BSPT Batch D: Reunion with Tess and Friends

.
Note: Tess Gagui-Ichinose (my college classmate and friend, NSDB-PNC BSPT Batch D at the Phillippine Normal College) and her family who are based in Tokyo, Japan were in town recently. Last Tuesday, 19 August 2008, we visited Tess in her condominium unit in Alabang. Tess recently celebrated her birthday. Aside from Tess, those in the photo are Morey, Ronald, Cora, myself, and Chloe (Cora's daughter who is also my inaanak or godchild).

Below are some photos taken during Tess's post-birthday celebration in Alabang. Note: A Filipino birthday celebration is incomplete without the 'pancit' (Filipino-Chinese pasta). The 'pancit' is for 'long life'.

BSPT Batch D Class Reunion: Dinner and Bowling in Makati

Note: Last Saturday (9/22/07) my BSPT (Batch D) classmates (at Philippine Normal College) and I had a mini-reunion at the Glorietta Mall in Makati City. Tess (who is based in Tokyo, Japan) is in town for a few days. (The last time Tess and I met was in July 2007 when I visited her in Tokyo). After having dinner our group went to a bowling center. We had lots of fun reminiscing our student days and talking about our escapades in college. Those who made it to the reunion are (standing from left to right): Raffy, Ruby, Tess, Morey, Cora, Ferdie, Erwin, and Ronald). We missed many of our classmates who did not make it to the reunion: those based abroad -- Loy (in Chicago, Illinois, USA), Joy (in Los Angeles, California, USA), Daniel (in Phoenix, Arizona, USA), Toto (in Toronto, Canada), Vangie (in Singapore), and Elliot (in the Middle East ?) and those in the Philippines --Kim, Ivan, Jesse, Jun, Rolly, Irwin, Godo, Ramon, Paxy, and Alelli.

Hopefully, during our next class reunion, there will be more of us.

The more, the merrier :)

Cheers,

Raffy
