Thank you, Thank you and Thank You

First I would like to thank God for our successful golden reunion with the hard work of our batchmates there in Orion.  Your hard work is very much appreciated.  The weather was really warm but your warm welcome to international group and Manila group is so great.  Thank you boy and Luz for posting our memorable photos.  This event cannot be forgotten.  Thank you for all members of the committee and for Emma and Fred for sharing their beautiful place for various batch activities. Thank you everyone.  I am really happy that I belong to Batch63 which I consider my second family.  I see closeness of everyone.  For you batchmates, I really enjoyed being with you even only for two days.  Labis akong natuwa sa dalawang araw na iyon na tayo ay nagkasamasama.  Nakakalungkot nga lang at hindi nakauwi sina Cora, Luna, Fely, Ernie del Rosario, Frank at Anselmo for a very valid reason.  Sana sa susunod nating reunion makarating na sila including, Manny Baluyot a/k/a Manny Rivera, Ernie Santos, Butoy, Rolando Dalisay, Lourdes Garcia, Lolita Zulueta, Sally Villazor, Estrella Baluyot and the rest of those in abroad and especially of those in the Philippines who were not able to attend this golden anniversary.  Sayang at hindi nila naramdaman ang ating kaligayan this recent golden reunion.  Again for you all of you there batchmates in Orion, thank you, thank you, thank you and for you there in Manila hope to see you again in our next reunion, and for Nelia, Edita, Annie, Mike, Fely, Josie, Luna let us continue communicating electronically by phone and FB.  Orly of Manila group kanta ka ulit ng Paul Anka next time.  Hindi ko alam na magaling ka palang kumanta.  Sayang hindi napakinggan ng mga hindi umatend.  I really miss ang masayang kuwentuhan, kantahan, sayawan, at higit sa lahat masarap na kainan.  Let us pray to our Lord God to continue to grant us the grace of good health of mind and body so we will see again, as much as possible yearly. THANK YOU LORD AND THANK YOU BATCHMATES63.

Goodbye! For now.............

T o my dear classmates,

I'm leaving for the US on June 6th.I don't know if I will have a chance to see you before I leave.But before I go I would like to thank each and everyone who made this very memorable Golden Reunion a very successful event,something that we will cherish and remember for the rest of our lives.I can never express in mere words the happiness that I have experienced during those few days that we were together.Those feelings will linger for a long long time.One thing for sure when I get back to the US I will experience a great feeling of emptiness,as Fred was saying,we will be looking up for a while reminiscing about the good times we spent together.I already know what to do,that's the reason why I always have my camera and my video.I wish we could do this every year for as long as we live.Doing this make us feel we were still in high school,we feel so carefree and so young even though we can already feel the aches and pains in our body.

For our classmates who were not able to make it this time because of very important reasons,I wish they could come next time.I know that even though you were not here physically,your hearts were with us during this Golden Reunion.I hope the pictures that Luz posted in our blog will give you an idea how it was.Luz thank you for being so patient in sharing those pictures with us.Emma and Fred,thank you so much for letting us use Araro as a venue,you have a very beautiful place.Thank you for all the gifts and all the love that everybody has given us balikbayans,those will never be forgotten.A big thanks also for those who have  given us rides,otherwise we will be riding tricycles to get around.I am so overwhelmed by the way we were welcomed by everybody.

So long my friends,till we met againTake good care of yourselves so we can see each other again.God bless us all.

I love you all.
