Hi girls, sorry if di kaau clear nga pictures akong gi used coz all i have is our yearbook :) anyway I got inspired to do this because of our upcoming reunion. I am using the song Wind Beneath My Wings, one of our graduation song. Hopefully sa reunion somebody would sing "Best of Friends". I'll make a better video next time.

Door Prizes
*Calling for door prize sponsors 
Cheryl Racho-Newsom (email her at cheng_newsom@yahoo.com) is heading the Special Committee for Door Prizes for girls residing outside the country. She is calling for other sponsors who are willing to contribute inorder to purchase the following Victoria Secret products online so that we can take advantage of the free shipping if we make $100 purchase:
On the other hand, I am contributing these to the door prizes too:
I just took a picture of the box coz I don't want to open it.
Another set of lotion and body wash in a bag.
Hershey's chocolates and more. I'll take photos of the other door prizes next time.
It is honestly more convenient to have other door prizes in cash. You may send the cheque to Sandra Salburo or any contact in the Philippines who will attend the reunion---just a special request, let the committee know in advance. Thank you so much girls and let the goods coming!
Expanding our network
*Please pass the word about our reunion to your network of USC GHS Girls especially if we don't have them in our network. Thanks so much.
The best way to ensure a higher attendance to our reunion is by expanding our network---further than we already have. Add to it, a touch of personalized invitation and of course, the sincere desire to know how our batchmates are.
In my case, I was looking for Claire Gardones in particular---who was just hidden somewhere in the Friendster accounts of USC Girls who were not in my network. The last time I was in touch with Claire, was way back the summer after our graduation. That time, we were writing to each other while she was home in Bukidnon and I was home in Cebu City. Our correspondence ended that summer and life rolled by so fast. I never knew she went to Velez College! And...that's only few blocks from USC Main where I was...not to mention, it's just in the same city! So, imagine my surprise and joy that she's in Brooklyn, NYC! Wow. I did not expect that.
We decided to meet yesterday in St. Francis of Assisi church at 31st Street, near Madison Square (really...I have this conviction that USC Girls are spiritual). It was surreal! The last time was we were in highschool...and here we are... 13 years have passed... but as if it was just yesterday...coz the last day we met in high school simply connects itself to our now...and bam!--she's exactly the Claire that I knew then, and I'm the Oliva she calls Bai---but only with a longer hair!
So, here are the pictures that affirms my strong conviction that our reunion is worth all the time, effort and money we put into it: *grin*

Inside Manhattan Mall
In 34th Street near Macys.
Sbarro for dinner in 7th Avenue across Madison Square.
Ahh yes...I've convinced Claire to sponsor a door prize & that we'll do a videoclip together...and that to be able to find and feel loved is a priceless experience she should not forego without having. *wink*
