Reflections of the Second Bottle of Life






Brothers and Sisters,

Praise the Lord, we just got home safe. We arrived home at exactly 2:30 p.m. just in time for our Tim Horton's coffee.

We just want to thank you all for this wonderful celebration most esp. to our hosts, Bro. Nestor and sis. Connie. We really had fun and enjoyed our sharing of experiences during our earlier years with the Sigma Delta Pi fraternity.

My wife, Lynn, was so amazed seeing all our pictures in the '60's. We were full of hope and energy and of course...with lots of hair and less bulges as opposed to what she witnessed today. Though, she opined to me that all of you still have the traces of sincerity and genuiness in our fraternal relationship inspite of the years that lapsed. She also observed the truth of honesty when we shared that our
fraternity is an honor society. You all look scholarly dignified inspite of your maturity (old age).

Our gratitude also goes to all of you sisters whose efforts and support to your spouses is remarkable and without them, this celebration would not be relevant.

To Babie - your tortang talong is so good as well as the asado and fruits.
Olive - ang sarap ng pancit mo, I know Bro. Rudy assisted you in mixing the pancit.
Tess - I'd like most your karyok plus dinuguan.
Of course the pinakbet of Sylvia is soooo good and the paella which I can only taste during special occasion.
To Connie for the wonderful place and entertainment and very warm reception.
To Rosi and Asamot - for your company and your prayers.

Again, to all of you...Maraming Salamat and God bless.

Ogie and Lynn

Here's an update of our get-together. It's on Saturday, August 28 at Nestor & Connie's place in Pine Brook. Try to come by noon, and according to Nestor we can stay as long as we want.

Here's what we are bringing:

Jun & Babie - Chicken asado, tortang talong, fresh fruits, soda

Nestor & Connie - appetizers and everything else needed for the party

Tom/Rosie and Rogie/Lynn - You are our guests. You do not have to bring anything. Just show up.

Please provide food warmers for your dishes if needed. If you do not have warmers, let us know so we can borrow from Connie.

If you have old frat photos, bring them.

Also, think of activities and entertainment we can do.

Can't wait for the party. I am sure it is going to be a blast.

See you all at the party.
