Remembering our past makes us stronger because it made us what we are today
It’s really nice meeting your friend for so many years especially if it’s also been a long time since you last saw each other. This is exactly how I pictured meeting Christina-Dojoles-Omolon. She is my classmate at the Colegio de San Agustin in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental. Our batchmates would commonly call her “Amo” (monkey) despite her beautiful face because she’s very kalog. We last met in 2005 right after our graduation. Amo has then been working in Texas. Amo also happened to be my wife’s third cousin, too.
We set a meeting with my sister-in-law Mimay (who also happened to be her classmate in high school — talk about small world) with her husband in Cravings at the Shangri-la Plaza Mall in Mandaluyong City. Amo brought along her daughter Tricia. That kept my son Kyle busy as he and Tricia played while Amo and her husband, Mimay and I caught up with what’s happening with our lives. The meeting was capped by coffee at Starbuck.
Hope to have many more reunions to attend to.

Did you know that before the sex scandals in cellphones, video, VCD and DVDs involving celebrities, politicians, students among many others, a favorite topic and frequently visited internet site in our Batch in College of Nursing has already made the scandal which could have resulted in the expulsion of almost half of batch 95 nursing graduating students?.
It happened almost a month before graduation. Since our batch was compose of six sections, we were cut in two sections. The sections A,B and C held class classes alternately for the week while the half sections D, E and F were doing their hospital duty. This was to accommodate the bulk of students who would have hospital exposures and classes.
So with this set up, there were tendencies of three sections taking the exam first and then the next three sections would do so in the next week. Even though the teachers and instructors were changing the set of questions, students who would take exam after the first batch already knew what were the types and set of questions to be asked. So the student who took the exam first would likely inform those who were still about to take it.
Until the system was spotted when there was leakage floating around the classroom, not only by a minor teacher but the terror school guidance councilor as well. We were asked one by one because it was handed by one person to another. And with all those interrogations and investigations done to be able to identify where it was originated, the president of the class and the batch number one a magna cumlaude student took the responsibility of it. So what could the school could do.
Wise move, I thought. It ended the issue and they still graduated with flying colors.
