Reunion Advisory # 8

Dear All,

Just a rundown of what transpired/the agreements reached during our batch meeting on Saturday, October 18 at Dra. Pinky’s clinic:

1. Funds update. As of now we have P213,870 in the bank. The raffle generated P141,900+ in total sales less and net profit is P74,000+. May collectibles pa amounting to P18,800 and the group agreed na unless there is a valid reason for not returning the unused/unsold tickets, padagos pa man gihapon an paniningil ni tesorera.

2. We received a solicitation letter from Mrs. Gallinera for props of the drum corps. It was agreed that since we still have a long, long list of projected expenses for the reunion, mahatag anay kita nin P2,000 and kun may sobra na money after saka ta na lang dagdagan.

3. Since we still need additional funds, Patrick broached the idea of coming up with another fund-raising activity. Options raised were: beer plaza, garage/yard sale, bingo socials, raffle (smaller prices only) and caroling. The group agreed na mag-carol since it won’t entail gastos. Para mapakay-ad man diyot an mga balag na boses, may practice on November 22, 29 and December 6. The caroling will be on December 12, 13 and 14 and December 19, 20 and 21. Attire is any Batch 84 t-shirt and Santa Claus cap. Sa mga mairintra reminder daw na dili na magkaon malangsa batog niyan.

4. T-shirts. Dra. Nonsol will be in Sorsogon on October 27 so we need to finalize the details. Initial suggestions are: for the parade, para medyo formal man an dating, may collar an shirts (predominant color: gray) and for the family day an wara na collar. Kun pwede kuta, pati spouses and kids naka batch 84 shirts. Kun dili na kita maka-solicit para didi, these will be made available pero kanya-kanyang bayad.

5. Family Day. It was suggested that instead of holding the family day on Easter Sunday, anano daw kun sa Holy Thursday na lang? Choices for venue are Fisherman’s Hut in Bacon (price range: between P12,000 and P15,000) or Paradise Resort in Pangpang (P20,000).

6. Ball. Naka reserve na tabi an provincial gymnasium para sa evening activity/ball. Annie Lustestica is the one in charge of coordinating the band and bagan done deal na, although dapat pirmi kita may backup since military an mga members san band and they may be called upon kun may national emergencies, etc. For the ball, saro man sa mga suggestions is pwede kita mag-consign nin food and drinks tapos ibenta sa mga attendees.

Attire for the ball is semi formal: no maong / casual t-shirts. Suggestion man na magkaigwa nin color motif.

For the program, dili na masyado grabe an mga pataratara (no long speeches and no politicians).

7. Program of Activities. Amo tabi ini an suggested flow:
Thursday Family Day
Saturday Parade
Open House (c/o the SNHS Faculty)
Election of Officers (c/o the General Alumni Association)
Luncheon with teachers at the St. Matthew’s Hall
Evening Ball.

8. Token for the mentors. Suggestions include silver pens, umbrellas, t-shirts or mugs with the mentors’ picture. So far, wara pa man nagkahururunan kay we are still waiting for suggestions from the rest of the batch.

9. Project for high school. During the raffle, we noticed na wara nin public address system an high school. Saro ini sa mga gin-coconsider ta as our project for the school.

Gabos po ini open for suggestions. We would appreciate receiving feedback/ comments/suggestions etc. so that we can discuss these in the next meeting on November 22.

Thanks and regards,

Menchie

Hello from the Isle of Avalon.

Enjoy man kami ni Masha sin lamyerda didi... Payt an lamon, nan todo man an pasalyuhan mi sa kasilyasan sin kaudo dahil sa kabusugan..hehehehee...

"Tias man..." (sabi ina ni Marissa)

Uritonon saakon kay ginparapa-sagrap ko sa paitaas na kalye, mala, puwerte an halhal...hekhekhek... sige an hapot saakon kon nano an sikreto ko san beauty ko, mala, amo ngani ini, sagrap sa itaas.. aw, niyan sige an reklamo saakon... diin ka man puruton sadi..

Pag-araga man an nguruduyan... Well, you guess! Of course, libak kamo intiro! heheheee

Pustahan kita kay intiro kamo nagkakaparag-ukan... nagkakaragat niyo an dila niyo dida..aw, kon sin-o saiyo an hubag na an dila sa rutok, amo ina an napanganaan sin libak mi...hehehee..pasensiya na... part na ina san popularidad niyo..

Pasensiya na kamo kay dili ako maaram mag tagalog, kay taga Balogo baga ako...heheheee haputa si Ali...

(Hoy...Marissa...kitaa baya niyo ini kay sige lang an utok-utok sin tawa didi sa kaiping ko..)

Pardon me for this, kay batit baga ako sin nagdako sa plasa.. (presidenta baga sadto si Kumander Waway san 'kabidaba' sa Sirangan..so taga Plasa -karnal..say mo..?) kaya irog sadi ini...

Ayaw lang, kay maabot an panahon, makasurat man ako sin 'tagalog' nan bisay na english... hadlok baya ako madiskubre an hidden talent ko kay basi matalbugan ko si Kris Aquino..maalo man... Gin isip ko ngani maki umbasan kan Kris, kaya lang, gurang na ako, wara na energy. (Pero nauna na kuno kan Kris an lantu-ag ko sadtong panahon, sabi ni Masha..hehehhe).

Okay, seriously, makulog an tiyan ko...basi impatso ini...ini kaya si Marissa, payt an kaon san chocolate...abay pa, sige ko man an siba... nag rebulusyon na an tiyan ko... masunod sadi, tiwis na... heh! Udungi na ako...seriously kuno...kaniguan ini si Marissa oo.... Anay nag ko-confide na ako san 'feelings' ko man didi.. payt man tintar... hala..yadto na naman ho.... pakadto na naman sa trono... ginbasol baya an salmon san dinner niya..ako man, ginbasol ni Marissa an tahong.. Mayad pa si Scott na manok an binanatan kay silensyo an tiyan..yadto sa baba.. peaceful san kakanam san x-box niya, while the two of us, maharatihit na an behind.. Oh my... Sabi ko na baya, an culprit sadi, an "galaxy Minstrels"...ambot, nasobrahan ada an lamon mi sadi... well, pag nasusugan niyo ini na chocolate na ini, warningan ko na kamo san possible side effect san 'over consumption'... mabasol talaga kamo... lalo pa kon mahadlat na an likod san kalag...

Summer sa Europe... 15 degrees centigrade... nakamedyas man gihapon kami ni Marissa...amo ada ini talaga an mga dako sa Sampaloc nan Balogo... mala, kami lang an nakaputosonon sa downtown san paglakat-lakat mi..looking at the Britons na nag paka tirante na lamang...

So, kon sin-o man an gusto magbakasyon didi sa UK, welcome kamo. I swear dili na ako ma offer sin 'galaxy minstrels' kay basi magbasyar man kamo. You also have other host here, si Levi Domalaon. Aw, basi much safer kamo didto. Magayon man an lugar ni Levi, sa Leeds, dako didto an plasa, makamayang kamo pamakal sin sira.

(Nano pa, Masha.....Turog na ini ho... nanluya na ada.... dehydrated na sin 'trip to jerusalem' niya...)

Maturog na kuno kami...hurawang silensyo an lubot nan nagpapahuway an tiyan.

c u !!!
