The Youngest Alumnus

   Last night, here was a homecoming n my high school alma mater. Of course, being an almnus of the school, I have to go there. It's a get together of the 50+ batches who graduated from Saint James Academy and get to know one another.

    Unfortunately, I was the only member of Batch 07 who attended the homecoming desptie sending notices in advance to my batchmates via YM and a text brigaed to add with that (including word-of-mouth). The only one from 07 other than me is our batch rep, Tolits, who heped usher the event.

    Soon enough, the program started with a mass presided by a Jamer priest from the class of 81. After that the main program proper. There was a raffle and a trivia contest with rpizes ranging from botle of wine to hair curlers to bags of thermos.

   All of a sudden, I was called before the whole alumni body as I was dubbed as the "youngest attendee" of the homecoming. They forgot to add the "only attendee" from our batch. (Mr. Zaporteza of Batch 2001 was there with four from batch02 and one loner of 03).

   My prize?: A balck bag with a large thermo inside courtesy of Manila Water, who is currently presided by a Jamer from Batch 59 (I think) Mr. Tony Aquino.

   This year's glden jubilarians arethe class of 58 and the silver jubilarians are the class of 83.

My batches silver anniversary will be held on 2017 when all of us are already about 37 years old while 2057 is our golden year! Waghh!

I forgot, another batch 07 attendee was Maviel but just for a short while.She serenaded the audience with her voice and many were amazed by her talent, honed and crafted by Saint James Academy.

   Being an MMA student, I was tasked to man the laptop of one of the alumni to play a dvd made by Class of 61.

I hope next year, marami ang dadalo, ayoko mag-isa ahhhhggggahhh!
