Reunion

Fourteen years ago, we were bunch of 15-16 year-olds, unclear of what the future has in store for us. Sure, we had dreams and ambitions then but it wasn't until now we can confirm whether these were realized or not, or still remain as elusive dreams. Now we are adults but still has that child's heart. Haha!

We were La Consolacion College - Bacolod High School Batch 94.

The opportunity to gather and to catch up with each other was made possible through the persistence of the organizing committee (you know who you are). The event was held at Bar 21 last December 30, 2008 from 1830H - 0500H of the 31st. Well, some of them stayed until the dawn.

We may be on our 30's but after being in that venue, flashbacks and recollections from each attendees made everyone a decade and a half younger. Yes, we were like high school once again (blame it one batch group pic posted on the wall <-- CLASSIC)! The games brought so much memories, my only qualm was no one was asked to sing A Song of Loyalty nor St. Augustin's theme. But maybe on the next reunion, it will be included. Some of our batchmates that are based abroad, also sent their support, morally and financially. Though everyone preferred the latter. As they say, words can't really describe what happened. And since I was forced (lol) to be a part of the documentation team, here's some random pics of the event.

More or less 40 came. Each section had 60 students then. And our batch had 4 sections, hmm, where are the others? I hope on our 15th year, majority of us will be attending as the organizing committee is planning to invite some of our teachers and other personnel.

And you have a year to memorize this song, including the beat (action) when you lead this song.

LOYALTY SONG

A song of loyalty
We'll try to sing to thee
To the college we love
And though it's hard to say
What's in our hearts today
We shall float our praise above
Though words cannot express
Our actions we'll confess
Our very best we'll give to thee
From our hearts we shall sing, and our praise we'll give
As we honor our school today.

Refrain

O comrades valiant for Alma Mater
Sing her praise to the sky
Her aspirations, her loyal standards
Be forever sung on high
We will pray everyday for her lasting memory
We will hope that the years will bring constant victory
Still singing O lofty tower, of lasting power
We'll give praise forever to thee.

It was nice meeting each one of you again. Until next year.
