Toti,
Saw the picture. Ganda pa rin ni Tess, not because she will accommodate me in her revo. I'm just telling the truth. And siyempre pogi pa rin kayong dalawa ni Ed.
Toti, anything you want me to bring in our trip. Mag prepare kasi ako ng sandwiches natin, any preference? Ok ba sa iyo ang soda (are sure hinde lalangamin ang tiyan mo) or you want me to bring your favorite drink (light beer).
Guess who called awhile ago?... Lina Angeles. Naku excited kasi akala niya tapos na ang reunion. She knows that we have a reunion but doesn't have any idea when. Gave her the telephone of Tess, in case there's still room for her. She wants to join us.
Toti puede pa bang gumawa ng correction kasi yong family name ko Arcella dapat Arcilla, its with an i not e. Also, Jose "Jebong" Zaño's address is Francisco O. Balce St., Vinzons, Camarines Norte. Thanks. See you Friday.

Dear Alot,
Ok, kahit na anong nandyan, dami ring mga gasoline stations along the way na may mga convenience stores. Pero siyempre siguradong masarap iyong sandwich na gawa mo…. Libre pa!
I'll do the corrections. Ed sent the directory to me before finalizing so I can review it. Actually, I just assumed, ok na iyong mga information listed,so I just looked for the missing info, which I can fill up, like the address of Baby. Pwede pa namang ma-correct. In the CD of the pictures, I used Arcilla for you and ARCE for Annabelle (hehe). For Joe Zano, I placed the wrong nickname – Ibong (Adarna). I'll correct it to Jebong.
Alot, have you read Danny's question whether Marilou Yu has called you up re: his contribution?

Alot,
Sa wakas, you joined the group. Kahit na I'm not able to check my emails everyday, I catch up on everybody's exchanges and get all the chicahan. Kaya lang, yung last exchange between the guys, medyo hindi ko nasakyan. The one about old flames re-ignited. He! He! Kaya ba "spouses not included"? Joke only ha! Well, try to keep in touch. My messages may be sporadic and late, but you'll hear from me.
God Bless,
Marybeth

wow! we really had a grand time during the reunion and we really missed you guys. you can ask fechie. enjoy na enjoy siya, imagine 1:30 in the morning, ayaw pang umuwi kaso ayaw mag bigay ng extension yong management. mendy even offered to give extra pay pero ayaw talaga.
pareho mo hinde ko rin masakyan yong sinasabi ng mga guys natin. hinde ko alam mo kong sino ang sinasabi nila ha.
we are meeting fechie on tuesday before she leaves for us at 10 pm. i'm sending you some pili cluster kasi sabi niya 1 hour drive lang daw yong place mo. anything more you want from here? i can get it for you. susan is in town and might join us on tuesday.
sayang nga last year when i went to california i didn't know yet yong mga addresses sana napuntahan ko kayo.

Alot, Marybeth, and everyone,
Tess texted me last night that Fechie may not be able to leave yet on Tuesday. Her brother is dying and she may have to stay until he's laid to rest. I thought all the while, his sick brother is in the US, and that was why there was then a possibility she couldn't attend the reunion. Nandito pala sa Philippines.

Hi Alot,
how are you? Sayang I can't make it to the reunion. Kami na lang nila Violy at Glen ang mag re-reunion dito sa Toronto...hehehehe

Hi Danny!
Malu texted me last Good Friday about your donation. Incidentally, I was in Beijing that time and only came back night of Monday. Anyway, she is sending the money to my residence. Email kita pag nasa akin na yong pera. Sayang you will not be able to attend our reunion. Ma-miss namin kayong lahat na hinde makaka-attend. Ingit kayo no?
Regards.

Hi Alot,
At last we heard from you! Alam mo I'm just waiting to see you join the e-group para kahit papaano we can communicate with one another. After graduating from high school, hindi na tayo nagkita nor nagkausap. Mabuti na lang kahit maiksing panahon, we were able to see each other last March in Makati. I'm hoping that since the DPS CLASS OF '67 has been "reunited" big time thru the magic of computers after 40 years, we will never again be without communication with one another, kahit man lang sa e-mail di ba? Salamat nga pala. Ikaw ang sinabi ko ki Malu natawagan para maibigay ko iyong kaunting donation ko para sa ating reunion. Ok, regards to you and your family. Have fun on the reunion and please tell everyone there that I miss them as well. Balitaan mo nalang ako thru e-mail . Thanks again.
Danny

Hi Danny!
I'm still waiting for Malu to deliver your donation. She knows that we are leaving on Friday morning. Sabi mo kaunting donation so you better send some more ... joke only pero puede na rin totohanin. As I told you, next time I will travel to Orlando, Florida ikaw na ang hahanapin ko. We were there for only four days kasi pumunta rin kami sa Virginia, New York and Chicago. Most of the time we were in Disney World, in fact sa sobrang laki hinde namin nakita lahat. Is Lindsbury (zip code 32817) near your place? Hope to see you in Florida sa reunion natin. Sabi nga ni Toti sosyal. Ma miss din namin kayo, especially Men & Chichi I have not seen them for 40 years at least si Marybeth 10 years lang.
Regards.
Alot
Hi Alot,
Ang bilis nang sagutan natin ngayon ano. Anyway, do you have Malu's number? If you have it, can you call her and remind her about it. Kung minsan kasi eh medyo nagiging busy din siya. Her entire family will come here on the 1st week of May. You and your family will always be welcome in my place when you visit Orlando. And I hope it will be soon. Dadalawa rin lang kami sa bahay. My boy has his own place in Ft' Lauderdale and the girl is in Chicago, studying. That place you mentioned should be near Orlando. My zip code is 32833. So, when you see Fechie, tell her to plan the reunion here with those from there who are interested. Sa susunod na balitaan. Regards.

My dear Alot,
It was so nice to hear from you finally. Mukhang sosyal ka pabaka bakasyon ka na lang like Irma! Iba na ang mga Donya. How are you my dear friend. It's been a while and I really miss you. Next time you come on Danny's invitation, I promise I'll see you in Orlando, di ba Insan? Mucho dinero na kasi yan pinsan ko kaya he is inviting the whole class(?) Tama ba Insan? Anyway, when you're in the States, come to California and the CA group will definitely show you around and promise you good time! Please extend my warmest regards to all our classmates. Really so sad to cancel my tickets at the last minute-until yesterday I was still hoping to go but my doctor advised me not to. Will miss everybody and how about another one in two years? What do you say Ed and Toti? Is that possible? Thank you and regards to your family (good looking family!).
Love,
Men
Hi Insan,
Anytime basta ikaw Insan. Hindi naman mayaman. Alam mo naman dito sa America ang buhay. Basta kahit wala basta sama-sama, enjoy diba? You don't have to wait for that reunion to happen. Come visit Orlando anytime and I will show you around. That is an open invitation to everyone! Fechie, Marybeth, Joe, Herminia,etc..) Kaya lang baka mabentahan ko kayo nang bahay dito, heh,heh,heh.
Danny
Dear Men,
It was also so nice to hear from you. I really miss you a lot. Imagine 40 years na kitang hinde nakikita and I'm looking forward to seeing you soon. My next target is California except for San Francisco because that was the 1st stop the last time I went there. Had I known the address of Fechie and Marybeth sana nabisita ko sila. We stayed in San Francisco proper (46th Street near cliffhanger) for one week. I even saw the Benecia sign on the way to Monterrey (tama ba ang sense of direction ko Marybeth. How are you my friend). I'm so contented watching everybody exchanging emails. I keep on laughing everytime I open my inbox. Sabi nga ng husband ko bakit daw ako tawa ng tawa. It has some therapeutic effect. It can cure your tension and stress Sana magkatotoo yong sinabi mo ng maging donya ako so I can attend yong reunion na plinaplano ni Danny. Kong sagot niya ang pamasahe go agad ako. Si Irma ang donya kasi siya ang pa-travel-travel at pa-shopping-shopping. Ako pinaghihirapan ko pa at pinagiiponan.
Give my regards to the family.
Take care my friend.
Love,
Alot

Hello Men and Alot,
Welcome to our group Alot. Sure Men…I have lots of miles that I can just use anytime I want to travel anywhere….My wife goes there frequently because of our daughter and my sister Elizabeth still lives in Orange County where I stay everytime am there…Sige Alot, anytime tell us when you can come to the US, only one request at least 6 months in advance, he, he, he….By the way..…I am so busy preparing for a sudden trip to Jakarta where I might have to stay for almost a month for the Ministry of Industry of Indonesia and the BRR (a special government agency for the Post Tsunami reconstruction in Aceh). I succeeded in postponing Palestine in June but the vacuum was immediately taken by Indonesia. Then I still have unfinished jobs with Asian Development Bank that I have to finish….Grabe!

Hi Alot,
Kumusta na. Siguro rested ka na after that trip to Daet for the reunion. At least, by looking at the pictures, you had a grand time there. By the way, I have not thanked you and the rest for taking time out just so to meet me in Greenbelt. That mini reunion is one major activity that highlighted my 2006 visit to Manila.
According to Toti, you are ready to skype with us since you have a microphone and a webcam already. Just go to www.skype.com and download it and follow the instruction. Soon, you will be talking to all of us here. Do you open your e-mail regularly? Kasi bihira akong makakita ng messages from you.
Sana dalas dalasan mo din tulad namin nina Men, Ed, Toti, Bert, Irma,Rudy, Marybeth, Fetchie, Rori. Hindi lang ito patungkol saiyo, pati doon sa may e-mail naman tinatamad lang. OK, sa susunod ulit. Baka lalo kang tamarin paghinabaan ko pa itong e-mail ko. Regards to you and your family.
Danny
Sige na Alot, install Skype and use your less-used gadgets around…It is really nice… Hugsssssss

Hi danny.
ito mabuti naman. you are wrong, i'm not yet rested kasi from daet i got another trip this time to baguio. i have a balikbayan cousin and she told us that it's been almost 30 years na daw siyang hinde nakakarating sa baguio so we accompanied her. just came back last night. di ba you also went there the last tme you were here. ma-traffic at polluted na ano? maiinit din di ba?
It should be us who's supposed to thank you for the sumptous lunch. thanks again and kailan ba mauulit yon?
Sayang nga eh kasi na miss namin kayong mga wala doon. we really had a grand time reminiscing. And I realized na pag may edad na nawawala na ang mga inhibition. Puede mo sabihin ang mga sekreto mo noon. Nagkabukuhan na nga ng mga crushes. para ba ang feeling mo ay 16 years old. even marynat may sekreto (marynat huwag kang magagalit hinde naman kita bubukuhin kong sino siya).
danny, sorry medyo tamad ako.may be one of these days pag sinipag na ako i will join your skype group. yong mga anak ang masipag. kaya meron kaming webcam at microphone kasi ang girlfriend noong isa kong anak na sa abroad.
o ayan bawi na ako mahaba na ang email ko.
regards to you and your love ones. take care

Hello Alot,
It's early Sunday here in Orlando. Every morning the first thing I do before coffee is check if there are e-mail messages from our egroup. I'm happy that you have decided to be active on this egroup we have. Don't worry, kahit hindi mahaba ang message, ok na, basta we maintain the communication open. 40 years without hearing from one another should not happen again. Hindi na maganda ang Baguio ano? We were supposed to stay 2 nights there, but we decided to go back to Manila just after 1 night. Mas mahaba pa ata ang biyahe mula Baguio to Manila kesa Daet to Manila. Sobra ang traffic sa Pangasina ano? I'm glad you had a grand time during the reunion. Iyon nga sa Makati, kahit iilan lang tayo masaya sa pakiramdam, iyon pang marami. Anyway, I'll make sure that on the next reunion, I will be attending, no ifs and buts. Again, I'm happy that we are again in communication. Regards to you and your family and take care always. Keep those messages coming.

Hi Alot,
This is getting to be more fun than I thought. Like you, tamad ako when it comes to correspondence kaya friendship and relations get lost. So this is much easier. Don't you agree? Like Danny says, kahit maiksi lang, as long as we hear from each other, OK na.
Anyway, I read Toti's email about Fetchie's brother and feel terrible that her trip had to end with tragedy. In some ways, it's good that she can be there with the family at this time. My heart goes out for them.
You should not bother sending anything. It's more than enough that we could all keep in touch and see each other through this group email. Pero, hindi ko tatangihan ang pili clusters.
I have to tell you that in the pictures, I was impressed the most by Tessie. She is a late bloomer and has indeed come out of her nutshell with a bang! I'm happy for her. Lina Angeles looks great. She told me on the phone that she has gained weight, but I don't see that in the pictures. I feel terrible, but I can't seem to remember two of the ladies in the picture. Maybe,in the VCD, you all have introduced yourselves. The guys are easy, they all have not changed much. I can't wait to see the rest.
By the way, my husband surprised me yesterday by handing me the phone with MaryNat on the other end. We had a long talk and it would have gone on longer if they were not in the middle of moving to another house. She sounded happy and fulfilled... and to have two sets of twins, that to me is an accomplishment by itself!
Well, this has gone too long, I better reserve some for next time.
Love,hugs and misses,
Marybeth
Men,
Ok na ba Men o ayan nagparamdam na ako ha. Thank you for you kind words. I really want you guys to taste my special pili cluster. Side line ko yan (by order) pero pag kayo libre. Yesterday, I kept on laughing and laughing reading your and Tess emails. It's good that its lunch break kundi baka sabihin ng boss ko nababaliw na ako. Tama ka isa sa mahinhin si Tess (ay mali ata Tess may mahinhin bang ng balisong kay Boy Rios, joke only baka hinde mo na ako pasabayin) Miss you my friend. Any plan of coming home much earlier than our reunion. Regards and take care.
Hugs and kisses.
Alot
Tess,
Sige pag ng harvest ka na after 2 years o-order na ako sa iyo ng pili. Sabi ko sa iyo masarap.
Regards & take care.
