12, 2007 (Sunday)- After watching a movie murder whodunit on
cable and taking a long-distance call from Cebu...I trooped downstairs
on the building where I currently live and I met up with
waiting-for-more-than-15-minutes Paul Sy - an old friend,
college classmate/batch mate (CIT, Computer Science pioneers) and a
fellow Cebuano...who I've known way back in nineteen eight six.
I
first came across Paul when he was knee high to a grasshopper
(hmm....maybe not knee high?.....maybe its better to say that he was as
tall as the grasshopper?).
And
I can certainly remember his shenanigans and idiosyncrasies which drove
other people mad during our teenage years, even his love-team-mate in
our class..hehehe...ah...nostalgia anyone?
Everything
was simpler then and we were all incorrigible teasers...I remember a
question I asked him during summer classes - "Paul Sy, are you going to
take up Pol Sci?" *ignores glare from said guy*
He
had arrived from Hong Kong (or maybe another country in Asia) a couple
of weeks ago, and said he'd like to meet up with me in Makati so he
could drop off something for me ... uhmm... 'pasalubong' ? Of course I
will be generous enough to receive it.....enough said *grin*. I tried
to get in touch with other classmates I had in Manila to see if they
could also come over....
It makes me sad that my college batch mates and I who are in Manila never get to see each other together at the same time..- Aug 17, 2007 1:16 AM
