Bowling with the past

Just had a good evening of clean fun yesterday. Met up with a high school batchmate and friend Ronnie at Festival Mall at his invitation for dinner and fun which he's treating for those who made it for this little gathering. The ones who heeded the call were me, Rem, Reuel, Rico. Ronnie brought his brother Jon with him along for the festivities.

We linked up in good time and got to the dinner portion at this pizza and pasta place at Reuel suggestion based on Ronnie specifications. I didn't recall the name of the place we went to but its still in Festival Mall, opposite the Starbucks over there.
While having dinner, parts of the conversation were about some things on the status of some high school batchmates, the high school we graduated from, changes from those days to now and mention of Ronnie's marital woes which he's sticking it out for the sake of his kids.

Listening to Ronnie's marital woes and other tales of parenting pretty much got Rem a round of ribbing from Ronnie since Rem has a girlfriend currently. Listening to what Ron was saying about his marital concerns were an eye-opener for us at the table.

After a round of talking and dinner, we trooped over to Gameworx in the uppermost floor of Festival Mall and voted on going for bowling.

I played a game of bowling before, back around 1998. I went with it and realized now that I pretty much sucked at it. I can attribute it to a number of things but it still comes to it that I'm not in decent form to play a good game. All in all it was an evening of good clean fun.

That evening was a moment of reacquainting some things about the past immediate and way back, thoughts of some things. I had to digest this new round of info based on a few observations and interaction with high school friends.
