PHOTO 1991

I had this photo for a meal ticket id. I liked the result so i asked for a copy for my file. Originally this was develped junion size and was stuck in one of my old wallets with other photos. The ugly marks on the sides shows that this photo is already old (non digital camera days)

Congratulations Girl!

March 21, 2010, Dimple's class (Phoenix 2o10), marched down the aisle on their graduation day. Their class got 37 pupils with Carlo Kurt leading as the President. Their Vice President religious is Showers and their VP Social is Shawn. She and Pia are the secretaries. I guess i need to have their batchbook so that i can enumerate all the officers of their class.

Their speakers are as follows: Consecration - Pastor Algier Ravelo, Head Chaplain of Mindanao Sanitarium and Hospital. Baccalaureate - Pastor Wilson C. Catolico, the Executive Secretary of South Philippine Union Conference of Seventh-Day Adventist. Commencement Speaker - Dr. Queruela, the Asst. Education Director of South Philippine Union Conference of SDA.

The seniors were emotional as some of them did not enjoy the picture taking after the recessional because they right away retreated to their classroom to cry. hehehe One uncle even joked that they were crying in happiness like they graduated from a masters course.

Dimple led the class in singing their consecration song. Then Saturday morning, Sabbath school time, she gave the Secretary's thought. I wished she memorized her part by heart. I did not like it much she was half reading, half memorizing her speech. She also sang with company several times that day. She gave me a bouquet of yellow roses. Not just me actually. All of them gave a bouquet of roses to the mommies and corsage to the fathers.

Dimple looks so happy on graduation day. She was all smiles before and and during the recessional. But as the hub mellowed, she then felt very tired. Tired yet she looked forward to the bonding time with her classmates. She had lunch with Lexie and for the afternoon until evening, they spent time at Pia's house.

Dimple got 4 medal awards. All gold. I was one proud mom that day. Not just day but everyday because am thankful I have a daughter like her. :) She got a gold for academics, for the SPUC Achievement Test, another for consistency, and one from the Mayor of Iligan City.

I still did not have a formal graduation pic with her. Possibly we will do it on Tuesday - after the busyness here in the office will be over.

This is a photo of me (sitting) and helen (chinese girl) and Liza (the smaller one) at the height of SARS in China. We don't look stressed up but we should be because our contract has just been cut due to the closure of schools. But even then our stress was paid off when we were given the chance to just stay to be able to find work. Indeed when the SARS scare was over, Liz and I were employed right away though in separate companies. Liz worked for the # 1 Hospital in Shizhiazhuang while i worked for English Campus. Thanks to Helen and family for all the support.

This photo was taken in 2003 at Helen's Home, Shizhiazhuang City, Hebei Province, PR China.

FPF # - Highschool Batch Book Photo

Hosted by Alicia at More than Words

This was my highschool batchbook photo. Taken in March 1990.

I don't like my lips here. They looked so thick. My dentures were just put on a month before graduation and my mouth is still getting used to it. Dentures at 16? Yeah i had 3 upper front false teeth. My hair was really straight unlike now that they show its natural wave.

I am going to keep this photo because 4 years from now, my daughter will also have her year book or batch book photo taken and i will try to compare it.
