Reunions

My months March and April 2011 were made extra wonderful with  reunions with my high school and college classmates on 2 separate occasions. 


My high school batch celebrated its 20th anniversary last March 26, 2011 on the high school grounds. Since we were that batch who didn't get to experience what it was like to have a Junior-Senior Prom, our 20th anniversary reunion was billed as "Promless", thus, our group or batch is informally referred to "promless" in our page in a social networking site. The year-long preparations paid off on the night of the get together. We had a very successful program, something that couldn't have been achieved if not for the selflessness of the organizers and the generosity of everyone.


Last night, April 2, it was my college batch's turn for a get-together. Compared to my HS reunion, this one was more subdued, mostly made up of dinner, lots of exchange of stories, reminiscing and laughter. 


A realization just came to me this morning after these 2 get-togethers: 
Reunions are there, not just to see some old friends and faces, in my case, it served as a measure stick of how far (or how "un-far") I have become as a person. In a way, what I realized made me feel greathearted for everything that I have gone through. And yeah, made me love and appreciate myself more.
