I think no batch can top our 25th anniversary celebration. Thank you so much dear batchmates for all your effort and preparations, special mention to Cynthia and the core group girls... you know who you are and the rest of our batchmates that attended the special night, the Subic outing ( so sorry I missed Ocean Adventure... ) and the ICAM Tour. I really had a wonderful time and I am glad that I came home for it. It was really nice to see all of you after 25 years, I think we all aged beautifully. I will forever cherish our special night, the beautiful medley that you all sang and of course our school song... can't believe I still know the first half of it by heart, to be honest I got teary eyed.

Thank you for making our journey home memorable, its good to re-connect with you girls even for just a short time. I hope we all continue to re-connect and update each other through this site and emails. I don't know when we will see each other again but I hope it won't take another 25 years... i love you all!!!

Hi ghels! Congratulations! Mrs. Garcia said that we had a very nice reunion! One of a kind daw! AND AMONG ALL REUNIONS...THIS ONE IS THE MOST ATTENDED SILVER JUBILARIAN CELEBRATION! Sana din daw...nagperform din yung mga anak nyo sa program. Pero overall...we excelled daw.
Nwayz, Tess and I visited her 2 days after our batch reunion. She is now working at the Parish Office of Our Lady of Pentecost Church at Loyola Heights QC. The church is walking distance in our place at Xavierville Subd. So for those of you who want to pay her a visit, you can catch her 9 am to 5 pm Tuesday to Sunday. Her day off is every Monday. Cyn, probably, we can also give her a token of appreciation. Thanks and  God bless.

Way to Go!

Hello to everyone. Many things had been said about the reunion. Kahit medyo late, here’s a few more…

Our grand reunion was not just good…it was excellent! It was fabulous! Every detail was meticulously taken care of….the mass, the food, production numbers, performers, the souvenir book, décor, legacy turnover, the whole event!

Mass – good choice of celebrant and mass songs
Food – may variety at masarap!
Souvenir book – a keepsake we will treasure for many years
Batch 83’s production numbers – Well-practiced & cooperative ang mga performers kaya naman hit na hit!
Invitation/Programme – very professional at artistic ang pagkagawa
Attendees/Guests – There was full support from the sisters, teachers, other batches, and of course, from our very own batchmates. Everyone in our batch looked so pretty and elegant (especially under dim lighting..hehe)
Legacy turnover – Daming feedback na very generous ang batch natin towards ICAM…and rightly so!
Overall program –All the details fell into their rightful place that resulted in one splendid and memorable event! This attests to the strong leadership and commitment of Cyn and her CG (core group!)

And then there was the Subic outing…

Those two days were FUN-tastic! Picture-an, kainan, tawanan, hagikhikan, chikahan, unahan sa pag-save ng kwarto, pila sa banyo, karaoke-an, tulog sa sahig, puyatan, taking-a-shower in the dark, shopping, pasahan ng hair-dryer, taking turns sa mirror, etc. etc.

At the end of it all, we can say that despite our imperfections and shortcomings, and no matter the distance, place, time, or age, we remain a happy, solid batch. O di ba?! Way to go, batch 83!

-Cecile

Thanks a lot to Batch '83

FROM: CUE-CUE

Hi Iam and Everyone,

Thanks Iam for posting the pictures & inviting my sister Connie to represent me or attend the re-union for me. The event & venue looks great, I wish I'm there...I didn't change my vacation schedule at work thus, I still have 2 more weeks off.

I got sick on the last weekend of June on my kids B-day & I'm glad we didn't have any party for them since all of us were sick. I ended-up w/ Asthmatic bronchitis thus I was sick for a week & that was my deciding factor not to attend the re-union. I didn't redeem my frequent flier anymore even though there was an available seat for me using Singapore Airlines. I lost 6 lbs when I was sick but gained it back in 4 days since the start of my vacation last week.

Kindly post more pictures please...Hi Tess, Beth, Odette, Cecille L., & Marita ....I hope you're enjoying your vacation in the Phils. HAVE FUN!!!

I'm still waiting for the video....everyone looks great in the picture!

Still wishing I was there....
Tere
