Mr. Cesar Sta. Maria wrote: "Dear chona and to all active members of the NHS On-line Community website (and enthusiasts). Our latest homecoming reunion held in my humble residence has brought lots of memories and testimonies about life's ups and downs. Needless to say I was overwhelmed with your presence and participation in this once in a life time activity. Thanks for coming and hope to have more of the similar event to come in the future. Very truly yours, Mr.Santa Maria"

Sooo, the Christmas Party went okay. It was well-attended by our dear teachers:
Mr Cesar Sta Maria, Mr Edgardo Dancel, Mrs Resurreccion, Mr. Fegalquin, Mrs. Ual, Mrs. Extra

It was an awesome moment where I finally met in person our very active nhsoc friends like Missy My, Thess Bajandi, Sweet Bebe (with her extremely generous hubby), fliK, Glockman, Eraserhead (although he had to leave early), Monjels, Evu, Manny Ison, Jun Bilaw, Ariele, Spandau, and so many others.

It's nice to meet my batchmates (74) Edith Alix-Magat and Mer Camagay Jr; and my idols of Batch 73; Ike and Beyot Calicdan, Ellen Morales-Gnanathurai, Eddie Alix and his brother, Tony Alix (Batch 82)

There was so much food last night, thanks very much for those who brought a dish or two.

How kind of Mr. Sta Maria to offer his place, the rooftop of his 3-floor house, which is perfect for the occasion. We had to clean up after the party kasi may another batch party na naman mamayang gabi! Gosh! it looks like it will be a permanent party venue for nhsoc alumni, yes, that's how accommodating Mr Sta Maria is. Thank you very much sir!

p.s. though i was not feeling very well last night, I had to give in to the insistence of fliK and Glockman, who came to collect me from my house, with the special participation of our celebrity-lookalike Missy My! I only planned to stay there for an hour pero nung makita ko sila'ng lahat, na-excite na rin ako and i ended up staying till the closing hours. It was well worth the trip!

I love you all, guys!"

All i could say is that the party was a huge success kahit na marami ang hindi nakarating. The party ended at exactly 12 midnight, parang cinderella style.


Janette "Sweet Bebe" Ellso-Espinosa Batch 85:
"Merry Christmas to all!!! ANG SAYA-SAYA NG PARTY. over flowing ang foods and gifts...I finally met Ate Shirley na napakabait and si Kuya Mer na kamukha talaga ni Vic Sotto. Kaso dito sa online ang kulit pero sa personal panay lang ang ngiti, parang mahiyain... Of course nandun si Ate Edith saka si Ate Arielle na recognized agad ako pag pasok ko...Si Kuya G na poging-pogi at panay ang kuha ng pictures, parang ang dami kong kuha Kuya G hehehe....Nandun din sila Kuya Ike and Ate Beyot and ung Alix brothers and si Ate Thess na naka short, ang cute-cute.
