SMA Batch 80 & 84 X-Mas Party 2007 (Herrie Rivera_Dec 18, 2007)
Good morning to all!
Whew & ahoy! What a party that was! For starters, we had a hyper emcee in the person of Penny Soto Olalia. What can I say, she did rock the house …..that includes the house & the CR…he he. I think with her around emceeing our party, Loy & I will have all the time to drink & merry with our former classmates, former tormentors, former partners in crime & former crushes he he he. Thank you Penny for your presence….you are indeed heaven sent…Peace!
The party started late…sorry I was also late coz I have to pick-up my good friend Johnna & my surrogate son Nathan. Tan just came from Alabang that day & she had already begged off to rest & have time to review her son for his exams the next day. But persistence does pay off, in a jiffy I was outside her gate honking my car….surprise attack ha ha ha…. She really did not have a choice but to let me in or “magiskandalo ku keng luwal”. Of course Tan still insisted that she needed to review Nathan….. Hmmmm… Here comes the son to my rescue….Mommy sama kana kay Bapa, megreview naku adwang subjects ku…. No choice ya I Kulut…..I told Nathan to get dressed as well & join the party…. Mission accomplished…
Next stop….Froilan’s restaurant where we ordered 1 bilao of sushi & assorted Japanese food. At P 2,000.00 only, you get this tasty hand made sushi mix (California maki, sushi etc..). Mind you ha….Froilan is giving employment to our disadvantaged brethren of society. I’ve heard that these hand made Japanese delicacy is a joint project of Froilan & the Angeles City leprosorium…..hmmm no wonder ela man malansa retang raw tuna….made by raw hand la pala! As usual, Froilan was late. “Late sa meeting, late sa church, late sa balita, late magbayad sa akin ….nung eya mu lalaki ini, every year mabuktut ya kasi pati menstruation na ma-late “ Anyway you cannot hate this guy for being always late.... the guy is a natural comedian…he can draw wit & humor even to the most divine things…
Take this example….When we were already in the car on our way to San Fernando, I overheard him talking to Johnna’s son….”Balu mo itong, I Ima mu metung ya kareng maloloku kanaku anyang highshool kami” Of course Nathan was shocked…he then continued on…”kikyak yapin Imam u oneng makananu ke aburi I Ima u mumuna….tutuluk ya….kadwa…atin yang kutu….Johnna protested in vain…So he added some more …magpakamate ya pin yan eh….lulundag ya ketang Makopa nang Ingkung mu…Johnna’s son believed him so much that I think he just kept wondering if he is his Dad!
Next we had to look for a BPI branch to withdraw some cash….we were expecting huge expenses ….Malas lang….all BPI ATMs being a Sunday refused to dispense cash….Basyo
While we were doing all these things, Bernadette & Loy kept calling my mobile…I did not know why….Soon I heard that Penny started her emceeing chores with showbiz updates….hmmm me over ya ata!
We arrived in the party place with a mere dozen classmates already there….Cheryl, Analisa, Jean, Tess, Mary Ann, Penny, Bernadette, Wency, Aselo & Vicente… I was disappointed by the low turn out but I realized I should be happy to see new faces like my ex-future Wency, my future ex Analisa & my ex bully Vicente Nicdao.
I heard that the early bird was Vicente Nicdao….well who does not know this guy…who was not tormented by this class bully…..ha Arnold Siwasineger! Well in fairness, he’s grown este he shrunk literally…I wonder why we guys were so afraid of him those days. I cracked a few ribs with side elbow & running 45 degree busals! By this time, he was already drunk….
When I shaked his hand & asked him how he was doing (my customary greetings)…he blurted in a tipsy way….Oyni…atlu naku anak…adwa asawa….kakaluwal sukulan….nung atin kang papate…atin discount…ehek! Diksu ke ayakmul itang sushi a lalangutan ku…. Hmmm….
Things were to be more exciting……Penny started her emceeing chores by singing with Mary Ann Banawa….aro ot ka compatible da boses reng adwang arena….synchronize in melody ra at they know how to support each other…It really seems to me that they have many things in common….Well, what can I say, they are so alike….I enjoyed seeing them so happy & contented in their own world….
We started drinking beer & ate some pulutan…. To her credit, Penny immediately asked those who came the first time introduce themselves & what they are doing right now…First was Lisa who came directly from Australia who did look healthier & fit. Thank God she is doing fine in Down Under where she works as a hospital Clerk…. Wency was next who seemed happier & contented. As usual, she is still charming & sophisticated…..siyempre atin kung taste ne! Of course the last to talk was Vicente ….with his hoarse cracking voice, he said he was at the resort earliest & is expecting a gift….dilihensyador ya pamo!
Then came the question & answer portion where the mike was passed around. I grabbed the chance to ask Wency….but I forgot what to ask her so… I just asked her how many kids she had……kasakit na pamo…..uuuuuyyyy me ku tense pamo!
Then came the group of Allan Bognot, Joel Garcia & Albert Calma & company….O buklat yuna ing beer atyu no reng drinkers……Albert, who just suffered a stroke was his usual self….jolly, a party livewire & taga colektang panyaling beer….. Oy Mr patak-patak!
Soon enough, the Bulaon Resettlement group came in with Ms. Rose Masangque….Dorsy, Clara, Emerita, Miriam, Judie, Carol, Myla, Rosanna…
Bong V came directly from the NAIA….Bong C huffed & puffed from Madapdap who I heard was going to Qatar to seek greener pastures so as to support his growing family….Good luck Bones!
Glen S came together with Benjie O. Siniklod yap among tambing kang Wency I Glen to which Wency jokingly blurted….o sorry alayu I Jenny ne he he he….Thanks to Benjie karetang dela nang panga sana mu pin pare next time sana naman pangang Tuna ing dala mu….ali pangang diris! Balamu mwa ka pa …kailangan ya pa ing telescope ban kang manikwang laman he he!
Maynard Uyengco came with his son who incidentally was also the classmate of Nathan…so mika semi reunion la naman retang adwang matabang anak!
Gamby, the partner emcee of Penny came fashionably late…..tambing ya pamong tinirang kanta….Pepasorry ya uling megdeliver ya pamung mineral water…..I Apolonio, last year’s star of the show came next… Fernando Juco was fit & trim looks like ala neng asthma…as usual marok ya lawe kang Aselo….atin ya atang balak!
Raul Reyes, our classmate until grade 2 graced the occasion together with Nac who represented wife Malou Joven. Bayu la dinating inawus daku pamu peka masala ra nung atyu i Wency….hmmmm anyang sinabi ku atyu….maranun la pa keng alas kwatru….
If I cannot recall the others present, adwa mu ing buri nang sabyan, either eko megparamdam…or eko memamayad he he!
Then came some game highlights, first was the bring me….prizes are P 100.00 gift checks courtesy of Atty Loi. These SM gift checks are redeemable in SM Cebu, SM Cagayan, SM Aparri & SM Patikul Sulu. So egana ganang a pa bring me papabring me mina…..
Next was the newspaper dance….partners were Johnna & Benjie, Allan Bognot & Cheryl, Aselo & Wency (huh hu), Analisa & Bong C (he he he)…..Well you know how the game works…..Megtaka kumu…uling ex sweethearts la reng partners….. kabaragbag la reng mamamin a girlfriend de i Caroline Palo (Glen, Benjie, Albert Calma etc…) Ikayo ne….Lulto mu basta pera ne! And as expected, the winner was Albert Calma & Caroline Palo….. I Pareng Loy megsamantala ka ne!
Kaybat kantahan na naman…& Penny was assigning singers….Of course I Gamby rocker ya kasi anya ing kanta na slow rock ya. I Madam Miriam….magaling yang talagang magkanta atnang karimla ing boses na balumu mo ibat keng oya or tapayan….mag echo pa ha!
In between drinking & socializations, we drew the raffle prizes courtesy of Atty Loi, Wency, Penny, Bernadette, Cheryl, Tess, Jean & myself. I Froilan mamye ya sanang 1 truck of balas oneng ekune tinggap kasi naman kwanan ya pamu keng quarry Baculud at dumalan kapang 6 a checkpoint at amnyad kapang permit kang Among ED….bastos!
A moment of silence was also offered for our departed classmates specially Pareng Arnel who I am sure was just around the corner giggling…..
Then there was singing with former partners…..hmmm I Loy sang a beautiful piece for Wency…..siyempre eku paysambut ne…in the spirit to friendship, megkanta ku rin kang Wency…..sabe kawul he he. In fairness ne sport neman I Panda….pagtiyagan na ing boses ku...Salamat ne Pancy...A kawul daka murin kasi anyang girlfriend daca diksu daca atalan gamat ne!
I Benjie & Johnna kinta re itang ”Doggie in the Window” song…. I Johhna iyang mag aw awa.... Maynard ampo i Rosanna....meging ila pala.....(ka sweet da pamo.....Milo ing datang da)....
Next was the parlor game where the boys will stick on stickers in the body parts of the girls starting with P while the girls in turn would look for body parts starting with B, I Glen radical yang talaga….ing partner na I Clara dininan neba naman ketang P_K_!
Anyang elimination na, all body parts starting with letter K ing contests. Aro reng mapamurayit pati ba naman kurikung ampong kibal kayabe kanu ngara! Aku nung partner ke I kayi dinan ke buntuk….KOKORONTING!
Amidst the chaos & fun….our dear teacher, Mrs Cortes came direct from her Apo’s birthday. Salamat a dacal Ma’am at maragul a kapasalamatan kekami ing tratu mu kekaming dati mung estudyante na ngeni mangatwa na murin at mag ka eded na….
The party ended by 10:30 with lots of food still for taking & take out . After driving Johhna home, I went home happy to my family knowing that we were able to have pure fun & enjoyment…looking forward to next year & 2009.
By the way, thank you all to those who gave cash contributions, their effort & time & raffle prizes. I’d like to thank Analyn as well who sent some money for us to use. We deposited the excess that was collected to our fund. A proper accounting will posted by Atty Loi in the coming days…Pictures must also be posted soon.
This is all for now….I always find joy in writing these things for our classmates specially those who can not join in the fun because they are abroad or just too busy.
Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to SMA Batch 84!
