SPI Batch ‘86 Christmas Get Together

I received 2 text messages from my high school classmates while shooting a garden wedding at El Palacio Hotel in Cavite City last Saturday, both were saying that we will be having a Christmas Party the following day (Sunday).
The party was originally scheduled on the 12th of December but since I didn’t hear any updates [...]

Handog ng Pilipino sa Mundo

I woke up last Saturday learning that former President Cory Aquino finally succumbed to colon cancer after a long 1 & 7 months battle with the sickness.
Now that I’m watching her funeral procession with thousands of people waiting for the cortege to arrive, I can’t help but wonder how big (still) is the ‘Cory’ phenomenon [...]

Here we are after 23 years

After 23 years I was able to see my classmates & batchmates from St. Peregrine Institute class of 1986. Although we had small gathering before, I believe yesterday’s get together was so far the biggest, thanks to technology & the internet, we were able to organize yesterday’s event.
Besides the get-together as planned in our [...]

bagets aftermath

pagkatapos mapanood ni master ang bagets at pagkatapos pagdusahan ang panunupil ng clerico-pasistang paaralang (juice mother mo pudra v.!) pinamumunuan ng mga secular na pari, kailangang baguhin na ang istayl ni master.
isang napakalaking transformation ang nangyari, mula sa pormang etivacs1 naging pormang bagets na si master.
