Ubay National Science High School Batch 2004..
One day, a stranger texted me with all those “Hi and Hello”, and “How are you?”. I did not have load that time (as always..hehe),so I ignored the message but had that saved in my inbox. Few days later, I had a chance to give myself the favor of having a load on the phone,and one dawn that unknown number came in with a message again.I replied this time, asking who the person behind the text message was, and came the reply, “please visit http://www.jim23.net78.net/, it’s still under construction, but be my guest!” That raised my brows, though when I got some time to visit a net shop to view my friendster account,I also had that site surfed. Later have I known who the stranger was…it was my high school friend who is a computer fanatic, and on his final year of Computer Engineering in CVSCAFT.
One text led to another until he requested me to write something for the site he is constructing for the batch. The thought excite me, but at the same time I was perplexed coz I could not find any idea on what to write,or if I may be able to do so with the nature of job I have at present. Will I have the time? What will I write? Yet, I still gave him the assurance that I will (so nice of me!..).
I really do not know what to write, my senseless mind did not work. Then I thought, “Why don’t I write something based on personal view or just anything I could write about, and when a batchmate would be able to read it, he may also write his own perspective?!” And so, here it is!=)
When I was in college and would see any of my friends in high school and we’ll have some time to gather around and chat and reminisce the past, I really am happy and would realize how much I miss high school life. Those years were memorable, with all those laughters and troubles, quarrelsomes and misunderstandings, those activities in the school and the stupidities made inside the classroom, and all those happenings we will just be able to know if somebody shares about it. It’s fun, and it’s extremely wonderful.
Now, what? Where are the other friends now? When we left the portals of Ramon Magsaysay Gymnasium after our graduation rites, we have not seen all other anymore. We went to different places to try our lucks, and enrolled to different schools to finish a college degree. We all parted ways to pursue our ambitions and dreams in life, hoping that someday, at the right time and in the right place, we will see each other again.
It’s already more than four years now. There were gatherings and get-togethers scheduled but I never had the chance to attend any of those. I was just taking time to see my high school barkada and common friends who also made their schooling at the school were I attended to and the other schools within the island. And the others?..I don’t know,..some of them I was able to text with and share nice quotes of friendship and funny jokes, but the others, I did not really have the chance to know their whereabouts.
It’s a good thing that one of our friends initiated the birth of this technologically-capacitated application. I accepted his request of writing this one to be posted on the site, hoping that it will create communication between the batchmates. It was just four years that passed, and I am certain that we still have many years ahead to bring back the friendship and the relationship that somehow had went a-little-dead or inactive because of the distance and time.
I am hoping that this website will do good for the batch. May all the people aware of this site share to those others unaware about the existence of this one. I would encourage “you” to also share your thoughts and ideas, and your own perspectives about this site, and also then share your whereabouts and your current status and existence in this world (hehehe). May we also be able to set then a certain time to spare to each other for a reunion for the batch.
Mabuhay, UNSHS Batch 2004!
