MIA

ralyn, janice and i went to marillac academy yesterday to borrow our high school batch's album. we're preparing as early as now for our reunion on december and we needed pictures for our portfolio.

i felt nostalgic as soon as i stepped into the gate. the students' clamor reminded me of how we have been 15 years ago. the same excited noise and chatter along the alley and the dreamy state of some who are still having their classes.

we went to the principal's office and told her the purpose of our visit. after talking about business for 5 minutes, ms. erasmo started to ask about our personal lives. gosh! it was a shock for me that she still remembers each one of us, where we live, how we were like years ago and all that stuff. she even noticed that janice and i haven't changed our surnames. omg!

anyways, she helped us go through the school's gallery to find our batch's album. we leafed through the 80's to the 90's...we found batches '94,'95, '97 and so on, but '96 was nowhere to be found. we tried every shelf but there was not a trace of our batch. we began to think that the nuns really hated our batch...or something : (

the '96 album is still missing in action as we speak. we are going back there in a week or so and we deeply hope that the proof of our youthful existence in the school of the daughters of charity will be there waiting for us.
