UPDATE: Accounting for transparency reasons

Hi people, I emailed the updated directory and the accounting of reunion expenses to all those who gave me their email addresses.

As for the rest:
According to our finance chair J.J. (kita nyo naman sa picture ang pangangareer sa kanyang designation) the total contributions went to Php53,800.00; but in view of his persistent extortion (hahaha, meaning, yung mga kinita sa pa-meeting cum inuman) the total money went to Php55,500.00;

The reunion's expenses reached Php44,064.90, to wit: Streamers/Tarps, Xerox, Others 3,000.00; Villa Milla Venue & Beers- 26,520.00; T-Shirts- 6,000.00; Dinner (with Carlo and Brian pagkatapos magpawis sa house to house)- 600.00; Pica Pica at Villa Mila- 1,782.50; Prices - c/o Pamela 1,000.00; LCCD - DBC 1,300.00; Ms. Bantayog 2009 Tickets (considered as prizes)- 2,000.00; Games (cash prizes)- 700.00; Ballpens for the games- 122.40; Xerox- 140.00; Food - Golden Palace 400.00; Projector rent (oh well, me rent daw sabi ng community affairs office)- 500.00.

I just converted the "NOON at NGAYON" powerpoint presentation, which was earlier shown at the reunion, to a movie file. See our old and new pictures and our highschool yearbook at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXWZON5sRGA

Thanks to Benjamin Lamiel and his ingenious website http://lccd94.com/ where I got all the scanned yearbook pictures, and to Cherry Jariel-Rojano and Raymond Aquino for the dorky pictures. Sorry, walang audio kasi minadali, hehe.

Happy viewing!

Re: Parade/Motorcade and Reunion proper

(BY MITA)
April 11, 2009 is gonna be a long day...

Parade assembly time is 7:30 a.m. at La Consolacion College. We can just walk wearing our batch shirts or bring cars with streamers. Tentative route is from LCCD to Mercury then left to Hotel Dolor, then left from Jollibee to the other bridge and back to Laco. We will have DBC and majorettes and police escorts and some kids with us. Hopefully, if we can tap radio groups CANORA or Xtreme (c/o HAJEL DAMES) mas ok.

Reunion is at Villa Mila Garden Resort from 3pm to 10pm. We'll have a little program care of Tats, Raymond, Joy, Pammy and Jonathan, pica pica and supper. Corkage for wine is Php100 per bottle. We'll see if we can arrange transportation for those who live in other towns.

Please confirm by text at 09174468339 if you're attending both the parade and reunion. See you!

UPDATE: FINALLY, Our venue: Villa Mila Garden Resort



(BY MITA)
Peeps, I think we should make my parents honorary members of the batch, who, despite their pressing work: canvassed for three venues, made reservations, helped me out with the projector and for having volunteered to follow up the advertisement on radio, hehehehe....

Ang kwento kasi, JOHANN'S place at Daet (which he earlier volunteered) wont be available anymore on April 11 coz his relatives are coming over. We can't settle for their Labo residence kasi malayo for most of us.

This pm, my mom and pop called to tell me that they canvassed at Bel-air, Central Plaza and Villa Mila. After several discussions, they had Villa Mila Garden Resort reserved for our reunion on April 11, 2009 at 3pm and deposited money (utang ko yan sa kanila). Villa Mila GArden resort and Conference Center is located at Vinzons Avenue, Daet Camarines Norte.. (landmark: in front of CN Water District and near Central Plaza). By the way, thank you to ERIC BASIT and LOURDES IBASCO for doing some canvassing too!

Finally, we can now send out advertisements, streamers and radio broadcasts... my cousin, HANS CAMU, per info of my uncle RICKY VILLAFUERTE, volunteered to have the streamers made. hay salamat... maaasahan talaga mga kamag-anak ko hehehe.

I would like to report to you that at Villa Mila's the amount involved is Php220/pax- this includes the venue, supper, tables and chairs, lights, sound system. There's a choice between pool side and function hall and I deem it best sa function hall para di tayo maulanan hehehehe. Besides, i doubt if anyone would go swimming.. The P220/pax is good for at least 50 persons (so, P220 x 50 is like 11,000.00), quota nila yan. We can add up to 100 persons but we have to inform them asap. Dinner consists of a choice of soup, fried chicken, a choice between fresh lumpia or buttered veggies; rice; and a choice between leche flan or fruits). Other package deals are pork so scrap na yan. We can bring additional food na picapica, so we can tap ALVIN for this.
Hindi pa kasama ang alcohol dyan. Php100 per bottle ang corkage... if ever we decide to bring wine...

Projector and LCD is care of my Mom... Ill try to prepare powerpoint presentation plus music. RICKY what do you think? Can u make a video editing or something? di ako marunong ng imaginate na program.. Nga pala, PLEASE GUYS, email naman kayo ng pictures natin kahit nung bata pa tayo... mga candid pics, whatever, send them to ricky_jan26@yahoo.com or mita_pb@yahoo.com.

As of today, nagconfirm si Joey delos Santos, so 40 people na ang aatend na sure. Err... our beloved FATHER JUVENSON ALARCON is asking to help out, he might not make it kasi busy sya sa Holy Week and he's assigned at Larap... Father baka naman pwede ka mahiram kahit one hour lang? (Yan kasi... tayo mga pasaway, Black Saturday pa nagschedule, hahaha.) The mails I sent courtesy of my Pop who mailed them, were all sent except yung kila Gemma Abejero, Noreen Patricio and Christopher Adano (Return to Sender).

Tuloy na tuloy ang motorcade. I texted Steve Efondo (Batch 95) na we'll join them.. Please coordinate with us if you're joining at kung magdadala ng sasakyan, if u need streamers do let me know. We are gonna wear t-shirts care of ERLIECK FACTOR. Its gonna be free basta punta lang kayo... Maybe we should just have 70 shirts ERLIECK? what say you?

Also, SUGGESTIONS please on what will we put on the streamers? and radio ad?
Something funky, sexy or cool... Like, "Kinse Anyos pero oragon na" ....... (parang baduy..). My Tito's batch theme goes like : "After 20 years: Gurang na pero Oragon pa rin.." Asteeeegggg!

Grabe nakakapressure. whew! Yung mga committees dyan, please helppppp. Nagtatampo na ako sa mga ine-email ko dyan ng updates, who are not responding.. not even texting. ..oy piso lang yan no.... PLEASE PLEASE confirm if you are attending or not.

I am still hopeful that everything will turn out well. Goodluck to us!

PS:

Our very own, ATTY. RAYMUNDO AQUINO is the guest speaker for the Highschool Commencement Exercises of La Consolacion College of Daet. We're so proud of you, panero!! Oha oha, oragon talaga... See you guys!

UPDATES: March 20, 2009 meet up at Quattro

(BY MITA)

First, let’s thank Tats, Raymond and J.J. for their unfaltering tenacity and dedication in this year’s reunion planning and organizing and most specially in collecting the contributions. You guys should know na cinareer ni J.J. (our talented bagman) ang pagiging finance chair.

So, again, for the 5th time (or is it the 6th na?), we: Pammy, Charles, Johann, Erlieck, Angelo, Oscar, Imee, Alfredo, J.J., Tats, Raymond and yours trulily, met up at (we abandoned Amici) Quattro Bar at Timog Avenue, Quezon City to finalize our plans. Me nang-indian na naman sa amin… Chester and Jonathan Jariel….. hmmm mukhang me sarili silang date…ahem.

That night, the generous Pammy, Charles and our Vice Chair, Erlieck already gave their minimum contributions of two thousand pesos each (err, Cathy and Chester, minimum lang raw yun dinonate nyo, baka gusto nyo raw dagdagan pa, hehehe). Previously, Alvin and Karen Abanilla already sent their conjugal contributions. Benjamin Lamiel and Myra Salamanca sent their respective contributions via my BPI account even if they’re not attending daw. Thanks to you guys!

We have thus far collected a total of twenty thousand plus (Php20,000.00 +).... which, by the way is a measly sum if we are expecting a hundred or more people. Kasi, I was hoping we could collect around Php50k so we can have revolving funds for the next reunion.

So, let’s reiterate…we need your contributions before this month ends.. more importantly, a confirmation of whether “aatend ba? or hindi?” kasi we need a headcount for the venue. As of March 20, 2009, thirty nine (39) persons have thus far confirmed attendance. We expect around fifty (50) more. Sana magparamdam na yung ibang cannot be reached…

I already sent letters by mail to some, whose last known addresses are only indicated in the high-school yearbook. Hopefully the letters already reached them this week.

So here’s what we have agreed thus far:--------------------------------------------------------

VENUE: is now a choice between the Daet (at the back of Capitol) or the Labo (Manlapaz Subdivision) residences of JOHANN RAMORES. He will have yet to confirm today which of the two… but its free hehehe. Same people will help JOHANN out –JAEMEEO!

FOOD and REFRESHMENTS: we are contracting out ALVIN’s catering business. But we need a headcount so please… confirm attendance asap.

CHAIRS and TABLES: TATS will ask around raw. TRISTAN, according to ANGELO has this party favors business, which he had yet to confirm. ANGELO will shoulder the balloons for the venue and the motorcade.

SHIRTS and PRINTING: ERLIECK is the man for this. 100 light blue shirts, with the printed “LCCD Batch ‘94” and “15 AÑOS NA” in front. Sizes are small, medium, large, and extra large. Please inform ERLIECK (09178551430) of your sizes within this week.

MOTORCADE: Well, according to RAYMOND, baka pwedeng sabay na lang tayo sa Batch 95 (Laribelle Rafer-Aquino’s batch). I have yet to contact the batch’s chairman. So please text me (09174468339), who amongst you are willing to join and to bring vehicles.. Medyo mainit so siguro sakay na lang lahat. Let’s ask ROBINSON VEGA and MARSHA HERNANDEZ-AQUILLER to help us out on this. Yung mga gusto magpagawa ng tarpaulin or streamers para sa cars nila, lagay nyo na lang mga name and titles nyo if any, more importantly, yung “LCCD Batch 94” in bold letters…

STREAMER, TV and RADIO ADS: TV ad is care of TATS and will be aired at ABS CBN New Channel (ANC). RADIO ad is via the DWCN-FM (Radyo ng Bayan), and I’ll be sending them the text of what will be aired soon as JOHANN confirms the venue. It will be aired weekly around 3x a week. I assigned RICKY and HANS for the streamers and my KUYA MELVIC is working on the design for the tarpaulin.

PRINTED DIRECTORY: We will be giving away printed contact booklets after the event so we can be closer….naks.

I think, the boys enjoyed the “Kampay! Kampay! inuman” and thus requested that the next meeting be held be on April 3, 2009, 7pm at Crocodile Grill, Greenbelt 3, Makati City. We’ll finalize all the plans and make sure everything is done by then. We’re expecting that JOYCE B., MYRNA, JEN, IVY, DANDIN, and MARY JOY will all be there. See you!

I’m thinking of holding a final meeting in Daet a few days before April 11, and please join us: RICKY, HANS, LOURDES, MARGIE, CHERRY, ALLAN, ALVIN, KAREN, JOJO, EUGENIO, LOUIE, and the rest of the committee members, so we can finalize everything. Thanks…

March 20, 2009 - Quattro, Timog

(PHOTOS and COMMENTS by TATS)


Just two weeks later, we met up yet again. It's CRUNCH Time!!!

See how serious Raymond and Mita are. Yep, it's no easy task putting a reunion together. And so we honor Mita, Raymond, JJ and all the rest who have been there all the time - sometimes not physically but they're always in touch.

Welcome Back to the Loop, Erlieck! =P

Oh, and guess who saw each other again?!?! How sweet =P

As requested, photo op by section.

CHARITY... Represent!

Hope, Obedience, Faith combined.


BUT Wait, may humabol pang Ms. Hope.

Imee & Charles

See you all again on Friday, April 3 in Makati. Wait for updates from Mita.

March 7, 2009 - Glorietta / Celebrity Sports

A little over a month later, we met up again. Yipee! Its fantabulous to see new faces!!!

Beautiful ladies: Jennifer and Mita


Desperation can sometimes lead you to do crazy things. In this case, we are in dire need of a few thousand bucks... a lot of it actually... to start this anniversary gig rolling.


So what do you do when you know that the classmates who made it possible for your section to win the "BOX" contest every October are in one place? And you've been sorta, kinda invited to drop by.

Well, you drive (at least the guys did) from Makati all the way to Quezon City.

The event, joint birthday party of Chester's kids.


The Girls:

Of course, hindi pahuhuli ang boys...

ALL Together Now!
