it was one interesting weekend. a grand alumni homecoming involving all years from 1965-2011. it was a time of meeting some classmates from high school. a few came after 35 years of not seeing one another as a group. for our batch only about 35 of us came out of the 150 classmates. it was really fun time not only for our classmates but for all of the other batches. some of them i also knew having stayed at the school from elementary thru college.
and to think it was held about two weekends after my family reunion --- a cousins reunion, actually. it was the first ever organized and we had a chance to meet most of my cousins, some i haven't seen for about 20 years.
really interesting month is may 2011.

old flames
The weekend was one important event for me. I met my classmates in high school. For some of us, it was a first time for the last 35 years. What really colored the affair, was not so much the attendance of an old flame, because I've gotten over her long time ago. This particular girl arrived and didn't recognize me (who would expect after a long time that she could instantly recognize me). I knew she might attend because she was contacted. Someone close to her told me when she was not around that had a crush on me way back then. What my classmates didn't know was that she was one of the few interesting girls in high school. At least for me. So reserved, so dainty.
This was not really new to me since somebody told me the same way back in high school. But I didn't press on because she already had a boyfriend from among my classmates. Still she is someone interesting.
The problem is somehow when a classmate told me last weekend, the thought seemed to linger with me. Feelings and all. At my age, I didn't expect to react that way. Some sort of a deja vu.
If we only had a chance to talk alone, I might have gotten over these feelings that have been aroused. It may not be that romantic anymore, but at least some of the issue might have been resolved.
Maybe we could get to talk one of these days. Maybe I'll tell her how I felt way back then.
