14 years after
We we're just the usual high school freshmen. simple and naive.
most of my classmates have known each other way back their elementary days. since they've come from either same school or have met each other in some school activities. given that, i can say mixing with the group is easy. they are funny, chummy and pretty much easy to get a long with.
I came from far away Marilao, Layra and Liwanag from poetic Balagtas. Madeleine and Anna from Bocaue Central, Pinky from Cutcut (i'm not sure , are you sister?) .
Janieuary, Kiteh and Janet are from Bambang.
See, we came from different backgrounds, but I guess, when you are destined to meet, no matter how different your views from the rest are, you will surely be together.
Everlasting Company wasn't conceived overnight. Afters a year of testing and weighing things if we will get along fine, our leader--it's easy to have a group if there's a leader right?-- Janieuary coined the word Everlasting Company.
We were only 2nd yr high school students, it was January 22, 1991. At first there was only about seven of us. and then Anna came, and later on Pinky.
As a group, we had fun and sad memories of high school life. First love, first heart ache, first boyfriend and so many other firsts...
After hS graduation, we lost touch. Some went to Manila for their college education, some stay in Bulacan.
When Royce and me became steady, we bumped into some of our batchmates so frequently which rarely happened when we are not yet on. Coincidence? Maybe. Seeing these old faces from our school, the urge to meet with my group friends became so intense. I already forgot how it started, how we meet again. But looking back, Everlasting Company has gone a long way.
Though we seldom see each other now, the line of communication is very active. We send emails, pictures, text messages and sometimes we even meet for no reason at all, just for fun.
Last saturday, the 28th -- a week after 22nd-- we celebrated 14 years of everlasting friendship. though some were not around, we are sure that in their hearts, and in ours as well, the friendship lives on! Happy anniversary EC! Click on here to view some of our pics.
