Subject: Hi Malou!!!
Dearest Malou,
We hope that all is well with you, magic Mike, Raymond, the two
girls and hubbies and most important of all, your grandbaby!!!
Thank you for your call the wekend before last. It was so nice
to hear from you right after Las Vegas. Why was
Mike so subdued that night of dancing and singing? We missed
his tuneful voice. We definitely needed more days together to do some
catching up. I am very much looking forward to our next get together but I
might not be able to make it. Ali wanted us to visit Turkey towards the end of
summer. I feel bad that I am not able to invite you and Elda to come with us to Turkey because Ali's
family is still mourning. We can plan on visiting Greece and Turkey within the next 24
months. That sounds like a lifetime but it is something that we can look
forward to and plan for.
Many thanks for your hard work on our Las Vegas enterprise! It
was a smashing success which could not have happened
without the concerted effort and collaboration of JR, Bal, Lolobob,
Lolabee, Red, Linda A, Rolly, Edith, Elda, Andy, Malou,
Beth, Demy, Mel and Chris. I apologize if I inadvertently missed anyone.
Ding and your lovely wife, thank you for coming to this
memorable event! Thank you for graciously giving
us a lift back to our hotel. We hope to see both of you in all of our
future "class '67 adventures".
Vicki Dairo Aguillon and husband,
we really enjoyed your company. Vicki, where were you in Quezon High? We should
have been best friends. Vickie Jaca and you have a lot of things in common.
You're both Victorias married to Virgils
and born on April 12. Vicki Jaca is one of my best friends and you and I both
like JR very much!
JR, thank you for your call today! Please give our best to
Ineng.
Hi Norman! We're very happy that you got that job. I think we
all missed out in high school...but what we have now is something that we could
all cherish.
Take care y'all. >>> God Bless. >>> Belen Latag

Dearest Lolabee,
Kumusta ka na? Hope you and Bob are
both in good health. Napagutusan lang ako nang aking
butihing maybahay na pakitanong mo naman daw kay Bob kung natanggap na niya
yoong pagkakahabahabang minutes noong meeting ninyo. Take care and thank you,

Sorry, medyo delayed ito dahil marami ang labada, natambakan

tinanggal mga papel, isa na dito yoong minutes nang
meeting, kasi problema pa ito pag kumalat. Iisa-isahin ko
pa nang lint remover habang pina-plantsa at tini-tiklop yoong mga puede namang
hindi na plantsahin.
Just to let you know that that weekend was the best that I
had since we moved here sa States. In behalf of all
the sabits, thank you so much,67eers for allowing us
to be a part of this memorable experience.
Allow me to tip my hat off to the ff: for Bal
who came up with that novelty, yoong inyong hour of revelation. Ang saya kahit na merong mga bulaan.
Si Rolly na ginising ang aking mga
dancing feet. Buti na lang hindi sumumpong ang aking
gout. Kargado kasi nang glucosamine chondroitin. 5,000
milligrams a day, say mo.
Tapos si Linda Maguyon na sumingit
at binuhay ang aking baywang. Sobrang kembot kaya lower back pain ang inabot ko.
Si Bob na kahit na seryoso ay
pinasaya tayo sa kanyang game. Mahirap nga palang lumakad na
iisa ang sapatos. Tagilid. Naalala ko
tuloy si Hudas at kung bakit siya tagilid lumakad. At doon
sa mga madadaya, magka-alipunga sana sa sakong.
And of course, the one and only Junior. This event won't have that amount
of fireworks kung wala ka. Your dedication at
pagmamahal sa 'yong mga alipores made all these
possible. You're the man!! Bruha! Napakasaya
ko nang makita ang mga mukhang huling nasilayan
tatlong dekada na ang nakaraan.
Ang kambal na sina Upak at
Balasubas. Walang pinagbago. Parang noong isang araw ko lang huling nakita. Maliban kay Redentor na may pony tail. Front daw pala yon para hindi
mabuking na officer nang Takuza.
Si Andy na walang kupas. Matikas ang tindig, magandang lalaki at pakurap-kurap pa rin.
Si Norman na normal at dati pa rin
except for his obvious new- found relationship with the Lord. For a while I was
worried na baka magi siyang KJ, kasi meron akong mga
nakilalang bible-packing evangelists, kuno na sobrang holier tha thou kung
maka-asta at grabe pa sa huwes kung manghusga. But, praise the Lord, ikaw pa
rin ang dating Norman tatlong dekada ang nakaraan. Naka-connect ka pa rin sa mga kamunduhan ni Zosimo altho' nakita ko na umusal ka
nang panalangin para maligtas siya.
How I wished na sana nakarating din sila Boy Labay,
Danny Afable, Lito Babiera, si Abong at Emil. Sana kung
matutuloy ang Oklahoma makarating si Emil para mare-live
yoong mga harana nights at maharana itong mga kababaihan natin. Naalala ko kung paano tayo mangharana noon, parang nagkakaroling, bahay-bahay,
dayo sa mga baryo, tawid pilapil.
Meron din bang bukid diyan sa Oklahoma, Elda? Yoong merong
pilapil at pugo? So see you again
soon, mga katoto.
Thank you for the memories.

CLASS 67 Vegas Reunion Posted On Website: www.quezonhigh.ca
Our dearest Bal,
I am very sorry guys for not emailing sooner... just too busy!
Bal, thank you very much for spearheading our
"Las Vegas blast". You were
truly wonderful! What a talent!!! We all had a a great
time... the friendship, the togetherness is unreal. Thank you for
the talent, your heart, the photos, and the memories! My sister Nimfa says
hi. Thank you for the Toronto souvenir program.
We enjoyed it thoroughly.
Linda, thank you very much for your ( and Boy's) hard work in
coordinating with the group in getting the dance place and in making sure that
we have all the right tools to make the right music for everyone to dance to
and to sing with. Thank you for being the doctor for everyone that got
sick. We were very joyful watching you danced the night away!
Is Boy traveling with you to the Phils? Bon Voyage! God Bless.
JR, thank you for being you. We love you for your
enthusiasm in life. We love how you care for all of us,
we love your singing talent and your unflagging effort to encourage everyone to
get involve with our group. Ate Perry and I really enjoyed our
leisurely walk with you and Pogi at the "desert promenade" that last
night in Alladin. I could not remember having such an unrestrained laugh
in all my life... such a much needed break for me... Lastly, thank you for
being such a good sport! Imagine, 5 of us!!! On the
lighter note, have you thought of being a stand up comedian? You
are such a talent! By the way, Vicky Jaca Pablo's email address is priuscomet@msn.com, her cell number is
619-410-5242 and her home phone is 619-267-6026. Louie Marquez Eclavea 's email address is luisitaeclavea@yahoo.com .
Lolobob and Lolabee, thank you for your persistent effort
in making sure that our togetherness does not stop even after our get
togethers. Thank you for being there for us all the time. You two are our rock.
Thank you for the endless emails. The two of you better take care of
your bodies because our group needs you guys. By the way, are you
both feeling much better and healthier these days! Please take care of
yourselves. We love you guys.
Rolly and Edith, wow wowie! What an incredible dancers! Thank
you for a great night of dancing! When I grow up, I want to be like you
guys. Rollie you look great! Being married to Edith becomes you. I really
enjoyed seeing you again, even if I was just sleep walking when we were in high
school.
Hi Norman! We are very proud of you. I really did not know much
about anyone except for my small group of friends when we were in high school
so I was very touched of what you become. I am very happy that you found
Him and now you are touching a lot of people. Have you already
found a job? We hope that you already did and if not, keep on keeping
on.
Please do call me. Georgia might be good for
you. People here are more friendly than in California (except of course our
friends!).
Hello Lina! I was ecstatic to see you again! I cannot believe
that you are married to our neighbor Willie Ornedo. What a small world! I never
remember ever speaking to Willie when we were growing up, but his brother
Boy Ornedo was my brother's best friend. Boy was my brother's best
man when my brother Cesar got married. We are very happy that you are very
happily married to a great guy! When do we see you again?
Hi Badette, Girlie, Annabell and your better halves!!! Cheers
Rose! We were all delighted that you made it to this get together! To my regret., I did not really have time to socialize
with you. We have such a time constraint! I wished that we have more time.
Anyway, we'll see each other again soon... God Bless y'all.
Hello Red, Ynda, Rem and Gene! Thank you for being with us in Hawaii and in Las Vegas. I really
enjoyed your company and your friendship. What a great dancer you are
Ynda! Thank you Red for being involved! I am looking forward to more
get togethers with all of you in the future.
Greetings Carmen and Nini! Thank you for having us share your hotel room in Alladin. Ate Perry and I enjoyed
your company. Carmen, thank you for your great company when we explored Eiffel Tower in Paris (despite my fear of
heights!), Bellagio and Ceasar's
Palace!I really relished our pedicab ride across the desert of Alladin.
Vickie, nice seeing you again afer 12
years! Thank you for the suman and the empanada. Everyone
enjoyed your treats! My mom enjoyed the suman of course. Good
fortune with your new business ventures! Please say hi to Virgil,
Jackie and Alex. Hope to see you soon...
Elda my dear, I am very
sorry that I was not able to spend quality time with you in Las Vegas. Our time was very
limited. Thank you for the T-shirts. That was lot for you to haul! How long did
you stay in Vegas? Please say hi Tom. How is Irwin? Are we really planning
a get together in Oklahoma before our Phils
40th? I would love that but time is such an issue. Ali, Faith-Anne and I are
planning to visit Ali's family in Turkey towards the end of
summer. He needs to attend to some family matters after his mom passed away early this year. This is not a pleasure trip.
Anyway, please let us know whatever the plan is. Luv
yah!
Hi Beth and Apol! Beth, you have not changed physically! Inside,
you become a more beautiful person! It is really a pleasure seeing you
again after 39 years.
Andy & Aisel, thank you very much for the Hawaiin treat! Did
you know that macadamia is my most favorite nut? When we go to the mall
here in Georgia, we always visit the Savannah Sweets so I could treat myself to
this huge pieces of macadamia nuts embedded in caramel. My daughter Faith-Anne
is happy that we are not able to go to the mall that often or else my
cholesterol and triglycerides would be up to the sky. Aisel
thank you for the beautiful Flowers of Hawaii bracelet. I am really
enjoying it. When is my sister's ready?
Last but not the least, thank you Demy,
Mel and Chris for your hospitality. We are most grateful to you for
opening your home to us and of course, the ride was invaluable.
Johnny O and Gary A, we're are all
praying for you. Have faith and God Bless.
Good morning all! Take care. Live life like everyday is a gift
and a blessing.
Fondly, Belen

Subject: Re: [qphsclass67]
hello, hello....
Before I
response to all suggestions/opinions.. let us greet first our 2 Victorias belated birthday... Vicky Dairo Aguillon and
Victoria Jaca Pablo celebrated their b-day last April 12... They something in
common.. their husbands
name are both Virgilio and the nickname are both VER..only
in Class 67.. to both of you... Belated HAppy Birthday
and many more 2 come...
Now regarding getting together again.. tha's a good idea.. the bad thing
is.. "we have our big one coming Feb2007.... so
before that will be more money in our pocket.. which
Rollie is quite correct.. "unless".. you're not going to participate on big event coming".. New York is a good place to to go... expensive.. but a good place.. whoever and whenever you're coming to NY.. you could ring us and there is no problem.. as long as we have vacation time remaining.. you will be accomodated.. and
that's a promise from me.. I just don't know RED and MARYLOU...And speaking of
the 3 of us.. we will meet
again coming May 5 to go to Raymundo "BOY" Tagle' wife's 50th
b-day... so we're together again..
After the big one.. we could
do it once a year... Rollie's reasons are quite true... magkasawaan.. that's a possibility.. IF it's
too often...we luv each other... but ..let's make it
suspenseful.. okay ba??? Talked to Elda last night about the possibility by Sept.. she has no problem dahil
tega-roon siya.. pero I think it will be better after
Feb2007...
I know how to laba!!! it;s very easy here in abroad compare to Lucena na
sometimes you go to "ilog" if you have plenty of laundry.. I knoe
Apple will find the minutes of the meeting dahil he inspect if first before
ilagay sa washing machine... Minutes of the meeting
coming soon to BOB..
At this time.. for sure
Chairman Bob and LOLABEE touched down already in Sydney Australia.. so here we are.. back to being
Aussies.. say hello to Ric and Araceli Alviar of Sydney.. diyan kayo mag-get
together.. kami ni RED and MARYLOU.. wala kaming problema dahil we call each other.. we have our cell phone and since Saturday and after PM is
free.. we could talk to each other.. USA wise.. I could call Canada
anytime I want dahil my plan at home is unlimited....I could Phils too if I
want dahil I have phone card.. I'm planning to call the crush of Remiel.. donya Luning before Apr 29.. the Lucena meeting... and get some news.. so
we will know what's going on...
To all who attended the BLAST67.. thanks
for being so alive and wonderful.. I will learn how to dance now same with Ineng(my wife) so hindi kami mahuli sa around the world ni
Professor Rollie.. I will be arriving in Toronto June 9 (that is Friday) so if you have time.. I will give u my hotel #.. dahil the last time I used my cell phone .. I've got killed in roaming fee.. I will try to be wised this time.. if I could...We will be staying
at the Sheraton in downtown Toronto.. I will give u a call..
To all.. have a good time
everytime.. just do it.. life
is short.. if I don't answer to your messages (yon ay
yong mga may sagot agad sa sender).. hindi ko style
yon.. but i do appreciate the messages and follow if I
could... thanks to all... luv u all..
Sorry dahil napahaba yata ito eh!!!!!

preposterous to have us host the reunion and then hear me tell you that i have to be at work

Subject: Thanks to all 67ers
What stood out in Las Vegas 67 reunion was the awareness for sharing and caring that I
observed among classmates. Pastor Norman Bisagas'
spiritual messages were very fulfilling and so with the lessons in life all the 21 expressed during the round table. Nawala ang pagod
ko when I saw you guys danced the night away with Zorba the Greek, batchata, cumbia
and Achy Brachy Heart's two version.
Thanks everyone for giving me the opportunity to
join you and be part of this important milestone. We should continue to pray for Johnny
Obcemane and that the Gawad Kalinga cause you are spearheading gain support. Answering the cry of the Poor-ANCOP's GK is
one way to make a difference in the life of so many homeless Filipinos.
Right Red ?
Thanks to Demi and Mely Maano, class 70, for hosting
the Friday night karaoke at their home and your warm hospitality during my stay, Cris Cruz for another round of karaoke and
the drive to the Lake Las Vegas resorts, Rob and Emma Ramos for our Bellagio stay- I felt like
Ricky Martin being pampered in that $2,500 room- kailan pa mauulit ito-, to Soen and Nini
Llave for our comfortable sleep and hi-jacking your TV and microwave oven to Dance
Fitness and Sports. May nasira ba?
There's a lot of you guys I haven't met before, being a 68er and proud that you consider
me now your adopted brod- Girlie, Beth, Annabelle,
Belen, Ding, the Salvacions, etc etc. I win so many friends in such a short time.
Thanks to Linda Gatdula Abcede for your efforts in choosing the dance hall, the
wooden floor and piped-in music, the size of the hall were perfect for the 60 crowd we had. Lolabee and
Bob, you "raised me up so I could cross the mountains" as we surveyed
Excalibur, Wynn, Aladdin and Decay- tour, hindi Dikatur. I had to befriend the Cuban lady manager of
Excalibur Round Table buffet to get the private space we had. Malou and Mike, thanks
so much for Folies Bergere, I still gasp in awe on the amazing choreography.
Andy- you are such a good singer, nakapagbaon
ka ba ng Pinagong? Junior, you added more color to the party, your humor was the icing on the cake, Rolly and Edith for
being so supportive, Linda Maguyon Resuma for leading our second achy brachy dance sequence,
Elda for your treats, Nini for letting me dance with Princess, gee she's got her mom's
terpsichorean skills, this girl can dance, Lina for
showing me how to Sway, sino pa nga ba, heto ang problema pag nalimutan.
The 67 reunion was complete. There were
moments we reminisced 67 as we played DC Five's Because, Bus Stop by the Hollies, Do the Freddie, our line dances, the limbo
rock, the Conga, (I got a good shot of Andy standing in the chair) while we danced in circles, Feelin'
Hot Hot Hot.. Rolly
Vallena's leading us to the World Tour of Dances is proof that class 67 is a bunch of good dancers and singers when unplugged.
Pati pala si Pastor Norman ay magaling sumasayaw so with Linda G. Linda GExit
Michael Buble. Applause for Zosimo with a Zee.
Now Oklahoma. Paki- imbita ninyo naman ako sa Oklahoma. With AL Palomar and Elda
hosting- everythin's going my way, so goes the Oklahoma song. Since I saw Rodgers &
Hammersteins' OKLAHOMA in Montreal, I yearn to see this place. I am sure were
gonna
have fun in a Riverboat and a day's fun at the Bricktown.
"Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day...."
We will be OK in Ok. California is fine too, California dreamin' on such a winter's day... >>>

zozaymo, bakit ka naman na-depressed?
katulad ka ba namin na nalulumbay dahil
biglang tahimik ang kapaligiran at tumataginting pa sa aming mga gunita ang
halakhakan, kantahan at chikahan? hala, iplano na
ninyo ang oklahoma! game
na kami, di ba guys?
am glad that you thought of the changes in a
positive way.maraming changes, but i believe it was for the better. we were guided. we are blessed. mahirap talagang arukin ang plano ni Lord for us. His
ways are not our ways. pero dahil mahal niya tayo. it was even much better than we had imagined and planned.
a few noticed i was a bit quiet than
"usual". he-he-he! siguro,
nag-accumulate na yong pagod at puyat which i am not used to anymore. but all these labas-pasok ng hotels trying to pick what's
best for the group am happy to do.oks lang.nakabawi na ako. been
restng since we came back.
the memories helped me recovered faster. sabi ni bob, "ma, marami pa tayong reunion. tatagan mo ha?" basta lamyerda, game ako. ang Sleepless in
vegas na naging Confused in vegas and finally Blast 67!
Bal rang me last night. he's
alreay excited for the next one! and so are we!

Happy Easter,
Everyone.
Maraming maraming salamat po sa muling
pakikiramay.
Tama si Junior. We were not able to
comply with what Bal's schedule prepared for us but
our 8-hour event covered everything. I should have joined the following event
(action as what Red described it) but Aisel didn't feel well, nabaguhan sa malamig na klima at nawala pa ang boses. A
coincidence but I don't consider this as a premonition of losing another
close relative.
At any rate, as what everyone is claiming. It's a very
successful event and hoping we'll make it bigger come Oklahoma time. Our dear Elda
need not to carry suitcase of t-shirts anymore. Junior and Rolly plus
Bal and Demy (our adopted '67 member)
will provide the entertainment again. Next time, 'Inda will show us also
some steps in dancing. Actually, medyo mitig na ang
binti ko but I can't stop dancing whenever I see Rolly does his thing. Brod Pastor
Norman will share his blessings, and thank you brod, for acting as our klasmeyt
in high school again. Linda did a great job in making a decision for
holding the affair at dance studio. Mabuti na
lang chairman Bob and Lolabee were doing fine during the affair but sorry to
hear Lolabee didn't feel well also in LA. Palagay ko
over fatigued na 'yan kaya pahinga kayong mabuti pagdating sa Australia.
See you all again, in Oklahoma. How
about New York
naman next time. I've never been there yet. >>> ALOHA!

Lolabee.. you're right !!! Zozaymo (JR) is
still overwhelmed!!!.. One day I called Malou and Red
and told them.. I'm a little depressed dahil sa event
sa Vegas.. We can call it now "BLAST 67".. I did my fisrt letter last Wednesday..
but for whatever reason .. just
like before.. may "napindot ako".. biglang nawala.. I was so mad dahil napahaba na noon and besides.. inspired na inspired ako.. What happened in Vegas,
stayed in Vegas.. "just
plain wrong" .. whatever happened to us in
Vegas will remain forever...nakatatak sa utak natin ito!!It was fun,excitement and full of life...
Today is the one week anniversary of our Blast67.. at this time .. we just touched
down in Vegas and called Belen Latag and told me that the plan was changed .. it will be to Dem's place which is very good..lahat talaga nang pangyayari ay sa ikabubuti.. the first segment of get-together...nawala ang kain sa Nanay
Gloria, nawala ang Venetian rendevouz .. same with Fremont sight seeing.. pero
kapalit naman ay mas close "bonding" nang group..
Bawal sa amin mag-email sa office.. pero
I can't help myself... if they fine me.. so be it.. I
won't make this long dahil "magkukunwari "pa ako sa office.. expect tomorrow when I finish my
income tax return.. I do it very late dahil bayad tayo eh..
So to all.. we luv u and
please still the same.. take care and be good to all..
I almost called everyone anyway since Wednesday....
Our deepest condolences to our Aisela and family..
Ineng knows
her.. sa kanya daw siya nagpapatahi
nang damit noon...
Happy Easter to all.. If someone would like to see Oklahoma (probably all again).. are we going to do it before the 40th or after??? Let me
know dahil game ako!! Game na ba kayo???
I
repeat.. luv you all!!!!!!!!

At maraming salamat pa rin, from me and I'm thankful also that I
brought my wife, my sister and my mom who really enjoyed every moment of the
evening. Sabi ko nga kay Junior, nabakla 'ata ako nang
makita ko si Rolly dancing internationally. Maraming nahawa sa
pagsayaw pati nanay ko. Thanks Rolly.
Though at one end. Upon getting home,
we've learned that Aisel's Tiya Lourdes passed away last Tuesday, the very day
we arrived in Hawaii. Less
than a month after her father's demise. One thing I admire about my
wife, Aisel. She could calmly handle everything and just being practical.
Ineng (Junior), tiya Lourdes is the younger sister
of my father-in-law at nakatira rin sa Edano. I'm
sure you know her.
Regards to everybody and expecting to
see more of our classmates in the coming years.

Thank you classmates for the wonderful time that Boy and I
had in Vegas ! UNFORGETTABLE MOMENTS
! That was a superb cooperative efforts of all
the classmates and of course the great coordinator, BAL. How can we thank you ?
Andy, Junior and Beth's husband as
our singers- great singing voices. parang PROS.
The very good dance teacher, Rollie,who gave us a world tour
through dances, I was sweating and kind of "hingal" but
still I liked to stay on the dance floor even if I was an
amateur without grace at all. Salamat sa mga nagdala
ng pagkain. Thank you sa mga husbands and wives na
nag-set-up ng mga tables and chairs at tumulong sa pagliligpit and nagtapon ng
basura.
I wish we could have spend more time with the group.If in the
future, the group will decide to have the reunion in California, I
guess the CA graduates will be willing to host it.
I will go to RP on April 21. I can do some errands for the group.I
plan to meet Luming and Temmy.

Hello everybody--- finally after having a nice 6 hours of sleep when I got home
at 6AM today, I'm now so refreshed to read some of the feedback from our great and enjoyable
reunion in Las Vegas----
I want to share with the group what transpired after everybody left the hotel RIO
---of course I had to rush down to the Casino to finally have the feel of it (been itching to play--
imagine since I came Wed. night and was able to hold
on to my promise of not to play till the end of the affair)---- unfortunately, no luck still and lost ( so I almost paid for my stay
inthe hotel). Decided to just relax and enjoy every minute of our remaining hours in
the hotel--- nice view from the 28th floor then the phone rang, it's Bob and Lolabee----
We had time to kill before they leave @ 5pm, so again back to the strip to show Mike around (
1st time niya eh)-- pasyal kami sa Excalibur, Luxor and Mandalay before heading again to
Pinoy Pinay, oooppss we have a surprise souvenir from Luxor ( Bob will show it).
Then, my dear Beth and Apple were so nice and wanted to continue our bonding till we leave
--- that was really
awesome, finally we were the ones driven around to Belagio, Venetian and was treated for a taste of the Goldilock specialty --- then bid goodbye at the airport
( they even drove us to the airport)---- talagang true friends huh--- Thanks so much specially
to you Apple (hindi naman marunong magdrive si Beth eh)--- at may padala pa, he-he-walang
maiinggit ha?
For sure , everybody had real fun--- we felt again like
in our high school days; another great MEMORIES to remember--- my thank you to all. Love, >>> Marylou Z.

To the hospitality of the Maano family, to Chris (Malou's
