[upis1980] DZUPIS'80 - calling on tropas

 

....isa nanamang panawagan ang sumasainyo dito lamang sa pinaka-aabangang
palatuntunang DZUPIS'80!

....sana ay nasa maayos kayong kalagayan, mga ka-batch....

Sa kasalukuyan ay binubuo na po ang panibagong board para sa ating UPIS Batch
'80 Foundation.
Inaanyayahan ang mga tropa na pumili ng kani-kanilang representative para maging
board member. Syempre, dating mantra- dapat lahat kasama- kahit silent type ang
tropa niyo. Ok lang kahit puro good-looking kayo basta ang mahalaga may
kinatawan kayo para marinig ang inyong tinig at makibahagi kayo sa mga proyekto.
Hindi rin naman kailangang magpasikat dahil magkakabatch din lang naman ang
magtatawanan at magkukwentuhan kapag may mga meeting. Culinary & bartending
skills will help para naman exciting ang menu kahit potluck ang meetings. Kindly
submit names to Herman.

Oh, this early please block off December 29, 2010, wednesday, for our annual
pre-New Year gathering. The following day will be a holiday so it shouldn't be a
problem. It will be held at Mariko & Dave's Luyong Restaurant in Marikina, to
start at 5pm. Start thinking of a nice hat to wear to the party, and a white
elephant item for exchanging and stealing gifts. Siguro naman, your tropa will
have more than enough time to prepare for a song or dance number :)

And, Janina, naaalala ko 'yon. At yung mga sikreto natin noong araw ay top
secret pa rin! At alam mo ba, yang si Syl? Si Manny? Nito ko na lang naman
nakahalubilo yang mga 'yan....ang lulutong kung tumawa...

Sa mga heartwarming na pasalamat na pinahayag para sa inyong lingkod, allow me
to take a really slow & deep bow....ooops, yung reading glasses ko, baka
malaglag nga pala....my reminder that it's been over 30 years....

O, yung salamin niyo, baka malimutan niyong atop your head lang pala....but of
course, let us be like wine, getting finer as we age... ayos ba, Syl?

hanggang sa muli,

Mabuhay!

From Spes: DZUPIS'80 - pasasalamat

"isang pag-ibig," was the casually intoned request from a woman that shook me 
out of my reverie
it flashed through may mind to say, "ako rin, ho" and then
I realized she was handing me her fare to be handed over to the jeepney 
driver...
and she was getting off at the PAG-IBIG (Home Development Mutual Fund) office 
along Buendia Ave., in Makati....

with that let me welcome you once again to....
isa nanamang yugto dito sa pinkasikat na himpilang DZUPIS'80!
kumusta pong muli mga ginigiliw na sana ay sumusubaybay pa rin sa e-group kahit 
nagkakanda FB na talaga ang mga mid-lifers....

ngunit ang yugtong ito ay hindi tungkol sa pag-ibig kundi pasasalamat sa inyong 
pagmamahal na ipinamalas sa ating Batch para sa ikatatagumpay ng ating Pearl 
Anniversary reunion....
