UST High
School Batch 80 Holds Virtual Global Reunion
Another first; a virtual
experiment that turned into a roaring success, actually!
The irrepressible Class of
USTHS80 once
again found new way to globally connect with one another and
bring the flavor of home to members overseas, learn of them and
their new lives in their new settings. On June 30, 2007
(July 1, Manila time), forty plus batchmates in New Jersey were
joined by another 20+ bodies in Quezon City and individual
connections from Canada, New Zealand, California, Nevada and
Bacolod. This set the stage for a first real time global
reunion in USTHS history.
The plan was simple and
brilliant. Technology aids with YM connections,
integrating
them in organized parties in set locations where members gather
and where those scattered all over the continents can easily tap
in, relay messages and watch their friends excitedly make
signals, communicate, pose, and have fun. Homesickness and
camaraderie cover all glitches and laughter score more hits than
technical hitches.
The confluence of goodwill to
launch this event is in itself a
story. Proudly, every member who gave of their time,
effort, service and enthusiasm walked out of those events
knowing they made sweet history without really trying.
Sometimes true success comes from simple enthusiasm and
selflessness.
To Class 80 – behold the
