The St. Luke's Daughters of Nightingale 1978 is a weblog for the 1978 graduates of St. Luke's - Trinity College of Nursing in Quezon City, Philippines. It is a forum to post messages, thoughts and photos. It has been 30 years since we said our goodbyes and stepped out of the Cathedral doors, strong in our ideals and ready to take on the poor in health and poor in spirit as Florence Nightingale did more than a century ago. It's been 30 years too long. We have some catching up to do!
The Class of 1978
Coming Up...
The next biannual St. Luke's - Trinity College of Nursing reunion is scheduled for July 4th weekend in Foster City, California. Class of 1978 celebrates 30 years. Check out the St. Luke's Alumni Nursing Foundation website for details: http://www.slanfusa.org/
Spin-off mini-reunions among former classmates in the West and East coasts have already begun. Additional schedules will be posted here soon!

Dear Friends,
I am sharing with you some of our pics shot at the Montemar Beach Club, Morong, Bataan. The family treated the Castro clan to a trip to the beach for his children graduated from college. Ganito na ako ngayon....51 na naman ako eh...Thanks everybody and looking forward to seeing you..
P.S"his" refers to kuya, kuya's children graduated from their respective degrees. And hayaan na ninyong ipagyabang ko sila. His boy from aircraft degree plus aircraft pilot and his girl, from medicine. And I am very proud of them...
Hey Ms Julie, looked like you had a wonderful vacation in Bataan..Last time I was there was during my high school years. The nun who was our principal then, is/was from Morong Bataan ( don't know if she is still alive) , and we stayed in her house overnight and went to a beach resort too the next morning.
Congratulations to your family! Yeah, be proud of them!!! I am, dahil they are my kababayans, even if I don't know them personally!!!!
Julie, you looked so good in your blue bathing suit and matching blue headband. The pink frizz bee touching the sand and wonderful smile and playful attitude were so inviting!!! Way to go girl, enjoy your life, you deserved it. The scenery looked so lovely, that makes me think of visiting the Philippines in the near future.
Thank you for sending these pictures. You still looked the same, the years haven't age you a bit. That wonderful smile of yours will keep you young and vibrant to face whatever life may bring. You are a role model for all of us!!
Oddie, thank you for the wonderful forwards. I liked the new prison in the U.K. AND YOUR COMPARISON BETWEEN PRISON AND WORK. Very funny indeed. I am looking forward to more funny articles like this. I am expecting one before lunch and one before I go to bed for my entertaining pleasure. Thanks!
Julie, thanks for sharing your beach photos, looks like you had an enjoyable summer outing with family. There is nothing like it!
Congratulations and best wishes to the fresh graduates!
Mildred, I am so glad I am providing good entertainment for you..will continue to do so...i think your entertainment should be my ministry??
Dear Friends,
Finally, nakapag-post din ako ng my most recent pics. (Nagka-digital shots din ako courtesy of my niece.) Maganda ang beach doon and honestly hindi ko pa nga na-explore the places outside Montemar for the place itself is so relaxing, a real work of mother earth. In the morning, I just collect shells. Kapag nag-swim sa beach kasama namin ang mga fishes, squids and crabs; hindi na kailangang mag-snorkeling. Such beauty of the sea. And siempre kapag nandiyan na ang mga dikya..takbo na sa pampang.. Thank you for all your warm messages. Oddie, it would be a thrill to me to experience the waters of San Diego. Thanks a lot for noticing my headband, Mildred. You got an eye for something in a person, beyond what the person seems to be. My blue headband ay pang-hawi ko ng buhok kapag under the sea. Yap, Melle, nothing beats a holiday with the family. And that is my big, big wish to have a holiday in America with my family. China is no fun visiting without the family. Enjoy if the family is around, lalo na sa bayaran! LOL!
Julie do not forget to bring these pictures during our reunion because we will continue to make our scrapbook at Sarah's place. Each and everyone of us will make a page of their family for the scrapbook...You look great. When you told us that you look very skinny, I felt sad..."akala ko masyado kanang payat"...You look wonderful to me in the pics. "Mabuti kapa nakakapag bathing suit pa...meron naman ipapakita...hihihhihihi"
I have never been to Bataan...I hope someday when I get a chance I could visit beautiful places from North to South of the PI.
Just a reminder for all the ladies who will coming to the reunion to not forget to bring your old picture from college if you have one and family pictures you want to place on your scrapbook page...
Sorry...I have been out of touch for awhile...I am back now...
Veron, what happened to you? busy ka nanaman sa Korean soap mo ano?
Mildred, no entertainment ka this morning,baka this pm mayroon na akong maiforward...
Julie, same with Veron,akala ko skinny ka pero tama lang your body size...that is good! Dito sa SD, di pa ako nag swimming sa dagat, kasi can not stay under the sun...medyo di kami vibes ng sun dahil sa mga facial tx na ginagamit ko...hanggang tingin na lang ako, under the shade pa....pag gardening nga, sa evening ako lumalabas most of the time..even with SPF 40 sunblocker I burn....
Enjoy akong mag-post kasi pics ko. In my first pic, my nephew and nieces are with me. Guapo at guwapa nila ano, siempre padrino. I love all my pamangkins very much. They are such gifts. Second pics, is moi na tinabunan ng sand ng mga bata. Third pics are with my maternal cousins.They are good cousins. Happy ako kasi nakapag-post ako ng pics! At last! Yap Veron, I will do as you say with much love.
Oddie,hindi naman...busy lang ako sa kakaisip kung paano ko maalis itong bilbil at taba sa aking mga braso. Dahil itong gown ko sa reunion ay ginamit ko last year. Nakupoooo...anong nangyari sa akin at para naman akong suman? Ayaw kunang bumili pa ng iba...Kaya naglalakad naman ako tuwing hapon sa park or sa avenue and boulevard sa town namin...mga 2 miles...masasakit na nga ang mga buto-buto ko sa paa dahil matanda na...ahhhhhh...arthritis na ata ito. Nag join din ako ng Dahn Yoga for breathing and relaxation...First week palang ako.
Medyo OK na ang attitude ko about my "very healthy body" hehehehehe...panay ang stretch namin for 60 mins...walang impack sa mga joints ko kaya OK lang. Pero, puro matatanda ang mga kasama ko... hahahahaha...talagang matanda na tuloy ang feelings ko. Pareho na lahat kami ang nararamdaman.
Julie, sana may lugar pa itong scrapbook sa maleta mo dahil akiw ang magdadala nito sa St. Luke's Hospital. I heard that there is a room for alumni "memorabilia?". So if possible "Paki" nalang...
So good to be back...Love yah...
Veron,good job, walking is a good form of exercise and also good for the heart. As I was telling you guys before, our bodies are aging, therefore we need to do something about it to prevent more aches and pains in the future. I am so proud of you Veron, if you are consistent in your regimen, your body will get adjusted to your exercises. Later on , you will feel more relaxed, energized and pain free.Then you can proudly wear your old gown again.
You can visit me in my office once a week ,free of charge of course since you belong to the DAUGHTERS OF NIGHTINGALE CLUB..
LOL...
beauty ka pa rin julie.bumabata ang beauty mo.no one will know that your 51 cuz you just look like 26 a year older than me.
congratulations to the new grad.April is done with school in april and will also be graduating this month.she took her R.N. board 2weeks ago and passed.she is now looking for a job
veron thanks for the reminder in bring family pictures for the scrap book.dont be too hard on yourself about losing those extra# cuz like what oddie said"it's what in your heart that counts"
Hello Cristina! Nice to see you in the blog! Yap I will bring my pics, old and new for the scrapbook. Masaya ito. Then and Now. Ganito Kami Noon, Heto Na Kami Ngayon! My heartfelt Congratulations to April! I am looking forward to seeing her! Namana ba ang pang-model height ng nanay...The last time I saw her, she is a beauty. Congratulations April! More, congratulations Teta and Leo..(tama ba ako hindi ba Leo pangalan ng bf mo, tapos mali pala)
Sure Veron, there is always room for the Daughters Class 1978. And I will make sure na ibabandera nila iyan sa College!
Veron, good that you are walking in preparation for the gown event! pero huwag mo dibdibin, kasi we can always wear pants with a kinda formal blouse, ok na iyon. Exercise is always good, I'm slacking on that too! but always think that we all will not see or scrutinize your body or what you are wearing, we will see our classmate Veron, the one we've known 30 yrs ago. The images of who we were and who we are now will be the same...if the old gown does not fit, am pretty sure that you have black pants in your closet and a frilly top to wear...Melle, this is also the answer to your question re: if we really have to wear a gown? the answer is NO! the last reunion I attended in San Pedro, some were wearing pants with nice tops. So wear something you will be comfortable in, kasi am pretty sure you will be going from one table to another, kissing and hugging, saying your hellos....
Make sure you bring under arm deodorant and perfume.LOL.just kidding
Thanks Oddie.
Julie, it looks like you put on weight from the time I saw you last. But you still look good, I think even better. You must have enjoyed the halo-halo with ube ice cream and leche flan this summer!
Yap Melle, I put on some weight from the last time you saw me. Ang payat ko noon, ano. For in a way I have recovered from sadness and grief over my mother's leaving. Ganoon pala ang grief, sadness and loss. It is my first time to experience such emotional pains and I wouldn't wish on anybody. My father passed away 22 years ago and I am very over it. But up to now that yucky feelings are still there; terrible feelings and I wouldn't wish on anybody. Even my cardiologists noticed it and told me, "it seem you have recovered from your depression". Yap. You know ladies the secret to the fastest way to lose weight? Lasix or diuretics. But I wouldn't recommend it for it is not good. If I feel heavy I take it 2x a day even 3x. It is advised to me once a day. If I just do a no salt diet then I don't take Lasix; pinapahinga ko naman ang aking kidneys. Bugbog na ako sa drugs!
Julie, where is the tarpaulin, akala ko you will post it sa blog???? para makita ng lahat kung gaano tayo kagaganda!LOL
ODDIE, MAYBE NATUTULOG PA SI JULIE, REMEMBER, GABI SA PILIPINAS NGAYON.OKAY, JULIE, WE WILL LET YOU HAVE A BEAUTY REST FIRST, THEN WHEN YOU ARE COMPLETELY RESTED, YOU CAN POST THE TARPAULIN IN THE BLOG.
YOU REALLY DID A WONDERFUL JOB, JULIE. THANKS FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS....
Wala pong anuman, Chairman Mildred. I am very happy to do it for our magnificent at talagang magnificent and intelligent class kasi we are the first biggest batch with the largest numbers of accepted enrollees. Tapos all of us passed the board exam with flying colors kaya 100% board passers ang Trinity. Now, ewan ko lang.
Flor Bolos or Joy lampa? 4th row looking to a different camera?katabi ni Pinky Ligon. This must be pinning ceremony March 1978? Look at Susan staring at Mrs. Acosta. Thank-you Julie for including me in the nice picture.We can super impose Veron's face in the background so we can pretend she was there. Who and how can anybody remember that shw wasn't there. LOL.
