As usual, I'm so very happy to see again all you beautiful people
from batch '75. Even I'm 3 hours late for work, it's worth
it...hindi talaga ako maka-alis sa bahay ni pareng Billy esp nandoon
pa ang aking ??????
Billy, thank you very much for hosting the March get together. Pare,
100% ako na nag-enjoy ang lahat lalo na sa mga luto ninyo ni
Annabelle at Mommy. Sana maulit ito. Let's discuss the next
get together. Pls keep in touch.
Ron, I know you enjoyed every minute of it...talagang kulang ang
isang araw sa ating gatherings ano? Anyway, I'm always here at ina-
apura ko na ang kitchen remodeling ko for preparation for the next
get together. I'm sorry kung minsan at hindi na ako nakakasagot sa
mga e-mails ng mga idols natin, I'm just really trying to
accomplished everything at once...but rest assured that I'm always
with the group physically, emotionally at mentally retarded...I mean
mentally.
Gerry, thanks again for the cohiba cigar...you know ito lang ang
pangpakalmante ko esp when I'm hyper...at ngayong alam ko na ang mga
may hidden feelings sa akin kahit na sinuhulan ko ng plane ticket. I
hope we always get in touch. Did you make it on the early flight
back there? Thank you kay Tina for always being very supportive at
sana ay magkita-kita ulit tayo soon!
Ms Amee Balina A., if that's your real name! Anyway, happy happy
birthday to you. Can I invite you for a dinner tomorrow morning? I
know you enjoyed the get-together. I apologized for being so makulit
kasi ngayon ko lang ulit nakita ang mga batchmates after all those
years. O, kumakain ka na naman while reading your e-mails? Watch
your diet para hindi magastos sa damit. Pls get in touch and
hopefully you attend all the reunions that we're going to sched. I
promise I won't make kulit to you again.
Jane Balbuena, if that's your real name too! Thank you very much for
attending. It's nice to know and see you personally. Alam ko rin na
nag-enjoy ka sa reunion natin based sa kakatawa mo...lalo tayo tuloy
ginutom. Sayang at hindi kita naipasyal dito sa San Fran, but don't
worry pag bumalik ka dito sa Bay Area, I'll be your tourist guide.
Dadalhin kita sa mga beautiful places dito at pati na sa mga
Filipino restaurants at alam kong ito ang weakness mo aside from
manicure and pedicure. Kidding aside, pls take care esp in your job
and I hope & pray na malayo ka sa mga kapahamakan. Pls get in touch
and pls attend the next get together. I'll let you know the date
OK. Kailan ba ang balik mo sa LA? Magpa BP ka ha & also check your
cholesterol level ha!
Marissa Pablo, Thank you also for being there! Nag-enjoy ka rin di
ba? Para tayong bumalik during our high school days ano. Sana you
will also attend the next reunion para masaya. I'll let you know the
date of our next sosyalan. Nakakabawas ng stress ito di ba?
Conch, bakit ang tahimik mo naman. Galit ka rin ba sa pogi? Salamat
sa pag-attend mo ha. Masaya tayong lahat di ba? I hope you will
also attend sa mga reunions para may taga-tawa sa mga jokes ko.
Huwag kang masyadong nag-sasasama sa mga impostor at baka mahawa ka.
Mars Mauro, wala ka pa ring pinagbago, ang galing galing mo pa
rin. Lalo na sa pagtimpla ng drinks at sa pagtuturo ng sayaw.
Sampalataya na talaga ako sa iyo...thank you very much sa pag-attend
mo at sa mga dala mong drinks. Everybody enjoyed it, sayang at
kulang tayo sa oras. I hope maulit ulit itong happennings na
ganito...nakaka-alis ng stress!
Noel M, at last nakita na rin kita dito, you've gained a little
weight. OK ka pa rin, thanks for attending too...kailan naman kaya
mauulit ito? abangan sa susunod na kabanata! Iyong mga scoop at
nakuha mong report...careful ka ha!!!
Tirso, I'm surprised to see you so slim...nakaka-inggit ka. I hope I
could do the same dieting & control. Bigyan mo naman kami ng
pointers on how to loose weight...
August, puwede ba, next time kung ano na lang iyong proposal ni
Tirso ay huwag mo ng dodoblehin...napapahamak tuloy ako eh. I have
to work 3 more extra hours for these. Pare, ituloy natin itong mga
balak natin para sa PCS and I know a lot of people will be happy.
Let's discuss w/ Billy para sa next reunion natin OK.
Dennis, hindi ko alam na magaling ka rin palang sumayaw aside from
our best photographer. Keep it up pare ko...para may exercise ka
kahit paano...pareho na tayong father figure eh. Anyway, maraming
salamat po sa inyo...as usual itong reunion na ito ay hindi magiging
successful without you...alam naman ng lahat na ikaw ang pasimuno
nito at ako ay panaguri lamang.

To all my wonderful batchmates who were there at
Billy's, thanks for the great time!
Billy and lovely wife Annabelle - tyvm for hosting and
making this get together a fun party for all. Special
mention to 'mommy" who joined us representing PCS
batch 1949 ? and also to "Tita" who also shared the
fun from batch????. Billy, quick study ka pala sa
ballroom dancing, keep it up with constant practice,
you and Annabelle make a wonderful dancing couple.
Maybe in LV sa July, you can perform an exhibition
swing dance number for us all. Billy, bigay-hilig ka
talagang host at very patient ka sa aming mga requests
- karaoke singing, dance music mix, and esspecially
for me, salamat sa tip mo - how to cut open a giant
lobster to be eaten. Ang daming chibog at super
sarap, salamat sa mga cooks.
Lani - Thanks for the very enjoyable (Good) Friday
all-nighter, mali nga ang invitation mo na sleep-over.
Sayang at hindi ka nakapag personal appearance sa Part
2 kina Billy at na-disappoint tuloy ang mga fans ni
Ate Shawie.
Romie - Hi! Makabag-damdamin ang iyong sinulat at very
touching ang iyong sweetness! Sana ikaw rin, ligtas ka
rin sa anumang kapahamakan, lalung-lalo na sa
matinding galit ni Lily. Ako talaga ito, si Jane
Balbuena (aka Jane Villegas which is my professional
name) at hindi ako impostor. WARNING: Fraudulent
impersonation and assuming false identity is a felony
punishable by-... (Umandar na naman ang aking law
enforcement background ano?) Medyo gusto lang namin
mag-lambing sa inyo mga boyz, to mix-up our names,
para lalo ninyo kaming hindi makalimutan, it worked di
ba? Teka muna, baket sa San Francisco Bay area mo lang
ako balak ipasyal, ang hina ko naman sa iyo, padalhan
mo ako ng UA companion ticket and we'll tour the seven
continents, four corners of the globe! Salamat naman
at nakalusot ka this time sa boss mo, kahit 3 hours
late ka reporting for duty at nakainom pa. Pag-igihan
mo yung career mo with United at humahaba na naman
yung listahan ng may crush sa iyo. Romie, you are the
life of the party, bro, kahit pa sabihin mong
panag-uri ka lang at si Dennis ang pasimuno…medyo
tagal kong na-gets yun ha…galing mo at super smart ka
talaga batchmate, even if you did not graduation….
Mars Mauro - ikaw na ang favorite teacher ko, ty for
the many lessons : shiatsu massage, swing dance, wine
tasting, mixed drink concoctions at
investing-your-money-wisely 101. When is the next
class? Nandito ka rin lang naman sa downtown LA, let's
meet for lunch soon.
August -our dear talaba king! It's a pleasure to meet
you, kaya lang, aside from the PCS alumni fund raiser
of $20 per person (na -double, thanks to your
strong philanthropic spirit) I did not get much info
about you and your good life. I know hindi ka naman
sumasagot sa e-mails so maikli lang ang sulat ko for
you, chit-chat na lang tayo next get-together.
Pabs - hope you are feeling better these days. What
unfortunate timing naman ang iyong unexpected illness,
tuloy di ka namin nakasama for this Hayward
get-together at napurnada pa ang aming Canadian ice
wine. Di bale, may next time pa naman, rest well and
take it slow and easy muna.
To the very Supportive Wives Club - Tina, Luz, Ella,
Annabelle, Susan - salamat sa tiyaga ninyo sa amin at
sa aming kaguluhan. I hope that your loving husbands -
Gerry Boy, Ron, Dennis , Billy and August, have shown
their appreciation for you after the party. Ella,
nagbayad nga ba si Dennis for all the cooking that you
did for the party?
To my dear girlfriends - till the next time.

Patricia, I'm sorry kung ngayon lang...grounded kasi ako kay misis
sa computer hanggang hindi ko napapalitan ang bed sheets...narinig
kong bumukas ang garahe kaya nag-sign off agad ako at baka mabatukan
na naman. Anyway, tyvm for being there at da reunion. everybody
enjoyed it di ba? Also, pls extend our thanks to Anthony at pati
siya ay napahalo sa mga magugulo. Mayroon ulit planong get together
this month & I will let you know the exact date. Pls attend ha!
Vix, sana mabenta ko iyong palusot ko...nakalimutan talaga kita
dahil sa chitcharon bulaklak mo...ang sarap talaga at hindi tumaas
ang high blood ko pero bumaba naman ang anemic ko kaya nahihilo pa
rin ako hanggang ngayon...tyvm to you at kahit malayo ka ay
nakarating ka rin sa Hayward. Next time na pumasyal ka dito eh sana
sabay kayo nila Jane para maipasyal naman namin kayo dito sa San Fran
& next time habaan mo naman ang vacation mo para mas masaya. I hope

Alex, umuwi ka kasi ng maaga kaya nawala ka na sa mga pasasalamatan
ko...pero di bale inupakan ko naman iyong dala mong malagkit kaya
thanks to you at nagamit ko rin iyong diatabs na ma-eexpire na this

Dear Billy and Annabelle (and Mommy),
Thank you very much for hosting a wonderful reunion. Talagang first class
pare. Sorry, you have to refinish the floor. hehehe. Kasi naman si Mars ang
galing na DI. It was really great. Sana wag madala si Annabelle. Si Mommy,
kailangan mabigyan ng free trip sa Las Vegas so we can make it up to her.
(hello Romy-free ticket please). Hey Billy, it was really really great.
Everybody had a lot of fun. And the weather was just perfect. I hope
tinulungan mo si Annabelle and Mommy sa pagligpit. Sa susunod ulit Billy.
Wag mo ng isoli yung tent mo para magamit natin next time.
Vix - Thanks for being there. Ang sarap talaga ng chicharon bulaklak. Well, I
just have to give you an extra day sa LV para magawa mo yung infamous Vix'
chicharon. Although we didn't know each other during HS, I hope this is a
start of a lasting friendship. We'll keep in touch. Say hi to my brod, Berlin.
Mars - Talagang champion ang DI. Natikman ko yata yung lahat ng drinks na
minix mo. They are so so good, especially yung Sex on the Beach. The cosmo
was great too. You have to email me all your bar needs for the LV reunion
para maistock natin. I really think you can fix my two left feet sa dancing.
Hehehe. You are a champ.
Conch - Nice to see you again. Now my mission is to have you drink sa next
reunion. Just have your chin up, something will pop up sa career mo. It is
really hard to start but with your skills I know walang problema. I think you
are doing the right thing and keeping your options open. Hahanapan din kita
ng husband. Hehehe.
Marissa - Long time no see. You look great. Parang 20's lang. You know its
now coming back to me our Makati days. I think I remember your face then.
Kung meron kang litrato nung bata pa tayo, please email it to me. Hey, don't
miss our next reunion and also the LV reunion. Bring your family para
makilala namin. I will always remember Rey Sia, his face and the way he
laughs. Regards to your family.
Jane - Yes sir yes sir. We went to fisherman's wharf (sa Castagnola) for
lunch. I was hoping you guys will call me so we can have lunch together.
Well, I know you guys were so tired from the sleepover at Lani's. Thanks for
the business card. Pag may tumawag sayo na Nevada Highway Patrol, you know
the drill. Nice to see you best buddy and Amee again.
Amee Ayong who lives in Ayers - Oh men it rhimes. Talagang faith yung magkita
pa kayo ni Romy. Wag ka kaagad ma give in kay Lani. Romy's time management is
superb. Practisado yata yan sa dami ng plantsahin at laba. I hope you are
feeling better. Worried si Romy kasi you don't feel well. Romy Balina sends
his regards.
Hey Richie - Hindi ka nagbabago. Ano ba ang sikreto mo baka may pagasa pa
kami ni Romy. Well, I just have to get it from Tirso. Thanks for showing up
twice. I remember Ron and I following you pero hindi mo ako napapansin kasi
nasa likod ako ni Ron. Hehehehe. Naoutside the kulambo ba si Anthony kasi nag
smoke ng cigars. Minsan lang naman yun so forgive him. Hope to see you again.
Work and batch 75 don't mix. So give up the work. Hehehe.
August aka Phil- Great talaba. Talagang walang mintis. Nice to finally met
Susan. Kailan ang punta mo sa LV. I am 100% behind your foundation. Very good
cause. With the help of Tirso, we'll get it done. Did Billy finally give you
the 10 cohibas I sent for you?
Tirso - Hail to the Chief. Just hang in there chief and everything will fall
into place. Kailangan hanapin din kita ng bride ha. I really admire what you
are doing for PCS. I hope I can help you. Just let me know. Hey, you really
look good, You are my new idol. Hehehe. See you in LV in the next few weeks.
Alex - Thanks for the bibingka. Naubos na yesterday. You have to bring your
wife next time para ma meet namin. Too bad you had to leave early, we missed
you. Next time we have to set our priorities, kailangan magkaron ng
separation between the church and batch 75. hehehe. See you in April.
Noel - happy birthday. Sama ka kay Tirso pag punta dito ha. Your investment
idea is great. I will show you around when you get here. Hey, regards to Obet
and Eric. Si Obet Las Vegas bound, for doing a great job on the grills. See
yah. Enjoyed the Macarena.
Dennis - Men, your kids are growing so fast last time I saw them. Good job
Dennis or I would say good job Ella. Ang sarap ng palabok. Naubusan ako. Next
time I'll make sure I get enough the first time. Thanks for the memories.
Tell Ella, wag magsasawa sa batch natin. We are just great.
Ron - sis kulang yata yung Napa wine. They are so good. I think Sutter Home
is better than Berringer. Thanks for that bottle of Napa wine. Just a
coincidence, yesterday, I had some visitors who were craving for Napa Valley
wine, well ,poof -Napa wine it is. Ubos na. Ang cute cute ni Ashley. I don't
mind talking with her for hours. Very smart, just like mommy. Regards to Luz.
May date na yata si Luz at Tina sa Beltz Mall. Honey credit card please.
Hehehe.
Romy Baby - What a stud!!!! Simula ngayon ikaw na ang susundan ko para
makakuha ng pointers. Si Ron parang nag retire na. Buti na lang hindi ka na
fire. Pag binigyan ka ng hard time sa United, sabihin mo inentertain mo yung
one of the valued customers ng United kasi every month na yata itong ating
reunion, which is good. Namiss ka ni Amee when you left. Si Jane parang
nagseselos pero I think they are still friends. Hehehehe. May natira ba
sayong cohiba. If not padadalhan kita para magamit mo yung $100 turbo lighter
mo. Bibili din ako niyan one of these days. Regards to Lily. See you on your
50th.
Pabs- we missed you. Pagaling ka.
Lani - we waited and waited and waited.
Later guys,
Gerry

Hi to all. Me, Anabelle, and Mommy were all glad to
hear that everybody enjoyed sa party. I would say
super party ang nangyari. Pinasaya niyo ang aming
bahay. Sa mga hindi nakarating, bumawe na lang kayo sa
LV. Its just getting better and better. Anabelle said
sana meron din silang egroup tulad natin. Sabi naman
ni Mommy "sana kami rin". Ang problema lang ay 1949
batch. For your info, she went home last december for
a golden reunion sa pcs. Guess what, 12 people reunion
which is good na rin.
Girlz, tyvm sa pagjoin sa party. Handa kayo at meron
susunod na party. Jane, Amee, Marissa, Vix, and Conch,
game lahat kayo. Vix and Marissa, may tinatago kayong
boses. Save niyo for LV.
Richie, ang aga mong umalis, pero bumalik ka naman.
Hanga ako dun at pinaka last pang umuwi dahil ayaw
papigil sa paghugas ng plato. Ty again.
Ron, galing-galing ng dala mong reds and white wines.
As usual pagdating mo, inom right away tayo ng wine.
Thanks also to Luz for always being there. Ashley is
always cute playing with my Mimi(daughter). And Kyle
and Keanne playing with my boy Christian.
Romy, pinatawa mo na naman ang lahat. 50th bertdey mo
pala sa April 27. Balita ko nagvolunteer ka na daw, sa
bahay mo ang next party. Lagot ka ke misis, hindi pa
yata niya alam. Pare very late ka na pumasok sa UAL.
Hindi ka dapat ma fire out, kailangan ka pa namin sa
plane ticket for Vegas. Bilib na ko sa yo. Daming may
crush talaga sa yo.
Dennis, daming dala mo. Palabok, menudo, cassava,
hotdog for bar-bque. Tyvm sa wine glasses nga pala.
Nagamit lahat. Ang sasarap ng luto ni Ella. Yung
palabok mabenta talaga, naubos kagad.
Gerry and Tina, tyvm sa balikbayan box na live lobster
and cohiba. Ang lahat ay enjoyed sa lobster at may "to
go" pa. Anabelle said very pleasant kausap talaga si
Tina.
August, "talaba king", maganda ang planong foundation
para sa pcs. Sana tuloy-tuloy na to, baka mauwi sa
Mary Kay foundation.
Noel and Tirso, gama na game talaga kayo. Noel don't
worry kahit maingay tayo sa backyard. Wala pang
nagreklamong kapitbahay. Tirso you look good sa slim
mong figure.
Alex, ang sarap ng dala mong malagkit at pichipichi.
Sa susunod tagalan mo ang stay ha. Bitin ang
kuwentuhan.
Mars, champion na bar tender ka talaga. Sarap ng
"cosmo" at "sex on the beach". Pinasaya mo lalo ang
party. Tyvm sa pag DI. Galing mo sa swing. Outstanding
performance niyo ni Maryanne(Anabelle's aunt) sa swing
dance number. She said regards to you. Magkakilala
pala kayo. Mars or anybody, if you like my music swing
mix, i can give you a copy.

Romie,
Mabuti na lang at ngayon lang ako nagbukas ng mga e-mail kung hindi pala eh,
nasaktan ng husto ang aking damdamin. But all is forgiven - we all know
naman kung sinu-sino ang mga nasa isip mo kaya ka talagang nahilo, eh! I
really enjoyed the get-together last Saturday and getting to know you all plus
seeing all the other familiar faces...
Billy & Annabelle - Muchas gracias sa inyong hospitality. As our other
batchmates reminded me that this reunion was instigated by me, please accept my
apologies as well for all the gulo that we caused. Hopefully, hindi kayo
madadala hanggang sa uulitin!!!
Gerry & Tina - Are you sure you still want to host the LV reunion???
Oooppppsss...too late - even if you changed your mind, we all know your address
already! :) Looking forward to another day of fun in LV!
Noel/Tirso/Richie/Mars - It was great seeing y'all again! Thanks for the drive
home. We need to see each other again for a much longer time. Noel & Tirso -
hope to see you in Chicago soon.
Marissa P. - It's nice to see you after all these years. I hope you stay
connected and join us in all our never ending reunion.
Jane/Amee - Mukhang nabihag niyong dalawa (Amee, of course, is the leading
contender!) ang puso ng isa sa mga gwapo nating batchmate - hindi tuloy
maka-alis...hhhmmmm...we didn't get a chance to chat a lot - let me know when
the next sleepover is nang matagal-tagal ang kwentuhan.
Conch - Nice to see you again. hopefully you can continue to join us in all
our reunions - especially sa LV!
August - Now I know why you are the 'talaba' king! talaga namang superb iyung
oysters na dala mo. Sorry hindi talaga kita matandaan noong high-school - hindi
kasi ako masyadong tumitingin sa mga gwapo noon dahil ini-isnab lang ako, eh,
nasasayang lang ang panahon ko. Next time we need to peel you away from Tirso -
masyado namang serious ang mga discussions ninyo - naging double tuloy iyung
fundraising limits natin.
Alex - Next time you have to stay a little longer. buti pa kaya, dalhin mo na
rin si Mrs. para you can stay as long as 'she' wants! Biro lang, ha! Seriously,
we want to meet her already.
Ron - Thanks for the wine! Bilib rin naman ako sa inyo, may cigar, wine,
lobsters at oysters. Luz mentioned her territory includes Chicago - make sure
you tell her to give me a call if and when she gets a chance to visit Chicago.
Dennis - Of course, many many thanks to you, Padre D. and the U.S. First Lady
of our batch - Ella! Your never ending efforts to pull us all together have
really paid off and we owe you a lot!
Miles - Missed you on this one! I'll be waiting for your visit to Chicago.
Pabs - Missed you, too. Heard you were sick. Take care and hope to see you on
our next reunion.
MANY THANKS AGAIN TO ALL FOR ANOTHER WONDERFUL GET-TOGETHER! BY THE WAY, KAILAN
BA KAYO PUPUNTA SA CHICAGO??? OF COURSE, PAKIDALA NA RIN YUNG LOBSTERS,
OYSTERS, WINES AND I PROMISE I WILL COOK THE CHICHARONG BULAKLAK AGAIN!!!

Ron - Hi ! What are you saying na tahimik kami in
person pero matataray sa e-mail? I beg to disagree,
bro!
Ngayong nabasa mo na yung sagot ni Vix, naiintindihan
mo na ba? Di pa kami natutulog sa lagay na yun!
Dalas-dalasan pa natin ang mga get together at ikaw na
ang mataranta ka sa kaguluhan namin. Tamo si Romie.
Look nga, meron na agad tayong new love team, ay hindi
pala - love triangle pa. Amee-Romie-Lani. Salamat sa
pag-share mo sa amin ng wine harvest from Napa valley.
Madalas ka din lang naman duon, mag-one day tour
tayong lahat at type ko yung mga beauty at health spa
sa Calistoga and St. Helena.
Vix- nambibisto ka ha! Remember this :next time, don't
schedule your return flight the morning after our
party. Mahirap ! Well, it was good to see you again -
marami ka ng admirers sa iyong singing voice,
sigurado sa LV, the spotlight is yours for the karaoke
hour. Pila pa rin kami sa tarot card readings mo. At
yung "killing-me-softly" mo (chicharon bulaklak) ay
hit-na-hit rin. Multi-talented ka talaga.
Richie - ikaw nga ba ang designated driver ng lahat
after we had left? Anong oras ka na nakauwi?
Tsk! tsk! tsk! .. you are a true sweet friend, kulang ang
buong weekend for all the catching up we need to do,
26 years ba naman! Sana pahiram ka uli sa amin ni
Anthony at ng mga kids mo. I know a mom really has to
juggle her schedule to please all. Did I make a good
impression on your young daughter, inspired na ba siya
to follow my footsteps in the world of forensics?
Noel and Tirso - galing naman at napasama kayo sa
aming all-nighter sa Sacramento. We had the chance to
get to know you better. Noel - happy ba ang b-day
celebration mo? Tirso - totoo bang crackers lang ang
kinakain mo at every-other-day lang ang food intake?
WOW, pwedeng-pwede ka pala sa Survivor reality show.
All your efforts paid off with your new slim and
svelte physique. Ako rin, desperate din ako to lose
weight, pero on second thought, pagkain na nga lang
ang natira kong joy in life.
Alex R. - ty for coming and sa mga kakanin na dala mo.
Next time, magtagal-tagal ka naman at wag ka namang
mambu-buking. Dahil sa iyo na-cut short tuloy ang
aming mix-up-names fun. Wag mong intindihin ang
pang-aasar sa iyo nila Noel, labs na labs ka niya.
Marissa Pablo -Argana -isa ka pang survivor, my dear.
Hats off ako sa iyo with your very strong
personality. Wala na yatang mas makulay na buhay pa
kaysa sa iyo. Next time, we'll plan out our activities
so there'll be more interaction (as you asked) amongst
us para marinig natin ang mga pinagdaanan natin since
PCS days. Mag truth or consequence kaya tayo? Make
sure you will be in LV, ha?
Gerry - don't play favoritism. Kung hahanapan mo si
Conch ng prospective partner, dapat you have to treat
us fairly at hanapan mo kaming lahat. Maraming single
and available ladies form batch 75 - gusto mo ba ng
listahan at ang aming mga requirements? Buti pa ang
Siamese twin ko na si Amee, nakabingwit na.
Romie - baket hindi ka na sumasagot uli. Natambakan
ka na naman ba ng labada, plantsa at linis?

Hi batch mates!
Thanks for welcoming me to the group. Ngayon pa lang napi-feel kong mabibinat
ako sa katatawa sa mga love segments dito. Sorry kung medyo delayed ang
responses ko kasi nagkaroon na naman ako ng stint sa isang 5-star hotl.
(Seton Hospital). Alam nyo naman ang BC survivor, di pa malaman kung aling
internal organ ang ipapa tune-up ko. May palagay akong lemon nga ako pero
I will make sure napa overhaul ko na for the LV Reunion.
I really enjoyed all your company. From the limo service courtesy of Knowell
(belated Happy Birthday!), Mars, Ron, Gerry and Richie, to the morning still
awake-over at Lani's mansion, then to the Billy and Annabelle's Bar & Grill
with Buffet & Ballroom on the side.
You all look good and gave a lasting impression that I will always cherish
(Hilo pa ako sa Sex on the Beach... l! asang isa pa nga). Its wonderful to
meet your families (nakakaiyak...sana ako rin...maybe soon pwera ang drunken
master and mala Mike Tyson kong acquaintance). Agree ka ba Jane? Hats off ako
kay Tina, Annabelle, Ella, Luz and Anthony, magagaling kayong mamili ng partners
kinuha ninyo sa pcs batch 1975. I really felt the sense of belonging amongst
our batch, more than friends, we are indeed one big family. (Yikes! Sino kaya
ang panganay? Malamang walang aamin.)
ST (special thanks) to my cousin Lhu and buddy Lani (oks ang fine dining mo)
for taking time in locating me before the Hayward reunion. Alam kong alam nyo
na matakaw ako. Lani, huwag ka ng ma-depress sa Romie-Amee "over the buffet
table" loveteam. Baka makarating pa kayo sa Jerry Springer show. Hahanap
tayo ng taga Northwest.
Romie and Amee, para kayong Brad Spit and Jennifer Ameestrong kung gumimick.
Merong evidence ng over the shoulder caress sa photos natin. Lakas ng dating
ng "pulis Maynila" natin! (Ano kamo Amee waiter na ngayon? Kaya pala may
apron under the uniform siya.)
Pero si Gerry ibang Klase "smooth and gentle" ang image sa mga girls with
body guard effect. Lalo na kapag nakakain ka na ng lobster niya ...medyo
mamumula ang paningin mo sa dami ng dinala niya. By the way, my brother
(Edgar) is a friend of your brother (Boy Tan) during our nostalgic Makati
days. Ikaw rin 20's ang dating, "boy next door kuno" at "darling of the
bagets". Neighbors kasi kami noon.
Si August "whatta men" ang dating ng muscles niya pati ang dala niyang
talaba maskulado din...so juicy and delicious...I was referring to the
talaba.(JL-joke lang)
Vix (with her fantastic CB) and Tirso (slim siya talaga), tyvm for your
free concert for the benefit of the pcs foundation. Ni-re-request with
standing ovation! ang re-make ng singing duo nyo sa LV reunion.
(Galing nyo talaga!)
And speaking of entertainment, hindi pahuhuli ang ating dance pairs na
Billy and Annabelle plus Dennis and Ella. Pang Latin-American dance contest
ang styles nila. Gerry and Tina next na kayo kaya prepare the dance floor in LV.
Mars, sa wakas at our mature age ni Jane (40's) nakatikim na rin kami ng
"Sex on the Beach" at may shakin' n rollin' pa. Very accommodating ka talaga
bar tender na, limo driver pa at hgit sa lahat dance instructor.
Jane, talagang napuyat ako kina Lani meron kasing maingay matulog sa room
(sino kaya?). Huwag mo ng ituro si Amee dahil hindi siya papayag. Tatlo lang
naman tayo don. Hayaan nyo ipagdadala ko kayo ng ear plugs. Basta kasama ko
pa rin kayo sa room next time.
Ron, salamat for being a good samaritan at nakauwi ako sa Daly City and for
the wine na talaga naman hanggang gabi ay walang tigil ng kakatanong ng
"Would you like red or white?" Tipsy kami at puyat kaya medyo shy-der ang
mga girls but malambing not mataray. (Pumayag ka na kuya!)
Conch and Alex, thanks for being reserved and quiet kasi it brought back
memories of our pcs days when we were unexposed to the outside world.
(Stage of innocence kung baga)
Well, overall, the fun, thrill and excitement of our Hayward reunion brought
delight to my heart. See yah all!
Marissa Pablo-Argana (huhuhu...sinasabi ko na nga ba hindi ako dapat nag-asawa)
