After so many change of plans and attempts to reschedule, the high school get together actually happened. Thank God.
Okay. So here's why I thought the get together was not going to happen.
1. The initial plan was to visit the ecopark, have a picnic, go hiking or biking perhaps, boating, fishing, see the butterfly garden, enjoy a breath of fresh air, talk non-stop, reminisce, and laugh like there's no tomorrow.
2. With less than a week before the get together, only four people responded to the invites.. (Me and Shar included!) So technically, that's two people. Most friends have gone MIA.
3. Three days before the event, Jen decided she can't go. Then added that she will still be able to ONLY if we change the location to somewhere within Cavite.
4. I suggested the Paradizoo which is somewhat similar to the ecopark. We can still have a picnic, go hiking, see a butterfly garden, a vegetable and a flower farm, we can now feed farm animals, enjoy a breath of fresh air, talk non-stop, reminisce, and laugh like there's no tomorrow.

5. With less than two days, Carlo suggested we have a lasagna party c/o Jen, then we hit the movie house to see Kung fu Panda.
6. Ookkaay. So that means after days of planning and preparation there will be NO picnic, NO hiking, NO gardens, NO breath of fresh air.
Then again, we'll still be able to talk non-stop, reminisce, and laugh like there's no tomorrow. It's my friends I want to see, not the farm animals and the gardens. No harm done.
7. Saturday night, with less than 24 hours, I asked Carlo where the meeting place will be. Guess what? He said, 'Russell's place. 11.30 am.' Whaaat?! No Kung fu Panda?!6. Ookkaay.

8. If I didn't catch Carlo on YM I would have gone to the mall waiting for people who obviously won't show up. So that left me as the get-together-planner-who-ended-up-being-on-the-wrong-place-because-she-wasn't-informed. Great.
So on June 15, 2008 the get together with high school friends actually happened! :) It was a lasagna party and DVD marathon at Russell's place. Jen was apologetic, it turned out that she didn't know my new cellphone number and had no idea that I didn't get her message.
I was soooo glad to see my friends again. We told each other stories from high school for the nine hundredth time yet we still laughed about it like we just heard it for the first time. We talked about life, college, internship and for some of us, a new challenge: Job Hunting!

With them, a movie marathon involves only ONE movie, a lot of reminscing, dozens of silly antics and countless stories to tell. So who cares if it's the ecopark or simply a lasagna party at home? Wherever it is or whaterver we do, we'd rather be together. :)
