Chuchi Estanislao

I didn't have to find Chuchi deliberately. We met somewhere in the late 90's. I learned that she studied in Italy for awhile and then worked in the Middle East.  When she decided to start  a family she moved to  Indonesia. Then decided to move back to the Philippines. 

Chi and I  managed to stay in touch with each other, in fact my daughter was  tutor to her sons for awhile. But  daughter realized Tita Chuchi's boys didn't really need it.
Although  we were not very, very close in high school, in recent years as adults,  we served as sounding boards to each other. Over the phone, or over fast food meals,  we endlessly spoke about personal issues, ways to make money for our respective families, potential business ventures, etc. Although there were episodes of misunderstanding, we were able to get through it and stayed as friends.

Vangie, as I knew her became a nurse and served in the AFP Nurse Corps for awhile. Today, she heads her own manpower service company and travels from time to time between the Philippines and the Middle East. We had the chance to talk in November, last year. I was trying to invite her to attend one of our batch meetings. I also extended the invitation to our grand alumni homecoming in Dec 4, 2010. I am sure she wanted to but unfortunately, previous commitments prevented her from going. As there will be many more batch meet-up opportunities, we shall be looking forward to meeting you again, batchmate, Mona.
