Beautiful Saturday!



True story: A case of mistaken identity

The following day, after a night of wild and noisy post wedding celebration, I headed to the hotel parking lot to load up my car. An elderly couple, on their early Sunday morning walk, purposely crossed my path.

Seeing a living creature haggardly coming out of the hotel that early in the day, both cheerfully greeted me with a friendly, “Good morning, how is the father of the bride, today?”

Half awake, without hesitation and with a big reciprocating friendly smile, I retorted, “He is fine! Today, he acquired a son, but a hundred thousand and one dollars poorer!”

“Aw you poor thing, how come you’re still smiling!?” the elderly gentleman exclaimed with a beleaguered and confused look.

I responded, “I’m the friend of - the father of the bride!”

. . . and a Wuunderfull Evening!

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
