Chanos' Reunion

Last April 28 I had my very first reunion with the Chanos' group - my college friends! It was supposed to be a whole day affair but some things never changed...we all ended up waiting for the last person to arrive which by the way took me two hours before I finally met up with them! Nonetheless, it was all worthy. I never realized how much I missed them and how much I missed our college days, escapades, group studies, the neva-ending brain storming for our thesis, the pancit canton near PLM, the professors, the parties, the library, Rny's place, ahhhh the exciting life of college!! (Taxation II classes are not included in my list! darn! I don't even want to remember that professor!)

Our first stop: Asian Hospital (Filinvest, Alabang) We visited Thonnie who gave birth to her son 2 days earlier. Thonnie (another chanos) was one of my closest friends in college, my buddy... The short visit was enough for us to talk about almost everyone in our batch especially our blockmates. And I'm proud that most of us are now successful with our own careers..It was also nice to hear about what had happened to those who we didn't like much during college, our other blockmates who are now married and who have their own families. Ex-suitors, ex-boyfriends, ex-lovers...Like they say...those were the days. So to Thonnie who refused to posed with us in this shot, your loss! Haha! Cheers to the new mom in town!! Congratz!! Next stop: Festival Mall
Since we're too hungry to actually take our time to decide where to eat, we went to the nearest restaurant as soon as we have parked the car. Thanks Emman and Gandz for the lunch treat! :) We were all recharged after having that heavy lunch at Teriyaki Boy, so we then headed to where else but the Videoke Bar! We didn't even realized that we've been singing and dancing and munching and drinking for the next 3 hours! It's just unfortunate that I had to call it a day at 630PM since PJ is expecting me home by 7 for our late night Subic trip. :( (kimmie, if you're reading this, I know exactly what's on your mind - Conne, you're a KJ, as always - shadap....)

Anyway, I definitely had fun! It may be short but it was definitely worth my time..I enjoyed every single moment of it! haha! Obviously, I've missed them that much! I can't wait for our next get-together, hopefully soon and by that time, I wouldn't allow myself to be the "KJ" in the group.

Trivia: *chanos chanos is the scientific name for milkfish
