I've just been attended my high school friend's wedding... I took my wife and my daughter,its like reunion and thats really fun to met my old friends there, they a lot different looks than was in high school, we started to chat and joking like we were and suddenly Im realized that we're not young anymore, we had our wife and childs and maybe different in business. Life must go on even we cannot spent a lot of time like it was, but I will not forget our friendships and all the memories in it.

I like this cute line associated with growing old: "You know you're getting older when you're idea of a Happy Hour is taking a nap." :D I'm 23 and a college graduate, and I sometimes feel grown up when I feel the pressures of having a job, paying the bills and being responsible for a lot of things. I also had a lot of batchmates starting their own families. Whenever I see high school giggly girls at the mall, I said to myself, "that used to be me.." then I realized I'm not getting younger. Life is short, we have to make the most out of it. ;)

yes, very pleasant memories during school. we are always able to live freely without load. playing with friends. Now all of living memory, and now life is different. each has his own life. with different jobs and have children and wives. but it never hurts to remember those times reoni school. to eliminate the stress of responsibility.

It has been 22 years since I left school. When I left school to begin working, most of my friends at the time stayed to further their studies so we drifted apart socially. After about two years, I never saw any of them again. It has only been since being on Facebook that I have re-connected with some of them and only last year that I met a couple of them face to face again after all these years as I travelled through where they live now. I too have moved away from where I grew up, so the opportunity to see some of these people is not that easy. There are many others that I do want to find again, but have not been able to on Facebook yet. I will keep trying over time though as more people join the site!
