seein' old friends and more

One month passed and finally the reunion.
On Thursday night, April 20, I went to Coco Cabana in Makati to meet some old friends from Grade School. There's Roy, Lord Rhian, Jen, Xty, Tina and Joe. Except for Roy and Xty, the last time I saw the rest, if Im not mistaken is 10 or so years ago. It was nice meeting them all over again especially with so much laughter. We spent most of the evening talking, catching up, taking pictures and talking about what our other classmates are doing these days.
What is really nice about seeing old friends is seeing them again. You share a common history. You can laugh about things you did together or with other people you knew. And, you can also, in a way, see that you're not alone. At that instant, I somehow wish I could bring back the good old days we had back then. But it somehow dawned upon me that it was a chapter of our lives which we could never bring back to enjoy. What has passed will never be the same again, even if we did meet up for a reunion. What remains are just vivid memories of the past. Things have changed, we have grown up.
Ang saya ng gabing 'yun! Life doesn't get any better than this. We wrapped up the night with our plan to meet up again soon.
The most beautiful discovery true friends make
is that they can grow separately
without growing apart.
Elizabeth Foley
Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art...
It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things
that give value to survival.
C.S. Lewis
Don't be dismayed at goodbyes.
A farewell is necessary before you can meet again.
And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes
is certain for those who are friends.
