THE 4th MONTHLY MEETING POSTPONED!

Base on the last update we received from our batchmates, majority are not attending this event. So we decided to postponed and reschedule our 4th meeting some other time. Our main purpose of the monthly meeting is to increase the attendees and not to reduce it. According to Choi, who sponsor the venue, it's much better if everybody can come because she's renting the whole place just for us. So please inform us when is the best date that everybody can come so we can reschedule the venue for that specific date. Text me or Flora DeVeza ASAP!

MONTHLY DUES

ATTENTION: BATCHMATES! Starting May 7, 2010, we are going to start collecting contribution or monthly due for our organization. It was discussed and agreed upon by the organization ad hoc committee last monthly meeting. The money will be deposited in a financial institution which will be announced later. The money shall be used to finance fund raising project, future community services (e.g. Medical Mission, etc.) and financial assistance to our less fortunate batchmates/alumni. Marlene Flora (Acting Treasurer) and Fe Bagay-Rival (Asst. Treasurer) are the signatories. Jose Marie Reyes (Acting Auditor) will monitor the financial activity of the organization. Financial Statement shall be posted on this group and our website for the members to see. Membership Due is compulsory every month and the amount is P200.00 (minimum).

DEDICATED TO ALL THE GIRLS OF BATCH 1983

The Changing PHASES of Batch 83 (the gals became ladies...)

Just more than a month ago, those who follow the Roman calendar celebrated new year. And recently, the Chinese (lunar) new year was celebrated too. In Roman mythology the only two-faced god named Janus (where the month of January was taken from), has a unique role to play. One face is looking from the past while the other face is forward looking. Janus represents the end and the beginning at the same time.

During graduation day we always see on the back drop the words _ "...commencement exercises..." But commencement means the beginning. While graduation is the end of a course. Is the beginning also the end? Is the end also the beginning?

In many ways and in different instances the end is also the beginning. Its JANUS. Its like the dawn (day break) is the end of night and the beginning of day. While dust (twilight) its where the day ceased and the night starts.

Graduation from elementary is the beginning of high school, and while high school ends college commences. As we finished college its the first step to professional life (but sometimes otherwise). In reality our life is full of Januses. But in the life of man, one of those that are really glaring changes in our life occurs during our high school age (time).

Especially the girls. They have many changing phases of their life. Spare not our beloved batchmate (batch 83) from National University. I have seen how these naughty and boyish acting gals turn to become sophisticated ladies.

From playing sipa and chinese garter to fascination of make up and understanding the pounding heart. From flat chestedness to adorable bodies. From colorless lips to shiny kissable ones. From no matter what clothes and color to wear to fashionistas. Changes, changes, changes, changes every where.

To remember more these little gals who became ladies during our high school days. Here are they as I remember them (care of Flora Deveza)

Lorna Cantaoi, Josephine Roa, Mary Anne Roa, Crissaly Dodson, Teresa Camba, Teresa Caneba, Teresa Regidor, Fe Bagay, Judy Muyco, Ma. Theresa Sy, Natividad Fugaban, Yolanda Guevarra, Belinda Aguilar, Amor Tranquilino, Lizette Lacap, MArlene Flora, Erlinda Sulit, Nancy Salvador, Beng Paez, Penny Geronimo, Dulce Dacanay, Corina Rivera, Ma. Victoria de Guzman, Felicitas Magno, Bong Caliboso, Dulosong, Marjorie and Flora Deveza

I have forgotten many... this is a mortal sin. But I know in my heart that there were many Januses for the above mentioned ladies and the forgotten ones.

Do you still remember how they looked like when they were in first year. Compare them when they graduated in high school. The little girls became adorable ladies.

The results of their changes were their sword and armor as they journeyed their college life. Different schools and diverse courses. Their challenges were harder but they managed to overcome them one by one. With their rich experienced in high school and the loving support of their loved ones, they became conquerors.

Then 27 years after graduating from high school I found some of them in FB. Notable Januses transpired. Some are still here, while others are now overseas. They have common denominator - they have children. The ladies are now women...wives and mothers. And that is a great accomplishment.

Now I can say that once in my life those great and wonderful girls who became gorgeous ladies are now loving wives and mothers, were all my batch mates from the four corners of NAtional University.

HIGH SCHOOL POEM by Lemuel Lucena

HIGH SCHOOL

National University ang aking paaralan,
Apat na taon ako'y namuhunan,
Dunong ko'y pinagpuyatan,
Diplomang inaasam aking nakamtan,

Sa aking pagbabalik tanaw,
Sa high school ito ang malinaw,
Dunong ko'y hindi mababaw,
Dahil sa karanasan eto'y umaapaw.

Geometry, Physics at Algebra,
History, Science, English at iba pa,
Kaalaman ko'y nagbigay pag-asa,
Sa kolehiyo ako'y may sandata.

Ngayon tatlong decada na ang nakaraan,
Tila yata nagbago ang aking sukatan,
Kaalaman ko sa mga pinag-aralan,
Tunay ngang sandata ko sa kinabukasan.

Subali't higit pa sa nasabing kaalaman,
Ang dunong ng tao'y maraming pinagmulan,
Karanasan sa pakikisalamuha,
Tunay na yaman na di mawawala.

Pangalan iyo pa bang maalala,
Arellano, Arceo, Antonio, Atienza, Billiones ang kasama,
Katabi si Bansil, Buen, Bumanlag, Caceres, Cinco at iba pa,
Isama si Cordero, Cortez, Cruz, Domingo at de la Cruz dalawa sila,

Huwag kalimutan si Enriquez, Fitero, Frankeza, Labarda at Gallardo
Si Marquez, Marcelino, Panebe, Pimentel at Penalosa ay huwag ipagkanulo.
Pati si Pidlaoan, Reyes, Roldan, Sanchez, Sanidad, Valle at Zamora sa dulo.
Konti na lang at aking ng makumpleto...

Sa aking mga nakalimutan,
Paumanhin mga kaibigan,
Tila ata ako'y tumatanda na
Makakalimutin na gaya nila.

Sila ang tunay na dunong na aking napag-aralan,
Sa panahong kami'y nag aaway at nagtatawanan,
Tunay na yaman na nais kong balikan
Sa Grand Reunion kami'y masisiyahan.

Kasama pa namin ang mga kababaihan,
Dati naming nililigawan at hinahangahan,
Karikitan nila'y di pa rin matatawaran,
Tunay ngang magaganda aming mga kaibigan...

Kaya eto ang paanyaya
Batch 83 ay magkikita
Sigurado akong may ligaya
Sa bawat isang sasama.
