I must admit, I am really obssessed with Sako Batch reunion. I "invite" myself even if I know I wouldn´t get any chance of attending any grand feast of the batch. But finally, after some loooong years of hoping I would drop by to be on the occasion, I had a little moment spent on the Sako reunion last December 28, 2013 at Jack and Cel resort.
I couldn´t really contain my happiness seeing some of the old acquaintances. I know, I get to talk to a few avid friends online, but it was really different feeling saying hello to Ka-Sako friends and hug them. As what we used to call them in HS, "boys and girls"…. most of us have really grown. Really adults. There were times it might seemed a little bit awkward--- maybe because it turned many years after we could bring up a conversation or so. Or maybe, some didn´t come on the same class, they didn´t manage to build up a little- something- to- talk- about- just- like- the- old- times. But whatever, just by "seeing them again" would cover it. I was already more than happy.
I´ve got a few biases inside me though but those weren´t important anymore. I was just glad I get to meet some long lost friends. Well, I knew one person there whom I wanted to hug, but he was really afraid of a skin-to-skin encounter that his girlfriend would kill him. Aha! I was thinking, I could have given him a stolen kiss instead, would that kill him at once? Haha! I felt bad I haven´t spent so much time and enjoyed the whole party, for some reasons. But really, we had GOOOODDDD FOOOOODDDDD and company. I met a few of my bff´s though sooooo limited time to talk.
But looking at the pictures during the dinner, Sako friends really had a good, quality time during the reunion. It was very cozy, casual, laid-back, no pressure, just hanging-out. I think I liked it that way.
We can be whoever we are. I can be wearing slippers and not being critizised where in the world I came from. I still respect indifferences, though. I know that most of us have gone to different directions, but it didn´t mean somebody is on top of another. I believe, everybody is equal. In some class gatherings where people looked at each other from head to toe--- it didn´t seem comfortable. But what really does reunion mean? Anyway, I get really sentimental writing about Sako. I am always vulnerable about Batch 96 because this is the group where I felt I really belong… and still. I really hope that Ka-Sako will be more open, more friendly to others and move on as adults. I always say, we´re not High School students anymore--- we are all people with sentiments.
