Magandang araw sa inyong lahat! It's sunny na naman, sana ay nakalabas na si bagyong 'Lawin'!

Manny Cortez -> wow, ang haba ng 50th birthday celebration mo ha! It only means that you're really such a good person kaya ang daming gustong makipag-celebrate sa iyo & obviously I'm one of them. For sure, lahat ng araw that you celebrated your special day were memorable sa iyo at sa lahat ng mga guests mo (classmates, batchmates, friends, relatives & siyempre your immediate family members). Ang daya mo, di ba sabi ko hindi ka exempted sa mga na-roast when it comes sa mga naging crush/crushes ninyo? Hindi mo yata nabanggit kong sino ang pinaka-crush mo nung nasa high school tayo. Amininin!!! I'm happy to see all those nice & stolen shots taken sa Racks, ang daming kuha pala, thanks to your pretty daughter

Ehris -> hi friend! Happy to read your latest message. Tama lang na maging magkakaibigan tayo, that is if we can feel the sincerety of everyone. You're right when you've said na "from little things, big things grow...", first & foremost, nung umpisahan itong forumotion ay iilan lang kami until it ballooned sa dami natin ngayon, ganun din yung mga hindi natin naging classmates in high school, dito tayo nagkaroon ng magandang foundation to know each other & become friends na rin, sana nga mas dumami pa tayo at mas maging close sa bawa't isa. Ano ba yan, upto now ay umaatake pa rin ang sinusitis mo? I thought last week ay hihingi ka na ng prescription from your doctor ng antibiotics, natuloy ka ba to see him? Hope you will be better soon. Ingat

Ronnie L. - thanks for your call! At least nakapag-post ka ulit dito at kung medyo nalilito ka pa rin, pls. don't hesistate to call me & I'm very much willing to assist you

Pareng James -> musta ka na? Resting like a baby ka ba? Kayo talagang mga boys, imagine si Ronnie Labao pala ay tinandaan pa mismo ang name nung magandang nurse, he was operated in his sinusitis last month yata. Basta't magagandang babae, you don't even care talaga kahit oras na ng operation ninyo. Hayan, marami na ang gustong makipagkita at makipaglaro sa iyo kapag nagbakasyon ka sa Pinas

Pareng June & Mareng Prislette -> Musta na ulit kayo? Hope to read your messages here soon. Kumusta rin daw sa inyo from my husband Roel. Their vessel left Long Beach last Aug. 20 & they will be going naman sa Africa, mga more than 1 month voyage din iyon

Larry -> how are you? Busy? I know medyo dumaan din diyan sa Baguio particularly in Ifugao yung bagyong 'Lawin', hope you're all ok there.

To all of you my dear starbatchers -> hello & warm regards!

Always,
Letty

Ehlee/Elie



Just want to shere this....


Psalms 90:17
May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us- yes, establish the work of our hands.

Many of us begin our careers with the goal of achieving success. If we haven't entered our work as a result of God's calling, we will eventually face a chasm of deep frustration and emptiness. Success flatters but does not provide a lasting sense of purpose and fulfillment. So often we enter careers with wrong motives-money, prestige, and even pressure from parents or peers. Failing to match our work with our giftedness and calling is like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. If that happens over an extended period, a person crashes.

At this time, many make another mistake. Businesspeople think that beginning a new career in "full-time Christian work" will fill the emptiness they feel. However, this only exacerbates the problem because they are again trying to put another square peg into a round hole. The problem is not whether we should be in "Christian work" or "secular work," but rather what work is inspired by gifts and calling. If you are a Christian, you are in full-time Christian work, whether you are driving nails or preaching the gospel. The question must be, are you achieving the God-given calling for your life? God has called people into business to fulfill His purposes just as much as He has called people to be pastors or missionaries.

It is time for businesspeople to stop feeling like second-class citizens for being in business. It is time businesspeople stop working toward financial independence so that they can concentrate on their "true spiritual calling." This is the great deception for those called to business.

Significance comes from fulfilling the God-given purpose for which you were made. Ask Him to confirm this in your own life.

bye for now....

Hi Manny, sobrang saya talaga natin lately at palagi kang nasa paligid. Ikaw nga yata ang guardian angel ng batch ngayon ano? Hay naku...alam ko yung mga biro mo... nakakatuwa na pag-usapan ang ating mga crushes noon nang wala nang malisya kasi matured na tayo ngayon. I will always remember the good old times without shame because that was the product of our youthful exuberance. Kasama na doon ang mga crushes natin, ang mga nagpatibok ng ating mga bata pang puso, ang mga nagbigay sa atin ng inspiration. Nagkatuluyan man ngayon o hindi ang mga mag boyfriends noon, kasama yung sa ating pinagdaanang buhay. We have two choices...forget it OR remember....reflect...add it to our life's learning journey and bring it forward to our future life's destination.

MANNY.ACE.FRESH

LATELY AY KATOTOHANAN SA ATING BATCHMATES SA NGAYON.

Kasi Manny Ace Cagape, may mga Alumni Association that they award recognitions sa mga kabatchmates nila bilang most successful, most promising, most and best etceteras. IT'S BEEN AN ISSUE EVEN LONG BEFORE SA MGA ALUMNI ASSOCIATIONS AT SANA SA ATING BATCH WALANG GANYAN, KASI AKO ANG UNANG SISIGAW PARA LABANAN 'YAN. ANG FOREMOST INTENTION DAPAT KASI NG ALUMNI AY HINDI ANG TAO SA BATCH KUNG HINDI ANG MGA TAONG MATUTULUNGAN SA ALMA MATER, HINDI ITO PAGEANT OR OLYMPICS O FAMAS/OSCAR AWARDS NA PWEEDENG MAGTAGISAN NG GALING. Kasi insulto sa nakararami yan di ba. SANA WAG NATING GAWING ISYU ANG SINO ANG PINAKAMATAGUMPAY SA LAHAT.

SA ANOMANG STUDIES NA GINAGAWA BETWEEN 2 TOPICS... LIKE HEIGHT AS A MEASURE OF SUCCESS OR BRAIN? mahirap i-decide yan. FIRST BOTH TOPICS ARE RELATIVE. AND THE PICTURE OF SUCCESS WILL ALWAYS DEPEND ON THE PERSON LOOKING AT THE 2 ISSUES.... kasi naman, sa maraming bagay given two studies most often than not, they do not require reconciliation, tama? but rather they merely illustrate how imperfect our grasp remains of a fundamental issue 'di ba? sa ehemplo natin between physical growth and mental ability — that researchers have been struggling to understand for more than a century, di ba 'til now one cannot absolutely say that height is the key to success cuz others will insist that height may only be a success in showbiz but not in economics. IN THE SAME TOKEN, IT APPLIES TO THE MEASURE OF SUCCESS? SA ESTADO BA NGAYON BASED SA STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES? O BASE SA PEACE OF MIND AND FEELING OF SELF-ACTUALIZATION KAHIT WALA SILANG KOTSE AY TOTOONG MATAGUMPAY? Between the issues of 'height and brain' sociologists' measures of cognition remain tentative, and 'yung quantification of emotional or social intelligence nila does not enter into the formulations at all. While understandable, gusto kong i-stress out that, depende kasi sa tumitingin sa dalawang isyung pagpipilian eh, kung sa brains at may economic consideration may problema pa ito... kung ang economist’s focus on income as the key determinant of success ang bibigyan natin ng halaga aber, this will merely reflect a narrow bandwidth of human value at kababawan ito; o look at this: in economic studies of this sort, penniless artists like Vincent Van Gogh or impoverished leaders like Mahatma Gandhi O ANG EHEMPLO NI THELMA NA SI MOTHER THERESA would be examples of bad labor market outcomes KUNG ANG MEASURE NG SUCCESS AY STATUS NG TAO PHYSICALLY AND FINANCIALLY SPEAKING. Naghirap sila sa respective worlds na ginalawan nila pero tingnan niyo na mga pandaigdigang tagumpay sila sa mga pinaglaban nila!!! IBA KASI ANG ISANG TAONG MAY PINAGLALABAN, ISAISIP NATIN YAN, HINDI KASI LAHAT MARUNONG LUMABAN.

POR EHEMPLO, siguro may masasabi sakin ang Karamihan kung sabihin kong SAKIN IDA-DROP KO SI EDGARDO SURBAN AT IKAW MANNY ACE SA ISANG STANDARD OF SUCCESS NA SA AKIN HINAHANGAAN KO ANG MGA TAONG NASA MILITAR AT WELL TRAVELLED KASI di ko kaya ang ginawa nila o TAKOT AKO SA DALAWA, MILITARY AND TRAVEL. EHEMPLO LANG ITO MGA DONG AT NENE... KUNG SA BABAE NAMAN KUKUNIN KO SI NOREENA PA DIN KASI MAY STANDARD AKO SA SIMPLISIDAD (totoo ito kasi kunserbatibo ako til now) AT WALANG SOPISTIKASYONG KABABAIHAN NA LABAS ANG TOTOO AT WALANG KULAY, SO MAY KANI-KANYA TAYO NG SUKAT SA TAGUMPAY. PWEDE KO DING PILIIN SI ELMER DE GUZMAN KASI SUPER HIRAP SIYANG HANAPIN AND I CAN COME UP WITH A UNIQUE STANDARD OF ADMIRING HIM FOR KEEPING HIMSELF SO PRIVATE CUZ HE MIGHT NOT WANT TO BE CHOSEN AS THE MOST SUCCESSFUL IN THE LIGHT OF HIS HUMBLE PREFERENCE!

IN SHORT AS TO THE CHOICE OR MEASURES AND STANTARDS VERY COMPLEX ANG PAPASUKIN SIYAN. You will definitely agree with me... Sa mga ibang mahihirap pwede nilang piliin yung ma-pera as matagumpay, di ba kababawan ito? kasi yun ang pinakikinabangan nila at pwedeng abusuhin. KAYA EWAN KO SANA MABASA NG MGA NEW SET OF OFFICERS NA WALANG KARAPATAN ANG MGA LIDERATO NA HUSGAHAN NA ANG ISA AY MAS TAGUMPAY KESA SA ISA LALO NA KUGN SASAKUPIN ITO NG MGA TAONG BUMUBUO NG ISANG ALUMNI ASSOCIATION. It is human nature to compare, yes recognition is something llike a social need but please consider the kind of group we belong, IT'S AN ALUMNI ASSOCIATION,we're not in a competition. I HOPE WALA PANG NANGYAYARING BEST, BEST SA GROUP NATIN! Kug hindi definitely unacceptable 'yan sa isang alumni association!

Sana magkumento ang lahat dito please. kasi mga isyu itong pwedeng simulan ng pagkabahabahagi at evn makasakit ng mga batchmates ang PAGTATANGI. Pwedeng may tumayo sa'tin ang most successful si Kasmoothie kasi ang standard niya unikong panggugulo. Haaaay buhay, si LARRY TAN hindi lang taong tatayong tagapagbigay ng brainteasers o braintwisters. HAHAMON DING MAGINGAT ANG LAHAT NG MAIUUPO SA TUNGKULN KASI LEBITA!!! Kawanggawa ha, please!!!! Sobra na hirap ng mga tao, pls reach out!!!! Wag makasarili, there is always a sense of fulfilment in leadership but true leadership is lonely if you only KNOW how to do it God's way! Leadership is not trying to impress people, but accomplish what God wants you to do. POLITICS CAN BE WITTY, CUNNING AND DECEIPTFUL, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY BEFORE YOU SLEEP, THE LORD KNOWS THE MOTIVE OF YOUR HEART!!!!!

Nagkausap nga kami ni Incredible Hulk, sabi niya sakin sabihin ko daw na, YOU WOULDN'T LIKE ME WHEN YOU'RE SITTED ALREADY, AND I GOT ANGRY! hahahaha... MGA KA-BATCHMATES, PAGNAGSIMULA NA ANG BUSINESS NAMIN NI MISIS, MAAARING BIHIRA NA KO DITO SO I AM THINKING OF PUTTING UP MODERATORS IN OUR SITE. MY AMERICAN FRIEND TOLD ME THERE'S A FEATURE HERE WHERE I MAY ASSIGN MODERATORS. Hindi ako mahalagang tao, kasi sakin ang mahalaga si Hesus lang... tama ang sinabi ni Jaime Dungca, basahin niyo!!! GALIT KASI AKO SA MGA TAONG MATANDA NA, MAPAGSAMANTALA PA, BASTOS PA ANG BIBIG, MANYAKIS PA, MAPANG-ABUSO, MAPANIRA NG KAPWA SA TALIKURAN... PARANG WALANG PINAGKATANDAAN!!! 'YAN BA ANG LEGACYNG IIWAN NATIN SA SUSUNOD NA HENERASYON? AT SILA PA BA ANG KAKAMPIHAN NATIN? ANG KAKASAMAHIN NATIN KUNG MGA TAONG WALANG PAGBABAGO SA GANYANG SISTEMA? KALUOY GID!!! Pero sa mga hindi ganun, napakapusong mamon ko ika ng ani Thelma, at wala kayong maririnig sakin kundi ang suporta ko sa panalangin.

Let me end this post with Ecclesiastes 12:13:
"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter; Fear God and keep His commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. ¹⁴For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil."

What really is life to us batchmates

by James Dungca Yesterday at 8:20Hi Batchmates,
I’m back again nakakasawa dito panay upo nood eat bulaga,wowowie,at kung ano pang anik anik. But somehow there is a reflection when I am alone here reminiscing the past that had gone through in my life. Nuon, we are but one and the same, dependent to our parents hingi ng pera pambli ng kung anong anik anik. Sometimes going to places with friends and classmates during weekends. I remember the times in high school where we all do nothing but study, enjoy life mingling around classmates and friends. Staying longer than we could in Araullo and then off we go hom. A little bit of house hold chores, watch tv and then start to prepare assignment and review long test papers, in World History perhaps. Exciting yet boring.

Those high school life, perhaps are the best years that we can’t afford to loose, but as the end nears we have to say let go…wishing high school and classmates and friends goodbye and we were bound in the midst of a more challenging task that lies ahead. We then focus on each of our lives, how we could build the future in our own way. Parents are the guiding symbols of all the destiny that we are bound to explore. But sometimes, we are denied of the destiny because of the many factors beyond control. But the challenge to move on remain there and to fulfill the dreams of success still lingers no matter what it entails.

Then time move on so fast, yet we keep struggling and living the past behind. Some people I know have struggled so hard and reap the harvest of success. Yet I met friends I knew, classmates whom I remember, yet only to find out lots of miseries have gone astray. Hooked with bad habits and never recover until they have nowhere to find the right path. I can’t help but do nothing. It’s life that they choose. We all have our life to choose. But beyond this comes the question, what are we here on earth for? Only to survive in the same way thousand years back when people eat and survive just like that ? Things remain the same isn’t it? In a way it’s yes because we are still on earth struggling and keeping ourselves alive. Only it differs in many perspective because the generation has gone too far ahead of time. With the many technologies abound and a lot of changes that happened and is still happening. Yet the earth remains the same. Sun comes up and down, the moon and stars appear and disappear and a new beginning unfolds everyday.

Looking back in times and in todays’ life, we are now become parents to our children. Sooner than we expect a grandparents. And then comes the most painstaking task of being left alone, idling and wanting for help, being guided and waiting for the time to bid goodbye on earth. I tell this because all of us batchmates will become “batchmates” too when this time comes, because we are of the same age and generation. But these are facts we can’t control. We all have to say goodbye on this earth. But I knew we have shared whatever it is on this earth be it good or bad. We will leave memories that will cherish only in dreams. For all of us here, the memories will linger forever….but I am certain that the legacy we built in this world is there for keeps. Just like the times when Jose Rizal was a young boy, we all have the same path, moving on to where we should be. And history will judge us when we lay down ourselves.

But perhaps, it is a question of fulfillment or failure that we have to ask ourselves. Are we here on earth only to be justified by history? I don’t think so. Just as when Jesus Christ came down on earth, He gave meaning to the true value of life on earth. To love and value the goodness that we can share to others and to ourselves. Perhaps yet, I have at least fulfilled that values, where I live this world with a true meaning, and that is to Love God and to fulfill what the Lord teaches . To be aware that life is meaningful if we Love God and share the blessings and the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ. And from there, we can bid goodbye on earth, happy and yet satisfied. [EMPHASIS ADMIN'S]

Permit me Dudong Dungca to post a sound track sa message mo, my composition, "May Sampal na Pabalik", kaya ingat tayo sa buhay, may pagbalik ito!



“SAMPAL NA PABALIK”

Sadyang minsan ang buhay ay pagsubok
Na Dios mismo ang nagpapaalala
Upang kilalaning Siya ang may tangan ng buhay,
Hininga at lahat na inakalang atin.

Sadyang minsan ang Dios ay sumusubok
Kaya’t ang buhay ay may hatid na lungkot
‘Wag kang maghiganti sa mga taong kinasangkapan
Upang kamay ng Dios ay gawin kang ganap!

Tulay
Binigyan mo ba ng halaga
Ang sampal na lumapat sa kanya?

Koro
Sinampal si Hesus at babalik sa iyo
Sa oras na tanggihan mo ang bisa nito
Pagpaptawad, ‘di paghihiganti ang mensaheng hatid sa iyo
‘Wag akalaing sa dinaranas mo ngayon
Nagbabaliwala Siya…
Sapagkat ang krus ay sampal, may sampal na Pabalik…
o… ooooh…..

Ang Dios ay hindi mapaghiganti
tulad ng iniisip ng karamihan sa atin
di ba sumagi sa isipan mo…
Ang kasalanan ang syang may pagsingil
Kahit minsan pa’y magbalik loob tayo
May hatid pait ang sana’y kay Kristo sinuko…
( ulitin ang tulay sa koro)

Koda
Sana ang sampal kay Kristo
ay pahalagahan mo…
upang walang sampal…
na bumalik sayo!
(Ulitin ang tulay at koro)
o… oooooh….oooooooaaahhhhhhh
o…oooooh….oooooooaahhhhhhh!

Batchmates, please tell me if you approve of this skin hane? Just tell me, what color is your preference. Kasi kung medyo white ang background masakit sa matang magbasa, so I thought of this. Please comment! Okay ba o palitan natin? PWEDE NATING BAGUHIN ANG COLOR NG FONTS... PLS MAKE A SUGGESTION!

Hello to all of you my dear batchmates!

Larry -> Medyo nagulat ako when I saw the big change of our AHS Starbatch Forumotion link, I thought naligaw ako eh! Nag-iba ang color ng background & the other features too, pati ang print ng messages namin ay colored na rin. Sa akin parang very bright sa mata, maybe other color than black, yung tipong pastel color sana ang pinaka-background, kasi any color kapag nadagdag sa black ay parang nagiging reflector ang dating. Anyhow, kung ok lang sa iba, then ok na rin to me. I read & absored everything you've posted & I even agree to you na maganda talaga ang message ni Pareng James, which you re-posted again for all of us to read. I also believe na, "ang buhay natin ay hiram lang & it's God who knows when our lives will be taken back from our loved ones, kaya nga, we really have to make the most of it & our strong faith with him will always be in our heart, ganun din sa puso ng lahat ng mga mahal natin sa buhay. Thanks too for posting the video & the nice lyrics of the song, ilang beses ko ring ni-replay iyon kasi ang sarap pakinggan

Elie & Thelma -> hello to both of you! Nice to read your respective messages here. Nakakatuwa kapag madalas namin mabasa ang message na galing sa inyo, kahit busy kayo sa work & sa family rin ninyo

Manny.Ace.Fresh -> ikaw din ha, sipag mong magpost & as if you're always in good mood. Pinoy na pinoy ka pa rin kahit matagal ka ng wala rito sa Pinas, kasi ang dami mo pa ring natatandaang mga pinoy actors/actresses & comedians as well (old/young & new), is it because of Channel 2 & 7's overseas Filipino channel or sa mga magazines

Just a thought : "It seems to me we should be true & kind to those whose lives touch yours & mine!"

Regards to all of you,
Letty

Isang mapagpalang hapon sa inyong lahat ..

Medyo naninibago ako rito sa ating "site" naging verry colorfull I agree with Mareng Letz suggested skin.

Brod Larry - Nag confirm na yong aking paboritong PI. Mag surveillance daw siya ulit sa Pateros bukas
and get information about Elmer. Pag wala pa tayong resulta , palagay ko si kaibigang Manny Fresh Ace ang makakatulong dahil sa nasa America raw ang ating subject. Pagamit na niya mga special sattellite tracking device nila. What do you think Manny Boy?

Napaka enlightening nang mga nasulat rito tungkol sa ating pagkatao. Ang inyong mga ibinahaging pananaw tungkol sa ating buhay buhay ay isang pagkaing pangkaisipan na dapat nating paglinay linayan at namnamin. ......

About 4 years ago when i was assigned in Malaysia for a short stint, I have Indian friends who always greet me NAMASTE with their hands place together close to their heart, with close eyes and bow their head. I learned that it is a ancient Sanskrit word that means
" I BOW TO THE DEVINE IN YOU" (I respect the place in you that is of love, of truth and of Light. When you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me then we are one.)

A favorite writer of mine DEEPAK CHOPRA defines Namaste as an Indian expression used as a greeting or upon parting, by putting the palms of the hands together in prayer position. It means, “I honor the Spirit in you which is also in me.” This, of course, is also a way of saying, “I recognize that we are all equal

To all of you my friends and batchmates I offer my" NAMASTE"
Happy week end to all of you.

KUNG MAGCHAT DIN PO KAYO IMBES NA LUMABAS KAYO NG YAHOO MESSENGER, MAY SARILI NA PO TAYONG CHATBOX NA PWEDE TAYO-TAYONG MAGUSAP KUNG MAGKASABAYAN TAYONG MAGPOST. O KAYA PWEDE KAYONG MAKI-APPOINTMENT KUNG WHAT TIME NYONG GUSTONG MAGCHAT. NASAN ANG FEATURE NG CHATBOX NATIN?

HIT HOME AT THE UPPER LEFT CORNER AND PRESTO NANDOON PO!!!

AT SANA MAGUSTUHAN NIYO ANG BAGONG SKIN NG ATING FORUMOTION IN PREPARATION SA ATING 1ST YEAR ANNIVERSARY, MAS MUKHA KASING PINOY ITO. Pinalakihan ko din ang mga fonts para old eyes-friendly hahaha!!! BTW, ITO ANG SKIN NG AMING HOME4MISSIONARIES BLOG NAMIN, ITO MAS MAGANDA, MAS PEARL OF THE ORIENT SEAS ANG DATING. PARA SA INYO PONG LAHAT ANG MAGANDANG TULUYANG ITO....

WELCOME TO VERY SPECIAL PEOPLE, MGA KAPWA KO BARISTA ARAULLIANS!!!


WHAT IS A BARISTA? When using the term in English jargon, "barista" refers to one who has acquired some level of expertise in the preparation of espresso-based coffee drinks. Within certain circles, its meaning is expanding to include what might be called a "coffee sommelier;" a professional who is highly skilled in coffee preparation, with a comprehensive understanding of coffee, coffee blends, espresso, quality, coffee varieties, roast degree, espresso equipment, maintenance, latte art, etc.

Larry,
Thank you so much for appreciating the message I posted here for all our batchmates. I kept this with me all throughout my life observing the way things that happen and is happening in this world. I believe my message conforms to some people who might have been misled in one way or another. I am banking on your ideas where your basis in keeping the alumni association true to it’s form is on how we should focus in helping people in our alma mater. That’s a very positive outlook in life and win-win situation. A good idea indeed, yet it is not that easy to explore.

But somehow, I still give due respect to batchmates who were indeed given due recognition by the alumni association as what you said is… the best in their anik anik…ek ek.. etc etc…it is a recognition that others will and should emulate because success is a word that inscribe hardwork, perseverance and determination. We tend to believe that in this new generation if we don’t succeed we are what we call “isang kahig isang tuka” lang na tao. Specially in times like this where the world moves around with money and fame, power and success. Pag wala ka nito, you are nuts. Success for me has a greater impact to people with good intentions in life. Why because it is a guiding principle to people who wants to live a fruit full life. It connotes a clear message to others that people who succeed should be an example worthy to emulate. But again, there is this reflection that I want all of us to know, I love to give due respect to batchmates who succeed in their own right and yet showed faith and love to our Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour. To this, I for one would recognize Larry as one that befits this recognition.

Time to move on to other more relaxing mood and happy moments to all the batcmates. I for one is truly happy to find time to open this forumation and share my ideas to everyone. Let’s get it on batchmates…here we go !!

Mareng Ehrie,
How are you na Mards? Alam mo you are right I know it is Eloisa Avila not Racquel Patena who I saw in entertainment television and made a single hit pero dna nagtuloy ulit. I was surprised when Raquel sent me an email that she said she saw my pics dun sa multiply.com courtesy of our very own Manny Cortez. Hindi ko talaga siya namukhaan sa pics niya dun and yet sabi sa akin pogi daw ako hehehehe at very young looking pa.wow naman parang tutoo…and to add more spice, I browse the multiply again, opened a lot of pics dun sa despedida party ba yun ni Merly Diaz. From there I saw these guys..grabe at diko tlaga marecognize. Paulit ulit kong tinitingnan ang hirap makilala. Ganito ba talaga after 30 yrs and yet mahirap na makilala sila?
Until mga 10 minutes and slowly then, ayun kako si Bayani yung all white hair, the other one wearing t-shirt is Mario Inosanto,the one sitting with white hair at mejo slim is Menard Amoroso, of course I know Rudy Victor Ingiaen, and gosh si Dwight Solidum siguro yung payat. Yung iba tlaga ang hirap makilala. And to all the girls I saw before in high school and the picture now……kahit isa wala akong nakilala…or is it matanda na ako talaga??
Hay naku buhay parang life tlaga….

Mareng Letty,
Mards, musta na rin? I’m feeling strong now at maayos na ako at recuperating na rin. Ganun pala pag walang magawa kung ano ano ang mga nasusulat na message. Thanks din you appreciated it. Lumabas lang ang aking pagiging Journalist nuon nung high school. Me kwento ako I’m sure matatawa ka dahil kasama ko si Master Triffy…master Triffy I know you will read this and I can recall what happened nuon eto na… since I was a new student sa Journalism with Mr. Vazques, I and master Triffy were given assignment by Mr. Vazquez to interview very successful alumni ng Araullo hi school and he mentioned one top executive dun sa isang company somewhere sa U.N. avenue malapit sa MH Del pilar, yung papuntang American Emabssy sa Roxas blvd. We prepared a lot of questionaires in English at bago magpunta don minememorize ko ang mga questions. I told Triffy I will make the interview in English stay put ka lang jan akong bahala hehehehe…so from there we found tha office and personally met the exectuve.

Greetings were in English and some few ek ek na kung ano ano to open up the conversations. Turo ni Mr. Vazquez no? So we were asked to sit down in his office. Kinabahan na po ako hehehehe…parang nabigla ako. Then the boss said, so what made you to come and visit me here? Bumanat nako ng English…sus puro ahh…ehhh.. tapos paputol putol ang english ko pati tanong nagrambulan na. Ano ba to kako ang hirap pala sa actual hehehe…siguro sa inis nung pobre, sabi sa akin wg mo na kasing englisin tagalugin mo na lang para madali. Aba ang master Triffy since sanay sa ganitong English conversation inagaw ang korona sa akin at bumanat ng bumanat ng English…kinuha ang questionares ko at tuloy tuloy sa conversation. Si ako naman naging stand by mirror nalang dun at natameme heheheee…in the end the interview was a success and master Triffy simply smile at me at ang sabi sa akin kasi ikaw dapat relax kalang. Kita mo ako kalmado lang. Yan si master Triffy kita mo naman ngayon nasa US na and very successful si best friend…
But today kahit 24 hours ang conversation in English sanay na ako sa dami kong ibat ibang lahi na nameet and work with. Pag barok mag English ang isang lahi kausap ko barok din ako mag English. Pag fluent ahhh…watch me me pa slang slang pa ako ng English no…hehehehhe….

Pareng Ronnie,
At last lumitaw ka rin kala ko naligaw kana. I’m very much alive kabigang friend kayang kaya na ang buhay. Di ka na nagsend ng cv dun ke Adrian kaw tlaga I’m waiting for that wala naman daw. Bahala kana nga. Musta na ang business tol? Maganda yang suggestion mo pag nakauwi ako punta ka sa bahay ko sa Laguna malaki yun…tutumba ako ng baka para syo, pero itayo mo rin ha? Hehehehe... Sayang bumili pako ng 1998 mitsubishi car nuon kaso binenta ko nung 2006 dahil emergency problem mahabang kwento. Kung me car pa ko till now kahit san tayo magpunta walang problema. Look at me and pareng Randy nagkita kami nung 2002 and we stroll around Manila siya nag drive ng car ko pinuntahan namin an aming kinalakihan sa Dart Paco, Paco cemetery kung san dun tayo naglalakad pauwi. Sa UN Avenue, sa Araullo at sa Roxas blvd kung san tayo gumagala nuon. Kaaliw balikan ang kahapon enjoy kami talagang gumalaw ni Pareng Randy nun. But Pareng Randy has a car today at pag anjan pa siya sa Manila at umuwi ako gala tayo gamitin natin car pareng Randy ha?

As promised, please see my GTKPI below. But I have to beg your indulgence kasi iyong pictures di ko pa maayos. I searched for our latest pictures, and I guess it was all in my daughter’s PC. So I have to get it from there to post it here. So may utang pa rin ako.
I like the new format, thanks to Larry! Kudos to you, my friend for your continuous love for this site, and the improvements that you’ve done…. You truly made this home a better place for us, batchmates. And ang galing may chatroom pa! This feature will surely be loved!


MY GTKPI
Name : Ma. Lilia M. Reyes (Ma. Lilia Matias during our high school days)
Birthday: February 4, 1961
Home Address: #2 Adelfa St., Doñ Manuela Subdivision, Las Piñas City
Mailing Address or Mailbox (Lockbox) : same as above
Cellphone No.: 09178343196
Land Phone No.: 8747623
Email Address/es: nmreyes@meralco.com.ph
Friendster (or Other Friendly links): netreyes@multiply.com
Website (if any):
Schools Attended after AHS: St. Paul College, Quezon City
My Work Experiences: First work experience is in a financing firm, then tranferred to Meralco in Jan. 1987. Up to now I am still connected with the Meralco, and my stay with the company has been very fruitful. I am still continuing my studies through other professional organizations, which occupied my time a lot. I have a principle in life where I apply this in my work: In everything I do I put my best.

Happiest School Life was during : (___) – Preschool; (___) – Elementary; (_XX_) – High School; (_X__) – College; (___) – Graduate Studies; (___) – Others
The apple of my eyes (First 3) in AHS: Sorry I already forgot the name, but what I can remember is that may kakambal iyon…. Pogi sila pareho.
My Favorite Subject: almost all
My Favorite Teacher: sorry, forget kol na
My favorite hangout in AHS: not inside the school campus, but outside – it is the Marian Hospital canteen, where the DPANOTS usually eat, and also the small resto near Adamson University where our barkada always see iyong gwapong anak ng may-are
My Favorite Club: The Girls Scout
My Greatest Accomplishmnet in High School: being part of the honor roll
My most Unforgettable Moment in AHS: when I was crowned Ms. Alma Mater, I really could not forget that moment. Di ako makapaniwala, ako ba iyon? Ayaw pa sana akong payagan ng strict na parents ko for the awarding, mantakin mo iyon? Hindi ko alam pano ko explain sa kanila how important it is for me. Anyway, I finally found the right timing to fully explained to them everything, buti na lang napapayag ko rin. Kung hindi pumayag pala sila eh di hindi ako nakilala sa school.

My most Memorable Moment in AHS: Lots of moments together with the DPANOTS, our lakwatsa, our hardships and happiness, our struggle and effort to study and our encounter with boys… lalo na iyong encounter namin with the FEU boy’s (scouts din kasi sila).

My Most treasured Gift that I received from my AHS classmates: from my classmates, I treasure most that I know I was accepted as I am…madali akong makipag-bonding sa mga classmates ko noon. Ang galing ng samahan ng section namin noon. I remember Dodie being the president. Ako naman ang treasurer, ni minsan hindi ako nahirapang maningil sa mga iyon. Magaling makisama lahat.

Tell Something About Yourself now that you want your batchmates to know:

I am happily married now, and that I could say I have reached that time in my life that I could feel fulfillment in the areas of career and my family life. I also have fulfillment in my circle of friends, for I have so many friends from all my different acquaintances. What I look forward to is the other side of my life after I turn 50. Probably, Lola na ko by that time, I am excited what I will be then? And how I wonder what does it feel to have an apo.

My Favorite Movies: My Best Friends Wedding, Noting Hill, An Affair to Remember, Chances Are, and so many others

My Favorite Actresses (both foreign and local) : Julia Roberts, Kim Bassenger

My Favorite Actors (both foreign and local): Richard Gere, Kiano Reeves (this is the crush of my life, gwapo talaga!), Bradd Pitt (galing umarte!), and others

My Favorite comedian/comedienne: Dolphy! Kahit matanda na siya…..

Books that are close to my heart: There are so many……

My Family Now (some info, profiles or insights): I am happily married to Jett Reyes, he hails from Manila. This person knows me completely inside and out, and has always made me laugh. We’ve known each other so well, that even if he does not express his feelings, I could understand what he wanted. We are blessed with three children. The eldest is Paula, Lai to her close friends, who is already working. She graduated from the College of St. Benilde, and took up Multi-media Arts. She is at present earning also from her online selling of t-shirts, which she and her barkada designs. The second is Heidi, who is our very talented daughter. She graduated Valedictorian during her elementary days at Elizabeth Seton School, and also at the honor roll during her high school days at San Beda College, Alabang. During her high school days, she is also a member of the women’s basketball varsity team, which brought our family to numerous events where we almost lost our voices in cheering for them. She is now a sophomore at UP, Diliman taking up B.S. Psycho. Hopefully taking up her medicine proper soon. Our youngest is our street-smart son, Juancho, who is a freshman at San Beda College, Alabang. My husband and I were so glad to have him, akala namin puro girls na ang anak namin eh. You could not hide anything from this young man, he is very observant. As a family, we enjoyed playing tenpin bowling together, going out to the movies, dining in different types of restaurants, or just making pasyal sa mga malls, even divisoria di namin pinapatawad. I always pray to the Lord above for the health of my parents, and parents-in-law. We always wish that they could spend more time with us, so hangga’t kaya namin we do share happy moments with them. Our guiding principle in life: Love our Lord, with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our mind. Follow His words and accept His will.


Joke for the post (day) (or sana pls send clean jokes fr time to time and inspiring stories that you know):
next time din.... promise, but what I wanted to share is an important message to all parents, tried to add it here but I was adviced na mahaba na masyado ang message so I'll post it separately

Do you have any pictures to share? (This is very exciting, if none, no problem):

I promise on my next posting, utang ulit ito ha! Thanks!





From Ehris Ho”
“Hello Nanette, remember me? Naging mag-classmate din tayo i guess 1st or 2nd year. I remember nakapunta pa yata kami sa bahay nyo when we were practising for some choir or a mere gathering ng mga girls. I also enjoy reading your posts, so more to come.
I've seen your recent photo, wow ganun ka pa rin, walang pinagbago, the same Lilia Matias that i remember nung highschool days natin, and your daughter is also pretty like you. Regards to your family as well and ingat ka rin lagi.”

My reply: Sure I remember you, my friend Ehris. Buti na lang you’ve shared with us your photo during your very first postings here. You, too have not changed. Ganda pa rin. I could recall those high school days we spent together. Galing mong mag-recall! Alam mo kaya I enjoyed yours and the others’ postings galing nyo mag-recall ng mga high school days! Nakakaaliw mag-reminisce. I guess, what matters now is that we found each other again, and be friends (yehey!). I thing we should make up for lost time through this forum of ours. I’ve read about your posts, sayang lang nga bihira akong makapag-post because of the busy sched. So now, what I do is to make singit during lunch break. I am really happy to read all your posts. Galing ng sharing of nanay feelings! I could surely relate with you. Be in touch always, ha.

From Randy Nunez
Lilia Matias, how are you doing? I think I recognize you as tall, yet, attractive young lady. I wasn’t lucky to have such height during high school, that is why I never associate with our tall classmates, especially, our lady classmates. Are you Yogee’s friend then?

My reply: Hi, Randy. Yes, tama ka. I am Yogee’s sparring partner back then in our high school days. Why naman shy ka to approach us, kaw talaga. Hindi naman dapat ikahiya ang height. That’s a big no, no for me. Sayang pala hindi tayo nagkaroon ng opportunity to be friends when we are younger, so let’s make up this time, di ba?

From James Dungca
Hi Nanette, Hi Ellie, Hi Prislette
Musta na kayo diyan my beautiful girls ??? Hope everything is okey. Thanks for the concern I’m pretty much ok now. Kayang kaya naman and thank
God hindi naman that critical ang aking angioplasty,buti nga 2 lang blood clot kung 3 yun patay tayo jan, hiwa ang aking mala Adonis na chest at
Mas masakit yun no? Prislette looks pretty much busy an gating nurse ngayon. Wala pa siyang message postings baka nakabili na ng laptop sila ni Jun.
Wow ganda siguro ng laptop mabibili nila hane

My reply: Hello friend, how are you doing? I surely hope you are back to your normal as usual. Please follow strictly your doctor’s advice. I read naiinip ka na, but take it easy. Read and post na lang lagi para may baon kang saya sa pagpapagaling mo. Ang galing naman ng postings mo eh, I really enjoyed reading all of them. Keep on writing!
I noticed my friend that your favorite Expression is- ‘anik -anik”. Natutuwa lang ako with your expression, first time I read it. Marami talaga tayong learning here in our “home”.


From Manny Cortez
thought I’m dreaming...sabi ko na nga ba, i know that FACE, a very beautiful face. Hay naku, puro surprises and I am so happy with all my batchmates that were around that night. Net super ganda ka pa rin, kaya naman NAMUTLA and isa ko pang guest. Ewan ko bakit naging maputi ang kaibigan ko ng gabing yon, HAY!!! sana Manny lagi kang mag birthday (ang sabi nya). To my surprise, noon din pala nakita ulit ni mr dreamer si Lilia (Net pala). Ang saya at talagang super saya ako kasi, that night noon din pala nagkita ulit sina Mathel and Lilia (Net) after more than 30 years. Mga member nga pala sila ng D’Panots. Net, hindi naman ako umiwas sa roast, kaya lang that night it calls for someone to be roasted...the rest is history...masaya naman di ba?

My reply: Thank you for your compliment. Bayaan mo, I promise not to change (for thr worst), sana nga hindi tayo tumanda. But youth is just a state of mind, di ba, and age is just a number. And of course, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. What lies beneath is more beautiful.
Pilyo ka talaga, kayong lahat noong gabing iyon. But anyway, talaga namang masaya. Hindi ko nga halos makain ang handa mo, kasi puno na ang tiyan ko sa katatawa. All of us really enjoyed that night! Ang galing naman ng birthday celebration mo, ang haba pala! I guess this has been very memorable to you. You truly deserve it. Looking forward to seeing all of the group again.

Hay, napagod na ako, time-out muna. Uwi na ako, past 5pm na dito sa office. Till our next post! Walang iwanan!

Till the next post!

God bless you all!!

Hi guys and gals...I just paste and copy of Lettie's intro incase, I might forget someone ( for safe side).

Larry, I thought for a sec, that I went to another site...very nice and vivid colors. Medyo hesitant akong mag-post coz' it might be somewhere that I'll be lost. Talagang bilib na ko and eventhough you're busy guy still have the time to create an amazing site for the kapihan efficionados. I was reading all the postings and I totally agreed about James D what he posted here. Kaya James D. tukayo...I'm sure you'll get a five star if Mr. Vasquez still around and all your escapades during hight school ..talagang priceless...hahaha. Isa ka rin pala sa mga makukulit. I enjoy reading all the high school days and surely, walang tatalo except sa mga previous experience ni Larry when he's preaching somewhere in Timbuktu...Larry, that was really a classic...remember when you forget your eye glasses .Well, he'll tell you everything about it...

James D. great that you're feeling much better and kicking. I guess you're ready to rock pero just take it easy and take one day at the time. You just chillin' and relax ka lang diyan bossing!


BTW, I would like to congratulate Lettie and ATG you gals rock !!! Awesome that you're the one of officials of the COMELEC. I'm sure you'll do a lot for our batch and just be the part of it. It will be exciting and absolutely rewarding for all of us. Best of luck and keep us posted...

Ehlee, nice to see all of you guys in Manny Cortez b-day pic ..haven't change a bit still soucy and bubbly...Even Nanette (Lilia M) still pretty as ever..kaya si Freddie N...ecstaticc at smiling face pa rin, eh...hahaha ( joke lang lakay). Magka-love team pala kayo ni Rudy I...I didn't know that ..hahaha. I guess, when you're in high school anything goes...after 30 years then you realize that time change...but still we had a great time and those sweet memorable days.

Also, get together party that you organized for Merle was a big blast... successful din. Bilib na talaga ko!!!

Manny Ace. what can I say? You're the real hero and hopefully, you always be safe. I guess being in a warzone makes your instinct more sharper and alert all the time. Di bale well known naman ang mga pinoy sa paspasan..kaya nga meron tayong local hero...palos!!! You're the guy!!!

Hi Ehris, geez, I have to read all the postings here and make sure I'm not gonna be out somewhere . If I'll be dwelling all the topics here I might be left out...Kamusta na? Surely, malapit na ang spring diyan and the weather here is becoming gloomy and short days...mabilis ng dumilim. Kaya I'm not looking forward to shovel the snow at sobrang nakakapagod. I hope you're ok now and no more sinus fever.

Prislette...howdy? Ayan huh, you might be thinking I'm on holiday again...hahaha!!! Actually, my relatives from Sacramento Cali just left a week ago and they stayed here for 2 weeks. Believe me, this year I feel like I work as tourist guide...pero oks lang. My whole family was very excited everytime we have family from out of town...ganun talaga yata coz' we're all known to be hospitable. We we're talking about the gasoline prices...grabe pala ngayon diyan sa inyo halos umabot ng 4.50 a gallon...or more. You think Obama will improve the economy of States?


Thelma...thanks for your full support of our batch eventhough you're busy with your work, home and family....you might be the modern mother theresa of our batch..humble and kind...always there for the goodness of our batch. Pero wala pa rin tatalo sa Annie Batungbakal at disco queen...sweetie sa iyo pa rin ang korona...hahaha (patay tayo tayo jan...sabi nga ni James D...).

Hang on guys...medyo I have to do some work for sec..at ang ( lawin) supervisor umaaligid sa likod ko...hahaha!!!


Back again...

Hey Sue Alonzo...thanks sa mga email and how's Montreal? You have to give your landline and I'll bug you for few minutes just for a quick chit chat... have a nice long weekend pala.

Jun Pops Cirilo..kamusta ka na tiga Makati na pala ..malapit ka na rin sa San Andres and as well as in RPES. Are you gonna be running for this year's election? Sana you should para it will be more exciting.

HI Dodie...whatz up? Surely busy with your work and travelling around the city ...that must be very hard for you, huh? Also, with the hectic schedules. with your family. Iba na talaga ang jet setter always on the go. BTW, how's your son ? Hopefully, he'll be granted to be out of the service and be with you guys. Actually, I went to Berlin last September and saw the Berlin wall. It was totally unbelievable being on one country yet devided their form of gov't. It was quite an experience for me living in a democratic country...but their united now.

Fernando Nunez...ang makata ng Araullo . Kamusta ka na? Saan ka na base ngayon coz' I used to have relatives in Guam in Agana and they still have a property. Actually, my cousin might go back there and she used to work in Tourism. Nakakatuwa nga when Manny Ace mention chomoros and apparently there some natives that they called chuquies (right ba ang spelling?) in Micronesia...baka when she decided to go back gusto ko rin makita kasi daw ang ganda ng beach resorts.


He Mr Ompong..kamusta na? I was watching the Olympics the opening and closing. Guy, it was unbeatable coz' they'll have the winter olympics in Vancouver but I'm pretty sure it will not be as good as in Beijing. They all went gaga when the human made themselves as an structural building and the fireworks was like a burst of galaxy...ang galing talaga!
Surely, you can speak the language now and that will be huge advantage on your part. Baka puede ka na rin maging artista diyan...hahaha. Tignan mo si Freddie meron palang hidden talent at Jess Lapid ng Pinas...

Lettie, thanks again and you're a sweetheart of our batch...regards to your kids and Roel. Hopefully, it will improve our organization and continue for the "New Beginning" sabi nga ni Prislette...

So, to all batchmates 'til then and have a nice weekend.

Jaime Dabu

KAMUSTAHAN, AT GRABE NAPAIYAK AKO KASI NAREMEMBER KO ANG SIGLA KO NOONG NAUSYAMI NG PROBLEMA... PERO GIVEN THE CHANCE ANO, ANG SARAP ASANAG MABALIK ANG DATING IISANG ANCESTRAL HOUSE.....

ei guyz! i am back, ayaw ko na don sa itaas kadiri, kakatakot hahaha. Good dumating yung missionary for that occasion! Bumaba ako kaagad!!! Felix I will call you tomorrow, gabi na kong umuwi kasi from Kibungan. Alam nyo ba na umattend kami ng burial, I was not wearing my pair of eyeglasses, I left it in the car, when we were about to enter the house. About like 7 meters away I greeted the owner of the house standing by the doorstep of a big Cancanaye house, I said Good Afternoon Auntie (that's how we address elderly women in the highlands)! She didn't reply, I whispered to my constituents visiting with me, 'Isnabera naman ito'. Without knowing that was their dead, "Oh my God!!!!" I was really scared to death hahahaah!!! That was their tradition in Kibungan, hindi uso ang casket sa patay, they just nailed their dead to wherever was his favorite spot in the house. It so happened that Inaya used to spend her day there waiting for her kids and hubby, kaya don sya ipinoste! Kaya pala sila tawanan ng sabihin kong isnabera, yun pala ang patay, I greeted her, nong malapit na ko I told them, bakit ganun yung tao kirat at mamasa-masa, yun pala, yun ang dinadalaw naming patay, I didn't know!!! To make it worst na talagang maduwal-duwal ako, naka-open ang mga pagkain, ang langaw at bangaw sa naaagnas at nilalagyan ng mga dakta ng puno to preserve the dead ay nagpupuntahan din sa pagkain namin. We were served with food ang dami, bawal daw di ubusin kasi uulitin ang ritwal which they call Caniao, oh noooo!!! The worst that happened in my life that I really felt like throwing up, ang hirap panay ang inom ko ng dala kong mineral water, di kasi ako pwede sa spring water nila or balon, bawal ito pero I really couldn't drink tubig sa balon or hinahawing tubig bukal. Pakain na sakin lahat wag lang ang balon tubig, masisira ang tyan ko so at the outset I told them kasi malakas ang culture consideration sa tribes to win them to Biblical Faith we got to do what the Romans do! Alam nyo, naubos ko din sapul non, I deferred the other services kasi hindi ko kaya yung langaw sa patay dumadapo sa pagkain namin ngiiiieeek, ayawwwww ko naaaa!!!! If not for the Lord di ko inubos yun, uulitin ang ritwal, yun lagi kong naririnig, parang gusto ko ng takpan ang tenga ko hahaha!!! Tapos nong interment na five kilometers ang nilakad namin dapat daw walang matitisod ng bato, kundi heto na naman waaaah: uulitin ang ritwal pag nakatisod ka ng bato at umitsa dahil sa sapatos mo. You know how I looked then? I was really lifting both of my feet knee level sa takot na makatisod ako ng bato! They were really laughing at me imagine 5 kms!!! Then finally when we reached the hanging grave, bigla ba naman hiniga ang patay, at pinalakol into three parts para kumasya sa woven cloth nila, muntik akong himatayin, kasi ako ang missionary in sevice, di ako pwedeng di tumingin ako mismo nasa harap, ang baho na oh noooo!!!! Na-shock ako cuz it was all unexpected, imagine san ka nakakitang patay na kinatay pang parang hayop parang lechong manok sa Andoks, haaaay, mangalambot!!! Tapos lahat ng buto na pinatay for the ritual isinabit namin ang mga panga at other joints sa mga punong paikot ng residence ni Inaya to serve as a reminder that she's dead already ( ano ba namang culture study ito, parang 'eng-eng', alangan namang makalimutan nong patay na patay na siya at umuwi pa sa kwarto niya at mag-sleep! Okay, ipasok ko muna itong experience ko sa patay then kakain muna ko ng dinner ko then balik ako hah guyz!!!

Your GTKPI is really very interesting to read, tinapos ko talaga! And definitely all of us enjoyed how you make detailed kwento about your family that only made us visualize you guyz through flashes of smiles, hugs and laughter even at the mere edge of our frame of reference. More so if you begin to post your latest pics and family photos nyo, lalo kaming ma-inspire Nette. Lalo sigurong kinilig si Ka FN!

As I was reading your personal info, I can't help entertain something that pops up in my mind... "People may be beautiful, but not happy. Beauty is defined by outer presentation and appearance, confidence, and personality- all components of happiness. People may be happy, but not successful. Good on your part Nette, YOU GOT IT ALL FOR YOU! Parang SM, Super Mom ka nga kasi!" SIGURO NGA KASI IKAW ANG MISS ALMA MATER NAMIN, AT MATAGAL HININTAY NA MAKITA MULI AT FINALLY NAKITA DIN NAMIN SA AHS BLOG NI MANNY CORTEZ NA PINAKAABANGAN TALAGA!!! Congratz Nette! Thanks for appreciating, too the improvements I made here for our 1st Year Anniversary!

Letz > Hayan hah, kinunsder ko agad ang suggestions niyo ni Frenic, I HOPE MAGUSTUHAN MO DIN ITO TULAD NILA JAIME DABU AND NETTE REYES!

Ehlee and Frenic > Happy weekend sa inyo, thanks sa posted msgs, naaaks, lakas naman naming mga Barista Araullians here, nagpaalam muna sila before the weekend eskapo nila, sweet naman!!!

James Duncan > Pgaling hane, 'wag masyadong makilos baka mabinat dudong! Keep praying and we keep looking forward for your report na back to shape ka na ulit!!! JESUS LUVZ YOU SO DEARLY!!!

SIGE PO!!! JUST REMINDING YOU GUYZ MAY SARILI NA PO TAYONG CHAT LOUNGE NASA PENTHOUSE NG BAHAY NATIN, HOME PAGE AFTER NG PROLOGO NG SITE NATIN!!! EXPECT FOR SOME MORE SURPRISES HERE SA BAHAY NG MGA KUYA AT MGA ATE...... THE FORUMOVERS, BARISTAS, COFFEE AFICIONADOS, STARBATCHERS, ANO PA? ATIN ITO!!!

A pleasant day everyone! Ooppss... tama ang link na napuntahan ninyo, this is our the same but not it's more refreshing because of it's cool background.

Larry -> hi & I like this new background of our forumotion link than yung black background yesterday. Malamig ngayon sa mata lalo na sa age natin na most of us are wearing our eyeglasses & besides mas nakaka-inspire to post more messages. Thanks for making new dress-up of our link ha! Sana nga ay magkaroon kahit konting balita about Elmer de Guzman. Ok yung mga paglalagay mo ng postings ng mga starbatchers natin w/ a corresponding reply, para nga mas ma-recall ng lahat, even yung nakakatuwa mong posting sa RPES (Rafael Palma Elem. Sch.) QT. Ang sipag mo talaga, very creative & imaginative para sa mas lalong ikagaganda nitong link natin.

Pareng James -> good to know that you're feeling better na at sana nga ay magtuloy-tuloy na ang full recovery mo. Naka-leave ka pa siguro ano? Para hindi ka mainip, just always come here sa Starbatch Kapihan natin & have coffee w/ us. Talaga, naging mag-sparing partner pala kayo ni Trifee during your Journalism days. Mahirap talaga ang "kabisote", kita mo nagkanda-bulol-bulol ka tuloy. At tama ang pagiging relaxed ni Trifee, he did the interview very well at siya na rin pala ang tumapos pati yung dala ninyong questionnaire. You know, our success is not only about our career, ako I gave up my career voluntarily & started my own family & I can honestly say that I'm really at peace deep in my heart & in my mind that I'm 100% attending to all my family's needs, especially my being a full-time wife & hands-on mom to my 2 lovable kids. I'm always thanking God for giving to me Roel to be my husband & father of our 2 kids. Of course, we say that "nobody is perfect" but when it comes to Roel being a very responsible & hardworking husband & father of my kids, he's almost perfect in that aspect, ganun din ang pagiging religious, respectful, understanding, sweet & faithful to us. Happy rin ako kais my parents, sisters/brother & extended family members are all doin fine & we always have a close family ties, same as with my mom-in-law. Bilib ako sa mga hardworking dad like you, talagang hindi bale mapalayo sa pamilya just to give them a better or yet a good future, di ba. Hindi biro maging away from your family, but we have to accept the fact that it is sometimes better to work abroad than here for financial reasons. Pero may mga suwerte rin na nagta-trabaho dito sa Pinas kung malaki at stable ang company na mapapasukan. Kaya, may God bless all of you na hardworking parents or head of the family! Kaya ako, I'm always thanking God for all the blessings he gave, giving & will still give for each & everyone of us.

Nanette -> nice reading your GTKPI, it seems you're a fulfilled/satisfied wife to your husband & mom to your kids. It's not easy to be working, but you've done it well & still doing it upto now, as as our other working moms here sa link, like Mareng ATG, Prislette, Ehris, Dodie, Thelma, Elie, Susan & others w/c I'm not sure if they're a working mom too! Mabuhay kayo!

Pareng Freddie -> kumusta ka na ulit Pards! Long time no hear! Hope you're doing fine, ganun din ang whole family mo. Nice reading your recent message na tinagalog na naman, talagang pwedeng-pwede ka mapa-English man o Tagalog

James D. -> of course ok lang my friend to copy my previous greetings mentioning all the names of our batchmates here, yun nga lang, medyo you forgot to edit yung mga tinawag kong Pare & Mare, but I'm sure ok lang sa lahat iyon, kasi dito lang din kami nagtawagan ng pare/mare ni Pareng James eh. Ang haba ng posting mo, which means you're not that busy anymore, sana more messages from you ha! Hayan, Larry posted again yung message niya sa RPES QT which he made us all laugh to death, pwedeng-pwede na rin siya sa comedy di ba?

Warm regards to all of you,
Letty

Special thought for the day: "Prayer is the song of the heart. It reachest the ear of God even if it is mingled with the cry & tumult of a thousand man."

Susan Alonzo and James Duncan talagang i exhausted all efforts pero wala akong mahanap na pix nio. pls inform me where could I possibly grab your photos! Thanks. Ayan unti-unti ko ng nako-customize site natin!

Hi to all of you. Hope everyone is well and in good shape always.

Hello Larry, wow naman, gustong gusto ko ang bagong format ng site natin, ganda, pati kulay very bright, lalo tuloy nakakaenganyo mag-post palagi. Salamat talaga sa creativeness mo, wala akong masabi talaga. I also like the design you did with all our pics, ganda ng dating, sana nga soon makakuha ka ng photo ni Susan and James D., para naman makita rin namin how do they looked like now. For me, i like the colour scheme, favourite ko rin kasi yellow, kaya nga dito sa bahay, yellow rin ang paint ng wall ko, kasi i like it bright and sunny and cheery to look at. Very cozy ang dating. So, another job well done Larry!

Alam mo tawa ako ng tawa habang binabasa ko yung post mo about your experiences doon sa tribe burial. Sakit talaga ng tsyan ko kakatawa then napasigaw naman ako when i read the part na pinalakol into three yung mismong ililibing, and also yung mga langaw na dapo ng dapo sa pagkain nyo. Ay naku, kung siguro ako yun, hinimatay na ako ng tatlong beses! Buti nga ikaw nakayanan mo. Next is yung mga signs in english kuno, wah...sino ba gumawa nun, tindi anoh! Pero nakakatawa rin ang dating!

Hi Nanette, kumusta ka na? Salamat naman at naalala mo kung sino ako, oo nga marami tayong memories nung high school anoh, nakakatuwa balikan lahat. Nabasa ko yung GTK mo, gaya ng sabi ni Larry, you got it both, successful ang career and family life mo. Glad to know nakakarelate ka sa mga experiences ko bilang "tulirong" ina LOL. Ganyan yata tayong mga moms ano, yun yata ang whatmakes our world go round! Ingat ka lagi and ako rin will look forward sa pagbasa ng marami pang post messages from you. Para naman we can continue what we left off for the last 30 years or so.

Hello Pareng James, kumusta ka na? So fully recovered ka na ba? Or panay pa rin ang tingin mo sa magagandang nurses na nagbabantay sa yo dyan. Gustong gusto ko rin lahat ng isinusulat mo dito sa forum. Laging may variety pero maraming nakakarelate, maraming natutuwa, at laging may moral lesson na mapupulot. Hanga ako how you live your life with true meaning of value, moral and senses. Basta pagaling ka and hinay hinay lang in everything you do. Natutuwa din ako sa expression mo na "anik anik", somehow nakuha ko what it means, kaya napapangiti ako pag nababasa ko yung word na yun sa mga posts mo. Ingat ka lagi ha. Musta rin sa family mo.

Hi Letty, kumusta ka na? Alam mo like you, akala ko rin naligaw ako ng site nung una kong buksan itong forum the other day, kasi wow nag-iba ng kulay, design and format. Pero ang ganda anoh, lalong naging alive ang dating, nakakaenganyo talagang mag-post lagi. Okay na ako, konti na lang sakit ng sinus ko, hindi naman ako binigyan ng antibiotic ng doctor ko, isa pa ayaw ko talaga uminom nun. Up to now pangit pa rin weather namin dito, minsan maulan, minsan gloomy, and malamig lagi ang breeze, hay naku i can't wait talaga na mag-spring and summer na. Okay naman ang pilates class ko, somehow narerelax ako, and hopefully rin maging fit ako, kasi i've been a couch potato nitong last winter. Luckily hindi naman ako nag-add ng weight mabuti, otherwise.....wah.... Uy, september na, me alam akong malapit ng mag-celebrate ng birthday nya...... Sige ingat kayo lagi ng mga bata and kumusta rin kay Roel.


Hello Randy, kumusta ka na? Its good to see your postings here and sana nga dumating yung time na magkikita kita naman tayong lahat, ang saya siguro ng dating anoh? Kakatuwa ang exchanges nyo ng jokes/posts nila Pareng James (saya ko lang, nagkarron ako ng kumpare dito sa forum bigla). Kaya nga talagang looking forward ako pag dumating yung time na yun na i can meet all of you personally after a long 30 or so years. Nakausap mo na ba ulit si Annabel? Kumusta rin sa family mo. Ingat ka lagi.

Hello Freddie, kumusta ka na rin, sana nga mahanap nyo na si Elmer para kumpleto na talaga ang bahay ni Kuya Larry. Gaya ng sabi ni Letty, talagang nakakatuwa lagi post mo ke tagalog o english version, or kahit medyo may pagka-poetic, ayos lang basahin lagi. Kumusta sa family ang ingat ka rin lagi.

Hello Jun Papa, kumusta ka na? Hindi na tayo nakapagkwentuhan ulit. Hindi mo pa ba nakuha yung email add ko from Letty? Buti pa kayo laging me happening dyan, lagi kayong me chance magkita-kita. Ingat ka lagi ang kumusta rin sa family mo.

Hi Manny Ace, kumusta ka na? Wow, magaling ka rin palang sumagot sa mga brain teasers ni Larry. Sige, okay yang masipag ka lagi mag-post, kasi nakakatuwa rin basahin ang mga post mo. Very interesting din GTKPI mo, maganda ang mga anak mo at si misis. Malalaki na rin pala sila anoh? Ako, 12 and 13 pa lang mga boys ko, marami pang escapades at mabaha pa rin ang time ko para maging "tulirong" ina to them . Ingat ka lagi ha. Hintayin ko ulit mga interesting anecdotes from you.

Jaime Dabu, hello my dear, kumusta ka na rin. Ikaw rin, miss na kita, hindi na nga naullit yung usap natin anoh. Like i said, maami ka na sigurong naipong kwento for me. I know busy ka sa pagiging great tour guide. Me bisita pa rin ba kayo up to now? Para sigurong laging hotel ang bahay nyo anoh? Di bale, i'm sure masaya ka naman showing them around. Ingat ka lagi and hope to talk to you..soon..

And sa inyo pong lahat na mga batchmates natin dito sa forum, kumusta kayong lahat, hope all is well, and everyone is always in good shape. Keep smiling......till then...

"from little things, big things grow.......kaya eto tayong lahat ngayon dito sa forum.......so keep it alive always!"

Hello batchmates, I'm sure you will be amazed like me sa new outlook nitong ating site!

Larry -> Wow naman talaga & I'm smiling while I'm looking sa mga ID size pictures natin that appear in every page & take note ha, halos puro latest ang mga pictures natin. Para kang may "magic wand" Larry for making our link more attractive, more inspiring & more inviting for us to post. Thanks too for posting the "Revised Resolution No.3 for Global & Outside NCR batchmates of ours", actually I will request you sana to post it, pero natuwa naman ako when you posted it na pala. Fyi, I received an e-mail from Pareng James Dungca (late na ako nakapag-open ng e-mail ko kasi pinasyal ko my kids eh), I will be sending to you Pareng James' picture kasi as Starbatchers, dapat nga lang na may picture din siya. Hay naku Larry, ang daming mga ganyang TH (as in 'trying hard' in English, dapat na tagalugin na nga lang kaysa lumabas pang katawa-tawa di ba), like the pictures w/ captions & some are rules pa naman to follow. Yes, lahat tayo ay nagkakamali in our English grammar & spelling from time to time, pero not as bad naman as what you've posted

Mareng Ehris -> hi at sana nga ay magtuloy-tuloy ng gumaling ang sinusits mo. Maraming kwento talaga si Larry na nakakatawa, nakakatakot sometimes medyo nakakabaligtad din ng sikmura nung nasa RPES (Rafael Palma Elem. Sch.) QT Kamustahan pa lang kami, before pa nagkaroon ng AHS QT Kamustahan. Talagang all around si Larry, he can be genius, serious, comedian but most of all he's a man with a golden heart & a true gentleman. Kaya nga he's blessings are always coming-in lalo na for having a lot of good friends like us. Hanggang kelan ba ang winter ninyo, talagang pahirap sa iyo ano? Kaya ingat ka lang lagi my friend

Manny.Ace.Fresh -> hi! Talagang pinag-iisipan mong maigi lahat ng mga gustong ipasagot sa atin ni Larry. Ako kasi, I let my kids answer them kasi interested sila. Minsan ay hindi agad nila nasasagot sa dami ng assignments kaya ayaw na rin nilang ipa-post kasi nga medyo late na raw ang pagsagot nila. Ingat ka rin palagi & siyempre our prayers are with you always, ganun din para sa husband ko na palaging nagbibiyahe sa dagat

Lifelines: LIFE is a "road of traffice signs": 1-way, 2-way; Do not enter; No U-turn; No left turn. But the best signs are "GIVE WAY" and "KEEP RIGHT"!
