I just got my batch ring!

Ice Burn

Senior year has finally sunk in. I just received my batch ring. The damned thing didn't come cheap, kaso I had to get one kasi magiging collector's item ang ateneo batch 2000 ring. I'm a sucker for such things. Sheesh.

What about you did you get yourself a batch ring?

It was always too expensive for me, so I decided not to get one. Collector's item???

I didn't get one. Can't find a practical purpose/reason for it.

nix: Yep, it could be, years from now. Almost anything in the year 2000 will be a collector's item in the future. My dad made sure he kept the newspapers last January 1, 2000. From those who bought the first Time magazine, who would have thought that it would be a collector's item?

Well, I have two batch rings, one for high school and one for college. I'm a very sentimental person kasi. That's really the only use for it, for sentimental reasons. One of the tangible things that can bring back everything. I have high school batchmates who didn't order rings because at that time they thought it was too expensive. Now, less than 10 years after graduation, they really regret not buying a ring.

My dad still has his high school ring. Whenever we talk about it, or whenever he brings it out, it's so aliw how he makes kwento. I would think that 30 years from now, the P3000 that I paid for will be worth it.

Hello, Ice Burn:

I got myself a big and heavy Ateneo ring and spent about P1200 my junior year. In graduate school, I spent more money and got another class ring. I've worn them probably...four times since I bought them.

I suppose we all need to have physical souvenirs of important times in our lives, but rings (especially the big and heavy kinds) aren't practical enough to be worn regularly.
