This is a prequel(?) to "Reunion." The two stories are connected but each one may be read on its own without reading the other. You may or may not read both. But if you plan to read both, read Reunion first. Or whatever. Anyway, enjoy reading "Introduction." Related Link: Read REUNION First Day of ClassesJune 2, 2008, MondayClassroom Caloy: "Good morning! I am Haechan Carlos Jose. You may call me Carlos or Caloy. My favorite subjects are Math and English. I do not really have a hobby but I love singing and playing the piano." Migz: "OY! Perfect. Jose Mari Haechan pala yan. Kanta ka sa Christmas Party ha." Caloy darts Migz with an annoyed look. He picks up his pen and almost throws it. But he is interrupted... Ms Kim: "Dahil maingay ka, transer here in front. Introduce yourself next." Migz excitedly gathers his things and takes his spot next to Carlos. Migz: "Hi, seatmate! Hi, classmates! I am Mark Miguel Lee. Migz na lang. Wala akong favorite subject kasi magaling ako sa lahat. My hobbies are chess and playing video games." Caloy rolls his eyes. "YABANG!"

Reunion
"Hey!" Migz calls on Caloy. Caloy pretends to ignore him. James tells Caloy. "Kausapin mo na. It's time. Close kayo ni Mama niya pero siya mismo di mo kinakausap. Pati mga kapatid niya lagi mong kinakamusta. Usap lang." It's December and they are at Migz's house for their annual class reunion. Caloy never misses their reunions but it's always a little bit awkward because Migz and Caloy have not spoken a word to each other ever since Caloy blocked Migz on social media when they were in first-year college. It has been 10 years. And Caloy feels he should be a little less petty. "Okay, sige na nga. Pag lumapit ulit, kakausapin ko na," he tells James. James goes to Migz, "Lapitan mo na." James hands over a glass of whiskey to Migz, "give him this para kausapin ka. Wag mo kasi asarin." "Oy! Grabe to. Usap na kasi tayo." Migz approaches Caloy again, handing him the glass of whiskey. "Unblock mo na kasi ako." Migz asks Caloy. Caloy retorts "Bakit kasi ang hilig mo akong asarin? Magme-message ka bigla para lang mang-asar. Alam mo naman pikon ako." Migz answers, "Ayaw mo kasi ako pansinin. Lahat na ginawa ko, di…
Dear Love 08.22.2022
Dear Love, It's me again. I just wanted to write today. I have been meaning to do something. I never thought I would seriously consider it. I never did. You know me. I know I will not be good at it or the best at it, I do not even try. But this time... I want to do it. Like think about it everyday kind of want. I do not have a good enough reason other than the thought would not leave my mind. And though it scares me, it excites me and makes me think I should have tried it a long time ago. Will you jump in with me? I need you there. Will you smile and be proud of me? Are you going to tell me I did well even if I end up being mediocre? As I write this, I am listening to songs that remind me of days when I was a little bit more confident. When I thought I was the best and infallible. When I did not have plans but it did not matter because I was smart and good at almost everything. The songs also remind me of the days that inspire…
NCT 127 Chill Playlist
Happy 127 Day, NCTzens! It is January 27 (0127) and it is a special day for NCT 127 and NCTzens. To celebrate this day, 127 is sharing their own playlists via the NCT 127 Youtube Channel. Taking their cue, I am sharing also a few of my favorite 127 songs. Specifically, these are songs that I love to listen to on days when I want to just chill and relax. Hope you enjoy my NCT 127 Chill Playlist recommendations. About 127 NCT 127 is the first fixed unit of NCT (Neo Culture Technology), a KPop boy group managed by SM Entertainment. NCT 127 Favorite.BUY the album. NCT's concept is quite uhmmm... complicated to explain. Just think of them as an unlimited boy group composed of multiple units with different concepts. Some of these units have a specific city "home base" where they do most of their activities and promotions. NCT 127 is based in Seoul, Korea and 127 is the longitude of Seoul. They currently have 9 active members and 1 inactive member. 127 debuted in 2016 with "Fire Truck," an energetic and powerful hip-hop song. I mention this because Fire Truck, along with all of 127's succeeding title tracks…
