Tri-State Tales Tinged by Patis

Did you ever have a classmate like I did with Dulce?

Dulce was my classmate for a couple of years in FEU. Because
of the inherent ease of arranging the class in alphabetical order, Dulce Afante
was right there besides me, and just after was Joy Aganon.

Dulce was a nice, sweet gal. I cannot truthfully say that I
knew her really well. I guess that just speaks volumes of how socially inept I
was, having the same seat mate for a couple of years and still not making
conversation, but I digress.

Funny enough, not only was she a few feet away from me, we
even lived a few houses away from each other. Imagine that, on the same row of
houses on Callejon-H Street lived my classmate … yet; I still did not know much
of her beyond that.

Graduation came and went, so off to our respective lives
Dulce and I went. Fast track to 2006, and Friendster as usual throws a
curveball at me.

Dulce had gone to Canada, and is married, to boot! I guess I
should not really be surprised, life did go on for all of us in the last seven
years since college graduation, but I guess the leap from my diminutive next
door neighbor slash classmate to happily married woman residing in Canada.

Congratulations are in order, of course, and it goes out to
Dulce and her spouse.

But it makes me think: what else has transpired in the lives
of the acquaintances I have made in the past near-three decades, what quirks
and quandaries have they found them selves in, how rich and interesting their
lives have become?

Sadly, I guess will not learn them all. In the same way I
guess, a lot of people know not what is going on in my life and family with
Consie.

Still, it was good to hear from you Dulce! Hope all is well!
