Baby's on board!

Surprise Response

Hello Baby.
I'm very happy we found you!!! Belen got Emer's address in the white pages. It's good that she still remembers your middle name. Emer's phone number was not listed so I resorted to sending a letter.

We have so much to catch up on...30+ years. This is a great start...there are 5 of us now. Maybe, we can plan on a reunion sometime in the future. Si Belen lang ang malayo sa atin (she's in New Zealand) but she's a world traveler kaya she can meet us wherever.

We've been recalling bits and pieces of our college years. Kaya lang because of our age and the long years since we left St. Paul, madami nang events na hindi namin maalala.

My family moved to Canada in 1996. Before that, I worked at Bangko Sentral for 19 years. Sabi ko nga kay Belen, nagtataka ako kung bakit wala akong na-meet na classmates during those years. I have always envied my husband who's been in touch with his La Salle classmates even here. His best friend lives near us.

I've cc'd Eva de Jesus-Tobias, Emma Catindig-Sircar, and Belen Garzota-Arcenas on this e-mail. Sana mahanap din natin si Cristina Cartera.

Regards and we'll be in touch,
Marianne

Hi Marianne,

My brother in Sacramento, CA called me and read your letter to me over the phone. He will send your letter to me. Yes, I am your long lost classmate. i am now currently residing in Los Angeles, CA with my husband of 25 years and 2 grown up sons.

Our eldest one is currently taking up Law at California Western College of Law in San Diego and the youngest one is in junior college at University of California Riverside taking up Business Administration.

I am at the office and really got excited about your letter so I responded right away.

You now have my email address and we will chat later,

Thanks for getting in touch.

Baby !! how are you na ??

This is really a team effort. Kung hindi nag respond si Eva sa facebook email ko, we wont reconnect again .

Gaya ng sabi nga ni Marianne, I was really sad when we lost touch with each other one by one after graduation. The last time I got to see you was when we went out to have lunch (with Emma and Amy), bago ka lumipad papuntang US. By the way, have you got any news from Amy. She is married to a kababata from Paranaque, and like me and Emma, member din ng DIWKS. When I went home in 2008, I nearly caught up with them or her husband dahil nag reunion ang elementary friends namin, kaso umulan ng malakas and nag baha, they were not able to make it to the venue.

Si Cristina ang susunod nating hanapin. Im working on that, starting with locating some relatives in Paranaque, if any.

Anyway, kwento ka naman ng konti and try to catch up with some of our stories. We have exchanged a few photos already, past and present, now it's Emma and Baby's turn.

Baby, glad to hear from you!

Ladies, we are almost complete. We should credit Belle for all of this. She started the ball rolling, but like what she wrote, talagang team effort kaya tayo naka reconnect in such short period of time.

Excited na ako magkita-kita ulit tayo. We should plan ahead para lahat tayo, including Tina, could be present to our reunion after 30 years.
