Here are the Pictures!

Here are the pictures of El Kapitan Rudy’s birthday celebration held on Saturday, May 31 at the Hard Rock Café in Glorietta 3, Level 3. El Kapitan marked his t-eighth birthday, not exactly 48^th as he initially claimed. But as Ed described him and as seconded by Men, he has aged “elegantly” whatever that means…. (aram naman nindo si Ed, marhay na mambo…. Ay dai palan, marhay na mag-English. Aren’t they Ed? Joke-joke-joke.)

Among the party people (RAK-RAKAN na!) were of course, Ineng, La Kapitana herself, Alot, Lina (na pan-tulong bisitang nag-abot! Talagang pinapanindugan na niya na bako na siyang si The Late Lina!), Marynat, Tess and her unica anak, and Dr. Ebu (Ibu, Ebot, Ebo….. basta si Manuel Lukban, na regular na sa mga sosyalan kan klase). Absent were Ed, nag-e-study group meeting para sa iyang Ph D (magiging apat na an Dr. sa tuya), Rori na na-enot ng ipa-schedule an pagpabolnot nin ngipon (marhay ako ta uban sana an pinabolnot ) and Baby na may lakaw daa (pero sigurado ako malunad man ito). Na-miss mi ulit sina Bert and Marie (maski pa yaon sa Pinas sina Danny and Marie Osmonds). They must still be in the process of settling down in the US kaya mayo pang paramdam si Bert sa email. Okay lang Bert, we understand. Dai mo lang pa-aboton an ..Ber months na dai man lang mag-contact ta very another ka na kaiyan.

I’m not a very good story teller kaya dai ko maikwento gabos, basta enjoy na enjoy kami kan lunch time na ito. Siyempre reminiscing ulit kan high school days, mula sa panliligaw ni Rudy kan Grade Four kan enot siyang mabasted, sumunod kan third year kan mabasted siya kay Susan Po (bako man si Susan Roces Poe), and finally kan fourth year…. Yes, Success! pero secret na maray, mala ta mayong naka-aram apwera kay Rey Rafer and Beth Perez.

After 42 years, nasabi na ni Lina na suyado palan siya kay Marynat ta dai siya pinakopya sa exam. Sarung item lang ang hinahapot niya, hiniling lang daa siya ni Ate Marynat tapos tinakpan lalo si papel! Siyempre man, pinaghidapan mag-adal, tapos kokopyahan lang! Ngonyan, friends na sinda. Kun kaidto sabi ngani ni Felino, seryoso, dai nagngingirit saka suplada si Ate Marynat, ngonyan kalog na. Saka mahilig maglaag-lipistik maski nasa lamesa. May crush palan kan high school si Ate marynat, an POGI!

Rudy and Ineng are leaving today. Mapulot-gata sinda sa Bohol. Magayon duman….. chocolate hills, loboc river, panglao….. Marhay na lang ta nagpa-family planning si mag-agom, kaya dai na madadagdagan si tulong aki ninda.

I’m posting only eight pictures in addition to last night’s four. The full set of 29 pictures can be found at the Photo Gallery, linked to this blogsite. Just look for it on the right hand side of this blog, and click. Mapagal man baga Ate Marynat na mag-post pa-saro-saro, samantalang kung mabisita ka sa blogsite, madali mong mahihiling si gabos. Kaya dai ka na paghugakan. Patukdo sa aki na ilaag sa favorites kan browser mo ang URL kan blogsite para sarong click ka lang.
