batch 76 alumni homecoming

thirty five years after our high school graduation, Jose Rizal class 76  had a get together at a plush venue....good food, good time and self-reintroduction....the happy moments were marred by tears as we remember classmates who had departed at most unwanted times realizing that they could have contributed much to the changes that we aspired in those years...remembering all the youthful experiences, from cutting classes to high school crushes had elicited laughter....secrets told...traumatic ones, healthy ones received silence and childish behaviour elicited boisterous guffaws...indeed, you never know a classmate that well until one opens up now more maturely and more accepting...indeed time has healed wounds but vanity remains unchallenged when we all agreed we still look the way we did in high school...hahahaha! then we realized we are all members of a silent organization called the mutual admiration society beyond our own knowledge....
