mock reunion

anything but fancy. this is how i would best describe the get-together that i have in mind for my batch. you see, since our beloved high school has done nothing to prepare for the reunion of its alumni, i took it upon myself as a (self-imposed) duty to see to it that my batch would have a decent homecoming by 2006. i thought, perhaps, two years would suffice to turn such into reality. the preparation has to start now. but uh-oh, the ordeal was beyond description. we have to set the 4 W's... both the date and the venue are pains in the a**. i have posted several messages on the bulletin of www.friendster.com, but only a few responded. luckily, with a huge help from thea, my high school friend, we got everything fixed. THE DAY... 30 minutes past 7 in the evening, thea and i are trembling, not only due to the chilly air that night but also because a hefty sum of money, and all our efforts, are at stake... but the gods are good and a bunch of batchmates came one after another. enough to pay for everything spent =) whew (sigh of relief)!!! s**t, akala ko estafa na!!!! i would not go into the details of how it went. it is enough that everyone went home with a smile, i suppose! =) my big thanks to the people who cared to share with us their time: abi geromo [sabi mo babalik ka?], reynaldo rodio [di ba sabi sa yo ok lang yun! labyu friend!], ang mga gumuwapo pa lalo --- eric eusebio, arnel laus, archival perez, jerdick marinas, oliver dorado and peter tapia, orlandp cruz [ipapasara ko yang shell mamplasan na yan eh di ka na bumalik!], ava cabrera [thanks for leading the prayer], shiela sajulan [ang aga mo friend!], monica almeida [despite the harassing day she had, she still came-and ever pretty pa din], lourdes tagum [the ever-dyoza who came in a very revealing attire, sorry sa mga di nakakita], marius landicho, pamela andaya, jocelyn vallo-medina [thanks sa pancit po!], johna ramirez [and rabi], marvin castro [mr.bigtime!], the three most beautiful women that night --- liberty puyal, kathleen buenaflor and laiza cano-acosta, madema flores [panyera!], angelito calupitan [panyero!], genesis diaz [maraming salamat po!], our CAT officers --- dickson raymundo, ernest hader, jhigz edquilag, larmi ortega-de mesa and heidi balsicas, mga ka-tagay --- francis hasil, jerico camasosa, arvin gavino, randy pineda, don manzano, omar lopez [the last two being the culprits why i had gone from sober to uber-wasted], maan miranda, roxanne feliciano and milen remolacio, and the very charming emcee that night, thea albaytar [single pa po,hehe]...
