Reuniting with Old Friends

Good friends make life so much better! Who doesn't agree on this adage? I could never forget how I enjoyed my years of studies with some good friends. Now that I am already  in this teaching profession, I am also enjoying the company of friends, because of them, work is less-stressful, lots of funny moments and gimmicks to unwind from very tough weekdays. This year, one of my resolutions is to reunite with my old friends, college friends and former colleagues that has become close to me. I promise myself that I will attend or initiate reunions or get-together with my old pals this year. 

Just last January 19, I was so glad to be reunited with my college friends from Valenzuela City Polytechnic College. After more than six years, it was just amazing to be with them again... endless chatting, reminiscing, and fooling around with each other again...LOL! After eating our dinner sponsored by our two classmates (Ate She and Joel). We went to Roots and Herbs for coffee and there the never-ending chatting continues. 

[Sigh] How time flies so fast. Well, I hope it will not be our last reunion. Actually, I did a pledge to sponsor another get-together this November.

Also, last January 25, I attended a friendly date we set, together with Melissa and Julie. They are my beloved former co-teachers and pals from St. Bernadette College of Valenzuela. We just missed each other so much that during our conversations in Facebook, we immediately decided to set a get-together. Ever since Karaoke singing was our favorite bonding, so we went to Karaoke Hub in SM Valenzuela and stayed there for hours of non-stop live singing... as if we were concert performers! :D

Friends inspire us to live and follow our dreams. Aside from our family, friends are the souls whom we can share our triumphs and defeats. I really can't imagine a life without them.
