a gathering...

recently, my mom had a gathering with her old friends from high school and maybe primary school *i think* cause she didn't say much to us... i knew she had the gathering dinner when she asked me to help her to email the pictures to them@@ great huh?! and an old friend of hers who came to my house and realized that she is also staying in BU area... for years too@@ what an co-incident!

after 30 years (nearly) of not contacting and seeing each other... can you imgine? the shock and excitement that bring when the moment you see each other after such a loooooonng period?

friends that you were hanging out with; skipping classes together; doing silly things; getting caught by teachers; meeting your secret crushes or your puppy lovers; it could be thrilling and at the same time exciting right?

firstly, the physical changes that everyone had. guys from 6 pack to all-in-one. girls from young looks to mother looks. then, the attitudes that they were having during school time. those that were very naughty and irresponsible are having a very lovely family which could make you drop jaw. the girls turned women are too having cute kids *eventhough maybe grown up dee, but still* the way they all talk are now more into family matters if married. if has not, then it would work matters.

lastly, the closeness among them. from the way my mom chat with the friend that who came my house, i could sense that they are still having a certain degree of closeness between them. well, not those the close-close kind but not the awkward kind too. they can talk like normal friends, sharing stories about family and life. it was quite uneasy for me to kind of listen to their conversation as i was helping my brother with his school stuff. I was not listening to them, but the living room is just that big, so i still could hear some :p

and that was the time when i was thinking, how are my friends going to look like after 30 years? they would definately different from now. *i want cute babies haha!* and i was just curious how many of us are able to meet up in the future? regardless of the closeness of each friends. or i shall say, willing to take up the excitement to meet the old friends?

because sometimes, i mean even now, maybe only once in a year thing, they like to make sure the gathering will have someone they are familiar with, which i too understand their feelings but, the problem is, why don't make the gathering as a new start of friendship. that might make the gathering a surprise for you because you don't go for a dinner for the sake of meeting only the same old persons right? you join the dinner because the organizer made the efford to gather them. you might meet the same people all the time and that could be the time you can deeper the friendship with the others which you were not close with. you never know that he/she could be your new good friends.

okay, i shall stop crapping. i don't think i have the right to comment that much as i did not organize a meet up ages. haiz. the common reason to use? BUSY.


ps: am anticipating the NS meet up for this coming sunday! :) miss their faces and voices. and most importantly the warmly and tightly hugs (^-^) *i love hugssss* hopefully the closeness among us is still there because we did not meet ever since 2 years back. and try to get some pics taken and share with you guys!
