It was all started when i decided to create a group in my Facebook Account, at first i was hesitant to do it because just few of them are my close friends during our high school days.Some,don't even bother me to say hi while walking in our pathway. My eagerness and a little bit excited to see my batch mate for a long time push me to make an account just for our batch.
At first I add my highschool group, we called our "Barkada's" as JBANCE Group until all my batchmate added in our group.My friend and her friends added their high school friends and so on and so forth until it was all disseminated by using the 2 common communication gadgets: internet and mobile phones.
For fast pacing of this story,one of my batch mate (Elvira Eli Olis) give us an idea to have a batch reunion for the first time, without any objection all my batch agreed to do this despite that were lack of time and finances still we pursue it.We scheduled our reunion February 26,2011 but we postponed and make it earlier for the availability of everybody.
Alas! in our 2nd meeting it was decided to confirm the event, its date, venue and day to set it up. Our big event was fall on February 19,2011 Saturday @ 3pm in Garden by the bay formerly Maryknoll Beach Resort.One week ahead of the said event Anie and I prepared all the things we need in our Party,we bought some goodies for the games materials and kitchen utensils for the prizes, but no one knows we have this. I voluntarily donate a tarpaulin so that it would look nicer and there's a warm welcome note to the attendees. All things are set up 1 week before the reunion.
Yes!..Saturday came!..
This is the day were going to meet our batchmate,of course! there's a big question in our mind how is he/she looks like?is my highschool crush there?is she still pretty/handsome?is my former bf/gf will attend?are they married or still single?do they get big or still slim?..these are our few question that most of us think before our reunion. At 3pm our early bird came it is Leo, followed by Lyn,Elvira,Oliver and other batchmate(too long if i will write all your names here guys,you know who you are:) to set up the tables and chairs.Some came bringing foods,drinks and dessert and others bring sound system and a box of gift toys..etc.
We started the program @ 5:30 pm that was welcomed by Jessica and followed by Elvira for the Invocation and after that your's truly is the one who open the game.Then we started the first game called " Eggplant Pressing " at first some are aloof to join coz they don't know whats the mechanic of the game but then when i give them instruction how to play it they all burst out to laugh,that makes them excited to play but some of the players cannot concentrate due to undying laughter,boisterous and teaser audience.It was participated by partners namely: Leo-Adith,Richard-Vangie,Anie-Taciano,Deang-Noel, Felvie-Glen. Our second game is "Nips Sipping" were the participants needs to bestow there "cheering yells" as part of it and the 3rd game is " Lemon Relay " that make us crack up that evening, it's really entertaining and full of fun!.
After all the games,we indulge the food we prepare for our dinner..there's so much food in our long table,mmm...so yummy..there's 2 lechon, kinilaw, sinugbang isda, lechon manok, humba, mango sago, cake, brownies, mango, pineapple, watermelon etc..these foods are donated by my batchmates who are very supportive of this event.
That's not the end of our party, as we've done taking our dinner we give all the prizes to the winners of the game. For Eggplant Pressing our winner is Richard and Vangie, for 2nd Nips Sipping and 3rd games Lemon Relay the boys got the prizes they bet the girls power that night,but anyway all of us didn't leave that place don't have any gift. All of us got the give aways a keychain printed HCA Batch'94.
It was not stop there,we decided to have a roll call so that everyone can speak out infront of the crowd.We let them to introduce him/herself and of course,there are a lot of teaser on that day ahehe..maybe because we miss each other for a long time,that was a memorable day to us. Picture taking for every section and for everybody, indeed so much fun!
Overwhelm of the said event, some of the Abatz stay there for a couple of hours just to mingle with other batchmate and have drinks with them, It was a great time for all of us.We got home at 12 midninght with a smile in our face and overflow happiness in our heart.
The key success of this event that makes us bond are being united, supportive, acceptance, chastity and camaraderie. Keep it up..be proud being ABATZ!!..:)
Till next event, guys!!..God Speed!!.^_^
