TO BE YOUNG AGAIN
Hanging out with high school friends makes me think me of two things: Oh, to be young again.. and Argh, high school was such a longggggggggg time ago :)

I always love it that even after not seeing each other for ages, we can just hang out and it does not feel like any time has passed between us.. And last night was one of those times. We practically broke the ambiance in Cosa Nostra, known for it's quiet, romantic setting (and of course, the great pizza and pasta, although just a side note, the food isn't as good anymore). When we first walked in, we even whispered to each other, and decided to mute our cellphones because all around us were couples dating, though there was one family with a screaming baby (it lasted for a few minutes) for a while. But as soon as we started talking, we cannot help but laugh at the good ol' days, and soon, we were going at it like we were just hanging in one of the barkada's house, like old times.. Kakahiya nga.. Buti na lang we were mostly talking to each other in our dialect, so dedma.. But yah, next time, we will choose a different place to go to.. :)

But we also talked about the NOW, and things are not that simple anymore.. At least two batchmates are going through a divorce, 2 marriages already annuled, one of the guy's wife is going after him for abandoning her and their kids (we do not know all the details, but we do know that the wife is such a psycho, and she has been stalking and harassing some of us lately), one of our friend's husband died in a terrible car crash, leaving her with their young son... So many folks are going out of the country for good.. We talked about politics and what our future would be like, specially to us who are left behind.. Everyone remained the same, yet we also changed so much. Gone were the days where our biggest problem was getting a date right before our yearly Christmas gatherings.. Life is much more complicated now.. It's a time for big decisions. And a time for compromise.

After Cosa Nostra closed, we moved to one of the nearby bars and continued with our reminiscing and catching up on each other's lives at the same time..

By the time we called it a night, we were mostly pensive, thinking about what's next.. Three successfull bachelors are thinking about getting married next year, albeit they are still reluctant to take that next step.. One girl is still in the process of tying loose ends.. The other two in the bunch are single souls who used to almost have it then, but the girl has moved on though she is afraid she might still end up with the guy because she is afraid to grow old alone.

Life is just not easy anymore. Sometimes, I think to myself, what I'd give to be young again.
