Easy to Forget, Difficult to Remember

I always misplace important and petty things at home. It takes me fifteen minutes or more to remember where i put my keys, wallet and mobile phone. Thank God I am not yet wearing any spectacles!

On the contrary, I never forget people. Its easy for me to forget things but difficult to forget people. Two days ago, I was talking to an old friend whom I have not seen since high school graduation. He was kind of worried that he will not be recognized if he attends the reunion. I told him not to worry because we will be putting name tags unlike the reunion last December.

I shared to him that one batchmate of ours almost walk out on us as he entered the dining hall  because we can hardly remember his name (except me, ofcourse). He came back after he was convinced to stay by another batchmate of ours.

After rounds of Jack Daniels, video singko singing, laughing and photo ops, we were reacquainted with another. He even became the life of the party which was very unlikely of him to be one as we have known him in high school.

Our conversation ended with a promise that on the next get together, he will give his presence and "presents" because according to him: "I'm sort of some kind na ngayon hehehe!!!"
