From Spes: [upis1980] DZUPIS'80- meeting at Mario's June 19 sat 6pm

...kumusta pong muli mga ginigiliw na sumusubaybay sa ating pinakatinatangkilik na programang DZUPIS'80!

....take a look at your calendar...guess what's coming up in about a month?

....tumpak, mga kaibigan! It's out Pearl Anniversary event! Simula na po ng count down...ilang tulog na lang upang...

1....mag-insayo ng inyong presentation...malay niyo, matamo nyo ang premyo...namamaos na ako, ha, sa kauulit nyan...nawa'y hindi
niyo ako biguin...at baka hindi ko ma-take...

2....ilabas sa baul at pahanginan ang disco outfit na siyempre naman, may mapre-premyohan for the most outstanding if not 
outrageous disco outfit...at kung kukuha kayo sa ukay-ukay, pakipa-fumigate nyo na rin muna...kahit hindi na iplantsa...

3....ipadala and inyong photos kay Manny or Andoy for the Noon at Ngayon slide show

4....confirm your attendance plus number of guests coming along sa e-vite c/o Raffy or David or by other desperate means basta
makarating ang pangalan nyo kay Syl for the reservation

5....if you have some foxy way of stating the announcement for our Pearl Anniversary for broadcast on REAL radio and tv, please 
send it to Rose Barin...btw, Ronald C, didn't you have something sounding like rap for an announcement before?

6...at syempre naman, kalampagin nyo yung mga ka-tropa niyong ayaw magpabisto na they've clocked in 30 years since UPIS 
days...tell them it'll be more fun if they come...grey to white hair and all...but still hitting the dancefloor...

at kung mayroon akong nakaligtaan, do drop us a line via DZUPIS'80....

Since the panic button is about to be pressed, we're having a meeting at Mario Molina's on June 19, saturday 6pm, to tie up still the many loose ends for our big affair. Of course, dating gawi, potluck pa rin ang food and drinks...at para sa mga unaware. matagal na po kaming naka reunion mode so do come and join us for another festive gathering...mabuti na rin to familiarize yourselves with the 30 years later faces and match them with your mental images of them from way back...ito naman kasing si Syl, sasabihan akong kamayan ang isang kasama tapos tatanungin ako kung sino yung kinamayan ko...aba, hindi naman madali malagay sa ganoong spot, 'no?

oh, some people were asking who sent the pahabol line last time and for whom...sorry, my lips are sealed....but welcome that because it assures you your secrets are safe with me... :) ok, ito, ah, na-e-entertain ako sa pag-d-dj...

and yes, mga ginigiliw na sumusubaybay, pati pala cigarettes, na ka-sachet na ngayon sa sari-sari store katulad ng mga hair shampoo...

Mabuhay!

From Spes: [upis1980] DZUPIS'80 (8 June 2010)

.isa na naman pong yugto ang hatid sa inyo dito lamang sa DZUPIS'80!...

...sana ay nasa maayos kayong lagay, mga ginigiliw na sumusubaybay....

...at bago kayo mag-relax ng tuluyan, siguraduhin nyo lang po na nakapagpahayag na kayo ng inyong pagdalo sa ating July 10 Pearl
Anniversary affair at kung ilan ang inyong panauhin na isasama upang mabuo ang ating guest list at headcount for downpayment purposes sa venue...aba, pati pagpaparis ng table cloths at napkins- as in texture and color combinations ay kasama sa usapan which goes to show how much attention and effort is being poured into this event....sayang naman if we will miss your company at such an affair....

....A number of classmates have communicated with Syl, and a classmate I spotted at church confirmed he'll be there, contrary to the rumors I earlier heard...so, mga ginigiliw na sumususbaybay, please make sure your attendance to our affair has been confirmed...

....also, start airing the disco outfit from your baul...we don't want to be mothball scented as we indulge in those unforgettable dance moves and steps...kaya nga habang nagpaplantsa ako, sinasabayan ko na yung tugtog ng dance steps at kahit markings lang muna yung arm and hand movements...kasama sa insayo yan because it primes the brain for the full execution of movements...ingat lang na hindi masunog ang pinaplantsa...

....by the way, maybe we can do another fund raiser....since many of us are part of the diaspora, or some are simply wanderers/adventurers/obligatory travellers, how about a collection of landscape pictures taken by batchmates wherever, over the years and turning them into a set of single fold cards to serve as any occasion greeting cards...why landscapes?...eh kasi wide appeal even to non-batchmates and more importantly, because our Pearl Anniversary is a collective marker of a point in our individual journeys.... and landscapes as silent witnesses to these journeys ...at sa totoo lang, this is to substitute for the fund raiser sale of nude paintings some classmates were more than willing to pose for, for the sake of (abstract) art... So, just label your wonderfully awesome landscape pictures and send them with pride and utmost generosity -with no expectation of compensation kasi fund raiser nga eh- to Andoy for compilation... 

....yung mga presentation niyo sa program natin, ha? Dapat polishing touches na lang ay bonggang-bongga na for the big night!
Who knows! You may just be the next "surprise batch idol"

....pahabol na message....miss na miss ka na raw niya. At sabi niya, the moment you read that line you'll know who it's from....ohhhh
diiiiiibaaaaaaH!

Mabuhay!

From Sylvia: UPDATE (May 29, 2010)


Hi guys,

We had so much fun last night at Cesar and Zari's house discussing the program for our reunion. Dumating sina Senen, Debbie and Omee from Paranaque, Andoy from Bulacan, Acis M. from his tour around the world (he works on a cruise liner as a pastry chef), Hermie, Mario M., and of course si Herman. I posted some pictures sa FB account ko.

We have 31 days to go before the reunion, malapit na yon kaya we would like to remind everybody to inform us if you want to participate or perform para mas masaya, to start sending your pictures to Manny and confirm your attendance.

We really have to do a head count before the event, and only those who will confirm will be counted for the dinner buffet. All you have to do is CLICK the ATTENDING option sa invite that Raffy and Dindo posted. If you have a guest, please indicate plus one or two. Again, if you're a sponsor (donated at least P5,000 for the event), you are allowed to bring one guest free of charge. Aside from that, only batch mates are free of charge. 

If you are bringing a guest along and you're not a sponsor, you can pay upon registration, charge is P1,000/head. We'll have a list prepared for those who are attending and will indicate if you have a guest.

Even if you are a sponsor, please indicate also if you are bringing a guest along.

If you are married to a batch mate and both of you are attending (like me and Dodo, Herman and Aleli, Eva and Gil, etc), please indicate plus one also unless the spouse will confirm on his own.

Please do not assume that we already know if you are attending or not, we have to see it in black and white so that we can update our list. Di po namin nababasa ang isip niyo, ok?

So far, ang confirmed pa lang who will bring a guest along are Renan, May Ann and Syl (ako po yon).

DISCO po ng theme natin and sa July 10, 2010 ang ating reunion to be held on the 42nd floor (awesome view!) of Discovery Suites. 

Here's the list of people coming home:

Joy Morales, May Ann G., Ruby V.- Europe

Beth Zalazar and Marissa Balingit- Canada

Nollyses, Mabel, Renan, Frankie, Arnel J., Nelson DLC, Nestor Pamatmat, Arnold T., Pia, Eileen, Ria C., Ivy R. and Mila- U.S

Erwin V- Japan

Dodo- Singapore

Joylegs and Dada U.- Australia

(sana madagdagan pa)

Sad lang kasi Bingbing is arriving on July 17 and Queenie on July 20 or 21 pero babawi daw sila, so extended ang ating celebration.

These people are coming home to celebrate with us, to renew friendships and see old friends so I hope, tayong mga lokal will do our share to help and make our reunion a truly memorable one for everybody. 

And to be able to do that, all we need from the rest of the batch mates are konting time to attend the remaining meetings in preparation for the reunion, send your hs pictures na nakatago sa baul and reply to our email and start the ball rolling.

So, if you decide to reply to this, please click REPLY ALL or else ako lang ang makakabasa.

To those who won't be able to come home, alam niyo na kasama namin kayo in spirit and that we truly appreciate all the help and assistance that you extended sa batch to make this reunion possible. I don't have to name names because some of them opted to be anonymous donors. To those who collaborated on the CD's and bought them, maraming salamat. Pia, Jess and Beng are still accepting orders so place your order now kasi they'll hand carry the CD's.

To Beth Z, thanks also. We'll run and bike with you on June 27 for your cause, the UPIS Girls Sports Program. Sama kami kina Dinna and Gerry. Well, anybody can join so sama na tayong lahat and donate any amount for this event.

Hope to hear from all of you...

Salamat.
Syl

Naka-day off ang DJ natin, she needs a break too
