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?

Gerald Paolo's Baptism

Gerald with tatay Gabby and Mommy

















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















medyo malamig yata tubig, nagreklamo si Gerald :-)
















Ate and Kuya
















With the Ninongs outside Max's resto in Galleria Robinson

OLPS GULP San Miguel Beer Plaza at the Rompeolas (Pier) in Sorsogon City on June 24, 2005. Bumaha ng Beer, humakot ng pagkadami-daming pera ang OLPS Alumni Foundation, Incorporated [OLPSAFI]. Kudos to the Beer Plaza Committee chaired by SORECO General Manager Joey Cubias (Batch 80). Hey, Mr. OLPSAFI President, Atty. Alwyn Talde (Batch 83), wara na contribution sa homecoming ha!

The Sacraments Band, one of two bands featured in the Beer Plaza. Their covers of popular rock songs are as good as the original versions, if not better. 

The Lagamayo kids, from left: Gillian (6), Gerald (will be baptized on the 3rd), and Gio (3).

2005 NBA Championship poll

Sin-o mag 2005 nba champions?
Pistons
Spurs
Current results

Happy Birthday, pards. Even if you're a year younger than most of us, a lot of people now address you with "Tio" before your name. [This is Eric's best shot from my collection. But this is so "UN-ERIC". It's tough to bring oneself to believe that Eric after all these years still takes communion. Eric in the State of Grace? What is the world coming to? Bwahahahahahaha!]

Happy Bday Eric!

diin an karaon ta?

btw, natuloy ka ba sa nursing school? anyways good luck and have fun!

fiesta sa gubat

collins and i arrived at junie's place around 8 pm. msgr. pax, fr. gerry, dante, dave and henri greeted us with their eyes and mouths ready to jump the gun as they studied the bountiful table. nakaparilibut na sa lamesa. fiestahununon!! i didn't remember us praying before eating!! hehehe. and would you believe it! henri cooked one of the viands ( pangfiesta an culinary talent ni baka ). ang walang kamatayang adobadong kulambutan. masiramununon. the trouble was, he cooked it so hot unaware that junie's father hate spicy foods. hehehe. naalo si henri when he learned about it.

after the delectable dinner, we all huddled around junie's computer and feasted on our blog home, making fun of the old pictures. we also marvelled over linuz' pictures. someone suggested to msgr. mons and fr. gerry that they put up a blog site for each of their batch too. they dismissed the idea with all of us laughing. imagine a site raining with black and white pictures!! hehehe!! may colored pix naman kuno san panahon ninda according to fr. gerry. i doubt it. hahahaha. later in the night mgsr. mons and fr. gerry had to go. the rest of us stayed and zealously attacked the table again to our tummies content( thanks a lot junie and to your family).

after a short chat with jet on line, we drove to rizal beach and parked ourselves on the shore. There again we shared undying seminary anecdotes and also horror stories over some shots of brandy and champagne. we left the place around 3am heavy once more with rekindled brotherhood and memories. and i can't help but look forward to july 3, gabby's son's baptism.

June 12, 2005. Eve of the Feast of our Patron Saint, Anthony of Padua. Around 8 pm, we gathered around the table. Nagpatuklingan si Mons (partly hidden from view by my mother's head) and Fr. Gerry on who'd say the "Grace before Meals." Guess who won out. By the way, Fr. Gerry just got back from a five-day vacation in Cebu where he stayed at Tyrone's mansion. According to him, Tyrone regularly visits the blogspot site.

After eating, we milled around the computer for the obligatory tour of our blogspot home. With Fr. Gerry around to make the comments, the tour proved to be a riot.
 

Around 11 pm, two hours after Mons and Fr. Gerry had left, we proceeded to Rizal Beach for the marathon 'bonding' session. We started with the usual reunion fare-seminary recollections. But as the night deepened, the stories took a different turn-towards the supernatural beings-with each one sharing his personal brush with a white lady, an 'asuwang', or a 'patianak.' We headed home around 2:30 am.
