My high school memories are divided into two different settings because from kindergarten to 1^st year high, I was attending St. Peter for school but 2^nd year high up to graduating secondary school, my tenure was at PIQC.  Great thing about is, I’m blessed with two sets of wonderful friends.  My childhood friends/barkada from St. Peter or SPAS know me since my drooling, first crushes, little fangs years.  On the other hand, my forming years (otherwise known as rebel years) during my teens were spent with PIQC friends.

August 20, 2010 –Bubba and I were the first ones to knock on Sarah’s door and welcomed into their beautiful home.  Elwood was busy prepping up the dishes behind their well-lit white counter/bar.  The lovely home used space to their advantage by making every area or corner functional.  The lower floor has contemporary minimalist style with posh accent pieces where mirrors are strategically placed to create an illusion of expanded space.

One by one, our friends whom we’ve shared memories of long exams, dance programs, personality teachers, and the complexities of teen-hood arrived.

I forget (because I seriously forget what this was)

Ruckus laughter echoed in the whole house as we continued to talk and talk and talk.  Mickey, Mary and Shierley took the reign of the catch-up updating us with little anecdotes of this and that *wink wink* that made us go, “ha? What? Err..” then ensuing laughter.  Before we knew it, it was already almost 230am.

Seeing all of them transported me back to the carefree high school days.  Sarah Mei, Mickey, Mary, Karen, Anna, Shierly, Jaehanne, Ezra, Cokee, Terri, Grace, Anne, and Mark and some of their respective partners comprised the reunion group that evening.

I was so happy to share that night with my PIQC best friends –those who know me best since HS and have etched a place in my heart: Mark, Ezra, Grace, Anne… (If only Sean was here, it will be complete.  Hello there in Hong Kong!)  Ezra, Mark, Grace, Sean and Anne are the ones who have seen me at my best and ugliest… and have loved me nonetheless.

My feet were on its way out the door but I couldn’t leave… my heart wanted to stay longer but I knew that we had to wrap up somehow.  What I took home was another memory to keep with my PIQC HS friends… along with so many old remarkable memories.
