Notes from Homecoming

The alumni homecoming celebration was grand, thanks to this year's sponsor Batch 1983. Old Swiss Inn catering, Conti's desserts, lechon baka, and bottomless beer were all around. Seven years left and it's my batch's turn. Yikes!

MS mentioned that he and his family have submitted an application for Canadian citizenship. *SIGH* Another contribution to the country's braindrain. He said that the turning point of their decision to migrate was that they believe there will be a small possibility for his children to get a job in the Philippines since he may have felt that he's not going to see any improvement in the country.

RC mentioned that JS, our gay-turned-guy-turned-gay batchmate is now in communication with him again, mentioning that JS now has a dog similar to that of Paris Hilton's. Greeeat.

***

The Dawn was the main act in the program, singing their vintage tunes such as Enveloped Ideas, Salamat, and others. My jaw dropped when they did a rendition of the U2 anthem With or Without You which they performed to a T. I won't be surprised if The Dawn will be dubbed as the U2 of the Philippines in the future.

***
At the back-end of the venue was the DBUFC booth, with its spanking new logo. I saw my old co- players and they mentioned that the group is now regularly playing in DB-Makati football field again. Perhaps all the rehab needed for the field has been completed. I guess it's time to get my football gear out from the cabinet and start playing again.

This Saturday, to be exact (grin).
