There were about a hundred attendees; more or less
90 batchmates and about 10 spouses or soon to be spouse
(tama ba, Mr. Paul?).
2) The "Ang Bahay ng Alumni" proved to be
a good venue. We had the place all to ourselves. Thanks
to Philip Escudero for negotiating the rental fee
for the place and the use of the lcd projector and
projection screen.

We started around 7 in the evening and ended around
1 a.m..

Father Faul Asuncion led the batch in the opening
prayer and a minute of silence for the batchmates
who have gone ahead and joined the Creator in heaven.

dance and kiss me contest.

There were some awards given out (thanks to Esmer
for working on the categories and the certificates).

Dondi Orlina and Sheila Quemado proved very able hosts.
We even had a surprise song number from Sheila

Food was more than enough. May Fe handled talking
with the caterer and choosing the menu. We had a lechon
baka, yummy, thanks to Armand's insistence that it
was worth it. He was right.
9)
Drinks were overflowing, both hard and soft. Thanks
to Kiks Hernandez for the canned softdrinks from coca-cola
export and the hard drinks (also solicited by him
but can't remember from whom at the moment), to Tonio
Bautista for the tropical ice carbonated flavored
water and to Ned Pascua for the keg of san miguel
draft beer.

The registration, program and contests were efficiently
handled by the gang of Lorica Lim, Tet Ubaldo, Rosalie
Serrano and Heidi Samson. di ko na maalala kung sino
pa yung iba but thank you.
11)
Concon worked on the batch directory with the help
of Dideth Torres. Again thank you. Version 1 pa lang
so there will be revisions and improvements to follow.
Will send you guys in the states or wherever a copy,
siguro soft copy na lang ha.

Noah Lacanilao tried his best to complete the cd version
of our sulyap but di nakayanan so we will have to
wait a little longer. Sorry, batchmates. we'll try
to have it out before march 2004. Noah gave us a sneak
preview of what the cd sulyap would be like. He also
came up with a collage of pictures which brought us
down memory lane and the corrdiors of the UPIS. Konti
na lang maiiyak na sana ako. Thanks also to Allan
Bornas for the use of his IBM laptop (ayan, Caloy
Llamas, libreng plugging ng kompanya mo ha. Thanks
also for volunteering your laptop, unfortunately di
natuloy.

Ramon "Travolta" Miciano started the dancing.
Marami pala tayong mahilig sumayaw! Next reunion or
party uli, whichever comes first.

I think everybody had a great time reminiscing about
the good old days and hanging out with old friends.
Di natapos ang pag-flash ng mga cameras.

Nabitin yata yung ibang tao so they brought the party
to east st. louis in bohol ave. Di ko na alam kung
anong oras sila natapos doon.
