They flew in from all over the world. Raj from New York, David from Shanghai, Chew from Singapore. Raj had business in Manila but basically, they wanted to meet up with us, their former classmates in grad school at Philly.
Greg texted me early this morning asking me to join him and wife Zsa Zsa at Manila Pen to meet 3 of our former Philly school mates with whom we had 2 years of unforgettable experiences.
I was eager to go but some work kept me busy till past 3 PM. As soon as that was out of the way, I called Greg and he said yes, come over since they were all still talking at the lobby. Hubby drove me there, accompanied by C2 and M1. They went off to kill time at nearby Ayala Center.
These guys have not changed! Chew, with Russel Reynolds Associates (a headhunter company), could still talk up a storm! Chew was especially close to me and my Pinay roommate (actually…closer to her, if you know what I mean). But whenever he was around, Chew would regale us with all sorts of stories. He had a wide range of discussion topics, from the inane to the cerebral. Humor was aplenty. And his calligraphic talents somehow influenced me to begin writing poetry using a real calligraphy pen.
