Batchmates,

First of all thank you Larry for accomodating me here sa Kapihan though I was not part anymore of the higher sections when we graduated. Malaking pasasalamat din kay Letty, she was instrumental of "lettyng" me part of Kapihan. Salamat din sa lahat na mga ka batch na miyembro ng ating kapihan.

The sad story of our batch is that we are still divided up to now. There must be something wrong the way we are running our batch. Though partly i am those who tolerated this thing to happen..."wala kasi akong pakialam" during the time of Menard and Ompong running the batch affairs because i know that there is no need to make pakialam kasi ...nasa magandang kamay naman ang batch natin. Late last year I was able to talk to Gerry Corpuz and he told me about the current situation of our batch. Si Val Barroga na daw ang president...kaibigan ko naman si Val but there is a big question mark as far as i am concern of what happen to our batch. Nasaan na sina Menard...sina Ompong...si Josephine...the batchmates i know that were so active in our batch affairs and activities.

Slowly i was able to get some answer...up to now i am still searching ... i have been interviewing and talking to some of our batchmates and simply stated ... malaki ang problema ng batch. Most of us were not able to grow, nadiyan pa rin ang dating gawi ng ingit, siraan, tsismis at kung ano ano pa. Nagulat ako that after more than 30 years...ganoon pa rin ang karamihan sa atin. There is a need of SPIRITUAL HEALING AMONGST US... we have to let go of our frustration, hatred and other negativities that destroy our ownselves. Kailangan na nating lahat magkasundo, we have to unify our batch....we have a direction and unity in order for us to serve our ALMA MATER. 30 years wala pa rin tayong kongkretong alituntunin para mabigyan natin ng kasiyahan ang ating Alma Mater.

Panahon na ng pagbabago. Panahon na para magtulungan tayong lahat para mabago na ang liderato ng ating batch at upang maiwasto na natin ang tamang direksyon ng AHSbatch77.

Tama ka Larry, we have to change the leadership of our batch otherwise we will be forever at hands of "these leaders".

Batchmates we can only do this if all of us will participate in the coming elections ...ITUTULOY may miting na po kami ...nasa opis po ako

First of all, I would like to make a correction that the birthday of Fernando 'Ronnie' Labao ay Aug. 18, 2008 (kasi napalitan ko pala ng emoticon yung correct date), kaya Pareng James, pasensiya ka na ha kasi you mentioned na Aug. 1 kaya binalikan ko yung posting ko. And Larry, it's Ronnie Labao kasi iba si Salvador 'Sonny' Ladran, hindi pa siya nakakapagpost dito eventhough we informed him na rin about our forumotion.

Pareng James -> natutuwa naman ako dahil aside sa masipag kang magpost, palagi kang may naisi-share sa amin about our high school days. Correct si Larry, IV-2 siya nung nag-graduate tayo. I will give to you the complete list ng names of our classmates nung high school in separate e-mail. Since isa nga si Larry sa mga naging close friends mo nung high school, all along akala mo ay classmate natin siya. Nice picture you've posted sa Multiply, why not post it here din.

Batchmates -> hello to all of you & I will post another message just right after this.

Hello Batchmates,

For the info of everyone, I've been attending some of the meetings of our batch, as well as some of our batchmates here in forumotion, the last meeting I attended was last Thurs., Aug. 14, 2008, since super lakas ang ulan that day, medyo konti lang ang nakarating dahil may lugar na nabaha that caused heavy traffic everywhere. Some details that they confirmed are:

- Sept. 27, 2008 : Our batch 31st Reunion & at the same time a sort of "Thank You Party" for the outgoing officers & board members & during the meeting, we were informed that those who are planning to run as the new officers will be given the chance to talk during the party & give their platforms for our batch (pls. note that the time & place will be confirmed sa next meeting & that will be on Fri., Aug. 22, 2008)

- Oct. 4, 2008 : Election of 15 Board Members (pls. take note that from the 15 Board Members, they will be the one to vote for themselves the executive officers), place of election will be held at AHS Campus, while the time is yet to confirm

- I would like to let you all know that Mareng ATG & I are members of Comelec Committee (conmsisting of a Comelec Chairman & 4 members) for the upcoming election & there are rules & guidelines din for our global batchmates as well as our batchmates who are outside the National Capital Region para makapag-cast din kayo ng vote like us. Originally, it was Mareng ATG who voluntarily offered herself to be a member of the Comelec Committee & that she has been accepted naman. Then nung last Aug. 14 meeting, may isang Comelec member na nagdecide that he's planning to run, so naging vacant ang isang slot & Mareng ATG, recommended me to be on that slot, which I accepted after taking into consideration to be visible & playing an active part in this election specially that this will be my very 1st time to vote & also for the sake of some of you who keeps on telling me to run, anyhow my sincere thank you sa inyo for letting me know na gusto ninyo akong tumakbo as officer, iyon lang ay "para na akong nanalo". Pls. bear with me that I will inform all of you more details about the reunion & election after the meeting this Fri., Aug. 22. Also, there are names I've heard who are planning to run as officers, but as of press time I cannot divulge any name until they submit their Cert. of Candidacy, of course, we have to give them all the time to think & to consider things on how to make our batch grow & especially ang "PAGBABAGO IN ALL ASPECTS AS ONE" & not yung "SILA-SILA LANG PALAGI ANG DAPAT NA NANDIYAN", eventhough we know & they know for a fact na "WALANG MAGANDANG FEEDBACK".

Larry -> your being honest & frank to yourself & to us ay one of those unique characteristics that I admire from you most. Whatever you've said & posted here, it's all your personal feeleings, sentiments, knowledge, observation na nangyari at siya pa ring nangyayari. Pati ba naman yung pagpunta sa house mo, which is your private place at hindi lang ikaw ang may ganyang choice, all of us have our own prerogative kung sino at hindi ang gusto nating makausap, makasama, makapunta sa respective house natin etc... Di ba nga, as the saying goes that "you cannot please everybody", abuse saying na yan, kaya lang meron pa ring hindi makuntento on a certain matter or thing or let's say nagpapatawag pansin even to reach to a certain point of "back stabbing", then let it be, 'KUNG DOON SILA MASAYA, IBIGAY ANG KASIYAHAN NILA", at least 'MAS PANATAG ANG KALOOBAN AT ISIPAN NG MAY MALILINIS NA KUNSENSIYA & WE CAN FACE ANYBODY EYE-TO-EYE, DI BA!'

Manny -> hi & read your message thoroughly. Yes, I'm one of the many who really want to have a "BIG CHANGE/OVERHAUL" for our batch. Let's help each other to do it. As what I've told you on our last telephone conversation, pls. get in touch with me again after the election for any Committee that will be set-up, which I will think my capability will surely fit-in.

To all my other batchmates -> pasensiya na kayo if our recent messages here ay medyo hindi malinaw sa iba. What I can only say is that "biktima kami ni Larry ng ilang batchmates natin na nagtulong-tulong to pin-down Ompong Concepcion (who originally organized our Batch '77), hindi namin hinayaang sirain nila ng ganun si Ompong, kaya nahati ang batch natin. Kung tutuusin, "it's just like a water under the bridge na lang", kailangang sumunod sa agos", but still "kailangang mahinto na rin ang mga hindi nangyaring maganda lalo na ang pagsasamantala ng iba".

DEAR RONNIE,

FORGET ABOUT THE PAST, YOU CAN'T CHANGE IT
FORGET ABOUT THE FUTURE, YOU CAN'T PREDICT IT
FORGET ABOUT THE PRESENT...... I DID'NT GET YOU ONE (hahaha)
Happy Birthday my Friend,

Note:Let's treat our age as something that doesn't matter , unless you are a Cheeze.

Parang gusto kong mag-compose ng tula for our Batchmates, DERECHO KONG GAWIN DITO ....

MINSAN MAY BUHAY

Ang bawa't nagtapos ay may walang
katapusang mga simulain,
At sa bawa't isa nating hakbang
walang dulo sa adhikain....
Doon tayo, at nang nahantong
Sa dati na lang sana!!!
Sige lang derecho lang kaklase
Di mo mauubos 'yan, ang dami...
Merong sa karatig, merong sa ibayo,
don sa tawid-dagat...
Sa patag man o bundok,
Malaya kasi tayong lahat
At sinong mag-isip ang oras
at panahon ay humantong sa
Kung saan tayo dinala
ng ating kani-kanyang pinili...
Sige lang, patuloy tayong lumakad
buti nga nagkrus mga landas
Na inakala nating sa
tatlong dekada ay imposible na,
Okay lang tuloy lang tayo
sa kani-kanyang daloy ng buhay
Isa lang ang pupuntahan ng lahat
Respeto ang hangad ng iba
Ang karamiha'y maaaring
pagtakas sa kapit ng
Masasabing kabuhayang sa
sistemang kinasadlakan,
Ang iba naman hangad ay tawa,
meron ding sa libangan,
Totoong di mawala ang nais
ay tulong at awa,
Sa pusong may kamay na
umabot, pero 'wag ka...
Isa lang naman ang totoong
lalantaw sa kamustahan eh,
Ang usap sa isang tasang kape
kung saan lahat ng higante
Na naabot sa buhay... ay
nasa pag-uusap
Ano man ang uri, barako man yan
o instant, sosyal man ang sayo
Basta may tasa, kahit basag
Ang mahalaga may napag-usapan.
Sa dulo ng huling kapeng maiinom,
ay mananagot ang lahat ng
Kaluluwa sa bawa't ginawa natin sa kaklase!!!

Minsan may buhay, Kamusta ka?
Kape tayo!!!
(Tapos na, ang bilis kong ginawa, teka, magpapahid muna ako ng ilong!!!)
-LAPETA - October 19, 12:30noon

BILIB AKO SA INYONG TATLO AT NA-COMFORT NYO KO SA SITWASYUNG ALAM KO KUNG MANGYAYARI SA INYO AY MAGIGING GANUN DIN AKO SA INYO, PALIBHASA'Y NAGKAGANUN DIN KAYO. IT TAKES THREE ESTE FOUR AY MALI, TWO PALA TO TANGO!!! THANKS SA COMFORTING WORDS. I KNOW YOU CAN IDENTIFY WITH WHAT I FEEL!!! SA MGA BAGO, 'WAG KAYONG MA-SHOCK MAS MAGANDANG SAGAD KANGGANG PUSONG UNAWAAN AT PAGIGING SINSERO SA LAHAT NG LIFE'S UNDERTAKINGS NATIN.

Freddie > Si Elmer ha? Si Jun Recidoro pala very close din ni MR. ELMER ALBERT ALMEDA DE GUZMAN?

Before I finally delete from my Favorites ang QT Kamustahan (anyways I got Joley sa RPES Kamustahan don na lang kami at si Manny Cortez nagpopost here). Nagulat ako don sa Kasmoothie na parang naalala ko ang mga ginawa sa QT 1977 Coffee Shop nila f***duck, KAPIHAN 77, karma66, etc. (to old timers are they familiar?) AY NANGYAYARI NOW SA KANILA, SORRY FOR JOSEPHINE PERO SANA HINDI MATULAD NG GINAWANG PAMBABASTOS NILA F*DUCK, KAPIHAN77, KARMA66, ATBP ANG GINAWA NILANG PAMBABABOY SA DATI NATING MESSAGE BLOG KAYA NAG-CLOSE TAYO. (Hanggang talikuran kasi ang mga nag-pseudonyms na yan kaya hayan di lang si kathmoothie, may isa pa yata eh, parang nabasa ko few weeks ago, ang namumuna sa kanila as intruders, pero magpapakilala naman daw siya eh, hindi tulad nla noon destructive. Si smoothie parang constructive ang dating, ang sagot sa kaya ang bastos) Ayaw kong maramdaman ni kaibigang Joley ang ginawa saming pagtapak ng mga tagapalengke clique na ito. Kasi natuklasan namin ang offices at residence nila eh kaya buking. Napayuhan na lang akong tumahimik for the sake of unity!!! Ito ang sikreto why my American friend reached out and sponsored me this beautiful blog, na mahirap pasukin lalo na ng mga taong medyo taga-palengke kung mang-abuso. Pero ang daming tagapalengkeng mababait ha kasi may mga members kaming nagtitinda sa palengke, hindi mga "ekstorsyonita".

According to her, naoperahan siya sa Bangkok kaya nagkumento sya sa pulos na party-han, at nanghihinayang siya sa pera, KASI NGA NAMAN SIGURO SINISILIP NI SMOOTHIE KUNG MAY MAGANDA NA NGA BANG CONTRIBUTIONS O FEEDBACK ANG AHS BATCH 1977 SA ARAULLO ALMA MATER NATIN? BAGO ANG PULOS SOSYALAN. Pero I guess ang parties na yun ay sensible naman ano Leticia and all Forumotion attenders don ano. PAGMAY TAGA-KAPIHAN NA DUMADALO DOON KAMPANTE AKO FOR CHECK AND BALANCES AT LEAST MAY TUTUTOK SA MGA ACTIONS NILA. THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION!!! AY NAKU LARRY PEREZ TAN, WALA KANG NAGAGAWA SA AHS BATCH 1977 KAYA SHUT UP!!! BUSY NAMAN AKO SA MGA ASO KO!!! 'YUNG COMPUTER BA NA NAIDONATE NI TRIFEE NANDON NA? Sensya na di kasi lahat ng posts sa kabila binabasa ko kaya madaming napapalampas ako!!! PERO NOW BEFORE I FINALLY BACKOUT, I-WISH NYO NA MAGING MAGANDA ANG PASOK NI KASMOOTHIE SA KANILA PARA DI MANGYARI ANG MGA GINAWANG KARUMALDUMAL SA PAGTAPAK SAKIN NOON AT SA TINUKOY NA LAHING DELIKADO SA QT KAPIHAN NATIN. SA TINGIN KO NAMAN JOLEY HAS THE CHARISMA TO TAKE CARE OF KASMOOTHIE, EWAN LANG NATIN SA MGA TAGAPALENGKE NA PARANG NAGSISIMULA NG SUWAGIN ANG NAGSABING MALDITA NA DAW SIYA GAWA NG ANAESTHESIA!!! Hangad pa din namin Joley ang best sa PINAKAMAMAHAL NATING ORIGINAL QT KAMUSTAHAN NOON WHERE WE HAD A GREAT REUNION ANO, SANA SA BOTOHAN MASIBAK LAHAT NG MARCOS DICTATORSHIP SAMPU NG BLUE LADIES AND CRONIES NIYA!!!

Salamat Leticia sa mga info, please, please post and update us!!! Kelan pwedeng mangampanya?

SUGGESTION SA MGA BAGONG MAUUPO SA ALUMNI NATIN: Tulad ng mga kilala kong Alumni associations, sobra pagtitipid nila para sa ganun imbes na gastusin sa pagkain at mga gas, idagdag sa mga proyekto for Araullio. Wait, magtanong lang ako, sa tagal ng AHS Batch 77 reunions, may mga nadagdag na ba tayong mga waiting sheds, rooms, etc. sa Alma Mater natin, SA MGA MATAGAL NA PLS ANSWER ME NAMAN KUNG ANONG BIG PROJECTS NA ANG NAGAWA NG MGA NAUNANG OFFICERS. Manny pakitanong sa kanila yan galing sakin?

Para medyo matanggal ang tension, sorry ha kabago-bago niyo natutuklasan niyo ang mga bagay na hindi matapos na pinaguusapan sa kabila sa talikuran, mas maganda pang nakalabas at walang back-stabbing!!!

MAGPATAWA ka naman, Mr. JAMES DUNCAN!!!

Fernando Ronnie Nunez ikaw din, I know you beore as a very funny yet bright person and classmate, too!!! Si Igme gentleman ang pagkakilala ko dyan at biang ngumiti!!! Sige po, pls post some funny staff ha, please!!

Again, ang paumanhin ko sa lahat!!!

BOTO TAYO NG MAY PUSO!!!

POST LANG KAYO,BUSINESS AS USUAL!

Hi Larry,
Wossss…my dear friend I was touched with your message sayang d ako maka-relate sa story bago pa kasi dito. But first-off, memory laps na talaga sa tagal I thought of the same section tayo. But the very least I can think of was that we are classmates in journalism when I took the elective subject with Mr. Vasquez at dun tayo naging close. Magkatabi pa nga tayo nina Triffy remember?And of course tayong mga 3 sections ata all for the boys together are of the same schedule sa PE at the only you lang ang point guard to guard all our bags. Am I right friend?

Better yet business as usual na lang kaming mga new recruits dito sa forumation. Ikaw naman, ginawa mong Ronnie Ladran, a combination of Ronnie Labao and Salvador Ladran… hahahaha….kaya ayun Mareng Letty was fast enough to correct you. But anyhow, that’s a nice gesture of you to greet talaga the birthday boy Ronnie Labao. I’m very much impressed with you Larry sa tutoo lang. Super galling ka na ngayon at straight forward ka. You have that leadership qualities that we are looking for. I will vote you Larry. Guys count me in ha, isa ako sa absentee voter ni Larry. And of course to my good friend Alfred Nicdao teka Direc…fan mo na ko ngayon ha boboto rin kita. O ayan ha, ayoko ng Freddie gusto ko your name is Alfred..parang si Alfred Vargas...uso uso lang.

Teka para mawala ang tension sa mga postings..kwentuhan nalang natin si Larry at para sumaya ang close friend ko sa journalism. At saka teka mga batchmates, Larry and Mareng Letty too, nag email na sa akin si Pareng Randy Nunez at wait lang daw at magsesend din siya ng message soon kasi very busy pa daw.
O ayan sasaya na tayo dahil masayang kasama itong si Makatang Randy super kalog yan na matalino.

BTW, si Josephine Liongson ba is the former Johnson & Johnson Phil employee? Yung dabarkads ni Catherine Cabiling. Correct me if I’m wrong kasi kung siya nga I know her na. As usual memory laps na rin ata ako hehehe…sila siguro yung grupo na nag-perform ng ala wowowie dance number sa Jorama restaurant nung 10 yr anniversary and we were all stunned, ang galling nila magsayaw.. super…lahat kaming tsikboys napanganga…ehem…kung magsayaw kaya sila ulit ng same attire sa 31st yr anniversary ng batch pwede pa kayang i-request ulit? Joke lang po hehehee…sayang walang nag render ng isang matinding song number nung 10 yr anniversary. Ako sana kaya kong mag-volunteer kumanta kaso nahihiya ako. I only discovered lately na me tinatago pala akong talent sa singing. Kaso ang ginawa ko that time talagang tinago ko na lang… wala tuloy nakaalam sayang tlaga.

Si Racquel Patena sana pinakanta, siya yung pamangkin ni Carmen Patena na magaling din kumanta. Kaso hindi ata siya nagpunta nuon. Where is Racquel na kaya? She’s my classmate during elementary days. When we had our singing contest sa araullo, I remember nag-umpisa si Racquel mag-dedicate ng kanyang song number na panlaban sa contest. “I’d like to dedicate this song to my classmates etc etc”…after that sunuran na yung ibang contestant puro nag dedicate na rin lahat..Kaya ayun si guidance councilor umakyat ng stage at sabi,” for the information of everybody, let me remind you that these singing competition is not meant to dedicate your song number, so please avoid dedicating your song…AMEN !!!

Kilala ninyo si guidance counselor natin na super higpit dba? Siya ang nagparusa sa aming mga boys na tumayo ng super init sa basketball court for 3 hrs, parusa sa pagkanta ng malakas sa huling portion ng bayang magiliw…ang mamatay ng dahil sayoooooooooo..kaya mahirap makalimutan si counselor. Si guidance councilor din ang nag-utos sa security guard na hulihin at wag papasukin ang mga student na nguya ng nguya ng chewing gum pag papasok sa school. Daig pa niya si Principal Quaimbao sa higpit. Kasi ba naman sa pila palang early morning kaming mga boys para daw mga kambing ang itsura, nagbabayang magiliw at panatang makabayan pero itsurang kambing na nguya ng nguya. Sabagay sino nga ba naman ang matutuwa nun?

O siya pinasaya kona lahat sa mga kwento ko ha? Siguro naman mawala na ang tension at back to kasiyahan ulit. Regards nalang sa inyo sina Ka Freddie,Mareng Ehris,Mareng Letty,Anna,Manny Cortes, Triffy,Ramir, Prislette, Pareng Ronnie the birthday boy,Pareng Randy mi amigo el Gwapo,
Nette Reyes, sino pa baka me makalimutan ako patay tayo jan..

Rgds and ingat po lahat…
James Duncan

Hello ulit to every Kapihan batchmates, kumusta na kayong lahat.

Larry, kumusta ka na? Hope okay ka na after na-release mo yung lahat ng tension/sentiments mo. Sa totoo lang, pinabilib mo ako talaga lalo sa pagiging honest and frank mo about how you feel, what you think, no mincing of words which i like in a real gentleman. Talagang tutuong tao ka Larry and i salute you for that.
Dyan mo makikita how you really care for the batch and the true meaning of being an AHS alumni. Nakakatuwa naman yung visayan poem mo, like them, kahit hindi ko naiintindihan kung anung ibig sabihin nun, tawa pa rin ako ng tawa, lalo din doon sa mga naging spelling ng mga names namin. I tried to pronounce it, kaya lalo akong natawa. Kahit nga kaharap ko puter ko, tawa lang ako ng tawang mag-isa. Ganda rin ng red carpet mo sa aming lahat. Take care and hope all is well.

Letty, kumusta ka na rin, sige next na lang ulit yung mahaba nating chat, hopefully makasali na natin si Prislette. Oo nga, tama ka, yung mga boys ko parang barko ang mga paa sa laki ng sizes ng shoes nila. Biro mo 12 and 13 yrs old lang eh ang lalaki ng size ng paa. Hay naku, ngayon nga mas mataas pa silang dalawa sa akin, kaya pag nasa labas kami akala mga kapatid ko lang (naks naman ha, ibig sabihin bagets pa rin si Mommy nila) kaya nga yung mga classmates nila eh "cool mom" ang tawag sa akin. Take care n talk to you again soon.

Pareng James, kumusta ka na? So pareho pala tayong may high blood, hay naku ako rin, everyday may gamot na iniinom, 10 miligrams nga yung sa akin which is called Tritace/Ramipril. Minsan nga, nakakasawa na. Kaya lang, doctor's order - kailangan i-maintain diba? Kaya nga rin minsan, madali rin akong mag-flare up, lalo siguro pag medyo mataas presyon ko. Ngayon nga, i am on a Pilates course, pampaalis daw ng tension which somehow nag-wowork yata for me. Kaya nga ingat din ako sa food that i take, halos lahat lean and i dont drink any coffee now, nag-resort ako sa green tea or normal tea, pero minsan naughty rin ako, kasi marasap talaga dito ang cappucino and all other types of coffee, so nainom pa rin ako. Nakakatuwa talaga basahin mga posts mo Pareng James, aliw na aliw ako the way you reminisce things. Bilib ako sa talas ng memory mo, pero yung si Wiilie Sarmiento, somehow nakalimutan ko name nya, i knew him too, kasi bumibili rin ako sa kanila pag kailangan namin ng coconut, tapos ganun din, hi and wave pag napadaan ako sa puesto nila. Kita mo maski si Freddie lakas din ng memory, kilala n remember din nya yung mga taga Paco like us. Before i forget nga pala, i tried to send you and email Pareng James with a photo attachments, pero bumalik sa akin. Alin ba ang tamang email add mo ngayon? I mentioned din kay Letty about this, kasi nga sya ang nagbigay sa akin ng email add mo, kaya nga sabi nya tanung ko na lang daw sa yo ulit kung alin ang tama? Naku ha, may talent ka pala sa singing, o sige sa reunion natin, kailangan eh marinig naming lahat yang hidden talent na yan. Kami rin dito sa Sydney mahilig makaraoke. May mic nga ako sa bahay, yung magic sing-a-long ba yun. Mahilig din ako kumanta, ewan ko lang kung mahilig din yung kanta sa akin (ha, ha, ha). Sige, next time ulit padala ko sa yo family pics namin para makita mo rin mga bata and hubby ko, okay? Ingat ka lagi dyan sa Qatar ha, and wait ulit ako sa posts mo na talagang nakaka-enjoy to read.

Ronnie Labao - belated happy birthday ha. Kumusta ka na, post ka rin lagi dito para naman ma-update din kami how your doing.

Annabelle (ATG), hello ulit bestfriend, busy ka pa rin ba? Buti pa kayo ni Letty nakakapag-chika lagi. I tried calling you the other day, busy line, ang hirap makapasok. Naku ha, bakit naman ang layo ng agwat nung nagsayaw kayo ni James sa JS prom? Natatawa tuloy ako when i tried to picture it. Eh ako nga, talagang fully remembered ko pa rin yung JS prom natin, kasi naman eh may special someone din ako noon, eh ang sakit, nung last dance na, naunahan pa nung isang classmate din namin na isayaw ako, inis na inis tuloy ako, kasi sya yung gustong gusto kong kasayaw eh me nakasingit na iba, nasira tuloy gabi ko, pero di bale, somehow naging sulit din kasi nga ganun yata pag "highschool love" ano, makita mo lang, masundo at mahatid ka lang, and kahit anung layo ng lalakarin nyo, okay lang basta magkasama kayo! Wow, parang highschool girl na naman ako na mabilis ang heartbeat ko habang nagkukuwento ulit sa inyo (ha ha). Memories........(.oh diba Pareng James,)
light the corners of your mind......misty water coloured memories...of the way we were! Kahit kanta yan, totoo lahat meaning nyan! Anyway, gising na ako ulit from dreaming (ha ha)..Ingat ka lagi bestfriend and hope to chat with you very very soon.

Freddie, Jun Papa, Ramir, Trifee, Prislette, Randy, Ronnie, Nanette, Manny Ace, Manny C, Jaime Dabu - kumusta na kayong lahat. Take care and regards to each of you. Keep smiling!

Till then,
Ehris

erratum:

NOT RONNIE LADRAN, TAMA KA JAMES, SI RONNIE LABAO NGA ANG MAY BIRTHDAY (HAHAHAHAHAHAHA)!!!!



ALAM MO EHRIS MY DEAR, AKO ANG ISANG TAONG NAPAKADALING HUMINGI NG TAWAD PAG NAGKAMALI AKO EVEN TO THE EXTENT OF KNEELING DOWN TO THE PERSON WHO MAY TAKE A HARD TIME FORGIVING ME, PERO MAY MGA TAONG PINAPATAGAL TALAGA NILA ANG PAGPAPATAWAD SAKIN KASI THEY FEEL CUTIE WHEN I KNEEL DOWN BEFORE THEM HEHE!!! ABUSO ANO HEHE OKAY LANG FOR THE SAKE OF ART ESTE FRIENDSHIP!!!

Good stormy day batchmates! Yes may typhoon 'Karen' at present dito sa Pinas, Northern part, signal No. 3 since yesterday, pero dito sa Southern part (kasama ang Cavite & nearby cities & provinces ay wala pa namang signal from PAGASA, pero naulan at medyo malamig), hoping na hindi magtagal ang bagyo para hindi makapananlanta like the previous typhoons na magkakasunod pumasok dito sa Pinas.

Here's Ompong's personal e-mail to me (he's working at present in Macau), which I would like to share to all of you:

"Tuesday, August 19, 2008 5:21 PM
From: "Rudy Concepcion" <ompongcon@yahoo.com>
To: rrp_mlrp@yahoo.com
Re: Hello to both of you!

DEAR COUSIN LETTY,

THANKS A LOT FOR BRIEFING US ON WHAT'S THE LATEST ABOUT OUR AHS '77 GROUP, AND THANKS FOR TAKING TIME IN BEING ACTIVE AND SHARING INFOS ON WHAT'S GOING AROUND, GOOD LUCK SA MGA KASAMA NATIN SA CLASS OF 1977-IV-1 NA NAGNANAIS NA TUMAKBO MARAHIL AY UPANG MAY MAGAWA SA LALONG IKAGAGANDA NG SAMAHAN, MABUHAY KAYO , GOODLUCK AND GODBLESS !!!

REGARDS,
OMPONG CONCEPCION- "TATAKBO RIN. . . . . . .SA BEIJING OLYMPICS, HE, HE,!"

Ka. Igme este DON SR. JAIME mali pa din, SIR JAMES i guess more fitting > Thanks for understanding me and coming to my rescue hehe, ganoon ako talaga, parang kung sa Catholic CBCP ng gobyerno hahahaha, kasi kung walang mag-check na pang-aabuso ay naku anong mangyari di ba? Kasi kung noon pa ay binago na nila ang mga maling alegasyon nila at humingi ng tawad, wala kasing public apology eh, disin sana'y tapos na 'di ba. Tapos may duktong pa, they do not learn at all kasi nga siguro sistema na ng bituka nila. But there's room for changes and I believe in that. SO I DON'T THINK THEY GOT THE RIGHT TO PERPETUATE THEMSELVES IN POWER, CUZ AS MANNY CORTEZ PUT IT, THEY NEED A SPIRITUAL HEALING FIRST. Come to realize that they are sinners, accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and personal Savior then and then, the changes thru regeneration may take place. Eh hindi ganun di nanatuto at walang confession of sin lalo na sa pag-amin nila na tama si Ompong na pinalabas nilang siya pa ang culprit and they even produced false witnesses, parang ginawa talaga ng mga Romano ke Cristo when they produced false witnesses. GOOD SAM AND OMPONG CAME OUT (out of the blues) TO RECTIFY ALL THEIR LIES AND ALLEGATIONS! Then finally in passing they admitted na tama sila Sam and Ompong but did not even got the heck of ACCEPTING IT PUBLICLY, and the WORST OF IT WAS THEIR FAILURE TO DO A PUBLIC APOLOGY. Palibhasa may mga nakapaligid sa kanilang fans, cronies, and maharlikas who easily took side cuz THEY ALMOST WORSHIP HIM!!! DAPAT NGA KASI TAYO DERECHO, WALANG IKUT-IKOT, WALANG PROTEKATAHAN KASI KAIBIGAN, WALANG PALAKASAN, WALANG PADRINO SYSTEM KASI TAPOS NA ANG PANG-AABUSO NG MGA ESPANYOL FOR 300 YRS, WALANG PAGHAHARING LAHI, WALANG ABUSUHAN, WALANG GINAGAWA PARA SA PROYEKTO NG ALUMNI KUNG HNDI PORMAHAN, INUMAN, KASIYAHAN.

You know what, last night I could hardly sleep talaga, the thought of two allegations that I haven't cleared yet popped up in my mind:

(1) FIRST: WALA DAW AKONG GINAGAWA SA GRUPO OR ALUMNI NATIN, IN THE FIRST PLACE, KAYO BANG MGA OFFICERS THRU THE YEARS MAY NAGAWA NA SA ALUMNI, ANONG BIG PROJECT NA ANG GINAWA NIYO PARA SA BELOVED ALMA MATER NATIN? Ang mag parties na napuna ni Kasmothie, get-togeter lagi, jokes na kay babastos?, ABER BEFORE ALLEGING ME THAT WALA AKONG GINAWA, eh ibalik ko kaya sa inyol yung masakit nyong hatol at sumbat sakin, EH KAYOOOOOO?????? (parang nangyari sa kanta nyong ang mamatay ng dahil sayoooo.. tawa ako ng tawa don, James 'kaw tlga), MAY BIG PROJECTS NA BA KAYO SA ARAULLO? at SINONG GUSTONG GUMAWA SA ALUMNI NATING KUNO SA PANGALAN LANG KUNG PATI P10,000 WAY BACK INTHE '80S AY BIGLANG NAWALA PLUS IBANG RAISED MONIES? PATI LIBRO NG MAI-TURN OVER AY ZERO BALANCE NA LANG AT WALANG OFFICIAL TRANSPARENCIES AND CLEARANCE? ABER, OO WALA NGA AKONG GINAWA PERO MALINIS ANG KAMAY KO SA ULING NG PALAYOK (kayo din naman wala eh)! WALANG MASASABI SAKIN ANG MGA GALING ABROAD NA NAABUSO, MAGING MGA HONOR STUDENTS NA NAABUSO DIN? TULAD KO NA NAYURAKAN ANG PANGALAN HANGGANG NGAYON SA IYAKANG BLUES NA YAN.

You got to learn HOW TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES PROFESSIONALLY, hindi yung AKO PA ANG NAKAKASIRA NG UNITY when I ATTEMPTED TO EXPOSE THE REAL PRECURSOR OF DISUNITY, silang emosyonal at pulos kasiyahan eh naghihirap na ang mga daming drop-outs na lang ng school? BAKIT KAILANGANG GUMAWA PA KASI NG FUND-RAISING KUNG PWEDE NAMANG MANGGALING SA KANI-KANYANG BULSA TULAD NG GRUPO NAMING PASTORS DITO KAHIT MAHIRAP NAKAKAPAGTAYO KAMI NG MGA CHURCH BUILDINGS, CHURCH SCHOOLS, MISSIONS ALL THRU OUT THE PHILIPPINES KASI WALA KAMING HAPPENINGS MASYADO, WE FOCUS OUR GOALS TO A NOBLE CAUSE OF PRIORITIZING ON CONSTRUCTING BUILDINGS AND MORE SENSIBLE PROJECTS THAT WIL BENEFIT THE UNDERPRIVILEGE. Eh ang AHS 1977 alumni aber, sagutin niyo ko may nagawa ba kayong ganyan? KAYA OKAY LANG NA MATANGGAP KO NA SABIHIN NYONG WALA AKONG NAGAWA SA ALUMNI, KASI PALA "VERY EXCEPTIONAL" NA ANG NAGAWA NIYO SA AHS 1977 ALUMNI ANO, ANG DAMI!!! "KUDOS" ALL OFFICERS!!! May pondo ba kayo ngayon kami sa grupo naming pastors, may 285 thousand lang na pondo na pinag-iisipan kung san dadalin, MAY PERA KAMING HINDI NAWAWALA, AT NEVER KAMING MAG-OUT OF TOWN, MAGHOTEL HOTEL, KASI FOCUSED KAMI SA KAWANGGAWA LANG HINDI SA KALAWANG-GAWA!!!!

ALAM NIYO KUNG HINDI LANG AKO SUPER BUSY AT NASA HAMAK NA MT. TRALALA, TATAKBO AKO EH (PAGKATAPOS NG PANG-AAPI, GUSTONG MAGRETREAT DITO, DONT CRY PLS), PARA TOTAL REVAMP. MANNY CORTEZ PWEDE BANG I-PRINT MO ANG MGA SINABI KO DITO PARA MAGING MODEL NG SUSUNOD NA MGA OFFICERS? PLS?

(2) SECOND, MAY NAI-POST SA DATING NAGSARA NATING QT COFFEE SHOP NG GANITONG PANANALITA NA KAGABI KO LAG NAPAGTUUNAN NG PANSIN......
"Ikaw ang naghamon na ilabas lahat ang issues. Inilabas mo pa nga ito sa Araullo website na maaring mabasa ng mga taong nag-graduate noong 1940s. Pero pagkatapos na itapon sa lahat ay tumakbo ka sa Baguio. Kapag naghagis ka ng dumi sa public, wag mong iiwan at hayaang pulutin ng iba. Hindi kita kaaway. Binibigay ko lang ang gusto mo na derechahang salita. Kaya ko naman yun eh. Ang question lang...makakabuti ba ito sa ting dalawa?
SA ARAULLO SITE WALA AKONG MASAMANG SINULAT DOON NA SUKAT ISKANDALUHIN ANG BATCH 1977... (masyado kasing pumapansin ng maliit samin hindi nakita ag higanteng pagkakamali ng clique nila) ANG GUSTO KO LANG AY MAGPANSINAN SILA DOON KAHIT BALIKAN MO NG PAULIT ULIT, KASI NGA MAY NAGPOST NA ISA THEN DI PINANSIN ANG ISA, SO KITANG KITA NG MAKAKABASA NA PAREHONG AHS77 EH NAG-ISNABAN.

TUMAKBO SA BAGUIO? EH DATI NA KONG TAGA-BAGUIO INDAY, ANONG PINAGSASABI MO???? TUMAKBO SA BAGUIO, NO SENSE PARA MAGING DERECHO KA SA PANANALITA SAKIN, KUNG DEDERECHO DIN LANG SAKIN WAG NONE SENSE KASI IT WILL NEVER MAKE SENSE AT ALL!!! ONE THING KUNG HINDI KA BUMALIK SA PINAS PARA MAKIPAG-AWAY LALO NA AKO, KASI ANG NAKITA NYO DEPENSAHAN NYO ANG MAHAL NYONG KAGRUPO AT HINDI NAKITA NA SILANG KINAMPIHAN MO HANGGANG NGAYON ANG SILANG NAUNANG NANG-AWAY, NAGING BULAG-BULAGAN KA SA MGA NAGAWA NILANG PAGTANGAY NG PERA, ABUSO SA BATCHMATES, ETC..!!! MAY BAD PRECEDENTS EH NA NAI-TOLERATE.

By the way kung madami kami dito na nawala sa kabila at no queber, well, pwedeng maulit naman 'yan vice versa, ganun ang buhay. KASI DITO OPEN SA LAHAT, LALO NA SA IKABUBUTI, NO SUPPRESSION, DEMOKRASYA, KUNG GUSTO KASI NILA NG WHOLESOME, THIS IS NOT THE PLACE, KASI DITO TOTOHANAN WALANG TAGUAN NG SAMAIN NG LOOB, NAKAKA-HIGH BLOOD YUN. DESPWES TULUYAN NA ANG KATAHIMIKAN, WALANG IIYAK!!! Walang iyakin dito sa wlaang kapararakan!!!!

GUSTO KONG BUKSAN ULI ANG MGA ISSUES NA ITO NA WALANG GINAWA SILANG KLARONG PAGLILINIS. KUNG NAI-TOLETRATE ITO, IT WILL CREATE A PRECEDENT THAT OTHER FUTURE LEADERS MAY CLAIM AS THEIR EXCUSES, DAPAT MATULDUKAN ITO NG PUBLIC CONFESSION & APOLOGY PARANG MABURA ANG BAD PRECEDENT, TAMA?

TAPOS NGAYON TATAHIMIKAN KAMI KASI MAY UMIYAK?

HAY SORRY EHRIS HINDI LANG IKAW ANG MADALING MAGALIT GAWA NG HIGH BLOOD AKO DIN, SORRY TO ALL PERO THESE ISSUES ARE FACTS IN THE PAST THAT NEW ALUMNI FUTURE LEADERS MAY ADDRESS. MAGALLING KASI SILANG MAGTAKIPAN EH FOR UNITY'S SAKE. I GOT A DIFFERENNT PERSPECTIVE OF TRUE UNITY, NO BAD PRECEDENTS AT SIBAKIN ANG GRUPONG ITO!!!! DON'T VOTE THEM!!!

Now na I was able to address these 2 issues na hindi ko nasagot at napansin noon, ay pwede nakong manahimk for the meantime. FREDDIE, JUN PAPA, MANNY, LETTY, ATG, ALL FORUMOTION GUYZ, TUMAKBO KAYO PLS PLS PLS , AND SAVE OUR ALUMNI FROM TOTAL STINKING DECOMPOSITION!!! Alisin ang hindi marunong sa leadership. AHS 1977 alumni is not a playground, neither a pleasure paradise, nor a politicking Casino, but rather it should be a workplace!!!

Maginaaawwww..... ngayon dito dahil sa bagyong "Karen"! Kaya nga I have a cup of instant hot coffee w/ creamer sa tabi ko while making this message:

Pareng Freddie -> wow naman talaga! Ang galing mong magcompose ng both Tagalog & English poem ha, parang inspired ka yata ngayong gumawa ng mga poems, kaya lang bakit para yata sa boys, eh papaano naman kaming mga girls (oopppsss... sa mga babae nga pala ay loveletters ang ginagawa ninyo, kaso sa aming mga classmates/batchmates na babae, anything for us, pare?)

Larry -> haaayyyy naku! It seems litong-lito ka sa mga nicknames of our new batchmates na nakapasok dito sa forumotion. Naku, finally natama mo rin that it's Fernando 'Ronnie' Labao who celebrated his birthday last Aug. 18, while si Fernando 'Randy' Nuñez, III ay ang Makata ng AHS at ay yung nag-over-the-bakod na 1st posting which I posted here, wala pa ngang kasunod yung posting niya na iyon eh. While si Salvador 'Sonny' Ladran naman ay hindi pa rin nakakapag-post, hayaan nyo if ever I will get the chance to meet or talk to him again, I will remind him about this forumotion of ours. Of course, your correction is very much accepted, lahat naman tayo ay nagkakamali di ba? I'm happy that in a way, we managed to comfort you yesterday, kita mo ang sarap ng may mga "angels" sa likuran mo na very much concern sa iyo & to all na nandito sa forumotion. Again, thank you very much Larry for creating this forumotion link natin na we're all becoming close to each other dahil each & everyone maintain the harmony, sincerety, honesty, trust & most of all the respect for each other, kahit pa anong topic ang pag-usapan, mas lalo ngang napapasarap ng mga biruan, tawanan & the flashbacks during our high school days, pati na ang mga personal compositions ninyong mga tula, kwento, etc..., eventhough sometimes ay may konting sad or stressful topics, but still we can easily make it into a relaxing, comfortable & worth reading/posting of messages

Prislette -> hi & thanks for your call yesterday! Hope you & your whole family are all ok!

Pareng James -> you made my day again! Napatawa mo na naman ako sa latest message mo. Nice to know that you're doing ok, kaya sana huwag kalimutan ang uminom ng gamot. Tama ka Pareng James na si Josephine 'Jo' Liongson-Leyba nga ang nagtrabaho sa Johnson & Johnson's Phils. & at present she's in Chicago working, Correct ka rin na grupo nila Jo & Catherine Kabiling who performed a special dance number during our 1988 Reunion sa Jorama Restaurant. Then tama ka rin na si Racquel Pateña (na pamangkin ni Carmen Pateña) is the current Secretary of our batch & totoong belter siya when it comes sa singing. Ikaw naman, bakit mo itinago nung high school tayo na mahilig ka palang kumanta? Anyhow, sana pagbakasyon mo ulit dito sa Pinas ay maririnig ka na naming kumanta (whether you like it or not, pilitan ba?). Kasi si Randy, during Mrs. Sarmiento's birthday celebration, he played the guitar while singing, mabuti na nga lang at nagdala ng gitara si Rudy Victor that time, kaya ang saya ng jamming namin

Ehris -> hi to you friend! Oo nga, nabitin ang chat natin yesterday, anyhow marami pa namang next time for us to have a longer chat di ba. Thanks for your call this yesterday ha bago pa tayo nakapag-chat, mabuti na lang at nakauwi na ako from the market when nung tumawag ka. Tanong ko lang kung lifetime maintenance na ba ang iniinom mong gamot para sa high blood or for a certain period of months lang? Ingat ka my friend, alam mo namang kailangan tayo ng loved ones & family members too. Naku ha, dalawa na kayo ni Prislette na mahilig mag-magic sing, dapat masampolan nyo kami sa 2010

To all of you batchmates -> warm regards! Time-off muna ako for the meantime kasi I have to cook our lunch. Half day for 3 days my kids kasi exams nila, kaya gusto ko when they arrive home ay mainit pa ang pagkain na pagsasaluhan namin.

Naalala mo ang pagbabantay ko ng bags nyo kasi exempted ako kay Mr. Openiano sa P.E. at ROTC. Tama ka na magkakatabi tayo ni Trifee sa Journalism haaaay naku those were the days!!! Ang miss ko si Mr. Vasquez, palagi kaming naiiwan sa Journalism room at mahilig siya mag-analyze ng mga ugali, kasipagan, katamaran ng mga journalists, tapos punta ako sa kabilang room either nando'n si Mr. Gutierrez ng Ang Moog, si Lolita Catoy? at pag-nandon si Miss Garlit, hay naku ang tagal naming nag-usap, hanga ako sa kapuliduhan ni Ma'am Garlit, di ba nag-asawa siya Garlit din ang last name or surname, kaya walang pinagbago ang name niya after the wedding!!! Come to think na unique ang surname a Garlit!!!

Ako ang recall ko sa'yo, James, noong 30 yrs. ago ay 'yung prominent adam's apple mo na pagnag-react ang face mo, yumuyugyog ang apple mo sa leeg. At ang pantalon mo super fit at laki ng istate ng pantalon mo at naka-clogs hahahaha!!! kasi uso noon di ba?

EHRIS > Naku salamat sa praises mo, talagang ganoon ako, super derecho at galit ako sa awaang wala sa lugar, kasi maging sa teevee pag-may nahuhuling mga pinaghahanap di ba, super paawa ang dating pero pag-dumadalisila ng bitima mga walanghiya sila di ba? Kaya ako allergic sa emosyon, dapat talaga katotohanan, sabi nga ni Gasa Abelgas, "LOHIKA, SIYENSYA AT ANO PA YONG HULI (hehe). Good nagustuhan mo ang bisaya na poem ko hahaha, ako din tawa ng tawa when i was composing it. Maging yung red carpet, you guyz deserve it!!! Sorry sa mga nasabi ko na medyo brutal hah, just continue posting sa kabila, konti lang naman sa kanila ang naroon sa clique as compared sa tinutukoy ko, 'wag kang maapektuhan hah. Samahan mo si Ma'am Joley doon!!! Maging sina Jun Papa and Prislette na bumabalik sa posting nila doon, I hope hindi ko kayo naapektuhan, you got your friends in there, good nga kung mapagusapan nyo ang mga naipost ko, somehow, yung hinangaan nyo saking pagiging derecho at pagmamahal sa grupo ang masabi nyo!!! Let Letty and I na lang ang as in Zero na sa QT fo a valid reason, though we miss some of them in there!!!

LETZ my angel hahahaha, as you said > Tama ka na mixed up na ko sa mga nicknames nila, imagine noong high school ang tawag ko kay Jaime Dungca eh either Igme o Jimmy, kay Fernando Nunez eh definitely isa lang, Nunez, kay Salvador Ladran, lahat tayo Badong ang tawag, miss ko itong taong ito sinabi nyo, at kay Fernando Labao, Labao!!!! Tapos now, aba becase of the passage of time, nagsipag-Amrikano ang mga pangalan!!!Haay naku Letz sinabi mo, sa lahat ng memory gaps ko ikaw ang umaalalay, talagang the best kang guardian angel and critic ko, aminin. Ako kasi mas gusto ko ang nai-kokorek ako, kasi rooms for improvements yan eh!!! Oo kung maginaaaaawwww dyan doblehin mo dito pero sanay na kami dito sa Baguio City, kasi maaliwalas ang paligid.

Wala akong masabi sa description mo of our link, the best ka talaga magdescribe, metikulosa, babae kasi.... "we're all becoming close to each other dahil each & everyone maintain the harmony, sincerety, honesty, trust & most of all the respect for each other, kahit pa anong topic ang pag-usapan, mas lalo ngang napapasarap ng mga biruan, tawanan & the flashbacks during our high school days, pati na ang mga personal compositions ninyong mga tula, kwento, etc..., eventhough sometimes ay may konting sad or stressful topics, but still we can easily make it into a relaxing, comfortable & worth reading/posting of messages." WORDS FITLY SPOKEN!!!!

SA LAHAT NG MGA TUMAWAG SA'KIN AND TEXTED ME TO CONSOLE ME, SALAMAT PO, I ALSO BELIEVE IN YOU!!! KAHIT TAGA-QT O DITO, thanks!!! SALAMAT PO!!!

Ay naku, panandaliang nag-init na naman ang ating Coffee Shop . Let's bring back our usual nice sipping of hot coffee, latte or cappucino here in our little Starbatch store.

Larry my friend: Kita mo, hindi kita matiis, I have to call you personally & comfort you. Sana naman kahit paputol -putol yung phonecard ko, at least napa-gaang ko ang loob mo. My dear friend, hard as it may be to try to let other people see your side, to have them think the same way as you do, it may not even happen. Iba-iba ang mga tao, some are really stubborn & out of line, out of reach, out of reality. They are the "masters" of their fate, they are the ones that "make" what they really are. I guess we just have to accept that we cannot change or open up someone else's eyes to a higher goal. Yung mga taong chismosa, inggitera, intriguera, naninira ng iba, you know what.... I bet you hindi rin sila maligaya sa buhay nila. They can never have any peace , satisfaction & contentment in their lives. Just think of it this way.... hindi sila masaya. Don't let those people bring you down, just smile, eventhough sinisira ka nila, I bet you "sira" din sila. Have a happy smile on your face & don't let them add any more "frown lines" on your forehead!! Sila na lang ang mag mumukhang matanda at haggard, basta ikaw, eh, looking "young & pogi".

Letty: Congratulations that you have decided to become a Comelec member. I know that you can make a difference. By the way, Roel just called us about 2 hours ago. Nagkuwentuhan kaming tatlo .Ngayon lang daw siya nakalabas ng barko, eventhough they have been in Long Beach for week. Bukas daw ay 8am ang alis ng barko nila for their next destination. I have seen another "ad" for an Adult Evening Class on computers. I am thinking about it, every Monday & Wednesday 7pm to 9:30 pm. Kakatakot lang kapag gabi na umuwi, baka may sumunod sa akin kapag naglalakad ako pupunta sa kotse, so niyaya ko si JUn, so siguro next week, mag re-register kaming dalawa, classmate uli kami!

Ronnie: A belated Happy Birthday to you! Pareho pala tayong " Leo" huh? Ako, mabait, tahimik lang , pero kapag nadehado ako, palaban ako, lalo na kung alam kong tama ako. Makikita nila kung papanong " manlisik" ang mga mata ko. ha! ha! ha!

James: Nagpaalala ka na naman ng HS days. Si Miss Bilog ba o si Miss Meris ang sinasabi mo kapag naka line formation sa umaga? Yes, kayong mga boys, di tabi-tabi ang line natin, section 1, 2 & 3? Tapos ang mga boys lalakasan ang : "Ang mamatay ng dahil sa iyo". Naalala ko nga minsan sa line formation, mahaba ang buhok ni Jun, tinapyasan siya ng buhok ni Mrs. Flores, yung P.E. teacher.
High school..... ay naku, bakit ganoon? Yung " crush" mo, di ka pinapansin, di ka kinakausap, pero yun namang "ayaw" mo, sunod ng sunod, nagpapadala pa ng sulat. Minsan pa tinataguan ko pa, tingin ng tingin, tapos kikindatan ka pa! Ay... I still remember his name, nakakabuwisit! J-S prom naman, ok lang ako na walang partner noong Junior tayo, noong namang Senior na , ok pa rin, wala pa ring partner. Pero may gustong maghatid sa aki pauwi noon. Dahil gabi na, ok lang, payag ako. So, lakad sa may Jai-Alai, noong sinabi ko kung saan ako umuuwi, napalunok, ang layo kasi, sa QC pa. Napasubo tuloy siya. Ang balita ko noon, kaya pala walang gustong maghatid sa akin noon , kasi malayo daw at mahal ang pamasahe, tapos obligado pang ilibre syempre ako. Mga "cheapo". Masuwerte nga kayong mga lalaki, puede ninyong lapitang ang gusto ninyo, pero kamingmga babae, eh, "wait" na lang kung lalapitan ka o hindi. Mabuti ka pa , kahit isang dipa ang layo ninyo ni Annabelle, at least may partner ka.

Ehris: Hello, narinig ko ang boses mo noong tumawag ako kay Letty at nagtanong ng phone number ni Larry. Nag-cha-chat pala kayo. Hamo, next time sasali na rin ako sa inyo. Mag-e-enroll na naman ako ng computer class. Sana huwag akong pumalya kagaya noon.

O sige na mga Kapihan family, it is currently 11:45pm. I need my beauty sleep. Ayaw kong madagdagan ang mga "fine lines". Still have to wake up early, at 5am to get ready for work..

Good night, take it easy, be cool, relax, so that we will all be looking beautiful & handsome.

luv yah all,
prislette

TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR PEACE OF MIND



1. Do Not Interfere In Others' Business Unless Asked

Most of us create our own problems by interfering too often in others' affairs. We do so because somehow we have convinced ourselves that our way is the best way, our logic is the perfect logic and those who do not conform to our thinking must be criticized and steered to the right direction - our direction. This thinking denies the existence of individuality and consequently the existence of God. God has created each one of us in a unique way. No two human beings can think or act in exactly the same way. All men or women act the way they do because God within them prompts them that way. There is God to look after everything. Why are you bothered? Mind your own business and you will keep your peace.

2. Forgive and Forget

This is the most powerful aid to peace of mind. We often develop ill feelings inside our heart for the person who insults us or harms us. We nurture grievances. These in turn result in loss of sleep, development of stomach ulcers, and high blood pressure. This insult or injury was done once, but nourishing of grievance goes on forever by constantly remembering it. Get over this bad habit. Believe in the justice of God. Let Him judge the act of the one who insulted you. Life is too short to waste in such trifles. Forgive, Forget, and march on. Love flourishes in giving and forgiving.

3. Do Not Crave Recognition

This world is full of selfish people. They seldom praise anybody without selfish motives. They may praise you today because you are in power, but no sooner than you are powerless, they will forget your achievement and will start finding faults in you. Why do you wish to kill yourself in striving for their recognition? Their recognition is not worth the aggravation. Do your duties ethically and sincerely and leave the rest to God.

4. Do Not Be Jealous

We all have experienced how jealousy can disturb our peace of mind. You know that you work harder than your colleagues in the office, but sometimes they get promotions; you do not. You started a business several years ago, but you are not as successful as your neighbor whose business is only one year old. There are several examples like these in everyday life. Should you be jealous? If you are destined to be rich, nothing in the world can stop you. If you are not so destined, no one can help you either. Nothing will be gained by blaming others for your misfortune. Jealousy will not get you anywhere; it will only
take away your peace of mind.

5. Change Yourself According to the Environment

If you try to change the environment single-handedly, the chances are you will fail. Instead, change yourself to suit your environment. As you do this, even the environment, which has been unfriendly to you, will mysteriously change and seem congenial and harmonious.

6. Endure What Cannot Be Cured

This is the best way to turn a disadvantage into an advantage. Everyday we face numerous inconveniences, ailments, irritations, and accidents that are beyond our control. If we cannot control them or change them, we must learn to put up with these things. We must learn to endure them cheerfully thinking, "God wills it so, so be it." God's plan is beyond our comprehension. Believe in it and you will gain in terms of patience, inner strength and will power.

7. Do Not Bite Off More Than You Can Chew

This maxim needs to be remembered constantly. We often tend to take more responsibilities than we are capable of carrying out. This is done to satisfy our ego. Know your limitations. Why take on additional loads that may create more worries? You cannot gain peace of mind by expanding your external activities. Reduce your material engagements and spend time in prayer, introspection and meditation. This will reduce those thoughts in your mind that make you restless. Uncluttered mind will produce greater peace of mind.

8. Meditate Regularly

Meditation calms the mind and gets rid of disturbing thoughts. This is the highest state of peace of mind. Try and experience it yourself. If you meditate earnestly for half an hour everyday in the presence of the Lord, your mind will tend to become peaceful during the remaining 23-1/2 hours. Your mind will not be easily disturbed as it was before.
You would benefit by gradually increasing the period of daily meditation. You may think that this will interfere with your daily work. On the contrary, this will increase your efficiency and you will be able to produce better results in less time.

9. Never Leave the Mind Vacant

An empty mind is the devil's workshop. All evil actions start in the vacant mind. Keep your mind occupied in something positive, something worthwhile. Actively follow a hobby. Do something that holds your interest. You must decide what you value more: money or peace of mind. Your hobby, like social work or church work, may not always earn you more money, but you will have a sense of fulfillment and achievement. Even when you are resting physically, occupy yourself in healthy reading or mental praising of God's name.

10. Do Not Procrastinate snd Never Regret

Do not waste time in protracted wondering "Should I or shouldn't
I?" Days, weeks, months, and years may be wasted in that futile mental debating. You can never plan enough because you can never anticipate all future happenings. Always remember, God has His own plan, too, for you. Value your time and do the things that need to be done. It does not matter if you fail the first time. You can learn from your mistakes and succeed the next time. Sitting back and worrying will lead to nothing. Learn from your mistakes, but do not brood over the past. DO NOT REGRET. Whatever happened was destined to happen only that way. Take it as the Will of God. You do not have the power to alter the course of God's Will. Why cry over spilt milk?

May God help you remain at peace with yourself and the world around you!
