LA Reunion
Pictures by Inia Asuncion, scanned by Riz Bautista, and stories narrated by Beng Nuguid Evangelista.

Beng, Mandy, Faye, Tess, Inia with thier host Dana & Riz.

"The reunion in Anaheim was truly splendid!  We had the best time dahil puro tawanan, kwentuhan, kainan, at reminiscing of the good old high school days.  Talagang mababait at super hospitable sina Riz, Dana, Lex, at Tess.  Inspite of their hectic schedules, they gave their "all" just to make our vacation extra-special."

Here is the group during one of their feasts in the one week get-together.

"Our family stayed at the Bautista residence for six days.  Bow ako kay Riz at Dana for their tireless spirits."

The gang, with Riz and Dana's parents and relatives.

"Alam mo ba na first time na natulog ang Parado family kina Riz?  Ginawa nila ito para lang sa amin.  During the first night at Dana's, we all slept till 3:00am na, at next day naman ay 2:00am!" 

Dana's family joined our vacationers.

"I'm overwhelmed by the bond of love and friendship manifested during the past week .  Hindi ko na kayang isa-isahin ang mga ginawa nilang pag-aasikaso sa min."

Inia, Beng and Dana having fun with Tess' twins, Cris and Fe.

"Ang sarap talaga ng pakiramdam namin dahil sa pagmamahal na ipinakita ng ating mga Californian friends.  They went out of their ways to express their concern for my family, most especially, during the time that Mandy and Joy got sick.  Nakakataba ng puso!  We hope that sometime soon, we'll have the chance to treat them like royalties, too."

Lex, the Karaoke King, serenading his wife...Tess.

"Sunday and Monday ay kina Tess kami.  Si Lex ay matiyagang nagbarbecue at gumawa pa ng cream puff dessert.  We celebrated Tess' birthday there, too.  May sing-along pa nga at wow ang mga boses nila Dana, Inia, Riz, at Lex na ala-Basil Valdez!"
