Mounting the TUG’s Pier 1, Jan 20, 2011

Friday, January 21st, 2011 01:31 pm PHT

Not bad.

Nice attendance. I would like to think that we all flocked to Pier 1 to see and be with Jun Salgado and Art Cantiller and not to pick up the homecoming t’shirts. Sadly the two will not be around to join us on 5 February. They will however propagate the Spirit of TUGetherness of 76 in their respective stations over at the other side of the Pacific blazoning.

5th Sunday Mass

Monday, May 31st, 2010 02:52 pm PHT

Fittingly, this Sunday’s sermon delivered by Father Dennis talked about unity! I could not help but comment we chose the right day to close ranks and say a prayer for our sick, recovering, and departed friends and relatives. We are united in our desires for the best for our kin and each other!

Toronto Chapter 3

Sunday, March 14th, 2010 11:09 am PHT

Looks like we had a kabatch visit Toronto last friday, March 12, 2010 … it was Bambi Veron Dulay. Nanding Posadas was our host and Eddie Boy and I were invited.  Funny thing by the time Ed and I arrived Bam was already flying. Nanding and Bam had been drinking brandy. They started at noon and had already down more than half of the bottle. Judging from the condition of Nanding it looks like Bam was doing most of the drinking.  LOL… (more…)

First Quarter Beerday at Pier 1

It took just a short stroll from the parking lot to get there this time but it still took a while to find the guys huddled in the corner farthest away from the main entrance of Pier 1 at The Fort – this “meeting’s” venue. (more…)

Although only 8 or 9 signed up on the “headcount email” passed around at the Yahoo e-group, 26 classmates from La Salle High School Class of 1976 (LSGH ’76) and De La Salle Grade School Class of 1972 (Taft DSLGS ’72) showed up for Christmas party/fund-raising event.

By the time I got to Joey Pepperoni at the Fairways Tower last Friday, it was past 7:30 pm. Don’t ask… long story; long walk. Our host Butch Prieto, Tonichi Caballero (a.k.a. Tonichiwa), Johnny Liao, Tito Yuchengco, Darryl Duarte, Joey Regala, Allan Isaac and Agu Estrada were already assaulting the San Mig Lights. Tonichi, our event photog, will upload the pics as soon as possible. (more…)
