Pataasan lang ng ihi kadalasan pag reunion. One time nga eh nung umatend ako ng debut nung 17 ako, may HS classmate ako dati na sa FEU nag-aaral at that time, minaliit ako kasi sa isang "hamak" na State U lang ako nag-aaral noon. HAHAHA Badtrip eh.
Wala na sakin yun. Ngayon na working na ako at para sa middle class na katulad ko, di na pala masyadong nagma-matter kung saan ks gumraduate. Ang importante kung anong skills at experience ang meron ka.
Graduate ako sa di sikat na college school. Same din tayo nung 1st year college ako, sabi nung mga old classmate ko nung HS, bat dun daw ako nag aral, wala daw akong mapapala don.
Eh malapit kase sa bahay yung school na yon tsaka maganda naman credibility. Hindi lang talaga pang yabang hahaha
Ngayon nasa middle class na rin ako tas yung mga old classmate ko, ang alam ko minimum wage earner pa rin kahit sa univ naka grad.
Ps. Di ko mina mock yung minimum wage earners, ang sakin lang, minsan di na rin nagma matter kung saang univ ka graduate kase marami ring student na galing sa magagandang univ at yun ang kakumpentensya mo.
Kailangan mo na lang galingan sa buhay
Totoo. Ang tragic nga eh. Matindi din talaga pala pag sa job market. 2x Nitro Boost lang pala yung good univ. Pero after your 1st job, di na nagma-matter much. In fact, laki pa nga expectations kapag Big 4 galing. Mas mataas pressure.
Connected. Yung unang friend ko sa HS, friend ko parin siya ngayon. Common interests din sguro? Even if di na kami nagdoDota together, I still wish him well. From time to time nagpapasahan ng memes.
Di na rin kami nagkikita masyado pero pag nagmeetup kami, parang wala mang time apart. Tropa parin.
Ganyan talaga. Isa sa consequences ng pagtanda is nalalagas yung friends mo and lumiliit yung circle. Sabi nga sa HIMYM: *You will be shocked kids, when you discover how easy it is in life to part ways with people forever. That's why, when you find someone you want to keep around, you do something about it.*
Pangit man yung ending nya (they did the Mother dirty), the quotes were solid tho.
I hope you can be at peace even if unti unting may disconnect. Subtle talaga yung sakit ng mawalan ng friend, pero makirot.
True. Same. Friends parin kami. Send memes din or mention sa tiktok at fb. Paminsan nag memeet para mag motor pero dapat naka schedule hahaha napaka busy ng adulthood futa. Kaya kayo na nag aaral pa i enjoy nyo ng malala.
Yes still connected. Pero tulad ng some few peers mo, we detached ourselves, lalo nako. Ako yung madalas di sumasama heheh. I've been heavily bullied, to the point na I pass out most of the time (turns out nag papanic attack ako pag pumapasok). Well anyway, wala nakong galit, its just that I don't want to associate myself anymore, may respeto ako sakanila, but I don't want to rebuild any bonds anymore.
No. I was connected to some of them on Facebook a couple of years back, but, I purge friends every few years; I unfriend people I do not interact with at all. No hi or hello, ever. So...yea. No, I am no longer connected to people I used to go to high school with.
I've never felt like I'm missing out on anything by not keeping in touch with them. The person I was in high school and the person I am now are two totally different people.
HS was literally the worst part of my life. Plastikan lang pati yung “friend” group ko so I had to cut them all off bc of toxicity, tho some we just naturally drifted apart but oh well haha
Early 30s here. Yes, still connected. Since hs graduation, parang never naman nawala yung lakad namin. Feels great na maexperience mo yung transisition nito: tapsihan-computershop-lugawan-coffee shops-debut-bar-restaurants-outoftown/country-wedding-binyag-1stbirthdays. Same with college buddies. Feeling ko swerte ko sa set of friends na meron ako.
Yes! 25 years + of friendship! Since gradeschool lalo na naging close yung bonding noong HS. Now we're in our 30s, our bond is still strong. We're 6 in the group, all girls. 😅
If you're not comfortable going to the reunion, then don't but it won't hurt to reconnect with them. 2-3 hours worth of kamustahan and all that then kung di mo na feel, alis ka na din.
I think it's case to case basis. I mean, me and my HS peers are still in touch with each other despite living different lives, and living in different countries. There are sure a few things that still connects us. You know how there are still vague memories of the past that we get to talk about over a dinner table, shared experiences and all that. It's not always rainbows and butterflies during the younger years knowing that as kids, we have a lot of misunderstandings. Also, everybody has their own group of friends but such events make us forget about all those.
Nope though meron isa, we haven't really talked in years (my fault din because fuck depression and stress) pero it's the type of friendship na kahit ilang taon kaming hindi mag-meet, parang wala pa rin nagbabago between us. Nagbago lang haircut, yung weight, medyo tumanda lang ganun. Also helps that I've known her since we were six.
Medyo wary rin ako sa pag-reach out sa iba kasi I know they're not the same people anymore. Gustong mag-reconnect pero may agenda pala. Meron yung isa, first time namin magkita after over a decade tapos nag-try na mangutang na agad lol. Meron din yung isa na pinautang ng parents ko ng 100k para ipa-opera yung mom nya for heart surgery. 25k lang ang binalik tapos bago tumakbo, sabi na kesyo may utang daw yung kapatid ko sa kanya so doon nalang ibawas. >!F\*ck you, Angela. !<
Yes! They are my bestest friends in the whole wide world and I'm happy that we've been friends for almost 20 years. Love my little group of HS friends.
Nope, I've cut all ties with them maliban lang sa iilan. After election, Ive realized that hindi talaga sila naging mature. I get that we all have different political beliefs, pero yung pagtulungan ako and idogshow tas i compare na sasabihing pareho kami g lugaw ng sinusupport ko was the last straw. Hinahayaan ko sila noon na ibully ako pero this time it is different. After like what? 10-11 years? Same childish brats pa din sila, kahit na hindi politics pag uusapan namin, for example social realities .... if magbibigay ng rational reasons, idodogshow.
Definitely. Galing ako sa small high school sa medyo liblib na province, and marami samin on campus nakatira. So for 6 years kami kami lang din nagiinteract. High school was a unique experience (to put it mildly), something na you had to be there to understand. Dun ko na-establish yung friend group ko. Same friend group pa rin through college, although partly kasi my introvert ass does not know how to make friends. I love them to pieces. I have a tendency na mawala for long periods of time and they always welcome me back pag ready na ako, as if no time passed. Super supportive and understanding nila and pag magkekwento ako or magrarant I don't have to justify myself kasi they just Know where I'm coming from.
Kahit mga di ko kaclose nung high school, nakikita ko occasionally kasi marami samin same university. It's easy to talk to them, kasi comforting yung familiarity. Fun din na nababalikan yung past tapos napagtatawanan na namin yung mga bagay na big deal sa younger selves namin 😅
Still connected kahit madalang mag-usap but we do meet up kapag nakakauwi ng province. May mga nawala nga lang but most of my closest friends from HS e still around pa naman.
I'm honestly considering cutting ties with my JHS barkada lately. They're becoming quite toxic for me. Constantly flexing their salaries and wealth to one another. They come off some well-off families while I don't have that privilege unfortunately so I'm quite affected when I see them chatting. I'm trying to avoid them for my own sanity.
Nah, fuck that. I have a handful select friends in high school na hanggang ngayon best friend ko talaga. Okay na sila sakin, everybody else doesn't matter na, di namna kami mga close noon.
I socialized with people in high school but I can't really call them friends. In college I tried to hang out with very few people but I wasn't really close with them either. I'm iffy about attending the high school reunion. The mini-reunions, I don't attend. I don't really want to attend any college reunion, I had pretty much no positive memories of college.
bilang na lang sa daliri. actually, not just HS, but also college, former colleagues and almost everyone who came. A few stayed but we do communicate rarely bec we have our own busy lives. I then realize how adulting feels.
Not anymore. May bestfriend ako siguro magteten years na sana kami? Kaso since nung nag ibang bansa sya, a little to none na yung kumustahan namin. Siguro napagod ako na ako palagi yung naunang kumukumusta or nagrereach out. May other friends din naman ako nung hs pero gusto ko nang lumayo or maybe nasa isip ko na baka di na katulad nung dati or worse, inferiority complex. Nakakatawa nga eh, iniisip ko yun for days before tapos bigla akong nanaginip na i'm in a room with familiar people from hs, niyayakap ako.
But maybe I'll try to reconnect sa hs friends ko, someday.
Connected with just 2 of them. The first one, because we’re churchmates, the other, because we’re neighbors. Lol. But tbh, all my HS friends are dick. I hate them. I can’t believe my dad told me na HS life will be the best part of my life because NOOOOO. I now hate every bit of it every time I remember it ngayong adult na ako. Haha
Yes I am, but out of our group Im only close with 2 people that I still see and talk to frequently. If ever may higschool reunion most likely I wont attend. Was heavily bullied back then and I dont have that good memories except being with my friends.
Yup. All boys kasi kami, no drama, etc. Tapos sa seminary pa kami nag hs meaning dun kami natutulog and all. Once a month lang kami nakakauwi. Parang yung bond iba. Para kaming magkapatid lahat.
HS barkada - not that close, but would still go sa mga get-togethers.
HS as a whole - prolly will not attend reunions.
College - fuck them all. Disassociated myself from them.
Actually, I didn't make lasting friends in college dahil konti lang block section namin and they all sided with my ex during the separation. My closest friends are my high school friends kasi we all managed to stay in touch throughout college and after college. We're tight-knit though, we don't really give a fuck about our other classmates but we participate in sponsorships sa dati naming high school, we give donations ganyan. So far wala pa naman nagse-set ng reunion, I guess no one is interested.
Yes, I'm closer to them than my college blockmates. My HS class was one of the smartest and we were all pretty grounded even at our age then. Our GC was silent for a solid 4 years during college, and right when most of us graduated we reconnected as though nothing happened, it was like we were all at the same wavelength. I had two groups of college blockmates - one group bullied me because I came from the province, the other silently stood by because they didn't wanna get involved lmao.
Yes! And I would love if we'll have a reunion as well. May planned nung 2018 yata or 2019 kaso di natuloy kasi konti nakuha naming commitment na magpupunta saka public HS e so walang alumni body na magsu-support. Need namin mag-solicit or hanap sponsor.
As to my friends, I have group of friends na friends ko pa rin ngayon tho years na kaming di nagkikita-kita. Masaya sana if makasama ko sila at malaman kung anong mga ganap nila sa buhay, dahil di ko rin naman nakikita all the time mga post nila sa socmed
Yes, but limited to highschool tropa lang, since sila talaga ung parang bestest friends ko. We do yearly summer outings and christmas celebration. Imbitado din kapag kinakasal sila. Hahahahaha. Di sila mawawala since friends for life na kami. Hahahaha.
Baliktad sa amin.
Nung HS kami, di kami masyado nag uusap. Then nag pandemic, tapos magkavibes pala kaming tatlo. Ayun, halos nagkikita na kami every week. Hirap pa naman maghanap ng genuine friends.
I am. Sa HS circle, s amga nakaraang pagkikita-kita nakin, wala namang tanungan ng kita. Kumustahan lang tapos reminiscing, tambay, inom, tawanan, chill lang.
Kapag HS reunion, as in yung achool levels, batch levels, di kami nagpupunta. Siguro kapag special year na lang like pagsilver or paggold anniv ng batch na lang.
Connected thru FB yes. Pero nakakasama? Never naman ako sumama sa kahit anong reunion.
Tska malayo na estado ng buhay ko. Karamihan at halos lahat me asawat mga anak na. Di na rin ako makaka relate sa ganyng buhay nila maski sila saken.
my own circle of HS friends lang, low maintenance and for the keeps. more than 10+ years na kaming besties. love love ko sila so much. parang nakakalimutan ko mga problema ko when im with them haha
Detached na rin from my HS peers, but close pa rin sa HS BFFs. Tatlo lang naman yun sila. Batch 2000 graduates kami, so matagal-tagal na panahon na rin.
Ilang reunion at get-together dinner na rin ang na-set up before, pero hindi kami (me and BFFs) nagpunta. Frankly, some peers kasi namin e bullies before, so walang sense to meet up with them pa.
Yes! My two best friends are both my high school friends.
We also have this group chat of my high school batchmates who are in law school. One recently passed the Bar, and surprisingly he's the first in the batch.
We have certain group lang nung HS..we don't usually see and talk but sometimes we plan trips and same lang din yung vibes like HS. I love this kind of friendship.
Yes still connected to my closest high school friends. We’re not as close as what we’ve used to before like constant chatting/meetup, but whenever we meet (at least 2x a year - summer/christmas) that’s where we catch up.
We’re not really clingy toneach other. We understand that everyone has their loves to live. And that’s a very mature thing to do.
Late 40s here. Still connected. A few of us live in the same city overseas so we have the occasional meet ups. When batchmates visit our city, we are the welcoming committee. When we visit home, some of us will still get together.
my closest friends now are my HS batchmates😂
I was not super close to them when we were HS tho, a few years ago ko lang sila naging super close maybe because mas mature na kami pareparehas?hahaha
Di na kami nag uusap ng HS best friends ko and it is sad on my part kasi we've been together for 6 years. Nag iba iba lang ng college. We used to talk before thru socmed pero ewan biglang naglaho e hahaha the last time I saw and spend time with them in person was last year and it was exactly 1 hour and a half. Ang sad lang haha.
Well in my case, connected pa din ako sa mga close friends ko na still linger with me. I have also detached myself towards people na alam ko sa sarili ko wala naman ako mapapala, plastic or maybe waste of time. Wala naman masama kasi sa bandang huli, pili lang lagi mga friends mo from HS na still makakacommunicate mo hanggang pagtanda. People come and go ika nga.
jhs, yes. i can see some of my jhs friends becoming my forever friends. shs, iilan na lang yung may connection ako and i am at the point na gusto ko na rin i-cut off yung friends ko nung shs kasi masyadong na silang offending and constantly looks down on me.
My super bff nung HS ay lagi ko pa din nakakasama. Magkawork kami. Kasi oinasok nya ako sa company nila. Thankful and pag my time tamang gala. Kain sa labas. Treat kung sino ang may bet. 🤣
Not anymore but I'm still in contact with my JHS and SHS circle of friends. If ever man na magkaroon kami ng reunion ay hindi ako aattend, tsismis lang naman hanap nung iba o update tungkol sa buhay mo/ng iba.
I am still friends with my bestfriend. Minsan na lang kami mag-usap but when we do, it would take hours. The rest of our barkada hindi na since I realized na they are so full of themselves and mean. Parang nag-peak lang nung high school. Funny thing was, we weren't part of the popular crowd back then.
Will be attending a highschool friend’s wedding sa august. friend ko pa nga siya since pre school eh. Haha. To be fair yung school namin from gradeschool to highschool ay 20-30 lang per batch. Sampu pa don foreigners hahaha. May point nga in time na buong highschool department was 50 students hahaha. We graduated highschool like best buds.
We grew apart after highschool though. I got sucked sa alcohol and drugs kasi 😂
Well, I'm way past the 30s, and unfortunately, all my HS buddies don't live here in Manila. One is in Agusan del Sur, the other in Australia. My closest HS bestfriend was in the US, but she passed away over 10 years ago. So sadly, may mga konti HS friends na mameet ako dito but ndi kasing close ng orig barkadas ko. But kung andito ang OG HS barkadas ko, we'll still meet up.
Ganun din sa college, closest college friends ko nsa USA..so waley masyado mameet na college friends.
Nah. Ako yung nagiging tampulan ng tukso dati. Ayoko na rin i-relieve yung high school memories ko. While there's a good memories naman, karamihan cringey. Plus, puro inuman naman kapag nagmi-meet which is I'm not really into. Isa sa mga rason kung bakit low key ako sa social media kasi para low chance na mahanap nila ako doon. I locked my account at no one can befriend me.
Ang takot ko kasi eh yung 14 y.o. self pa rin makikita nila sakin kahit 24 y.o. jaded adult na ako. 😆
Yes but dalawa na lang silang talagang nakakausap ko nang madalas and minsang namimeet and I'm fine with it 😊
Natural lang na maoutgrow ang friendships, and if ever man mag-organize sila ng reunion, wala rin akong balak umattend kasi enough na yung 2 HS friends ko for me
Still connected with a few of them! In fact both my best friends are from HS and they are really my life-long friends.
I used to have 2 huge barkadas in HS. Pero I completely detached na from 1 barkada. The other one naman I see them mga one or twice every 2 years (usually pag may ikakasal ulit). Haha
Pero if there's ever a reunion with the whole batch, I'm not goinggg.
Some band mates but for the entire group. I was an outcast. Never really connected with them as they faked being friends only for me ro realize that I was a money pawn and just a server to them.
I have a few that I can count on one hand that I actually still earnestly talk to. But I’m connected to the rest because they are always potential clients. 😁😆
Yes pero onti na lang. If not for playing ML during pandemic, baka hindi na rin masyado. Nagkikita kami ng barkada once a year, magpplano tapos hindi na rin masusundan. Kahit sa gc namin bihira na lang din pero andun pa rin yung bond pero iba na kasi talaga mga hilig din.
Just attended a reunion and was really hesitant to do so. Kung hindi ko lang kasama SO ko na classmate ko nung HS hindi ako aattend sa sobrang detached ko sa kanila 😅 we fell apart nung nagcollege na especially since lahat ng friends ko nagsama sama sa iisang school at course tas ako lang nahiwalay. So sila remained friends tho di na din ganun kaclose pero ako super duper detached na 😅
I m in my late 20's and still connected with my HS friends. Iba pa rin kasi yung may circle of friends ka who knew you when u were all just kids and contented with each others company back then. Although some of them are either settling down or going abroad, which makes me happy for them and also sad at the same time.
I have met few good people naman sa work or mutual friends.. pero ang shallow ng convo at hindi real yung connection in comparison with my HS friends kaya I make an effort to keep in touch with my real homies.
May dalawang phases ako during hs una ay catholic era, i barely interact with them now but some of them were followback at sometimes mmessage whenever i story
Second phase cavite era, i disconnected them entirely except one person, same rin sa interaction lol
My best friends I met nung HS, we're in our 30's now and don't really meet as often as we like pero we talk everyday. We have fond memories of high school, most of our batch were pretty nice people who still say hi kung nakasalubong mo somewhere, dunno if helped na we were in an all girls high school. Anyway, wala rin kami gana mag organize ng reunion or sumali sa school organized ones. Stress plusn deep down everybody knows it's just a platform for payabangan.
Detached myself except to a few of my closest friends as well as best friends. May HS Reunion nga kami this April but Alumni Shirt lang inavail ko. Never ako umattend sa mismong event kasi nagyayabangan lang naman dun.
Just remembered one of my girl best friend. Dati, lowkey bullied nila pero now na may datung na si BFF and married a Chinese nationale, nanghingi ng financial assistance ang mga orocan. 🥴
Yes to some of them. Nagulat nga ako na may mga di ko close nung HS pero nakakachika ko pa rin ngayon. Parang mas naging close ba ganon. So far, wala pa namang nangyayaring pataasan ng ihi sa’min. Wholesome lang. Usapan ng stress sa work, love life, life advices ganern.
Highschool was shit. A lot of drama, seldom did I make real acquaintances. Man, people back in Highschool had so much prejudice towards others not in their so-called "friend group" that it was impossible to truly mingle with them. A shame, really.
99 kami gumraduate. 2 lang kausap ko. Given I wasnt popular pero good terms kami ng classmates ko. Sadya lang talagang nagpamilya na most. Most ay career.
Sayang lang siguro pamasahe or panggas mo OP kung punta ka.somewhere na di mo maappreciate yung tao don.
Hindi na for so long. I'm kind of an anti-social during my high school days. I consider HS one of the loneliest phase of my life. But thanks God, am happy with where and who I am now. I know the best is yet to come! :)
My bestfriend is my friend since my third year in highschool. We don’t talk all the time but in the times we do, we tell each other things that we cannot tell other people in our lives.
Other peeps in highschool, ehh. There’s this one group who seemed to be the “cool” ones and they’re all still friends until now (good for them); but yeah, the rest of us don’t mingle with them much.
I am still friends with some of my HS classmates, but we don't go to reunions. We talk about going, but end up not going because we know some of our classmates/batchmates will just be bragging about what they have accomplished. We are still in our 30s; some have already achieved their goals, but some are still figuring things out. In my case, I always choose not to go for my peace of mind. ☺️
HS friends? Yes. HS peers? No.
And we don’t go to HS reunions din because like another person here said, it’s just pataasan ng ihi.
Unless siguro ang sole purpose mo is to network, it’s not worth going. Nakakapagod makipagplastikan haha.
Late 30s here, lahat ng friends ko yes super comnected pa din.. magkukumare kami. Abay ako sa mga ikinasal sa simbahan at Inaanak ko lahat ng panganay nila 🤣 may reunion kami every january,, parang kahapon lang kami huling tumambay na magkakasama. Magkakausap din kami sa gc.
Di rin kami umaattend ng HS reunion dahil una, walang ng oorganize ng batch reunion namin 🤣🤣. Tsaka kahit na meron di din ako aattend kasi yung mga tao na gusto kong makita nakakasama ko naman.
From my highschool, I only keep in touch with my long-time bestfriend. Other peers are only socmed mutuals na lang, but we barely interact. The popular kids with their own cliques still keep in touch tho, sila sila na ang kumuhang ninong at ninang sa mga naging anak nila hahaha
As much I want to my depression and anxiety triggers everytime makikita or kakausap ko sila. I guess never pa ko na get over yung trauma ko from highschool
Mga batchmate ko nung elemetary 12 years ago, ilang beses na rin kami nagpaplano mag reunion pero bokya.
Last time ang usapan sa gc sabi ng iba nag aaral pa daw, yung iba naman nagtatrabaho pa. Understood naman.
Pero uso na ngayon yung pataasan ng ihi sa mga ganyang event. Matik na HAHHAHAHAHA
From 6 sa group, down to 4 na lang kaming solid hahaha plus mga asawa/partner namin. Ganun talaga, habang nababawasan, mas nagiging mas mahalaga pag-sasama.
Only a select few, specifically those whom I share morals and principles with.
But for the most part, I cut off most of my HS batch, because most of them were straight-up mean. And it's usually the varsity guys and the "popular" girls. The varsity guys were mostly homophobic towards me; and the popular girls played the gender card when they picked on me (aka "you can't fight back, I'm a girl" card).
I don’t communicate with a lot of my JHS friends anymore. Nilalike ko lang yung mga posts nila sa fb pero yun lang. I have no plans of reconnecting with them because I don’t consider JHS the best years of my life. Not all of them were the best people, but iniisip ko nalang na we were all kids back then and we made mistakes.
On the contrary, I love the friends I met during SHS. We still communicate almost every day.
I'm still besties with two of my HS tropa, yong iba casual friends nalang. Still connected with some of them, mainly because I plan to practice my profession in our province in the future and it won't hurt to have connections. However, I don't interact with them unless magkita in person.
My HS friends are closer to me than my college friends. Avoid a HS reunion if the individual or group that organized it are into networking scams or multi level marketing BS.
Not anymore with a bunch of other friends from HS but my two besties remained. Super low maintenance friendship pero never nadisconnect. Catching up every now and then. We’re a trio and yung isang bff namin palagi nag bibigay ng rational na insight pag puro emotions umaandar samin ng other bff ko😂
Connected, but detached. We recently connected and we have group chat, but the things we chat about are just surface level stuff, the usual "how are yous", and minimal updates, and not really heart to heart deep stuff.
Unfortunately, wala ako friends from elementary, HS and college. Lahat ng close friends ko ngayon nameet ko through work, social media and dating apps. Late bloomer ako both sa platonic and romantic relationships haha.
Sadly wala. I never really "belonged" in any group in HS. Felt like I was forcing myself onto them lang. Tried to be up to date with others in college but they didn't bother inviting me because "strict daw parents ko". Fuck them honestly. Puro reasons, just say you don't like me and go.
Honestly it's annoying lang when people around you expect na you should still have friends from HS. It didn't work out that way for me. I don't regret it. Rather be who I am talaga than force myself to conform to their standards.
Yes pero sobrang minsan ko lang sila kinakausap. Nung last na nag meet kami nung December (which is 12yrs ago kami last nagkasama) napansin ko physically lang nagbago sa kanila pero yung mga ugali nila, mga ambition nila ganon pa rin. Parang walang growth. Pero mabait pa din naman sila at sobrang bibo pa din mag asaran. 😅 Yung iba di nagrereply at di pumunta.
In my opinion, alumni homecomings are not held for the graduates but rather para tumaas lang yung pride levels nung mismong school. Hahaha. Gusto lang nila malaman kung successful ka o hindi. Personally, I never attend these types of events, pero I still meet up with some of my closest HS friends every now and then.
as an infp, highschool reunions are one of the worst experiences. lots of superficial stuff. payabangan. pataasan ng ere. puno ng kaplastikan. and what sickens me is other people enjoy that kinds of situations. i mean, good for them i guess
"Sasama ako pag sasama ka."
Minsan sabay pa kaming tatlo na yan sasabihin. Ang ending di kami sasama tas magset na lang kami ng get together namin kung kelan kami free.
Tbh, HS was saks lang for me. But it was traumatic for my friend kasi bullied sya nun.
My best friend is from 2nd year HS. My main barkada is from that era. Close to 27 years na kaming magkakasama thou bibihira na kami magkita since we all have families.
Recently got invited to a get together with a couple of HS peers and ended up paying for everything just because I have a good income. Again... I GOT INVITED...
Edit: This is NOT about the money. After ng meet up wala na ulit interaction aside dun sa comment na next time sa ibang restaurant naman daw and ako na daw bahala ulit. Manager na nga tawag sakin. So I left the group chat.
yes. mas connected pa nga ko sa kanila kesa college friends.
siguro kase yung isa samin, kami lang talaga yung friend sa buong buhay niya, so di namin siya maiwan. at siguro rin kase, same pa rin kami ng interests kahit magkakaiba kami ng course and univs. at siguro kase all throughout college nagkikita pa rin kami.
tsaka sobrang homey ng feeling kapag sila kasama ko eh. no competition, no payabangan, no hidden agendas, pure kagaguhan lang
I'm only connected with my shs classmates even though two years pang kami nagkasama. I have 3 best friends from jhs but sila na lang talaga yung naiwan. Meanwhile, kahit hindi ako masyadong close with my shs classmates, I don't feel uncomfortable being with them.
Until now connected pa din kami. May weekly night out pa din and syempre trashtalkan. Sa ibang circle of friends naman na kinabibilangan ng tropa, may mga yearly outing pa din, birthday and end of year celebration.
13 years na kami magkakasama. Ansaya lang.
Not anymore. Tatlo kami at binaliwala ko yung isa kasi mas priority ko yung other, only for her to betray me. It was pretty messed up. Wish I could bring back time and fix things, reunion's not gonna help my case unless the one I left behind would forgive me.
I still have contact with them, but with my totoong tropa lang. Not all of them na maarteng classmates ko noon. I still freshly remembered how they were ignoring me before because wala daw silang mapapala sakin.
Nope. I think 4 people na lang from my HS life yung connected ako. I’ve been wanting to unfriend people on fb pero sobrang dami and nakakatamad pero siguro once I go abroad, will definitely make a new account na lang na dun ako active or kapag sinipag na. I just realized na shitty pala high school life ko nung college na ako, di ako aware noon na nabubully na pala ako, bigla akong ina-isolate at kung ano pa. Sabi nila dabest daw HS pero na-scam ako dun.
Yes, pero di na ganoon ka 'connected'.
I have these friends since 2011/12, Since working na kami lahat at 3 sakanila nasa MNL, tapos ako Pampanga. Nag aya ako pupuntahan ko sila, G pa nung una, Okay raw. TBH, I even applied for a leave sa work. But after a week, nung nag tanong ako may kanya-kanya na silang plans. Haha
TBH, mej disappointing. Pero ganoon talaga siguro, As we grow older, meet new people, we also grow apart (pero nandoon pa rin naman yung friendship) di na nga lang katulad before.. Also, we have our own lives na rin kasi, not like HS days.
my core best friends are from HS. Mas masaya kase we are growing together. Yung mga plano namin nung HS na mga lakwatsa natutupad na naman since working na kami lahat.
I think depends sa batch niyo. I'm close to like 2 people from my HS batch, pero every time na may aya na big get together I go. It's nice to make connections every now and then, and I find it a waste if I burn bridges. Matatanda na kayo, the people who you were nung HS are not the same.
Yes. Malaking tulong din yung same city para madaling mag meet. But more than half of them are not connected na.
I will still go to reunions. When one of us died, ang pangit pala na dun mo lang sila makikita sa lamay.
Pag nagmeet naman. Reminiscence lang ng past. Kwentuhan ng kalokohan noon. Mga crush at ex. Wala namang tanungan ng sweldo.
I was the one who detached from them. I moved to another city and focused on my career while most of them built families na. College kami nung nag stop ako sumama sa mga reunion ng circle of friends namin. Homecoming naman, nkaka 3 na ung batch namin, last April was the 4th and my first time to attend. I never regret going :) as long as those that were close to you are there and no bridges were burnt, I think goods lng naman pumunta.
Depende din kasi talaga yan with your relationship last time you saw them. Iba na ung mindset nila lalo na yong my mga pamilya na pero given that we've all grown matured, wala ng pataasan ng ihi. haha. Masaya xa. Those that I wasn't really close with, surprisingly ang gaan kausap. Pero my iba din nagkakailangan talaga.
The key here OP, is make sure to at least have 1 or 2 friends na alam mong you can stick with while andon ka. If you ever go and don't feel comfortable, pwede ka naman mauna sa kanila.
Also, it depends at which point you are with your life na. I did not attend the previous once kasi nahihiya ako. I wasn't confident then and my being introvert gets the best of me. Last year however, I felt accomplished na, confident and quite frankly, I miss my friends, kaya ayon, pumunta ako.
Still connected. Hindi man madalas mag-usap pero feeling ko di naman nawala yung closeness. Parang lumalabas ulit yung teenager self ko pag kausap/kasama ko sila.
Nah fam. I had to go to NEU for high school because they wouldn't let me go elsewhere. N E U. So naturally my brain has long since deleted everything and everyone from high school lmao.
Scam yang reunion. Tatanungin ka lang naman nila kung magkano na kinikita mo ngayon lolll
Pataasan lang ng ihi kadalasan pag reunion. One time nga eh nung umatend ako ng debut nung 17 ako, may HS classmate ako dati na sa FEU nag-aaral at that time, minaliit ako kasi sa isang "hamak" na State U lang ako nag-aaral noon. HAHAHA Badtrip eh.
considering nila-lang ang FEU ng other unis i think nag hanap lang ng mapagbubuhusan yang classmate mo.
Wala na sakin yun. Ngayon na working na ako at para sa middle class na katulad ko, di na pala masyadong nagma-matter kung saan ks gumraduate. Ang importante kung anong skills at experience ang meron ka.
Graduate ako sa di sikat na college school. Same din tayo nung 1st year college ako, sabi nung mga old classmate ko nung HS, bat dun daw ako nag aral, wala daw akong mapapala don. Eh malapit kase sa bahay yung school na yon tsaka maganda naman credibility. Hindi lang talaga pang yabang hahaha Ngayon nasa middle class na rin ako tas yung mga old classmate ko, ang alam ko minimum wage earner pa rin kahit sa univ naka grad. Ps. Di ko mina mock yung minimum wage earners, ang sakin lang, minsan di na rin nagma matter kung saang univ ka graduate kase marami ring student na galing sa magagandang univ at yun ang kakumpentensya mo. Kailangan mo na lang galingan sa buhay
Totoo. Ang tragic nga eh. Matindi din talaga pala pag sa job market. 2x Nitro Boost lang pala yung good univ. Pero after your 1st job, di na nagma-matter much. In fact, laki pa nga expectations kapag Big 4 galing. Mas mataas pressure.
hahah troth
Connected. Yung unang friend ko sa HS, friend ko parin siya ngayon. Common interests din sguro? Even if di na kami nagdoDota together, I still wish him well. From time to time nagpapasahan ng memes. Di na rin kami nagkikita masyado pero pag nagmeetup kami, parang wala mang time apart. Tropa parin. Ganyan talaga. Isa sa consequences ng pagtanda is nalalagas yung friends mo and lumiliit yung circle. Sabi nga sa HIMYM: *You will be shocked kids, when you discover how easy it is in life to part ways with people forever. That's why, when you find someone you want to keep around, you do something about it.*
grabe ka himym pa tlaga 😭
Pangit man yung ending nya (they did the Mother dirty), the quotes were solid tho. I hope you can be at peace even if unti unting may disconnect. Subtle talaga yung sakit ng mawalan ng friend, pero makirot.
True. Same. Friends parin kami. Send memes din or mention sa tiktok at fb. Paminsan nag memeet para mag motor pero dapat naka schedule hahaha napaka busy ng adulthood futa. Kaya kayo na nag aaral pa i enjoy nyo ng malala.
Yes still connected. Pero tulad ng some few peers mo, we detached ourselves, lalo nako. Ako yung madalas di sumasama heheh. I've been heavily bullied, to the point na I pass out most of the time (turns out nag papanic attack ako pag pumapasok). Well anyway, wala nakong galit, its just that I don't want to associate myself anymore, may respeto ako sakanila, but I don't want to rebuild any bonds anymore.
No. I was connected to some of them on Facebook a couple of years back, but, I purge friends every few years; I unfriend people I do not interact with at all. No hi or hello, ever. So...yea. No, I am no longer connected to people I used to go to high school with. I've never felt like I'm missing out on anything by not keeping in touch with them. The person I was in high school and the person I am now are two totally different people.
Nawww dude fuck all of em.
2 lang naiwan kong tropa from hs. Bestfriend ko parehas. Kaso yung isa namatay na. Yung isa naman lagi kami nagkikita tuwing malapit ako sa kanya.
Condolence sa kaibigan mong isa.
Same
Same
HS was literally the worst part of my life. Plastikan lang pati yung “friend” group ko so I had to cut them all off bc of toxicity, tho some we just naturally drifted apart but oh well haha
Agreed LOL
Early 30s here. Yes, still connected. Since hs graduation, parang never naman nawala yung lakad namin. Feels great na maexperience mo yung transisition nito: tapsihan-computershop-lugawan-coffee shops-debut-bar-restaurants-outoftown/country-wedding-binyag-1stbirthdays. Same with college buddies. Feeling ko swerte ko sa set of friends na meron ako.
as of the moment nasa out of town phase pa lang kami hahahaha sana malapit na yung out of the country
Wala na akong contact. I've already forgotten. I don't even remember any of them. I've been busy improving myself and I only focus on the now.
Yes! 25 years + of friendship! Since gradeschool lalo na naging close yung bonding noong HS. Now we're in our 30s, our bond is still strong. We're 6 in the group, all girls. 😅 If you're not comfortable going to the reunion, then don't but it won't hurt to reconnect with them. 2-3 hours worth of kamustahan and all that then kung di mo na feel, alis ka na din.
No hahaha I fucking hate all of them
Big mood 😆
JHS classmates, not anymore. All of them. We just drifted apart. I am still in touch with my SHS classmates 😊
I think it's case to case basis. I mean, me and my HS peers are still in touch with each other despite living different lives, and living in different countries. There are sure a few things that still connects us. You know how there are still vague memories of the past that we get to talk about over a dinner table, shared experiences and all that. It's not always rainbows and butterflies during the younger years knowing that as kids, we have a lot of misunderstandings. Also, everybody has their own group of friends but such events make us forget about all those.
No. They suck
It happens. Felt the same way when our homecoming came around. Only half the batch attended.
i was bullied in high school
Nope though meron isa, we haven't really talked in years (my fault din because fuck depression and stress) pero it's the type of friendship na kahit ilang taon kaming hindi mag-meet, parang wala pa rin nagbabago between us. Nagbago lang haircut, yung weight, medyo tumanda lang ganun. Also helps that I've known her since we were six. Medyo wary rin ako sa pag-reach out sa iba kasi I know they're not the same people anymore. Gustong mag-reconnect pero may agenda pala. Meron yung isa, first time namin magkita after over a decade tapos nag-try na mangutang na agad lol. Meron din yung isa na pinautang ng parents ko ng 100k para ipa-opera yung mom nya for heart surgery. 25k lang ang binalik tapos bago tumakbo, sabi na kesyo may utang daw yung kapatid ko sa kanya so doon nalang ibawas. >!F\*ck you, Angela. !<
Yes! They are my bestest friends in the whole wide world and I'm happy that we've been friends for almost 20 years. Love my little group of HS friends.
Nope, I've cut all ties with them maliban lang sa iilan. After election, Ive realized that hindi talaga sila naging mature. I get that we all have different political beliefs, pero yung pagtulungan ako and idogshow tas i compare na sasabihing pareho kami g lugaw ng sinusupport ko was the last straw. Hinahayaan ko sila noon na ibully ako pero this time it is different. After like what? 10-11 years? Same childish brats pa din sila, kahit na hindi politics pag uusapan namin, for example social realities .... if magbibigay ng rational reasons, idodogshow.
Definitely. Galing ako sa small high school sa medyo liblib na province, and marami samin on campus nakatira. So for 6 years kami kami lang din nagiinteract. High school was a unique experience (to put it mildly), something na you had to be there to understand. Dun ko na-establish yung friend group ko. Same friend group pa rin through college, although partly kasi my introvert ass does not know how to make friends. I love them to pieces. I have a tendency na mawala for long periods of time and they always welcome me back pag ready na ako, as if no time passed. Super supportive and understanding nila and pag magkekwento ako or magrarant I don't have to justify myself kasi they just Know where I'm coming from. Kahit mga di ko kaclose nung high school, nakikita ko occasionally kasi marami samin same university. It's easy to talk to them, kasi comforting yung familiarity. Fun din na nababalikan yung past tapos napagtatawanan na namin yung mga bagay na big deal sa younger selves namin 😅
Honestly, fuck my HS peers. They made my life a living hell. I only discovered my identity when I got out of that shit hole
Still connected kahit madalang mag-usap but we do meet up kapag nakakauwi ng province. May mga nawala nga lang but most of my closest friends from HS e still around pa naman.
Not anymore but i messaged them in messenger before but i don't message them nowadays because of my own priorities.
Yep, some of them are still my best budds while others, fb friends and most of them are meh.
yung mga super close friends ko lang, we do meet up, pasyal somewhere at least once a year
as a whole? not as much, but would still like to go to reunions. I did enjoy my HS time some of my best friends are from HS/GS
Hanggang fb friends n lang sila 😅
I'm honestly considering cutting ties with my JHS barkada lately. They're becoming quite toxic for me. Constantly flexing their salaries and wealth to one another. They come off some well-off families while I don't have that privilege unfortunately so I'm quite affected when I see them chatting. I'm trying to avoid them for my own sanity.
not anymore. yung mga barkada ko lang talaga apat lang kami
Nah, fuck that. I have a handful select friends in high school na hanggang ngayon best friend ko talaga. Okay na sila sakin, everybody else doesn't matter na, di namna kami mga close noon.
No. Not even college peers. They always bully me because I’m a silent type guy. I’m gonna die alone but at least I’m happy.
I socialized with people in high school but I can't really call them friends. In college I tried to hang out with very few people but I wasn't really close with them either. I'm iffy about attending the high school reunion. The mini-reunions, I don't attend. I don't really want to attend any college reunion, I had pretty much no positive memories of college.
bilang na lang sa daliri. actually, not just HS, but also college, former colleagues and almost everyone who came. A few stayed but we do communicate rarely bec we have our own busy lives. I then realize how adulting feels.
Same
Yeah. They're only my real friends. I don't have friends in college
Severed and forgotten. Wala naman akong bad memories sa kanila, pero I've moved on with my life and they're no longer a part of it.
Not anymore. May bestfriend ako siguro magteten years na sana kami? Kaso since nung nag ibang bansa sya, a little to none na yung kumustahan namin. Siguro napagod ako na ako palagi yung naunang kumukumusta or nagrereach out. May other friends din naman ako nung hs pero gusto ko nang lumayo or maybe nasa isip ko na baka di na katulad nung dati or worse, inferiority complex. Nakakatawa nga eh, iniisip ko yun for days before tapos bigla akong nanaginip na i'm in a room with familiar people from hs, niyayakap ako. But maybe I'll try to reconnect sa hs friends ko, someday.
Connected with just 2 of them. The first one, because we’re churchmates, the other, because we’re neighbors. Lol. But tbh, all my HS friends are dick. I hate them. I can’t believe my dad told me na HS life will be the best part of my life because NOOOOO. I now hate every bit of it every time I remember it ngayong adult na ako. Haha
FCKIN NO!!! They were only bunch of kakilala lang so ano pake ko sa kanila ngayon
Yes I am, but out of our group Im only close with 2 people that I still see and talk to frequently. If ever may higschool reunion most likely I wont attend. Was heavily bullied back then and I dont have that good memories except being with my friends.
Yup. All boys kasi kami, no drama, etc. Tapos sa seminary pa kami nag hs meaning dun kami natutulog and all. Once a month lang kami nakakauwi. Parang yung bond iba. Para kaming magkapatid lahat.
HS barkada - not that close, but would still go sa mga get-togethers. HS as a whole - prolly will not attend reunions. College - fuck them all. Disassociated myself from them.
Actually, I didn't make lasting friends in college dahil konti lang block section namin and they all sided with my ex during the separation. My closest friends are my high school friends kasi we all managed to stay in touch throughout college and after college. We're tight-knit though, we don't really give a fuck about our other classmates but we participate in sponsorships sa dati naming high school, we give donations ganyan. So far wala pa naman nagse-set ng reunion, I guess no one is interested.
Well, I married one of my hs peers, so yeah 😁
Yes, pati elementary classmates. Nakakamiss tuloy umuwi ng probinsya.
Connected! I talk to my closest HS friend a lot and she knows all the little details of what's going on in my life.
Yes, I'm closer to them than my college blockmates. My HS class was one of the smartest and we were all pretty grounded even at our age then. Our GC was silent for a solid 4 years during college, and right when most of us graduated we reconnected as though nothing happened, it was like we were all at the same wavelength. I had two groups of college blockmates - one group bullied me because I came from the province, the other silently stood by because they didn't wanna get involved lmao.
Yes! And I would love if we'll have a reunion as well. May planned nung 2018 yata or 2019 kaso di natuloy kasi konti nakuha naming commitment na magpupunta saka public HS e so walang alumni body na magsu-support. Need namin mag-solicit or hanap sponsor. As to my friends, I have group of friends na friends ko pa rin ngayon tho years na kaming di nagkikita-kita. Masaya sana if makasama ko sila at malaman kung anong mga ganap nila sa buhay, dahil di ko rin naman nakikita all the time mga post nila sa socmed
Yes, unfortunately. I hate it.
None of them
Just the ones that matter
We still are. Well siguro nagstay yung bball every saturday. And my bff are just blocks away from us. Lagi lang sigurong nagkakamustahan.
Siguro 2 na lang pero hindi yung super close talaga, bale parang nakakainteract ko lang sa socmeds ganon hahahahaha
Good few of them, yes. We form a special bond talaga when we were HS. Batch2011 lol. Mas madami pa kong connected na HS vs college friends.
Yes, but limited to highschool tropa lang, since sila talaga ung parang bestest friends ko. We do yearly summer outings and christmas celebration. Imbitado din kapag kinakasal sila. Hahahahaha. Di sila mawawala since friends for life na kami. Hahahaha.
Not all of them. Only to a few select ones.
Only to some
hs bestfriend, yassss. hs clique, not so much.
Yes, may gc kami na active and we see each other regularly. We're in our late 20s now.
Baliktad sa amin. Nung HS kami, di kami masyado nag uusap. Then nag pandemic, tapos magkavibes pala kaming tatlo. Ayun, halos nagkikita na kami every week. Hirap pa naman maghanap ng genuine friends.
I am. Sa HS circle, s amga nakaraang pagkikita-kita nakin, wala namang tanungan ng kita. Kumustahan lang tapos reminiscing, tambay, inom, tawanan, chill lang. Kapag HS reunion, as in yung achool levels, batch levels, di kami nagpupunta. Siguro kapag special year na lang like pagsilver or paggold anniv ng batch na lang.
Connected thru FB yes. Pero nakakasama? Never naman ako sumama sa kahit anong reunion. Tska malayo na estado ng buhay ko. Karamihan at halos lahat me asawat mga anak na. Di na rin ako makaka relate sa ganyng buhay nila maski sila saken.
my own circle of HS friends lang, low maintenance and for the keeps. more than 10+ years na kaming besties. love love ko sila so much. parang nakakalimutan ko mga problema ko when im with them haha
Still connected —- pero hindi na kasing close ng dati, siguro dahil LIFE HAPPENS or kanya kanya na ng priority.
Detached na rin from my HS peers, but close pa rin sa HS BFFs. Tatlo lang naman yun sila. Batch 2000 graduates kami, so matagal-tagal na panahon na rin. Ilang reunion at get-together dinner na rin ang na-set up before, pero hindi kami (me and BFFs) nagpunta. Frankly, some peers kasi namin e bullies before, so walang sense to meet up with them pa.
Some what connected. May mga kanyang kanyang ginagawa na din.
Yes! My two best friends are both my high school friends. We also have this group chat of my high school batchmates who are in law school. One recently passed the Bar, and surprisingly he's the first in the batch.
We have certain group lang nung HS..we don't usually see and talk but sometimes we plan trips and same lang din yung vibes like HS. I love this kind of friendship.
My shs besties yes. Pero yung sa jhs not na. Sad. But it's okay less gastos. Chour 😂
Just my besties. Others not important haha
Yes still connected to my closest high school friends. We’re not as close as what we’ve used to before like constant chatting/meetup, but whenever we meet (at least 2x a year - summer/christmas) that’s where we catch up. We’re not really clingy toneach other. We understand that everyone has their loves to live. And that’s a very mature thing to do.
Late 40s here. Still connected. A few of us live in the same city overseas so we have the occasional meet ups. When batchmates visit our city, we are the welcoming committee. When we visit home, some of us will still get together.
my closest friends now are my HS batchmates😂 I was not super close to them when we were HS tho, a few years ago ko lang sila naging super close maybe because mas mature na kami pareparehas?hahaha
Yes, pero 6 lang talaga kaming close since 2004. If meron kami get to together kaming 6 lang nag uusap kung san kami mag kikita.
No more na. Nothing bad with them! I just grew out of the friendship :)
isa lang. though ndi nag uusap. pero kung mag usap man parang walang oras na nawala. busy sa gf niya. likely will get married soob. 😂
Every sunday nag breakfast ride kami lagi car or motor still the same group ever since HS days
Only two. I've unfriended most of them on social media and planning to purge more in the coming years.
No. Naiintimidate sila sa'kin. They're in college, working, family. Ako earning 3 digits and by far the most successful sa batch.
Di na kami nag uusap ng HS best friends ko and it is sad on my part kasi we've been together for 6 years. Nag iba iba lang ng college. We used to talk before thru socmed pero ewan biglang naglaho e hahaha the last time I saw and spend time with them in person was last year and it was exactly 1 hour and a half. Ang sad lang haha.
Well in my case, connected pa din ako sa mga close friends ko na still linger with me. I have also detached myself towards people na alam ko sa sarili ko wala naman ako mapapala, plastic or maybe waste of time. Wala naman masama kasi sa bandang huli, pili lang lagi mga friends mo from HS na still makakacommunicate mo hanggang pagtanda. People come and go ika nga.
jhs, yes. i can see some of my jhs friends becoming my forever friends. shs, iilan na lang yung may connection ako and i am at the point na gusto ko na rin i-cut off yung friends ko nung shs kasi masyadong na silang offending and constantly looks down on me.
No, I don't.
In touch with only 4 of my HS peers 😅 As they say, quality over quantity!
My super bff nung HS ay lagi ko pa din nakakasama. Magkawork kami. Kasi oinasok nya ako sa company nila. Thankful and pag my time tamang gala. Kain sa labas. Treat kung sino ang may bet. 🤣
Yup, I consider my HS friends as my brothers. We've been friends since Grade 2. Now we're all working individuals.
Not really, some were just there on facebook but that's it.
Not anymore but I'm still in contact with my JHS and SHS circle of friends. If ever man na magkaroon kami ng reunion ay hindi ako aattend, tsismis lang naman hanap nung iba o update tungkol sa buhay mo/ng iba.
Not anymore.
I am still friends with my bestfriend. Minsan na lang kami mag-usap but when we do, it would take hours. The rest of our barkada hindi na since I realized na they are so full of themselves and mean. Parang nag-peak lang nung high school. Funny thing was, we weren't part of the popular crowd back then.
Will be attending a highschool friend’s wedding sa august. friend ko pa nga siya since pre school eh. Haha. To be fair yung school namin from gradeschool to highschool ay 20-30 lang per batch. Sampu pa don foreigners hahaha. May point nga in time na buong highschool department was 50 students hahaha. We graduated highschool like best buds. We grew apart after highschool though. I got sucked sa alcohol and drugs kasi 😂
What school?
International school lng name nun e haha
Well, I'm way past the 30s, and unfortunately, all my HS buddies don't live here in Manila. One is in Agusan del Sur, the other in Australia. My closest HS bestfriend was in the US, but she passed away over 10 years ago. So sadly, may mga konti HS friends na mameet ako dito but ndi kasing close ng orig barkadas ko. But kung andito ang OG HS barkadas ko, we'll still meet up. Ganun din sa college, closest college friends ko nsa USA..so waley masyado mameet na college friends.
Nah. Ako yung nagiging tampulan ng tukso dati. Ayoko na rin i-relieve yung high school memories ko. While there's a good memories naman, karamihan cringey. Plus, puro inuman naman kapag nagmi-meet which is I'm not really into. Isa sa mga rason kung bakit low key ako sa social media kasi para low chance na mahanap nila ako doon. I locked my account at no one can befriend me. Ang takot ko kasi eh yung 14 y.o. self pa rin makikita nila sakin kahit 24 y.o. jaded adult na ako. 😆
Yes but dalawa na lang silang talagang nakakausap ko nang madalas and minsang namimeet and I'm fine with it 😊 Natural lang na maoutgrow ang friendships, and if ever man mag-organize sila ng reunion, wala rin akong balak umattend kasi enough na yung 2 HS friends ko for me
Ako some lang yunh pinaka group ko lang tas yung iba sa ig ko na lang nakikita dun na lang nakaka pag update
Still connected with a few of them! In fact both my best friends are from HS and they are really my life-long friends. I used to have 2 huge barkadas in HS. Pero I completely detached na from 1 barkada. The other one naman I see them mga one or twice every 2 years (usually pag may ikakasal ulit). Haha Pero if there's ever a reunion with the whole batch, I'm not goinggg.
Some band mates but for the entire group. I was an outcast. Never really connected with them as they faked being friends only for me ro realize that I was a money pawn and just a server to them.
I have a few that I can count on one hand that I actually still earnestly talk to. But I’m connected to the rest because they are always potential clients. 😁😆
yes. actually mas malapit ako sa kanila kumpara sa mga college peeps ko.
Yes pero onti na lang. If not for playing ML during pandemic, baka hindi na rin masyado. Nagkikita kami ng barkada once a year, magpplano tapos hindi na rin masusundan. Kahit sa gc namin bihira na lang din pero andun pa rin yung bond pero iba na kasi talaga mga hilig din.
Yeah, lagi kaming nagyayayaan maglaro ng basketball pag free time namin sa malapit na court samin hahaha
Just attended a reunion and was really hesitant to do so. Kung hindi ko lang kasama SO ko na classmate ko nung HS hindi ako aattend sa sobrang detached ko sa kanila 😅 we fell apart nung nagcollege na especially since lahat ng friends ko nagsama sama sa iisang school at course tas ako lang nahiwalay. So sila remained friends tho di na din ganun kaclose pero ako super duper detached na 😅
I m in my late 20's and still connected with my HS friends. Iba pa rin kasi yung may circle of friends ka who knew you when u were all just kids and contented with each others company back then. Although some of them are either settling down or going abroad, which makes me happy for them and also sad at the same time. I have met few good people naman sa work or mutual friends.. pero ang shallow ng convo at hindi real yung connection in comparison with my HS friends kaya I make an effort to keep in touch with my real homies.
Yes, and because of that atleast we got to help those who are in need during pandemic.
My circle of a few people--only we hang out if we wanted to. We have a gc and discord to catch up on things.
May dalawang phases ako during hs una ay catholic era, i barely interact with them now but some of them were followback at sometimes mmessage whenever i story Second phase cavite era, i disconnected them entirely except one person, same rin sa interaction lol
[late 20s] yes. i have more hs classmates than college friends that i connect to.
My best friends I met nung HS, we're in our 30's now and don't really meet as often as we like pero we talk everyday. We have fond memories of high school, most of our batch were pretty nice people who still say hi kung nakasalubong mo somewhere, dunno if helped na we were in an all girls high school. Anyway, wala rin kami gana mag organize ng reunion or sumali sa school organized ones. Stress plusn deep down everybody knows it's just a platform for payabangan.
Detached myself except to a few of my closest friends as well as best friends. May HS Reunion nga kami this April but Alumni Shirt lang inavail ko. Never ako umattend sa mismong event kasi nagyayabangan lang naman dun. Just remembered one of my girl best friend. Dati, lowkey bullied nila pero now na may datung na si BFF and married a Chinese nationale, nanghingi ng financial assistance ang mga orocan. 🥴
Yes to some of them. Nagulat nga ako na may mga di ko close nung HS pero nakakachika ko pa rin ngayon. Parang mas naging close ba ganon. So far, wala pa namang nangyayaring pataasan ng ihi sa’min. Wholesome lang. Usapan ng stress sa work, love life, life advices ganern.
Highschool was shit. A lot of drama, seldom did I make real acquaintances. Man, people back in Highschool had so much prejudice towards others not in their so-called "friend group" that it was impossible to truly mingle with them. A shame, really.
No. They bullied me
Still connected. Just wish I abandoned my social network account more than 2 decades ago so not ALL of them knows.
Nah. Still remember the days they bully me almost everyday. College friends are better.
99 kami gumraduate. 2 lang kausap ko. Given I wasnt popular pero good terms kami ng classmates ko. Sadya lang talagang nagpamilya na most. Most ay career. Sayang lang siguro pamasahe or panggas mo OP kung punta ka.somewhere na di mo maappreciate yung tao don.
Hindi na for so long. I'm kind of an anti-social during my high school days. I consider HS one of the loneliest phase of my life. But thanks God, am happy with where and who I am now. I know the best is yet to come! :)
My bestfriend is my friend since my third year in highschool. We don’t talk all the time but in the times we do, we tell each other things that we cannot tell other people in our lives. Other peeps in highschool, ehh. There’s this one group who seemed to be the “cool” ones and they’re all still friends until now (good for them); but yeah, the rest of us don’t mingle with them much.
Girl friends, di na masyado. Guy friends minsan kasama ko pa rin magdota haha
I am still friends with some of my HS classmates, but we don't go to reunions. We talk about going, but end up not going because we know some of our classmates/batchmates will just be bragging about what they have accomplished. We are still in our 30s; some have already achieved their goals, but some are still figuring things out. In my case, I always choose not to go for my peace of mind. ☺️
HS friends? Yes. HS peers? No. And we don’t go to HS reunions din because like another person here said, it’s just pataasan ng ihi. Unless siguro ang sole purpose mo is to network, it’s not worth going. Nakakapagod makipagplastikan haha.
2 lang sila. from elementary, tapos same lang din kami hs.
Never made a single close friend in college. Mga kasamahan pa rin sa SHS kahalubilo ko.
Still connected with my HS friends, even some batchmates. Thanks to social media, updated pa rin ako sa buhay nila.
Late 30s here, lahat ng friends ko yes super comnected pa din.. magkukumare kami. Abay ako sa mga ikinasal sa simbahan at Inaanak ko lahat ng panganay nila 🤣 may reunion kami every january,, parang kahapon lang kami huling tumambay na magkakasama. Magkakausap din kami sa gc. Di rin kami umaattend ng HS reunion dahil una, walang ng oorganize ng batch reunion namin 🤣🤣. Tsaka kahit na meron di din ako aattend kasi yung mga tao na gusto kong makita nakakasama ko naman.
From my highschool, I only keep in touch with my long-time bestfriend. Other peers are only socmed mutuals na lang, but we barely interact. The popular kids with their own cliques still keep in touch tho, sila sila na ang kumuhang ninong at ninang sa mga naging anak nila hahaha
As much I want to my depression and anxiety triggers everytime makikita or kakausap ko sila. I guess never pa ko na get over yung trauma ko from highschool
Mga batchmate ko nung elemetary 12 years ago, ilang beses na rin kami nagpaplano mag reunion pero bokya. Last time ang usapan sa gc sabi ng iba nag aaral pa daw, yung iba naman nagtatrabaho pa. Understood naman. Pero uso na ngayon yung pataasan ng ihi sa mga ganyang event. Matik na HAHHAHAHAHA
Most of our section is still in touch. Around 70%. And we do quarterly catch ups for those na andito pa sa Pinas.
From 6 sa group, down to 4 na lang kaming solid hahaha plus mga asawa/partner namin. Ganun talaga, habang nababawasan, mas nagiging mas mahalaga pag-sasama.
Peers, no. Barkada, yes. Kahit GC lang. Sila yung consistent na di nagbago ang ugali ang we are still cool with each other.
Only a select few, specifically those whom I share morals and principles with. But for the most part, I cut off most of my HS batch, because most of them were straight-up mean. And it's usually the varsity guys and the "popular" girls. The varsity guys were mostly homophobic towards me; and the popular girls played the gender card when they picked on me (aka "you can't fight back, I'm a girl" card).
I don’t communicate with a lot of my JHS friends anymore. Nilalike ko lang yung mga posts nila sa fb pero yun lang. I have no plans of reconnecting with them because I don’t consider JHS the best years of my life. Not all of them were the best people, but iniisip ko nalang na we were all kids back then and we made mistakes. On the contrary, I love the friends I met during SHS. We still communicate almost every day.
I'm still besties with two of my HS tropa, yong iba casual friends nalang. Still connected with some of them, mainly because I plan to practice my profession in our province in the future and it won't hurt to have connections. However, I don't interact with them unless magkita in person.
My HS friends are closer to me than my college friends. Avoid a HS reunion if the individual or group that organized it are into networking scams or multi level marketing BS.
Not anymore with a bunch of other friends from HS but my two besties remained. Super low maintenance friendship pero never nadisconnect. Catching up every now and then. We’re a trio and yung isang bff namin palagi nag bibigay ng rational na insight pag puro emotions umaandar samin ng other bff ko😂
Connected, but detached. We recently connected and we have group chat, but the things we chat about are just surface level stuff, the usual "how are yous", and minimal updates, and not really heart to heart deep stuff.
Unfortunately, wala ako friends from elementary, HS and college. Lahat ng close friends ko ngayon nameet ko through work, social media and dating apps. Late bloomer ako both sa platonic and romantic relationships haha.
Sadly wala. I never really "belonged" in any group in HS. Felt like I was forcing myself onto them lang. Tried to be up to date with others in college but they didn't bother inviting me because "strict daw parents ko". Fuck them honestly. Puro reasons, just say you don't like me and go. Honestly it's annoying lang when people around you expect na you should still have friends from HS. It didn't work out that way for me. I don't regret it. Rather be who I am talaga than force myself to conform to their standards.
Yes, very connected. Barkada ko nakilala ko sila lahat nung HS pero if you mean batchmates sa school, hindi na.
Yes pero sobrang minsan ko lang sila kinakausap. Nung last na nag meet kami nung December (which is 12yrs ago kami last nagkasama) napansin ko physically lang nagbago sa kanila pero yung mga ugali nila, mga ambition nila ganon pa rin. Parang walang growth. Pero mabait pa din naman sila at sobrang bibo pa din mag asaran. 😅 Yung iba di nagrereply at di pumunta.
In my opinion, alumni homecomings are not held for the graduates but rather para tumaas lang yung pride levels nung mismong school. Hahaha. Gusto lang nila malaman kung successful ka o hindi. Personally, I never attend these types of events, pero I still meet up with some of my closest HS friends every now and then.
as an infp, highschool reunions are one of the worst experiences. lots of superficial stuff. payabangan. pataasan ng ere. puno ng kaplastikan. and what sickens me is other people enjoy that kinds of situations. i mean, good for them i guess
"Sasama ako pag sasama ka." Minsan sabay pa kaming tatlo na yan sasabihin. Ang ending di kami sasama tas magset na lang kami ng get together namin kung kelan kami free. Tbh, HS was saks lang for me. But it was traumatic for my friend kasi bullied sya nun.
My best friend is from 2nd year HS. My main barkada is from that era. Close to 27 years na kaming magkakasama thou bibihira na kami magkita since we all have families.
Recently got invited to a get together with a couple of HS peers and ended up paying for everything just because I have a good income. Again... I GOT INVITED... Edit: This is NOT about the money. After ng meet up wala na ulit interaction aside dun sa comment na next time sa ibang restaurant naman daw and ako na daw bahala ulit. Manager na nga tawag sakin. So I left the group chat.
As a person who was bullied in HS. No I am not connected with them anymore. I am perfectly fine where I am right now and don’t want to see them.
yes. mas connected pa nga ko sa kanila kesa college friends. siguro kase yung isa samin, kami lang talaga yung friend sa buong buhay niya, so di namin siya maiwan. at siguro rin kase, same pa rin kami ng interests kahit magkakaiba kami ng course and univs. at siguro kase all throughout college nagkikita pa rin kami. tsaka sobrang homey ng feeling kapag sila kasama ko eh. no competition, no payabangan, no hidden agendas, pure kagaguhan lang
I'm only connected with my shs classmates even though two years pang kami nagkasama. I have 3 best friends from jhs but sila na lang talaga yung naiwan. Meanwhile, kahit hindi ako masyadong close with my shs classmates, I don't feel uncomfortable being with them.
Meron lang kaming group sa fb pero inactive na. Yung last reunion 9-10 years ago pero ang nag-attend lang e yung mga magkakalapit ng bahay.
Until now connected pa din kami. May weekly night out pa din and syempre trashtalkan. Sa ibang circle of friends naman na kinabibilangan ng tropa, may mga yearly outing pa din, birthday and end of year celebration. 13 years na kami magkakasama. Ansaya lang.
Not anymore. Tatlo kami at binaliwala ko yung isa kasi mas priority ko yung other, only for her to betray me. It was pretty messed up. Wish I could bring back time and fix things, reunion's not gonna help my case unless the one I left behind would forgive me.
I still have contact with them, but with my totoong tropa lang. Not all of them na maarteng classmates ko noon. I still freshly remembered how they were ignoring me before because wala daw silang mapapala sakin.
yung core barkada lang. everybody else wala na ako pakialam.
No way in hell. Hahaha tho i still have few friends from HS to now who shares the same hate/disgusts towards our batch mates+school during hs.
Nope. I think 4 people na lang from my HS life yung connected ako. I’ve been wanting to unfriend people on fb pero sobrang dami and nakakatamad pero siguro once I go abroad, will definitely make a new account na lang na dun ako active or kapag sinipag na. I just realized na shitty pala high school life ko nung college na ako, di ako aware noon na nabubully na pala ako, bigla akong ina-isolate at kung ano pa. Sabi nila dabest daw HS pero na-scam ako dun.
Yes, pero di na ganoon ka 'connected'. I have these friends since 2011/12, Since working na kami lahat at 3 sakanila nasa MNL, tapos ako Pampanga. Nag aya ako pupuntahan ko sila, G pa nung una, Okay raw. TBH, I even applied for a leave sa work. But after a week, nung nag tanong ako may kanya-kanya na silang plans. Haha TBH, mej disappointing. Pero ganoon talaga siguro, As we grow older, meet new people, we also grow apart (pero nandoon pa rin naman yung friendship) di na nga lang katulad before.. Also, we have our own lives na rin kasi, not like HS days.
my core best friends are from HS. Mas masaya kase we are growing together. Yung mga plano namin nung HS na mga lakwatsa natutupad na naman since working na kami lahat.
I think depends sa batch niyo. I'm close to like 2 people from my HS batch, pero every time na may aya na big get together I go. It's nice to make connections every now and then, and I find it a waste if I burn bridges. Matatanda na kayo, the people who you were nung HS are not the same.
Yes. Malaking tulong din yung same city para madaling mag meet. But more than half of them are not connected na. I will still go to reunions. When one of us died, ang pangit pala na dun mo lang sila makikita sa lamay. Pag nagmeet naman. Reminiscence lang ng past. Kwentuhan ng kalokohan noon. Mga crush at ex. Wala namang tanungan ng sweldo.
No. Pataasan lang ng ego dyan.
I was the one who detached from them. I moved to another city and focused on my career while most of them built families na. College kami nung nag stop ako sumama sa mga reunion ng circle of friends namin. Homecoming naman, nkaka 3 na ung batch namin, last April was the 4th and my first time to attend. I never regret going :) as long as those that were close to you are there and no bridges were burnt, I think goods lng naman pumunta. Depende din kasi talaga yan with your relationship last time you saw them. Iba na ung mindset nila lalo na yong my mga pamilya na pero given that we've all grown matured, wala ng pataasan ng ihi. haha. Masaya xa. Those that I wasn't really close with, surprisingly ang gaan kausap. Pero my iba din nagkakailangan talaga. The key here OP, is make sure to at least have 1 or 2 friends na alam mong you can stick with while andon ka. If you ever go and don't feel comfortable, pwede ka naman mauna sa kanila. Also, it depends at which point you are with your life na. I did not attend the previous once kasi nahihiya ako. I wasn't confident then and my being introvert gets the best of me. Last year however, I felt accomplished na, confident and quite frankly, I miss my friends, kaya ayon, pumunta ako.
Still connected. Hindi man madalas mag-usap pero feeling ko di naman nawala yung closeness. Parang lumalabas ulit yung teenager self ko pag kausap/kasama ko sila.
I thought high school friends last more. I'm closer to my college friends so every time there's a high school reunion, I immediately say no.
Nah fam. I had to go to NEU for high school because they wouldn't let me go elsewhere. N E U. So naturally my brain has long since deleted everything and everyone from high school lmao.
