One sisterhood weekend
Once again another reunion took place over the weekend with my high school friends living along the East coast.
Of the 15 lovely ladies expected to come, there were only 10 of us who made it. The rest weren’t able to join because of motherly concerns which we understood. But there was one special friend who took time to be with us by traveling all the way from Denver, CO to Germantown, MD last Saturday and going back home the next day.
Our online social networking somehow helped us to keep each other updated thus in our second meeting, we gave more emphasis on the group’s favorite past time – magic sing. For those of us who can’t sing well, we either joined in the chorus or danced our way with the music.
It was like having a girls’ sleep-over with no other family members around. We had a blast -- wholesome fun! Our theme was Luau complete with Hawaiian decors and music except that we weren't wearing our grass skirts.
Just like in any Filipino gatherings, food was the center of everything. We had lunch and dinner at home but we had our late-night dessert at Tara Thai in Bethesda, MD. In between our eating sessions were snippets of what’s going on with our lives coupled with mugshots to capture each moment.
It’s good to know that despite the distance and the many years we’ve lost in touch due to our demanding career and/or a growing family, whenever we gather, it’s as if it was only yesterday that we last saw each other. Nothing much has changed with our friendship. In fact, we became closer as years pass by.
Ahh the beauty of friendships ...
