This Is Why I Avoid Batch Reunions

Natry ko na makipag reunion one time. After nun I decided na to join na. Wala naman pangit na ngyari nun but Same reason ng sayo. Haha. Habang tumatanda ako I prefer having small talks or chit chat naman sa mga a few people na lng then I prefer na din na mag rest na lng sa bahay then labas pahangin

We have an alumni next year at excited Nako madam. President panga Ako ng section namin Kasi Ang daldal ko sa gc dahil Yung first honorable mention namin before idol ko sa pagsusulat script writer Kasi sya sa abs tapos ayon hahahaha.

Yes, you are right. People have a tendency to show off before their friends and batch mates in the occasion. They thinks they are doing something great but actually they are ruining the programme.

Di ko naga adto ug reunion namo, kay di ko ganahan, tapos inom lang man pod daghan☺️, mahihirapan din ako pag may nagtanong kung among work mo, tapos madami pang questions to follow😆.

I am not fond of going to reunions too Ate, except with my best friends. I understand how you feel ate. Yes, I am a teacher already and have a stable job but I still, feel some insecurities too. My classmates have their own family and aside from that sobrang stable narin nila sa life, having some properties, savings, and cars and etc. Ang layo narin tallaga ng narating nila, pero ako until now, I am stuck with my family related problems (me as a breadwinner), no savings, no properties and etc. But of course ate, I am still positive that someday everything is worth it, ngayon I am satisfied that I making my family happy and provide all their needs, maybe someday, ako naman, sarili ko naman :)

I stopped attending high school batch reunions. the last time they had a reunion, I went to Japan instead. hahaha!

I love going to reunion sayang nga at di ako makakaattend at Grand Alumni sa school namin sa May. I take the opportunity kasi minsan ko lang ulit sila makita. Andami kong kabatch na nasa abroad, laging nagttravel saka as in malayo na ang narating kahit noon pa man wala pa ako dito at dumaan din ako sa point na sobrang kakadown pero I realize may kanya kanya talaga tayong time and not all we see is just it. Saka yung hiya dadting yung point na nawawala. Di naman sa kakapal bigla yung mukha pero confidence level tataas yan.

Same situation. Kaya nga hindi na ako nagbubukas ng fb. Hindi na ako nagbubukas ng gc ng mga kabatch ko. Feeling ko ang layo nila. Hindi na ako makasabay sa usapan tungkol sa nga achievements na naabot na nila. Mahiyain naman talaga ako dati pa dahil introvert ako pero mas nafeel ko na parang hindi na talaga ako kasali sa kanila. Wala akong magandang maisishare sa kanila. Kahit mga post nila ayaw ko ng makita kasi naicocompare ko lang sarili ko at mas lalo lang akong nalulungkot. Kahit yung pinakaclose ko nilayuan ko na. Bakit ka pupunta kung hindi ka naman magiging masaya dun? Magdadagdagan lang ang panliliit sa sarili kasi panigurado ang topic nila about na sa mga achievements nila. At siguro kahit pa may naabot ako hindi pa rin ako dadalo sa mga gatherings, hindi talaga ako sanay.

I find any reunions not really worth going to because of the social status thing. The theme is all about it. I guess I would think they lighten up some as the years are tallied. But I believe if we have never been and even decided to go when we're old and gray the first question from someone will be status related. If we want to reconnect with friends it should be easy, not having to do so in front of many of are other peers.

Only reunion I'll attend is a family reunion. Why share what we have done or where we are at in our social status. Ultimately isn't it more important on who we are as a person rather than what we stacked up along the way? A question ponders would you want to be remembered as someone with great attributes as a person or someone who just lived a wealthy life?

I like reunion madame since its one way for me to reconnect with my old buddies. I have a high school bestfriend, malapit lang naman bahay namin but since we both have our own family we only meet occasionally... But yes I agree that others would attend such lalo na yung may ibubuga to brag but for me its okay. Its always fine to brag naman it would be how the receiver might take it.... Sometimes people may sound like bragging pero masaya lang pala sila sa achievements nila.

Another reason to attend such is to make connections. If you are someone who is business minded you will get curious and keep in touch with those who has the same goals... ☺️

Same here madam, I never attended batch reunions. Nahihiya ako. Kai baka maging topic ako ng usapan.

I remember one time, nag apply ako as factory worker then it so happen na one of my classmates work there as an executive. Upon interview, sinabi nya sa akin in exact words, "Ikaw yung pinakamatalino sa atin pero bakit yan lang narating mo".

Gusto kong lamunin na ako ng lupa sa sobrang kahihiyan that time. Sobrang nanliit ako to the point na gusto ko na umiyak pero i just smile then never return to that place though I received a call na hired ako.

Just like my reasons why I avoided everyone inviting me to go here or there like a get together chenes, number one talaga shyness ee. Kahit pa we've been with those people for many years before, di na maiwasan na mahihiya or what. Hirap pigilan.

Inana gayud ang mga reunions madam nuh maong daghan dili muadto tungod anang mga social status kanang makumpara nimu imung life sa ila.

Meron din kami madam ngaun sabado de gloria, pero not attending ako kasi nga andito kapatid ni partner galing abroad at aalis na this coming monday dahil 10day vacay lng sya, alangan naman lumayas pa ako at bitbit ang batuta ko.

Well, we just had one last March 25.. it was fun. I'm actually thinking of posting our trip on that day. At first I was hesitant kay they're all big time.. same kaayo tag feelings, feeling small jud everytime maghisgot about life, wala koy dako nga ikashare .. lami ilang life while struggle ang akoa..hahah!

In whole batch, we love to sit and chitchat with them. Hence, I am fond of Batch reunion.

Batch reunion is an event where everyone has to brag what they've achieve and what they've become 😆 It's kinda off.. good thing I didn't graduate so I don't have formal batch mates hahahaha
