Nostalgia...

After spending my days last week in Baguio City and went home on the week end (last Saturday) I found on my table a letter from the Steering Committee of the 2007 Alumni Mega Homecoming for all Catholic schools in Kalinga and Apayao provinces. It will be a grand affair indeed!

I am quoting the invitation letter below for you to read wherever you are for you might not be able to receive one. Though last June I began sending an information-cum-invitation through emails about the activity.

It is nice to have such kind of once in a blue moon activity, simply put a class reunion, where we have the opportunity to meet our classmates during our high school or college days and refresh our memories with the school life we shared and we left off en masse by the click of time, the things we did, the sonorous occasions we enjoyed, the good works and foolishness we shared, and the values if at all we cherished.

Now there is only one question I ask ... WILL YOU BE THERE?
