Hey, looks like you guys had a feast. CONGRATULATIONS! Ang sarap naman ng crabs, nakakainggit, parang puro aligue yan ah....at siguro ang tamis din ng corn. Mukha talagang you had a lot of fun. Nasaan ang pics na naka 2 piece... ehem... hindi shorts and shirt.... LOL

Mukha na ulit kayo kambal Cecile and Tess kasi pareho na color ng hair niyo.

Mildred, thanks for posting the slideshow.I'm sure you had fun time with your family at Myrtle Beach.

Mey, thanks a lot again for inviting Class 78 to your beautiful home. I hope to go and visit you someday in Maryland.

Mildred said...

The Daughters of Nightingale who attended the mini-reunion in Maryland were Mildred, Ruth, Mahgene, Tess, Cecile,Chato,Lele and our wonderful Mey who worked so hard to make this reunion possible.As usual, we were very loud and crazy and the never ending food for 2 days made us all gain few pounds or more, but we did not mind it at all.Thanks Mey and family for your wonderful hospitality.

For those who could not come like Veron, Amy, Susan,Carol, Sara C. Flor and Janette, you all missed the fun!!But it is ok, there will be another time someday.

Melle, did you notice the boomerang and key chain? The picture was the evidence that Cecile gave them to me. Thanks a lot!!

I will try to post the video of our reunion at Flor's house. It was so funny, it looked like we were all drunk, LOL.. Bye for now..

Melle said...

Yes Mildred. The boomerang was photogenic. I hope you can learn and enjoy to play with it, just follow the instructions. Maybe you can teach us in San Diego, I can bring some more.

It was good to see Ruth present at the reunion. Kahit may problem siya with coverage at work, she really did her best to be there. That is so sweet Ruth, I give you 10 stars for that! Of course to the rest, 10 stars din! Thank you for making this spirit of bonding and friendship alive in our hearts even though we are separated by distance. Let's make this mini-reunion a tradition as we journey on. Grab every bonding opportunity so that as we grow older we learn to know more about each other and learn to love each other like real family.

Thanks Melle and Mildred. Melle, we're just a phone call away, whenever you decide to come and visit, call anytime, you're very welcome.
Mildred, you're very welcome too. It was a pleasure to have most of us get-together again. Like you said, hope there will be another time when we're all present. thanks for posting our pics, I hope everybody really had fun. Thanks for everybody who came, we all made it happen, me and my family were just the hosts, but it was a good team effort, together with the husbands who drove and tolerated the craziness, esp. in taking pics with each one's cameras.

oddie said...

Ruth C. said...

Oddie, maybe sa next reunion 2010 I can bring some Maryland blue crabs since I will be going directly from Maryland to San Diego..We will see..

Mildred, I have been busy working kaya I have not posted any comment yet re: your video/slideshow..Ang ganda!! Thanks for posting our pictures!! Magaling ka ng talaga!! Sa iyo nga pala ang next na get-together in 2009, maybe between June and Aug ulit, ano? What do you think? You still have many months to think about it..:):):)

Melle, I will not miss the get-together if I can..Maraming mami-miss pag hindi ako nagpunta..
Kaya I try really hard to attend..

Melle said...

Naku Ruth, that adds another reason not to miss the 2010 reunion, magdadala ka pa ng blue crabs. Sarap talaga....

You are all very pretty, healthy and happy in the photos. At mukha din iniinggit niyo kami sa female crabs na may close up view pa. hehehe!

oddie said...

Ruth, di bale, forgiven ka na for not bringing blue crabs sa Foster City...Sa 2010, pwede ba na aside from blue crabs, soft shellcrabs din???? isama mo na rin ang lobsters, scallops, oysters, clams and the Little Mermaid...LOL

chato francisco said...

Mildred,well done.All the pictures came out beautiful and of your music too.Ninang Oddie we tried not to miss any reunion,ang saya-saya kasi.Memories to keep while we can.Melle happy ka na kasi I can blog now.

Mildred said...

I am happy too Chato that you can blog now.All we have to do is to encourage Cecile and Lele to do the same. That is our mission!!!

Did you like your solo picture? You were eating sweet corn and I said to myself, "I need to take this shot" and so I did.Oh, we had such a ball those 2 days!!

Mildred said...

Oh, I forgot Mahgene and Tess. We need to encourage them to blog too, not as readers only.

Hey Chat, just open the site and so great to see you blogging! Congratulations and Hello there Mahgene, Lele, Ruth and Mey, kailan naman kayo mag-blog? Failed to see you at San Francisco, alam ninyo naman naiwan ako ng barko sa pinas. California is a real gift to me. I hope I shall have the chance to see you next time. Hanggang talangka lang kami dito eh....

chato francisco said...

MILDRED,kitang-kitang ang katakawan ko,the corn was really very sweet.Maybe next year we'll have another reunion.Hopefully complete na tayo by then.

Ruth C. said...

Yes, Chato, reunion ulit tayo next year and kina Madam ex-Pres Mildred ang target natin..Anong say mo, Mildred? Napasubo na kita:):):):)

oddie said...

Ruth, sama kami from West Coast pag reunion kina Ex chairman Mildred.....don't forget all of us here, ok? LOL
Mildred, when is the reunion at your house??? Para maka request na ako ng vacation....LOL

chato francisco said...

Mildred,don't worry we will help you organize our reunion so the West
Coast group can come and join us,mas masaya iyon.We have a long way to go.O ANO OK LANG ba sa iyo.

oddie said...

Mildred, granted na ang vacation requests namin dito sa West Coast, kailan ba kami lilipad to go to your house for the minireunion? I think yoong mga taga Texas ready na rin as well as mga taga Florida.....Sino pa ba ang hindi nasabihan???? Mildred, gusto mo magdala ako ng sedative para sa iyo??? LOL Yoong taga Australia and Philippines naka stand-by na rin....OK KA LANG BA, MILDRED???

Mildred said...

I am just reminding you guys that the Psychiatric Center in our house is just nearby and I have a live-in Doctor so all of you should behave and be prim and proper, LOL..

oddie said...

Mildred, o sige, mag check-in muna kami sa Psych Center nearby your house, then, tutuloy kami sa house niyo.....like what time????? LOL

Melle said...

Oddie, pakisama mo naman ako sa pagbook niyo. I am going too, behaved naman tayo at always prim and proper. Let me know the date para makarequest ako ng vacation at makakuha ng mag cocover sa akin dito.

Ruth C. said...

Mildred, kailangan mo na bang magpa-counsel sa live-in Psych doctor dahil sa stress ng pressure to have the next mini reunion sa iyo? Buti ka pa may doctor agad na available to prescribe the medicine to de-stress you...LOL...

Mildred said...

There is no stress at all. You guys can come to my humble house anytime but preferably during the apple picking season so we can have a good time in the orchard.Our house is so small that we made the Psychiatric Hospital as our extension. I hope you don't mind that? We can also go to the historical mansions nearby and to the home of our former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Ruth, our house is far, it will take you 5-6 hours to get here.Hotels in the area are very expensive and it should be booked in advance, far advance!! Don't worry, just like Oddie, you can book in the Psychiatric ward which I highly recommend because of excellent service and approved by the American Psychiatric Association.

After my house then it is going to be your house, right Ruth?

Melle said...

Oddie, wag mo na ako isama sa booking, denied ang request ko for vacation. LOL

Manongdo said...

Melle we must have the same staffing coordinator, he also denied mine. may kasamang sermon pa. But I don't listen to them, so Mildred just say the time and date baka makapuslit ako or call in sick na lang. LoL. Sara and Lewang sama kayo na rin, call in sick narin.

oddie said...

O sige, samasama together kayo ha??? don't forget Psychiatric hospital ang check in natin! LOL

Mildred said...

You are all so funny, that is the reason why you need to be evaluated for any mental ailments, LOL...

Ruth C. said...

Mga menopausal (men-oppose-al) moments yan...Hormonal imbalance:):):):)..Sometimes manic, other times depressed..Kailangan talaga ng meds to balance..Magpa-appointment na tayo sa Psych doctor--first come first serve ba, Mildred? Ano ba ang wait list time? LOL...
