‘Sang taon na po kami

 
The site’s original proponents (minus Eddie Roberto)

Would you believe this blog is already a year old? It was actually on August 12, 2007 when we welcomed all of you with this article. Time flies, indeed.

The following site stats might interest you:

• 203 - the number of articles we have posted.
• 212 - the number of comments we have received. 
• 301 - the highest number of visitors in a day, which was recorded on Friday, June 30, 2008.
• 28,000 - the number of times the site has been visited.

Know this girl?

Of course you do! It’s the wacky Ana Marie Joaquin. Has she been found? Hmmm. Just watch out for further announcement …

Batch ‘73 launches website

We would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to the members of LDHS Batch ‘73 on the launching of  their website: http://ldhs73.com.

Not too long ago, a number of them were exchanging emails with us, all of them sharing their own experience in tracking down batchmates. We’re just glad they now have their own virtual meeting place, which is a welcome addition to websites maintained by LDHS graduates. To know how the site came about, read Aoie Calaoagan-Maghirang’s article How it started.

Class ‘73 is holding a grand reunion on January 31, 2009, 6:00 p.m. , at the Edsa Plaza Shangri-la in Mandaluyong. Those interested can send an email to:
louconstantino29[at]yahoo[dot]com, rregis[at]adb[dot]org, christynad[at]yahoo[dot]com or send text message to 09174229053 or 09219783148.

Good luck to all of you!

A batchmate in Guam

Fernando Santos, IV-18, got in touch with us recently and would like to link up with fellow LDHS alumni. A classmate of Larry Ramos and Roger del Prado in third year, Fernando graduated from the University of the East in Caloocan, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in electronics and communications engineering in 1986.

He wrote the following comment: “‘Kakainggit naman kayo in touch pa rin after all these yearssss. Sana kami rin mayroong tulad nito. Oopss let me intruduce myself. Alam ko di n’yo ko kilala kasi sa lV-4 ako batch 1978. Pero nagpalipat ako ng lV-18 kasi nag-wowork ako noon sa umaga. Pero kilala ko si Larry at Roger. Classmate ko sila noon. lll-3 yata? Sana pakisabi kay Larry ‘yung promise niya na picture noong third year namin hintay ko pa rin. Dito nga pala ako sa Guam kasi last time na makontak ko si Larry ay sa England ako noon.”

Fernando is now working at the technical department of a mobile phone operator in Guam. He used to work as a technical consultant and product specialist for Motorola-United Kingdom.

Welcome to the site, Fernando.

We still remember, Jimmy

Today, August 11, is Jimmy Borja’s birthday. He would have turned 48. To his family, wife and daughter, just to let you know we haven’t forgotten him.

Eddie Roberto has been busy making a Powerpoint presentation as a tribute to our departed friend and we will be posting it when it’s ready.

We enjoin everyone to say a prayer for Jimmy.
