As the song goes… “the party’s over”…or, like a common cliché…”now that the dust has settled”…we all reflect on those very few days shared last May, 2012.
We had fun, exchanged warm hugs, did a lot of teasing and continued to remind each other re “quirks” and nuances while teens in our high school years at dear olde Baguio City High. Some had vivid memories while others chose to forget.
Thank you to all who made every extra effort (time, energy, monies and affection) to attend and stay for the whole occasion. Thank you to the lovely partners or spouses that supported our communal desire to want to be together after all those years. Each of us travelled a journey (Un cammino) of 50 years after our graduation in 1962. These stories we shared, it gave us reason to build deeper bonds.
In time, we may meet again or maybe never but please treasure those moments. Like Renato’s souvenir pen says, …”Keep In Touch”, or as Galicano recently wrote a comment on the blog, …”Thanks for the memories”. I am sure Aurora will, for a while, keep our class blog filled with animated/poetic edits and lovely photographs. Cherish the souvenir album you just received and go back to opening those pages often.
What’s next? As the years roll in, please contribute to the class blog with photos and stories. Let us try to meet again at the next BCHSIAA triennial reunion scheduled for August, 2014 in California, USA. Or, we can also plan a 60th (Diamond) reunion in Baguio for 2022 – December or May??? as suggested by Angelica who missed May, 2012.
To the hardy, cheerful “39” 2012 Golden Jubilarians – Dakel nga pasalamat kada kayo amin, kakabsat. Our regrets to those who did not join us but you were definitely missed. Stay healthy and young always!!!!
