TIA BETTY, College Seminary Cook

TIA BETTY, a part of many a Coke seminarian's life

Tia Betty hasn't changed a bit. If you bump into her, you'd still see the same old jolly person that you'd known years ago. Talk to her, and you'd still hear the familiar hearty laugh that she lets out, even at the most unfunny remark that you make.

She's now with Msgr. Monje at the Our Lady of Fatima Parish in Sorsogon City. [picture taken at Fatima's Kitchen]

By the way, anyone who still remembers the names of her twin granddaughters who worked part-time at the College Seminary?

MORE PICTURES FROM JULY 3 BAPTISM

It's more than a week now after the baptism, but i can't pass up the chance of publishing these very interesting pictures.







BEFORE

(around 4 pm of July 3, 2005 at Max's Restaurant, 4th Floor, Robinson's Galeria)

AFTER
(around 2 am of July 4, 2005 beside the swimming pool at the Greenhills Garden Square)

Why would this religious structure evoke in one of the ninongs the image of the female anatomy? Is it true that years after leaving the seminary, we never really lose the "seminarian" in us? or, do we owe it to our priest-formators? ha ha ha ha ha

The last shot before leaving (around 3:30 am of July 4, 2005) Greenhills Garden Square. Hope that the next time we visit we'll catch glimpses of Vanessa del Bianco, Ruffa Mae Quinto and Ethel Booba who share the same address as Kit.

Happy Bday Collins!

padi! diin an irinuman ta?

bonsai in da condo, a splashy fish and a rainbow

After the reception at Max's we went straight to Kit's house. hehehe we took up his previous offer of "drink, drink, drink by the pool" :-)

medyo exciting mga kwentuhan and we probably woke up some people with our boisterous laughter (and probably annoyed the guards no end). as the night wore on -and eventually inumaga na-- Eric who became very friendly with mr. fundador demonstrated a bit of what we missed during the March reunion. junie may post some very interesting pics of goja.















kit shows us his bonsai collection






























By the pool. sumunod pala si Wiron sa bahay ni kit, he wasnt able to come to the baptism coz he had to meet a client

















kamagwapo nanggayud ano?

Ninong Eric and Junie. Ninong Kit also made it to the baptism (he actually looked more "priestly" than the priest). Ninong Jet took this pic. Ninong Jason got caught in some traffic and didnt make it to the baptism. humabol na lang siya sa reception
