These gals have been my friends for 10
YEARS now (Wow!!!), since when we were all in high school
at St. Paul College of Paranaque. Now most of us have jobs
and are busy. Cristy is now at Vancouver, Didith is an Account
Executive, Ghen is an Electronics and Communications Engineer
at Smart Communications, Joyce is a Chemical Engineer (like
me)at Amkor Anam P2, Beng is an Ad & Promo Specialist
in Philippine Airlines, Ella is an Ad & Promo Specialist
at Universal Motors Corporation, Lotty just graduated from
UP Diliman, Ana is taking up Medicine in UERM and Vanjee is
a Technical support specialist in a company in Texas, US.
Despite our very occupied schedule, we still manage to keep
in touch with each other from time to time to update each
other, and basically to have fun.
Weirdos
and Flor threw me a shower party last December 26. That was
also our post christmas party. Bheng, Lotty, Ghen, Ella and
Flor were all there. Bheng & Ghen were my secondary sponsors.
Lotty was one of my bridesmaids. Flor was my maid of honor
and Elle was my fantastic host during the reception. She really
poured her heart out in making a very very good script. Everybody
loved her for it, she just made my wedding much more special.
Thanks elle, thanks ghen, bheng, lotty and flor. Love you
girls!!! :-) My wedding would have been much more special
if Vanj, Ana and Cristy could have been there. But that is
just fine, in spirit they were all there, wishing me well
:-)
I
have been to Manila last Sept 29 to October 7. We had that
1 week off from work to fix a lot of things there. Of course,
i met up with the Weirdos. The assembly time was at 7, at
starbucks ATC. As usual, everyone's late except me!!!! Then
we proceeded to dencio's for dinner. Bheng made sure she followed
even if she just arrived from Sydney that night. Ella was
late but she was able to make it. Lotty was there too. Her
bf Noni was very friendly. Ghen was the earliest with husband
Mark. I am glad Jun made it too to represent cristy. It was
so much fun! We were so noisy but, for all we care! heheheheheh.
Later on, we proceeded to a videoke bar to scream our lungs
out....of course, the night wont end without pictures being
taken. Once i have it developed, im gonna scan it and post
those pics here in my website, so watch out for it :-)
Before
i left Manila, it was only Lotty, Cristy, Ella, Ghen and myself
who have seen each other often. We really found time to meet
up after office hours just to sit and talk about anything
under the sun, or should i say, under the moon? :-)
Paulinians1992
now already have a mailing list and the website is under construction.
It is surprising that the group have increasing new members
daily. I never thought I would be able to get to communicate
with my classmates in highschool and even in gradeschool again....I
dunno how it all started. I just know that im enjoying it
a lot, i am always looking forward to getting emails from
the entire group. Once the homepage is up, ill link it to
mine so you guys can also view it :-) Paulinians 1992, the
best batch of seniors ever!!!
We spent Christmas 1997 at Ghen's place, which was a potluck
party. Afterwards, we had a blast singing our lungs out at
a videoke place, and later we had some drinks at the very
cool Galo's (we were literally freezing, the night breeze
was very cold). Ella got drunk, and we all had a great time,
although Ghen's driving leaves much to be desired (hi Ghen!).
Christmas
1998 (still a potluck party)was spent at Cristy's place(our
usual hang out). Later on, we went to Slim Jim's at Fort then
to Conservatory at Peninsula Manila. We really enjoyed so
much and we were laughing our stomachs out till dawn. I hope
we have as much fun next time.
Holidays
1999 was celebrated at Cristy's place (i told you, this is
our fave hangout). It was very simple but we had a great time.
Vangie went home from Texas, USA and joined us. Ana was there
too . Ella and Ghen were not able to make it. They promised
to see us one of these days though. We ended the party by
exchanging of gifts, got a very beautiful angel from Lotty
and a cute Southpark pillow from Cristy :-) This Christmas
party is really very different from the parties we had before,
but it's one of the happiest. Considering, we still have each
other for friends is one of the greatest blessings God has
given me :-)
Christmas
2000 was a very memorable time for me. It was my last x'mas
before i went here in Malaysia. Of course, there will always
be a day for Weirdos alone. We went to ATC then had drinks
at Dencio's grill in Alabang.
Guys,
thanks for making me feel that i am special, for loving me
despite my tantrums and mood swings (hehehehe!). I really
miss all of you and i'll do my best to spend the next holidays
back home to be with all of you. I just can't imagine myself
not being with all of you on christmas.... (sigh! i hope my
boss would allow me to go home)
Every moment spent with them is full of laughter and mayhem,
and we don't hesitate to show our true selves even when we
go out together accompanied by our boyfriends who really get
along so well too (do they have a choice? hehehehehe)
Ghen
got married early 1999, i was the bridesmaid and cristy was
the maid of honor. You know what, Ghen already has a cutie
baby girl. Her name is Mary Gabrielle, she looks exactly like
Mark (hay, dunno kung malas or lucky yung baby eh! peace mark!!!!)
We
went to Dampa, Paranaque last march 18, 2000. Lotty and Ella
(again? hay!!!) were not able to make it.It was a night of
full chatting and laughing :-) I temporarily forgot about
my diet. We went home super busog and almost cannot walk back
to the parking lot.
The
group slept over here at my place last april 8, 2000. we had
some drinks and a heart to heart talk. We enjoyed so much
and we're super puyat.....but it was fun. Hope we could spend
time with each other like that again soon.
Got
the job in DLSU as college instructor just yesterday (May
23, 2000). My friends Lotty, Cryst, Cristy, Philip, Michael
and Ella (it's a miracle, ella made it, she was'nt even late
and got there ahead of us, hehehehe) had dinner, had some
drinks & played billiards. Got home late, good thing cryst
brought us home. bait mo cryst! hehehehehe. It was fun to
be with them, as always!!!

Ana, I hope that you can find time to communicate with me.
I really hope to hear from you soon. Goodluck Dr. Ana!!!
