i do. especially to those who i've been really close with. i hate loosing people who i've learned to treasure and who i've really loved as friends. so i do my best to kee on communicating with them. and im very touched to those who do the same thing. just like one of my former officemates who we fondly calls "mama linda". she sends me messages whenever she can and we chat on ym whenever we're both online. ^__^
how about you?

responses and comments:
Hey. Yes off course i do... Even though theres alot of years missed from back in school to present day, We all still keep intouch, and most of us have children, there are a couple we have lost touch with and dont know there where abouts... [Nardz13]
yeah.. i've kinda lost contact with some friends too.. its like they have their own lives now... [secretbear]
I do have a couple of high school friends that I still keep in touch with but only a couple. Most people have gone their separate ways and have gotten married. I do still keep in touch with some previous coworkers as well. It is nice to have some old friends still as well as making new friends. I wish that I had kept in touch more with other friends from my younger days. [kgwat70]
i also have a lot of highschool friends who have their own married life now and are busy with their children. but we contact each other once in a while. but there are those who have really gone with their own lives and never bother to get in touch. as for my college friends, they are scattered all over the country and some of them are even abroad. some have lost contact and some do keep in touch. [secretbear]
I still associate with a few fellow workers from my past. As far as old classmates etc; I've yet to talk to any in the past 15 or so years. I have a site where I've put up info looking for a couple old high school flames and an old friend from a few years back hoping to get a result soon but none yet. http://www.longtimelost.com/ HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~ [webeishere]
i see. i've got a friendster account and some of my highschool classmates were there but we rarely send messages to each other. guess we're not interested anymore. LOL [secretbear]
I don't really talk to that many of my high school sort of friends much. But I do still talk to my friends from broadcasting school... well one of them anyway. I still talk to one of my old co-workers too, but not as often because you know obviously we used to talk more often when we worked together cause we saw eahc other more. [raychill]
you're so right there. priorities change when someone get married and have kids. my married friends, of course, prioritize their families first. [secretbear]
hi there! ;0 yes, i still do. because i think that it is good to be in good contact with our old friends and acquaintances because who knows, in the future, we just might need them. :) [jlara_gtr34]
i've heard of facebook but i think it isn't that popular here in our country yet. i have found a lot of old classmates in friendster so i gues i'll just settle with it. ^__^ [secretbear]
I have met so many of my old school friends online that we keep in touch via a website called bebo.com (similar to myspace). I also have a few on my msn messenger too. I have email addresses of all my work mates from my last two jobs so i drop them an email from time to time and they do too. I still send them Christmas Cards as well. [maddysmommy]
i definitely would want to be your friend. ^__^ i love friends who constantly keep in touch and those that never fail to remember my birthday or some special moments we've shared. i love reminiscing too with old friends so i do my best to keep the communication alive. ^__^ [secretbear]
I have kind of lost touch with everyone that I worked with. And when I was in high school I only had one really good friend. She was my neighbor. We grew up and got on with our lives had children. I hear from her every blue moon or so. So the answer would be no. I have friends now I see in my life, but they are not the friends of long ago. [OreoCookie3]
that's just so sad. its sad to lose friends you've shared some good times with. [secretbear]
As far as high school classmates are concerned, no because I moved very far from my home town. None of my relatives live there anymore so I don't go back. I'm still in touch with two college friends but but for the most of them eventually our careers and distance again has separated us. I've never found anyone at previous jobs that I've wanted to stay in touch with. I'm not one who is big on networking. ‹(°¿°)› [jumpinjack00]
u-huh. sometimes its really depressing when we want to see each other but we just cant because we're too far apart. some of my friends are together in the same area and they get together sometimes. whenever they see each other i just get so jealous! LOL im frustratingly wishing i was there having fun with them. [secretbear]
Sadly i've lost contact with most of my former classmates or co-workers..There are only a few(4) that i'm still in contact with (through myspace or e-mail). [catfever7]
that's really sad. i've lost contact too with some of my friends. uh, lemme rephrase that, they stopped communicating. ^.^ [secretbear]
Yes. I do communicate with my ex classmates and the officemates still. Infact, I do plan some of the weekends with them to go outside and spend some quality time with some of the ex classmates and the officemates. [senthil2k]
another one who i'd definitely want to be friends with! ^__^ i love friends who take the efforts of planning gimmicks or inviting friends to come over their house and just hang out. i have a friend like that but its sad coz he went abroad to work and now, me and our friends see each other seldom. [secretbear]
Yeah i do still communicate to my former classmates when were still in high school. Its nice to have such communications because u already knew each other. You discussed things like funny things that u both guys did and as well as the embarrassing moments too. Having communication to them would u feel like a connection path of ceratinly of the new world ur into like if you working now. Different fields of interest mixed some variations. Getting in touch to them like a family or your brother and sister. Sharing your problems and asked some advices that would make you comfortable in having solution to your problem. [keithcortes05]
its really fun to reminisce with old friends. and it really would be a waste if the bond between get broken just because of long distance and no communication. the effort you've given to know each other would really be put to waste if you forget each other. that's why im trying real hard to always get in touch with old friends. ^__^ [secretbear]
I am still friends with ALMOST everyone I went to school with. We all went to a smaller school and we all still live in this town pretty much. And If I dont still talk with them in person them we commute through Myspace. LOL [jolenegreen]
that's nice. if i had a choice i wouldnt have lived away from my friends. ^__^ [secretbear]
Hi secretbear! I do, too. Keeping in touch with friends are one way not to loose the bond. People do grow apart when they become older, but it's also on the choice of those people if they still want to be connected. God bless! [sr0415]
i agree. its the person's choice to keep up the communication with her friends. that's why im bitter to those friends who chose to cut our communication. ^__^ [secretbear]
i do not.. mostly in part due to distance, but if i could i'd enjoy some communication with my former friends/classmates/coworkers as we have all had our moments good and bad and it's nice to listen to past events and being in the moment again. [sergio5]
oh, how sad. dont you communicate through emails or phones? [secretbear]
we still communicate... we have our cotacts with each other... and my former classmantes are n0w planning to have a reunion this august.... [vhinjc]
that's nice. our college department held an alumni homecoming the other week and I wasn't able to attend since the venue was in our school and its very far from my home. it was disappointing coz I wanted to see old friends and classmates but I can't do anything about it. I'm also busy with my work and I don't have the budget for any travel. ^.^ I don't know if our high school homecoming would push through next year. there aren't so many active people on our batch on that matter. [secretbear]
oh yes, very much, I have 3 former officemates which became my bestfriends, we made sure we were present to each others Wedding and other important events in our lives even we have transferred to other work/offices. We are still good frineds untill now and we do call each other often or exchange text messages. [cefaz_21]
that's great. I also have a very good friend who is a former officemate of mine and we constantly keep in touch through text messages. once in a while we see each other if either of us went somewhere near our hometowns or current locations. ^__^ and then, we alo have another officemate who we try to visit once in a year during a "fiesta" celebration in their town. we've also grown close to her kids so we can't just forget each other easily. ^__^ [secretbear]
yes,i do that too..specially with those i really close. sometimes we make an appointment to hang out or just to see a movie together or just make a phone call for hours.. i still communicate with my elementary classmate till my college mate.it could be through friendster, we send each other comments or messages or through Yahoo messenger.Well,,in this case,i should thank to the technolgy which can make me connect to my friends easily. [nutea_anin]
you still have communication with your friends from grade school? that's nice. I only have a few friends from elementary and its fortunate that we were classmates too back in high school because we had more time to get closer and know each other. back in elementary we didn't really cared too much if we get separated or not. I think we only cared about playing together in school. ^__^;; so we became good friends when we went to the same high school and that's where we knew the true meaning of friendship. we get together once in a while during birthdays of each other or during birthdays of their children. and also during christmas since most of their children are my godson or goddaughter. ^__^ [secretbear]
Yes I do, especially for those that are close to me. It's good to meet up with them again and reminsce the good/bad old days as well as to find out how they are doing. [daveisdavid]
its really nice to get updated on each others lives. sometimes its surprising how each of us turned out to be. sometimes how we saw a person when we were still young got really different when we grew up. like, we never expected him or her to be a swat member of the police, or him to became a priest. something like that. and its more surprising when those goodie-quiet misses got married earlier than those...liberated and outspoken ones. ^_^ [secretbear]
yes.i am,my friends r mu best friends.i have alot of friends.i always chat with them and i love them very much.i trust them very much,they too same to me.so like them so much.they wiil call to my mobile when tey get time.i am soo happy with my friends. [charlesggeorge]
good for you. I love my friends too. I actually think I love them more than I love my family. ^__^ but I'm sure I'm more closer to them than my family. ^__^ [secretbear]
Yes, i still communicate with my officemates from my past job. I still text them and sometimes we do go out. Just recently we attended a wedding, and we had our little reunion there. [grecychunny26]
hi grecychunny! its fortunate that you and your former officemates can go out once in a while. with my case, its not that easy. coz we live in different provinces and that's about long distances. that's why when one of them got married, most of u were not able to attend. [secretbear]
Still i have contacts with some of my classmates who studied with me in kindergarden.Its four of us who studied from kg till our secondary school and still we meet and keep in touch.they are among my best friends list.I never loose any friends untill they are good to me. Immediately after my under graduation i joined in a shipping firm and currently working for a Software company and its four years now i have left from my previous company but still communicating with some of my friends who worked there with me.we get along rarely but make calls frequently and chat online whenever we find time. whereever i go i get along with people and become friendly with them and i strongly believe in long lasting friendships. [subathra]
friends from kindergarten?? wow! that must be ancients ago! that's amazing. i never had any good friends back in kindergarden. and i only remember some through pictures. one of my classmates then was the daughter of my godmother and we never became friends because we were just too different. we have different interests but were civil towards each other. another classmate became a friend only when we reached high school. we became friends only then and now we're still good friends. ^__^ [secretbear]
Some of the closer friends I still keep in constant communication with, but the rest, sadly no. However I do have their contact details and they (I would assume) still have mine so if there is a need to, I guess we can still keep in contact or chat when needed. [8ctavarium]
but dont you think they might have changed their contact numbers or anything? i have friends who constantly change phone numbers and frequently change their home. [secretbear]
of course ,i do .you see,old friends are gold. but i also like to make new friends ,u see ,new friends are silver. [zhentao111]
hahaha.. you're right. friends are gold. ^__^ [secretbear]
On the net there is a site which puts you back in contact with old friends from college, school, work called Friends Reunited. I don't keep contact with them to be honest, because I prefer to live in the now and the future, friendships have drifted away and there is nothing to be gained from renewing them, we have either moved away or too much Water under the bridge. I have my friends on Mylot as well as my offline friends who I spend my time with now. [wolfie34]
nothing can be gained by renewing friendship with old friends?? i must differ with that. and i dont think there's a difference between old friends and new friends, i mean, they both give us the same happiness and completeness. im talking about true friends. true friends live up to the essence of a real friend and it doesnt matter if their old or new. [secretbear]
Ofcourse i do.I email them or message them on occassions and on their birthday,Yeah freinds are like treasures we should always keep our freindship alive.I have some true friends in guys and we always keep in touch.We call sometimes or have chat online and share our emotions,discuss about future,have comments on our mates and children.I have rellay some true freinds and feel lucky.Smiles [mymytri]
i feel so lucky too having good friends. im really fortunate to have people who can understand me and to whom i can confide with my feelings and secrets. im not close with my family and so i prefer to talk things with my friends. ^__^ [secretbear]
of course!my friends are almost my former classmates or officemates.i often comunicate with them by phone,messages,or chatting online.if i have not comunicated with them for long time,i will miss them very much.some of my former classmates or officemates live in the same city with me,so i often have dinner or Party with them.when i comunicate with my old friends,i will feel happy. [dayong1113cn]
lucky you. you're vry unfortunate to have a healthy communication with your friends. i have "poor" communications with some of my friends and im just so frustrated with it. and sometimes i think its best to let it be and go on with my own separate life. ^__^ [secretbear]
As much as possible i always stay in touch with friends and with everybody i get acquainted with. I cherish people and friendship alot. i stay in touch thru phone, email, or networking sites. [bluishrose]
i do that too. but i became less enthusiastic to do that. ^__^;; before i was doing my best and always communicated with my friends. and they were too. but it came to a point that im receiving less and less messages and before i knew it, it became once in a month or never. but im talking about a few friends. i still have a lot of friends whom i instantly communicate with. i realized i'll just have to "settle" for them and stop sulking around about those who have forgotten. ^__^ [secretbear]
Hi,secretbear! Yes,i do.Celebrating parties with former classmates is a coommon activity in summer/winter holidays.This summer holiday,I will enjoy at least 3 partis:with my primary school classmates,with my middle school classmates and with my high school classmates.(I'm a busy girl in this summer*flatter*) Besides parties in holiday, my former classmates and I always communicate with each others online or with cell phones. [shinjiao]
parties! I love parties! ^__^ but the only kind of party me and my friends attend together is birthday parties of their children. ^__^;; and still, some of us don't get to attend because their busy with their own lives. this is true with my high school friends. as to my college friends, its impossible for us to attend parties together. we're just too far apart. ^.^ [secretbear]
Hello secretbear, Yes, I do but only with a few friends that are really close to me. I still keep in touch with my two best friends whom I knew since I was 14. I have two or three office mates from my previous work places that I still contacting. Just that it is very difficult to keep the friendship on as most of us are pretty busy with our daily schedules and family matters. [gr8life]
don't you think its ironic? even with the presence of technologies like cellphones and internet, its still difficult to keep the communication and even friendship alive. things really change a lot when we get out of school and face the "real world". priorities change, lifestyles change. even some of our traits and behavior change. sometimes I wish I was still a students living a happy life with my friends. ^__^ [secretbear]
I have a yahoo messenger shortlist of former classmates from high school I constantly communicate with. It's the people that cared how things turned out for me. I have mail addresses and phone numbers for most of my high school classmates but I never use the rest... [stvasile]
of course, there's only selected people to whom we constantly communicate with. and these are close friends who cared an still cares. but sometimes there are those who will just pop out of nowhere, asking how are you doing, what's up... and its a nice feeling that tht someone still remembers you. ^__^ unlike those who bother not to look when you cross paths in the streets. [secretbear]
I still communicate with my former classmates or officemates with mails and messenger. We like to share our story about everything example like what happen in the office, or investement or our activities on weekend. This is a good way i think to keep our good relationship [akunz81]
yup. good communication is the key for a healthy relationship. me and my friends communicate through cellphones and emails. but if if I would've given a choice, I would prefered to communicate through snail mails. talking on the phone is nice, but I'm sort of a writer than a talker, so it could've been nicer for me if we are communicating through mails. ^__^ [secretbear]
i do. friends are like treasures to me, especially my college friends, i have constant comminication with them. [larskie23]
friends are really treasures aren't they? ^__^ I can't imagine a life without friends. i'd probably die of loneliness. ^.^ if I hadn't had some real friends back in highschool, i'd probably treasure my college friends than my highschool friends. LOL [secretbear]
Yes, I still communicate with my former officemates and schoolmates. Thank God for technology, now at least we can keep in tough with our former classmates and officemates even if they are a thousand miles away. [mari_skye]
yeah, thank God for technology. but still, would've prefered personal contacts. ^__^ [secretbear]
No, I don't. I have lost contact with my classmates long time ago, and I didn't get to get in touch with any of my former officemates. If I had the time, I'd like to have a little chitchat with my classmates and see how they are doing now. [3r7sweetie]
I wish I had the resources and time too to see my friends in person and catch up on things. ^__^ that's all we lack. [secretbear]
i do. in high school we were 3 close friends that hang around together all the time. after highschool there were times that we had fights and we got more distanced to each other but time makes you a grown up and you just realize how important they are. we are still best friends. [ayseteyze]
good for you. ^__^ I also have bestfriends from highschool and its easy for us to see each others since we live in the same town. we may not see each other often but we do see each other during important times. ^__^ [secretbear]
Yes I do contact with my old classmates (only those whom I was more familiar with) and we are still friends after coming out to work and deal with our busy lives. I treasure the good times we spent in school and there was a lot to remember, therefore, we are still keeping in touch and sometimes we have dinner and have a good chat about the past, good laughs too! It was so much fun. Life has certainly been busy for everyone of us but we work hard to communicate online or go out for dinner just to keep that friendship growing. [wondericequeen]
yeah. i hope they do feel the same way. sometimes i feel like its all one-sided.. ^.^ [secretbear]
I wish I could contact my friends again, but I have been unfortunate. All of us have been busy, the last time I contacted my classmate was last week and she didn't have the time to chat with me by YM. So I just told her, okay go and continue with your work, we can chat later. I hate to disturb her, but at the same time I miss the time we spent together when we were in class. My other friend who is already married has lost contact with me and I miss her very much. I have put this in mind : I will continue this relationship back, no matter what. I miss both of them very much and I can't lose them. [ladysurvivor]
oh that's very sad. when me and some of my friends are both online we try to talk even if we are both at work. sometimes we take so long to answer since we're both busy and sometimes, the other one has logged out and missed a reply. we're okay with that. we both understand that we are busy. the important thing is we're both trying to talk with each other. its the effort that's important. ^__^ [secretbear]
no one will like to leave or forget someone who wants to stay with us.... but the problem is.... can we really find someone like that who wants to keep up the relatioship or friendship alive.... i've only seen people who get busy everyday and they just forget to respond back.... i dont say they ignore us... but the busy life has taken us so far that we even take chances on so called relationship or friendship.... [nafeesa_mohd]
yeah, that's what you call true friends, those that do everything to continue the friendship. its really the priorities that change. of course we have to work, and some work are really demanding so we barely can give time to those people important to us. but true friends, even the busiest one, take time to say hello and how are you. ^__^ [secretbear]
yes secret bear we really should treasure special people we meet in our lives, according to the song sunscreen...friends come and go but with the precious few we must hold on. of course, i still have communication with my former officemates and classmates but not all of them. it's not so hard nor expensive to keep in touch nowadays as there are so many fast and cheap ways to communicate. [misshoney]
its really not expensive to communicate. but its the time that's hard to find. im not saying this for myself, i just understand those who doesnt have the time to keep in touh always. ^__^ but those who dont work and doesnt keep in touch, i just cant understand them. ^.^ its like they've grown tired of communicating and chose to forget. [secretbear]
Those people really mean alot to you. Well, I have friends who I think of. They ,sometimes, go to distant places. It is sometimes hard to sympathize with friends you usually don't see anymore. I still remember a lot from them. Yes, I wish a road should meet again sometime. [jatamogue]
oh that's cute. roads meeting together. ^__^ i hope mine and my friends' roads would cross soon. ^__^ [secretbear]
Yes i do.It is no reasons for us to leave our classmate or officemate without any new information about our new life! I'm always contac them,but if i know their mobile number or where they are! [ayris77]
i do too. i tell them to inform me if they ever change numbers so i can get to contact them. and its disappointing if they do not. ^__^ [secretbear]
yup, i do keep in touch with my former classmates and colleagues, those that i'm close with. sometimes we have a gathering, send sms or greet each other during festive season, and not forgetting chat with each other on msn messenger or yahoo messenger. i think it's a good thing to keep the friendship going, even if we have left school or if we're not working at the same place anymore, or rarely see each other due to our busy lives :) [kevsgirlalways]
its really good to maintain friendship. friends remind us of who we are if sometimes we forget. ^__^ its nice to reminisce and be reminded that you did silly things before and how you behaved when you were young. this is really true for me. and i appreciate my friends who have a good memory coz im so forgetful. i tend to forget even those important events in my life. and whenever a friend reminds me, im like, "really?? i did that? i said that?".. and then have a good laugh. ^__^ [secretbear]
yes i do..we are still in touch through chatting,orkutting and sms... [bimal10p]
that's great. ^__^ [secretbear]
Yeah me too. I do keep in touch with them once in while specially if there's special occasions like birthday or holiday like Christmas. [jhoana_joey]
i do that too. its easier to communicate when there's an occasion because it gives you a good excuse to communicate so suddenly. ^__^;; [secretbear]
your so lucky that you still have contact to your old friends and classmates, i greaduated in the province and leaved, and work in the other city, and my family migrated too. and change address couple of times i totaly lost contack to all of my classmate i hope to see and talk to them one day, how i missed them, even in the internet i try to surf, finding even one but i fail.but its ok i have lost of friends too that we still intouch. [wishme_luck]
im not that lucky. i went to college in a province too, way way far from home. and when i graduated, of course i had to leave the place and return home. i've lost contact to some of my good friends but still in contact with most of them. and the good things is, a lot of them are moving to the city, which is near to my work so we can see each other if our schedule permits us. ^__^ [secretbear]
I have communicated with quite a few of my classmates after school was finished. [rogue13xmen13]
Right now, I made a long distance call from time to time to check how is my best buddy officemate doing with her pregnancy. She is very especial to me. She was like an older sister and at the same time a confidant and a very close friend. We worked together for almost 2 years, lived in the same apartment for almost 6 months and she was the one who was there for me during my ups and downs when I start working already. She has been a part of my life in the same way that I am to hers. I also have communication with some of my classmates from elementary until college and it is through friendster or YM. [MarieJ23]
that's sweet marie. ^__^ when you live together with someone nice you cant really avoid to develop a good relationship. with my previous work, me and my officemates lived together in one staffhouse. most of them were nice and we treated each others like family. ^__^ right now we usually get in touch through text messages. [secretbear]
i always connect with my former friends they always my dear friends ,most of my friends are in the same city with me ,some are in other city, but it do not matter,i try my best to communicate with them [apple007]
that should be the thing! distance shouldn't matter when you really want to get in touch right..? ^__^ if there's a will there's a way. [secretbear]
me and my buds go way back in pre-school ^ ^ I'm not really a person who loves easily. I think it's because people get intimidated by me. I really don't have a friendly face, so I don't get approached a lot. hehe...I sometimes think that's why I haven't been robbed yet. LOL! I've been tight with my buds for 18 years! :) [tenchiwei]
LOL then you must not change your face or else you'd be robbed! LOL wow. its rare to retain friends from pre-school unless you always see each other and you're living next to each other. i think i only have one friend that goes way back to pre-school. we're still friends but we dont see each others a lot. [secretbear]
Frankly speaking.. I am more of an Introvert..and i seldom mix with others..and therefore i have made a handful of friends... Ofcourse i had some friends during all my career right from school to till this day.. But only a few of them i have.. upon whom i fully trust... and they are my School friends ...and even this day we meet on occassions and enquire about each others welfare. Hence to tell the truth, no matter how many friends that I've made in other stages of my lifetime, I don't have that kind of good feeling same as what I have towards those middle school friends, though not all my middle school schoolmate could become my best friends.... [saivenkaat802003]
of course. we could only have a few bestfriends, actually i think we should only one bestfriend. ^__^ i have a friend which i consider my bestfriend and i have a few friends which i consider close and good friends. ^__^ [secretbear]
Yes, I still keep in touch with former classmates and officemates. Although we do not get to see or talk with each other as often as we'd like to, mainly because of geographical reasons, somehow we manage to get in touch every now and then. With the onset of high technology, it is easier to keep the communication lines open, with email, phone, etc. We may tend to get wrapped in our day to day living but we are still in touch with each other over the years. [MariaD]
its really hard when you live miles apart. but i have friends who live near me but still we don't see each others that often. we don't even send text messages or call each others often. they are busy with their families and i'm single and i usually get tired of communicating with them because they don't usually communicate back immediately. so i guess, having our own priorities affect our communication too. ^__^ [secretbear]
Yes, I do. Most are those friends from way back. I tried to keep in touch with them the way they do the same. Its nice talking or writing or texting your former classmates and officemates. They are sisters and brothers to me. We talk as if we were family, brothers and sisters. But there are very few of them to whom our communication goes on and on. And sometimes we met and just like the old days. My family is also their family and I am a member of that family. I love and care for all of them. [bagumbayan]
that's nice. i have some friends too whose family i have been friends with also. like the mother of one of my friends, i call her mother. ^__^ its nice to be close with the family of your friends. [secretbear]
Unfotrutanelty I hardly have any contact with my high school friends. Mostly it's just a chance meeting on the street when I talk to them v.v But I am very touched when I get an invitation for a birthday from one of them or there'sa class meeting^_^ [Pompon]
yeah, usually its during special occasions that old friends get to meet. we get to meet during birthdays too but not always. sometimes someone wouldn't celebrate his/her birthday. that lessens the days that we see each others. ^__^ [secretbear]
Oh you are lucky..unfortunately i mostly have bad memories of past classmates so as soon as school finished I did everything to leave them behind...i would ahve loved to have friends for life from school but it was not possible because we were all too different [valyushah]
for real? that's just so sad. I have always thought that school is one of the top places where one can find friend. its sad that it isn't true for you. I wish you have friends now wherever you are working. ^__^ [secretbear]
Same here I love to keep in touch with old friends and colleagues and always try to be in touch with them and try to be in touch either on phone or e-mail. [anup12]
yup. its a good thing technology helps us with that. ^__^ [secretbear]
I communicate with my former classmate only in two ways, Using the net or short messages. Chatting online is the most popular way to us, but we should both online. If each of us can't surf the net, sending short message by mobile phone is the choice. For the cost of chatting on phone is high here. [nini168]
yeah. talking on the phone is really much expensive than sending text messages and chatting online. but nowadays there are promos where Networks are offering call packages at a more affordable prizes. [secretbear]
I'm not a big email girl. So I don,t really like to write an email first. If someone write to me, I will write back and like that we will continue to write to each other, but if the other stop, I will not write back lol. But once in a while, to some of my old friend, I try to send an email. I also have emails of so ex co-worker, but I think I need to write to them lol [beyonce03]
me too! with some of my friends I don't initiate the communication. but if they write, I will write back too. but to some friends, I make the first step. ^__^;; [secretbear]
yeah, i do communicate with my former classmates and officemates... i treasure friends a lot and like to hear from them every now and then... am back!!! cheers!!! [makaira]
this maybe lte but, welcome back ate tin! ^__^ [secretbear]
Yes I always have communication with my former classmates or officemates. We even sometimes see each other. We like the companionship very much. [jarves]
hi jarves! ^__^ its really the companionship that makes us keep our friends. right? ^__^ we enjoy it too much that it feels like we never wanna let go. [secretbear]
I do try to communicate with my former schoolmates but very rarely they reciprocate or reply my emails. But I would love to keep in touch with most of them. They were one whole lot with whom I really enjoyed my school days. I cherish them even now. I really love them. [cobradene]
Secretbear, I still communicate with my former classmates or officemates from time to time. One way or the other, we're gonna need each other's help so it is better to keep the friendship forever. [erickrubio]
Sad to say I am way out here and they are way back there.. We lost touch with one another. I don't think I know where any one of them is at all. [littlefranciscan]
yes i do communicate with my highschool and college classmates and some of my office mates. i communicate with those who i am really close with. i still communicate with my highschool and college close friends. [tantal25]
4 months and counting .....No i guess i am not that friendly or something else but i do not keep in touch with my classmates I do have lots of friends but they come from my neighborhood and many where never classmates However i endorse this and i think friendship and reunions are wonderful It seems when i look back it was the females that had this pack and remained friends for life The males on the other hand when their own way ..that may not be true for many but in my case it is what i see .Thanks for sharing Good Luck [Cancer2005]
of course ,i still do.i very love making friends.that's why i still contact my classmates n my officemates until now.i very cherish my friendship with them.friends are part of it in my life..we still keep our phone chatting,sms n even arranged for a meet up wherever we can..that's how is goes.... [paulinez]
I too try to keep in touch with my friends but have not been in contact with those who were with me before marriage but i have made many in ludhiana with whom i have worked or have attended computer classes. We go together Shopping and keep contact on phone and attend parties together. [limcyjain]

I don't keep in contact with many people I went to school with. I was the unpopular fat kid and didn't get along with most anyone. The rest of my friends from school have kids and they've excluded me in their activities because I do not find talking about a baby's colic or diaper changes entertaining. My eyes tend to glaze over and I begin to drool. [Sacrificialclam]
Yes. I still communicate with my classmate from university. Sometimes, I will met them and hang out together. If I'm really busy, I will only send sms. [m_5ugar]
Yes, i do especially with those who are closed to me, we loved to updated each other for our new achievements in life and happenings. [annettenasser]
yes, with the power of latest technologies now like the internet i still have communication with my classmates and friends even those from way back in high school. It's so much easier now to track down even long lost friends. [irene_27]
Much of the people I used to know when I was working in an office, are now dead, or they are so far away that I cannot get in touch with them. If it were but a few years, I would say I could get in touch, but I am talking about forty years ago and then there was no email or Computers to communicate. We had the telephone, and the letter and since many would have unlisted numbers it is hard to call someone else whom you have not seen in 40 years and say, "Hi remember me?" especially when you acted sort of immature and they judge you by that. I find it hard to talk to my relatives, unless there is something special and I do not know the email of my cousin over in England. [suspenseful]
of course!!! my former classmates are my best friends and i speak with them every week, we make a reuniun every weekend in a house of one of us!!! [darkaeon]
I dont have many contacts of my classmates but whosever I have I keep in touch with them on a regular basis. [nrsatish29]
I still communicate with some friends, not all, maybe just few of them who I still can reach by phone, emails, chatting. Most of them are quite close friends. [femimi]

I do communicate a lot to former officemates. These officemates were not just officemates per se. They have become my friends. The relationship is of course different now -- where as before we would talk just because of office related needs. Now we can talk about anything under the sun which is quite cool. And thanks to the power of technology I get to reach out to them often. :) [tryxiness]
Yes I do but I'm very selective with friends so I only keep in touch with a few from high school, from college, and former officemates. Though I'm not very active in Friendster, I'm sure that makes it a lot easier nowadays. [wisedragon]
i do with some. not with all. i have made good friends with some school mates and officemates. i still communicate with them as they also do with me. [subha12]
Yeah, the same thing here. But a little reason, I do still communicate with my ex-classmates because they are my close friend. And I thing they are really nice. For my officemates, I have a doubt. Actually i feel a bit fear with them. lol [az03r4]
i think may be your way just suit you.for me .i also have discuss with my friends and keep a good relationship.but i don't hate anyone when they are busy and no time to care about me .you know everyone have himself business.me too.so i 'm not agree with you totally. [ericlshlee]
yeah! thru YM or friendster messages. or through yahoogroups. actually, there are a lot of platforms here in the internet wherein you can communicate with your old mates. :) [GourdBreaker]
I keep in touch with some of my old friends from middle school, and highschool. Some from college. But i find My OLD type of friends doens't fit into my new lifestyle. lol. I used to hang around with people who smoked pot and drank alot, liked to party it up. . cause .. well i used to be intrested in those things as well. But now i'm married and got a kid and one on the way, i sort of grew'd up, lol and most of them haven't. I talk to friends that are moms also, we trade experiences and stuff, but i'm a person that needs to find people with things in common, and when people are constantly changing, its hard to keep up with them all. I like to have a very few friends that i keep close. I have my bestest friend from jr high school and a few others that i've known since then, but mostly i meet people and i forget people, and i meet more people, and sometimes i keep em as friends, but usually i dont. lol. i dont have much faith in the human race. I like to keep people at a distance so i stay outta they're drama and dont get myself into any kind of trouble that i dont need! I hope that doesn't come across as rude, or vein even . . i dont think of myself as being better then anyone else.. I just.. Save myself the trouble of being dissapointed when someone else turns around and uses me, or backstabs me. and i'm FINE with having only a few friends. Easier to keep track of them *smile* [Sissygrl]
I don't have any contacts anymore with my former classmates anymore.We all wandered different paths.Since i finished school i gained other friends in a very different way,but these i know are my real friends.Sometimes i'm bit sad about that because in highschool i had great friends but it didn't last for long. [eyewitness]
No, I have not stayed in touch with anyone from high school. I don't go to the reunions either. High school was a very painful time of life for me. I have no desire to hang out with any of the class. [royal52gens]
I don't have that many people that I truly care about and I try to keep in touch with the ones I do care about. [seahorse4445]
hi secretbear , how's your day? anyway, well, i do. and i loved bonding with them whenever there's a chance to... thanks for posting and sharing this.... cheers and God bless... [delgar]
Same here...I hate loosing people specially those who are all dear to me and the closed ones whom i love....Well i do keep in touch with them either through messenger or mails or call them up sometimes...I miss them really....but do keep up with them through messages......... [shraddhaswnt211]
