An Mga Mauurag




















































Thanks to Ed for posting some pictures and uploading a video of the get together in Manila in the You Tube .

I'm now posting a few of the hundreds of pictures taken by the Official "Kodaker" Willy Bautista. Thanks for the beautiful pictures Willy. I'll resize all of them and upload them, hopefully tonight in our photo gallery. Ed, Willy left the USB containing all the pictures to me. Next time we meet, I'll bring it so you'll get the complete set.

I hope the others, too, who took pictures will upload their pix in the photo gallery so we can have the full collection of Reunion pictures. Paging Men, Ningning, Marynat, etc.

My sincere apologies to our classmates, especially the balikbayan classmates who travelled far just to attend this reunion. I really am embarrassed for my failure to attend the Reunion. I really never thought that I would be absent. I was one hundred percent sure of coming ..... until the day of the event. Again, I'd like to quote Marybeth - "Nakakasida talaga sa barkada ining trabaho." I really couldn't leave because of the write up we were finishing.

Talk about right timing, after submitting the report today, I don't have much work. We will wait for the comments of the agency then hold Consultations on march 7. It would be after that date when I would be busy again to meet the next deadline on March 15. Tinapat lang talaga itong reunion!

To the balikbayans, HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY TRIP. I hope you all enjoyed your stay. Again my apologies. Sa Susunod ulit na paghirilingan, MGA URAGON PA DIN KITA!
Toti

By the way, I already relayed the news to Mendy and Boboy that Rudy was able to catch the despedida tendered by Baby and Caloy for the balikbayans. Mendy already knew about it though. Marybeth called her up, earlier.

F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby Is Published (1925)

Considered to be Fitzgerald's masterpiece, The Great Gatsby is a devastating critique of the American Dream and materialism at the height of the Roaring Twenties. It is the story of a bootlegger, Jay Gatsby, whose obsessive dream of wealth and lost love is destroyed by a corrupt reality. Today used as required reading in many high schools, the book has been cited as the paragon of the Great American Novel. Why did Fitzgerald dislike the title, and what did he want to call his novel?

Hugo Grotius (1583)

Grotius was a Dutch jurist, philosopher, and writer. He enrolled at the University of Leiden at the age of 11 and became a lawyer at 15. Among his key legal treatises is the first definitive text on international law, On the Law of War and Peace, which prescribes rules for the conduct of war and advances the idea that nations are bound by natural law. In 1615, he became involved in a religious controversy that extended to politics and was eventually imprisoned. How did he escape? More... Discuss
