Eggheads Christmas Reunion 2007

Pardon if I've been posting too many pics of our holiday celebrations. Over-exposed na mukha namin sa blog na 'to.

Anyway, just a few more kwento. I'm posting about my happenings as much as possible in chronological order so that there's better drift. Pasensya na, this is more for personal consumption rather than for general public viewing. :-)

Last December 30, 2007, the Eggheads aand their families flocked to Gracia's QC house for a pot-luck party. Why Eggheads? It's corny eh. I especially like referring to my "brainy" college friends (from UP Economics) as The Eggheads. Ya know, like when you have a barkada and you give a name to your barkada. The original eggheads were really just Jackie, Lala, Cherry, Gracia and me. We got to know each other at the line for the registration for blocks as freshmen. As some may be familiar, the lines in UP take FOREVER. So on one of those occasions where we registered for a subject, Lala (whose my friend way back from Grade 5) and I got to see Jackie (our HS batchmate), Cherry (who still had bulutong marks pa and came with her Dad!) and Gracia (a petite girl with a wide smile). That started it all. We became constant lunchmates and lib-mates from that time on. We would often sit down at the library steps of our college to study and make chicka. Later on, we got to be closer to Ruby and Edu (and many other friends) too during the last few years of college and after.

We've been friends na pala for 14 long years. Most of us are married na and among those who are single, at least Ruby is now a certified "girlfriend" while Lala is now interested to date. Woohoo!

Here's our class.. errrr barkada picture plus more pictures here.

Many things have changed through the years but there are still some things that remain peculiar to each person. Cherry is still one hour late. Jackie still went home early. Ruby is still bubbly especially now that she's in love. Lala is still water-aversed. Edu is still funny and ma-kwento. Gracia is still so organized. Me? I'm still full of appetite (for new stories? hehehe). By the way, Cherry - you owe me those GCs for my exchange gift. When will we meet for coffee?

I love you guys and hope to see you again for our Tanay outing!

 My pregnancy condition did not allow us to celebrate/dine out on our wedding anniversary this year. But Hunny tried to make that day special for us still by making it a pizza and cake night, not just for the the two of us but for the whole family. :-) Love you dad!

Zoe's 2nd Birthday Party!

Image
Caution: Loaded with pictures!!! Everything was set for Zoe's 2nd birthday party. We initially invited only a few close family and friends but then our guest list ballooned up to more than 60 people on the day before. No regrets because it turned out to be so much fun! First, the FOOD! We asked the help of my SIL to cook kare-kare and kalderata while our Ate Nilda prepared molo soup, spaghetti, hotdog on stick and fruit medley. My Ninang pitched in and made some leche flan while I made peach & mango ref cake and some canapes (with egg salad) which was a HIT (thanks Anne for the tip!). Our birthday cake was from Red Ribbon (best buy!) while the rest of the food (pancit bam-i, fresh lumpia, chicken lollipops, herb-crusted fish fillet) were ordered from ever dependable Conti's. Pictures here: We had some goody bags and party hats for the guests too. The party started at 12 noon with a short prayer and a cheerful happy birthday song for Zoe: Then it was chowtime right ...

Health is Wealth

Health is definitely wealth. It may sound like an old saying but it's true. We've already lost some relatives and friends to cancer and how I wish I could have helped them avoid getting sick or at least to helped them to feel better and get well during those grueling days and months of sickness. One of the bad encounters we've had with cancer was the case of my dear grandmother. I still remember the time my grandmother arrived from the province. I had just seen her a few weeks before that and she was somewhat feeling weak already because of something we didn't know about yet. I guess she couldn't take the pain anymore her so she decided to come to us to get further medical treatment from the doctors here in the city. We immediately had her checked by the doctor and prayed for her to get well. If I had know about alternative cancer treatments , I would have suggested to my family going to an alternative cancer center where my grandma could undergo an alternative can...
