Vicky Castro is on a brief visit from the United States

Vicky Castro today
Vicky Castro gave me a call the day we were supposed to kibitz at the Batch69 Mini Reunion at Josie Sy Ang's  home office building in Cubao, Quezon City.

She sounded so excited.  I was too,   finding out who the person on the other end was. What followed  was full of  high school like chatter, remembering classmates - where they are,   what its been like all those forty years absence from each others life..

And reminisce we did; picking up about each others children - how many, how old, married? where are they now? 

Today, Chuchi and I join her for lunch. 

With Chi
With nephew Jr and a little friend
Vicky and I

Goody was unable to come because of a previous appointment while  Doc Lu was also unable to join us, as she was at Polymedic for her hospital rounds. There were just three of us but the stories to tell were unending..

Once more with Chi
Vicky promised she will try to see us again after her trip to Surigao.

 Thanks so much Vicky! Till then!

Dati pa namin sya IDOL at di na marahil mababago ang paghanga namin sa kanya. Ang galing-galing mo, kamag-aral :-) Thanks to the Palanca website for this snippet. Please visit their site here .

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.
