Xavier Alumni were treated to the extravagant Golden Jubilee Celebration at the new sports center in the Xavier School campus. In attendance were batches from the 1960s up to the 2000s. And performing to the delight of the crowd (especially celebrating batch ‘81) were the Orange & Lemons, Itchy Worms, Barbie Almalbis, Sponge Cola, Parokya ni Edgar (lots of screaming girlies!!) , and the one and only APO HIKING SOCIETY (they were awesome!!).
But I ate using a pair of fishball sticks as chopsticks. They ran out of spoons & forks.
And while I didn’t win any of the raffle items (the Toyota Vios, 1 year Gold’s Gym membership, and trips to HK and Taiwan).. I got to bring home 100 pesos in cash having been so generously given from a gentleman from the very happy and very energetic batch 1981. (He happens to be a friend of Arch. Bronne Dytoc my former professor and Animersion colleague.) I had (tried) to do a caricature of the man and did fairly well even without having him sit down and stay put. Many thanks.
Met Gary Quiec, Kingsley Tan from section D. Alemberg Ang, Jan Yang, Brian Llanos Dee, Russel Tan from the other sections. Marco Andaya also went, though I didn’t see him. So FEW!! Our 1995 batchmates have apparently gone abroad or are too occupied for XS nostalgia. I myself would probably skip the next one due to the dismal attendance of my batchmates!
