65 Tungo sa ating Reunion

September 25, 2007

Ang bilis ng panahon —- parang hinihila patungo sa araw ng ating pagkikita.

Balikan natin ang mga araw ng mga pagpaplano at paghahanda sa mataas na paaralan ng UP Diliman — limampung taong singkad and nakaraan.

Ang ating pangulo, si G. Ernesto Marcelo, na walang kahalintulad sa pakikisama at pagkamaalalahanin sa kanyang mga kamag-aral kabilang ang ilang naririto sa Pilipinas — Lillian, June, Delai, Carmen, Nonoy Buncio, Rody Bagabaldo, Sandy, Abay, Oca, sampu ng inyong lingkod, ay walang inaksayang oras upang ang pagtitipong ito ay maging masaya, makabuluhan at lakip alaala sa ating natitirang panahon sa daigdig na ating ginagalawan.

Sa ating mga kamag-aral na nasa ibayong dagat, hangad namin na masiyahan kayo na madala sa Pilipinas and inyong ngayon ay tunay ninyong tahanan. Huwag sana ninyong panghinayangan inyong pagparito. at sa ating mga kamag-aral na naiwan sa ating bayan, hangad din namin na kayo ay sumaya sa pakikipagkita sa mga kaibigan, katoto, na matagal na nawalay sa ating mga paningin.

Palaisipan sa atin ang madalumat — ano nga ba ang tagumpay? Sino ang mga nag-aangkin noon? Sinikap ng gruppo na maging pantay-pantay ang pagsasaalang-alang sa damdamin ng bawa’t isa, ng lahat ng ating mga kamag-aral na nagdulot ng galak at siphayo kung meron man sa ating bubot na mga kaisipan. Sa katotohanan, lahat kayo, tayo ay matatawag natin na tagumpay sa ating narating sa buhay. Sinong pantas ang makapagsasabing hindi tayo tagumpay? Sa gulang nating ngayon, ano pa ang ating mahihingi? — ano pa ang ating mairereklamo? Sabihin na lang natin, naging mabait at umayon sa atin ang pagkakataon kaya tayo ngayon ay nasa ating kalalagyan.

Sadyang hindi natin tayo ay mapagpantay-pantay tulad ng ating mga daliri na hindi rin magkakasinghaba, kaya sa mga inabot ng magandang kapalaran at naabot kanilang mga pangarap, ang aming pagbati, pagmamalaki; sa mga karaniwan at lalo na sa mga hindi umalis ng ating bayan at dito ipinagpatuloy, ibinuhos ang kanilang mga kakayahan, binabati din naming kayo sa tagumpay ng buhay.

Maraming salamat sa pagkakataong ating hinihintay dumating, gintong bahagi ito sa ating buhay!

Brenda’s Visit

Our dear classmate from the south Dr. Brenda Demerre-Lopez visited us here in Manila. She planned to stay a few days but the unpredictable skies somehow advised her to extend a few more days.

Last Monday (August 6, 2007), the courageous Core Group Lillian, Carmen Purita with guest Brenda braved the weather and went to Sonya’s Garden in Tagaytay. On our way back, we dropped by the Adventist University of the Philippines in Silang, Cavite. This is a very nice campus, with big trees and a community in itself, reminiscent of the good ol’ UP days. We visited the friend and soon to be boss of Dra. Brenda Lopez. Now retired from the government, she plans to be part of the post graduate academic panel of the University.

Tuesday (August 7, 2007) – it’s now time for the other brave girls to lamierda about in the rain. Guess where they went… the Manila Seedling Bank, to watch plants, greens and blooms and maybe buy some to satisfy themselves. They are June, Delai, Lillian and of course Brenda, our horticulturist-doctor.

Places to Stay Inside UP Campus

Hi classmates! Just in case staying inside the university is one of your plans, you may take a look at the following places they offer.

The UP Balay Internasyonal, located at Guerrero corner Dagohoy Streets, houses the Balay Kalinaw, where seminars are held, and the Kapit-Balay, a 4-story walk-up apartment building where accomodations range from studio to two-bedroom apartments. There is also the University Hotel (formerly UP-PCED), where rooms range from Standard to Excecutive Suite. These venues are conveniently located near the University Arcade and the UP Co-operative Store.

You can visit the UP Office of Alumni Relations for more information. You may also proceed to our site here.
