A lot of people dread their ten-year high school reunion. I didn't, because I was part--if not leader--of the organizing committee. So when ours came along during the last weekend of October, I was (forced to be?) in the midst of it all.

It was funny, because months before, we had such grandiose plans of how we would celebrate the thing. But of course, as expected, a lot of people did not cooperate. Instead of a cocktail event at some posh resort, we had to come up with humbler plans.

Only around 30 people (out of 160+ in our batch) joined the festivities. Many are working outside the country, but a lot were apparently just too shy to be there. Oh, high school! Why is it, that even just the thought of it brings out so many of our insecurities? But no matter. Regardless of how everyone turned out after 10 years, we still had fun. Catching up was a blast!
