"Growing up is never easy. You hold on to things that were. You wonder what's to come. But that night, I think we knew it was time to let go of what had been, and look ahead to what would be. Other days. New days. Days to come. The thing is, we didn't have to hate each other for getting older. We just had to forgive ourselves... for growing up.” - The Wonder Years
Ever wondered how your friends from Pre-School to High School would look like after 5, 10 or 30 years?
Wala akong magawa, so out of nowhere, naisipan ko lang maghanap hanap ng picture sa Facebook and sa hindi inaasahang pagkakataon, nakita ko ang ilang mga litratong napaglumaan na ng panahon.
It's just so amazing how people used to look like losers and they end up today looking like the next most gorgeous woman on earth or the yummiest hunk ever created.
From a friend's Facebook account, I found these photos and look how young girls and guys turned from ugly duckling into beautiful swans:
This was taken from our Sophomore's Acquaintance party. We were 14 Years of age then, look at them now:
Charisse is already married with her longtime boyfriend Junjun and they now have their own kid.
Majoh is now a registered nurse in one of Laguna's top rated hospitals.
Che has just recently got her license, also as a registered nurse.
This one was also taken way back from our Sophomore years, during our Acquaintance party:
Jeanal also currently works as a registered nurse at one of Laguna's known hospitals.
Krissie just recently got hired as a Telemarketing Account Officer in a mobile content producing company.
Ernest has been with one of the top Call Center companies in the Philippines and works there as a Software Engineer since the year 2008.
Along with other boys, this photo was also taken in the same party of our Sophomore year.
Joseph worked as a Barista in Starbucks Greenhills after college graduation and as of today, nobody knows where he really works. All they know is that everytime he appears to reunions, he always have the latest phone with him.
Michael is currently working as a Marine Engineer who travels all over the world.

Nakakatuwang isipin, parang kelan lang, nagkokopyahan lang kayo pag' may exam. Parang kelan lang, nagkakaaway away at nagiiyakan pa kayo dahil sa ilang mga project na hindi nyo' alam kung paano tatapusin. At parang kelan lang, sabay sabay nyong' inihagis ang white graduation cap nyo' as a sign na natapos nyo' ang kalagitnaan ng phase ng pag-aaral.
Parang kelan lang.
At nakakatuwang isipin pa, na sa paglipas nang panahon..ibang transformation naman ang magaganap. Ibang looks, ibang style, ibang trabaho, ibang societal class na ang makikita mo.. ang hindi lang nag-iiba ay ang bond. Bond of friendship na kahit noong High School nagsimula, hanggang ngayon.. hindi pa rin nawawala.

At hindi nako magdadrama kasi baka sabihin nyo' ang korny ko na.
I just wonder, ano naman kaya ang susunod na transformation???
