March 5, 2010 - To what we saw on the pictures, the homecoming seems successful. I saw a lot of familiar faces especially those who I call lucky that were able to travel all the way from the US to attend and come home to our dear alma mater. My wife and I are very jealous. We talked and decide to commit ourselves to the next grand homecoming. I know I missed all the fun and most of all I miss Jobeth already. She use to call me all the time during the day and bother me. She is such a very nice person.

March 1, 2010 - Dakal a minta king dinner king Sasmuan. It was a relaxing atmosphere at Sister Remy's home. It is a beautiful multi-storey house with a warm ambience. Remy was a great host. We tremendously thank her for inviting everybody over.
As expected, there were the crabs and the shrimps, Sasmuan is so famous for. There was so much food, with Susan Razon Quiambao bringing palabok while Chat Miguel Tuazon's low-cal tacos seems to be a mainstay favorite. Ating sisig, kalame, tibuk-tibuk, pastillas, prutas,etc. Basta, dakal a pamangan! Everyone enjoyed ing kwentuhan and pamangan.

February 24, 2010 - The Pre-Homecoming Party at Bernadeth's went real great. Attendance soared high with Larry and company campaigning personally for classmates to attend. The boys' attendance was surprisingly high. We were all happy to see our Balikbayans whom we were expecting to come-JoBeth, Beth Valencia, Carlos and wife Rose, Minto and wife, Grace, Vera, Juanita, Cynthia and husbad Ric, Seng, Noel, Romy, Remy. The count is not final, but calculation is plus or minus 60.

Great Crowd
Happy and excited faces came and had fun. The night was filled with reminiscing, jokes and laughter as everybody re-introduced himself. We also had fun with the parlor games and the dancing.
