Two Weeks Notice

It was a short vacation but it was 100% activity filled with family and friends. For two weeks, two US-based alumni visited the Philippines with their respective spouses.

Ricardo “Chito” Ramos and Isidro “Sid” Mendoza, Jr., enjoyed their vacation by attending to family affairs, weddings, birthdays, Batch 70 gatherings/meetings, and island hopping.


Both couples also spent a few days at the famous Panglao Nature Island Resort in Panglao, Bohol. Au and Edith also had the time of their lives during the short vacation.


Even though their time in the Philippines was limited, all four of them still savored the Filipino hospitality.

As they went back to San Diego, Chito and Sid are now counting the days for the February 2010 Batch 70 reunion and said “we’ll have more time on our next trip to enjoy everything”.

Aloha from Hawaii

Thank you for Batch 70 for the beautiful fridge magnet, it is really amazing to see natural talent from fellow filipinos when it comes to art despite lack of resources and support.

Also, I want to thank Beth Garcia-Cabangis for the pressed flower calendar she sent with Jean. That was very thoughtful of you and I really appreciate it, it will be very useful for our office.


I was also very happy to see Jean and Rofely here in Hawaii, and glad they did despite their very busy schedule.

I hope to meet with some of our classmates in the near future, I am now retired and have an empty nest. My children have either married or away to college so I am hopeful to start enjoying life and meeting old friends. If any of you happen to come my way in paradise, please give me a call we have a couple of extra rooms at my house. You all have a very Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.

Mele Kalikimaka Hau'oli Makahiki Hou!

always,

Happy Valentine's Day!

And let your heart fall in love
With the beauty of each day

Happy Valentine's Day!
