We started our high school in 1981 and graduated in 1985. Those were the greatest moments in our teenage lives. Those were the times when Menudo band came to perform in Manila whose one of its members was linked to our very own Miss Saigon; when the Bagets stars were very popular and most of the youngsters were imitating their style and looks; when we still looked the same as the bagets and not 'the begats' as now (LOL!); when everyone was in a hurry to get home just to watch the TV shows Flordeluna, Eat Bulaga and That�s Entertainment; when computers began to become popular; when Rubik's cube became famous pastime game; when almost every kid owned a BMX bike; when pedicabs were first shown in our hometown; when 50 centavos was enough for snacks during recess time in school; when Betamax & VHS were popular; when music was great like the groundbreaking Thriller of Michael Jackson, back when he was still cool. Have you heard this song-We Are The World? A song recorded in the 80's by famous singers tagged as USA for Africa. Whenever we hear a certain song, we can usually relate it to some events in our lives. If we could turn back the moments we had then maybe we would, our charms would never die. The older we get the harder those moments to let go.

Every batch of students in school can claim a certain special attachment to their moments, but the NDA Batch �85 moments were the best times in the 80�s, that had style and dissolution that were unmatched, and absolute explosion from beginning to end.
