AOM Christmas Party 2007

Went to the AOM Christmas Party last Saturday, December 15, 2007. Joe Edward Rivera organized the said event courtesy of Jefferson Besas' pad at Lourdes Subdivision, Antipolo City. The party was supposed to start at 19:00. But, as expected from my classmates, they were late. Roel arrived at 20:00, making him the early bird. I followed at 20:05. That's about an hour and 5 minutes late yet I arrived too early as usual. Earvin, Edward, Matt, and Patrick followed at around 20:15, while Jeff, the host, arrived at 20:20. Joe Ed came at 20:30 and the rest is history (the gang followed, obviously).

Attendance are as follows:

1. Roel Capuno


2. Juan Paulo G. Gultiano

We all had fun. As expected, we ate and talked about each of our own lives: may it be love life, work, personal life, family. Name it, we talked about it. But the best part would have to be the speculation on what has happened to the other members of the AOM family. Haha.

For instance, what happened to Dennis Aglibot? He's the Math and Physics "Champion" of the class, plus he entered UP Diliman (BS-ECE). From what I've heard, he became so addicted to Ragnarok, he even slept at an internet cafe in Anonas. Is this true?

What about Mary Lou Garcia? Last thing I heard was she's attending the Meralco Foundation Institute in Ortigas Avenue, Pasig City. Mary Lou, are you there?

Eduardo Flores, our beloved adviser. What's he up to these days? I heard he's teaching in FEU-Main Morayta? My cousin, who hails from FEU, saw him a couple of years back. Is he still alive? Does he still do that "kaltok" thing?

Earvin commented on how I managed to grab a number of scoops from our classmates. I just shrugged it off thinking that all of those information were mere products of accidental meetings and just plain gossip. No one knows the real score other than the real person, right?

Whatever happened to the other members of the AOM barkada, I'm happy and contended to know that the majority has finally earned his or her position in the society. Whether it be in health, commerce, IT, or the sciences, we've definitely come a long way from the drama of high school. I certainly hope that those who're absent in the aforementioned occasion will be informed earlier next time and will join the next AOM activity, whatever or wherever it may be.

Thank you.
