my high school batchmates will be having a little reunion this coming week. i had thought that the get-together was only for a particular barkada, but when i checked back on the groups' posts at yahoo, it seems the invitation to come was open for anyone in the batch.

i could come, i thought. it should be nice to see those other guys again and ask 'em wut up? but then again, i wasn't any bit popular among them. i'd be surprised if even half of those 200+ now-alumni can still remember me. i wasn't strictly a nobody either. it'll probably depend on my friends whether i/we go or not.

on the other hand, i shouldn't come. all those other guys have either graduated already or at least have only a few remaining semesters left to finish. they'd probably have jobs too, or handling their own businesses or whatnot, and look where i am! still nowhere near graduating, and have no good excuse for it. and i've transferred from a respected state university to a ridicule-poked-at commercial one. almost everybody from high school that i meet again ask "why?" "how come?" and i'm tired of explaining the story.

in other words, i'd just probably annoy myself just by being there. maybe if somebody was sponsoring all the expenses..

hmm.. have to ask someone in the group bout that.

i don't want to go to a reunion without bringing something to brag about. i wouldn't be able to stand it if i'm bragged to either.

maybe we'll spend that dinner reminscing about high school, those good old days, where every conversation piece starts with, "remember that time when we [insert oh-so-fun-filled event here]," or "remember when you [insert irritatingly embarrassing moment here]," or "remember when they [insert scandalous/intriguing/controversial story/gossip here]." then they'd be filling in each other on how each other person's love life had gone. ugh.

apart from having so few happy moments, lots of embarrassing ones, and being ignorant of any controversies back then, the one semblance of a romance i had is not something i wish to recall.

i'm probably sitting this one out. maybe if i had become a wealthy young professional or a gorgeous popular celebrity, i'd already be making plans on coming. hmm. prolly not then, anyway: i wouldn't be wanting to expose my important, imperious, ass-backwards self needlessly.
