and Dhina Lieva. We arrived naming it during our last quarter of second year. And now I miss them. If you will ask where they are now, we are currently facing our own lives now, seldom that we see each other. Makiss country hopping presently in France, Melody in Taiwan, Edna in Baguio, Liccy in Los Baños and me in Manila. Me and Makiss remain single and looking (doh ), we are both finding our ways goinr to the status of the other three friends of mine. Melody, Edna and Liccy have kids now, and they have me as the godmother (yes, all of them). I had seen and contact occassionally Makiss, every time she goes home and visits her family, there were times that we meet in BVMQW. Edna - the last time we met was last December 2005, I can’t visit her in Baguio yet, but I have plan to. Melody has just left for Taiwan last December, and just few months before that, six months or more was our last meeting. And this is the most amazing time frame of no meeting - after high school graduation, I only saw Liccy once, and after that, never had a contact just until now. I have never  seen her fo so long, it was only after eleven years that we had a contact, luckily she was able to get my number to one of our classmates Ranil and  texted me. I also have a plan of visiting her in Los Baños (she has three kids already). I wonder how she looks right now? Is she still the Liccy I’ve had before? Hope to see her soon and hope to see them all soon! And it will be fun if the entire class will meet soon. 

Miss you all guys! Looking forward to an extravagant reunion .

till then,

Here came Sunday, time to visit His home. So we went to visit Him, I was with inay and  my cousin Janet. Luckily we were not late, we’re able to arrive on time. As I entered the church of Blessed Virgin Mary Queen of the World, i heard someone called Dhina Lieva, i turned my head backward and saw Makiss (Ma. Cristina Macaraig) sitting there, she is my friend who works as a Chief Stewardess in My Coral Island Yacht. The last time we saw her was year 2007 i think, when we had our night swimming in Tierra De Oro. A little time chat, kumustahan lang. Then as the mass started, I saw my friend Yhsang (MarissaMontecer) sitting at the right wing of the church. This day must be a reunion for us - my high school friends, since we do not see each other for quiet some time. Then, when the mass was about to end, I saw from the right wing also just at the very back where Yhsang sitted, I saw Pidong (Alfred Josef). And then after it had finished, as I approached Makiss, Reynolds (Reynaldo Salmorin) approached the two us, we were looking for some other classmates and friends who were there at the church, we found Idol (yikes, I forgot his first name del Mundo) Hmmmm, I saw five of my friends this Sunday. And tomorrow, Ana Rhodora Grey, my long unseen friend for more than nine years will be visiting ACS or an exam and interview, she applied in the company where I currently work. I’ll see her tomorrow.

Here are some of the pictures we had..

The reason why we spent time that long was because our parochial church was celebrating its 38th year anniversary and the Munting Samabayang Kristyano (MSK) 4th General Assemby. My mother is a catechist and she together with the other CCD haf an intermission number “Sarung Banggi” song. So many intermission numbers that made the audience regaled..

There were dancing and singing contest and we were able to watch nine of the contenders. We were not able to watch them all, kadami eh, and ang sakit na kaya ng ulo ko sa init at ambon…

till next tiring weekend!
