The Man from Manila and a St. Scho Reunion
People in the Philippines are probably sick of the topic already, but Francis Magalona died last Friday at age 44. As always, whenever I hear of some celebrity deaths, it took me some time to grasp the news. As a little four-year-old girl, I wanted to get his first album, Yo!, because I liked his song Mga Kababayan Ko (My Fellow Countrymen). I loved singing and jumping to the chorus, but at the same time I also understood what he was trying to say, even at such a young age: love your country, be proud of being Filipino. I'm sure Francis M. won't be easily forgotten because of his music and its message.
On other news, my tummy is getting big. XD; I'm not really surprised given how much I've been eating, but it's kind of alarming. I just don't want to blow up to how I was before, you know? That was just awful and of course I don't want to starve myself again, either. That would just make me sick again and I am SICK of being sick. I just really need to find a balance for me. As it said in that article I read over at Yahoo! a week or so back, I need to find my "happy" weight, whatever that is. Remembering the fact that I bought so many new pants should help with maintaining my weight. I want to fit into all of them for as long as possible! >_<;;
For some reason yesterday, I thought of school reunions. It's almost been ten years since my grade school graduation and about five since my high school one. I guess I'm just missing my old pre-La Salle Alma Mater. Is anyone from our batch going to organize a reunion? Last February 10, there was a reunion over at St. Scho but no one called me to go. I only found out because I saw the tarp when I passed by Vito Cruz. Does anyone else want a reunion? It's just a thought, really. I just think it'd be awesome to see how everybody's been doing. Is anyone living the life they have dreamed of after stepping past those cream and red walls? Of course I'm also intrigued with those who have babies and stuff now. Who isn't? XD;
It all just makes me think though. Since so many years have passed, have we all matured? Have we transcended labeling and cliques, which were both so common back then? When people see me, would they still think in terms of "anime freak"? "Feeling"? "Weirdo"? Or whatever label I managed to acquire back then? Would we still remain within our groups when we see each other and not mingle at all? Time and a reunion would tell.
So if anyone were to organize a reunion for our batch, contact me, will you? I definitely won't miss it, unless life decides to be unfair. It would definitely be an event to witness, I'm sure. I foresee much embarrassing nostalgia if it were to happen, but I don't think I'd mind much. At least it's just one day/night and not 10 million years.
