Walang bang magpapakain/inom?
We’ve been away for a while, and to continue our balitaan here we’re publishing a short thank-you note we received from Aarthi Kalyan, who eventually won first runner-up in the Miss India-Canada beauty pageant held recently. Here it is:
Aarthi Kalyan, Malu Ortiz’s lovely daughter, has been chosen to be one of the 16 finalists for this year’s edition of Miss India-Canada. As its name suggests, the beauty pageant is open to young Canadian women with Indian roots. We are requesting all of you to make Aarthi the most popular candidate by voting online. Click this link to cast your vote and to learn more about her and the competition. Good luck, Aarthi!
We are sharing here some photos and footage of the recent get-together held by our North American-based classmates and batchmates in Mississauga, Ontario. Present were host Malu Ortiz, Mario Mercado, Josephine Urbiztondo, Antonina Avendaño, Evangeline Capulong and former Filipino teacher Miss Salome Tamayo. We gathered that another reunion is to be held at Mario’s place next year.
Thanks, Bangge, for sharing these pictures (click here to view) and Malu, for the video.
It was Malu Ortiz’s birthday yesterday and we would like to apologize to her for these belated greetings. It just took us a while to find this wonderful birthday video. Happy birthday, girl! Be happy always.
[Update: The video is no longer working as its original owner has decided to remove it from YouTube. Our apologies.]
Our Ontario-based friends − Malu Ortiz, Josie Urbiztondo and Mario Mercado − have just had lunch with former LDHS teacher Ms. Salome Tamayo. Enjoy their pictures here and on our online photo album.
So nice to see Mario again in one of his rare appearances.Thanks, Malu, for the photos.
Kelan ba talaga kayo mag-uuwian at nang sa Pinas naman tayo mananghalian?
LDHS reunions are taking place not only in the Philippines but also in other parts of the world. Fellow alumni in the United States have linked up with each other and are now regularly holding activities. Last July 19 Canada-based graduates from different batches also had a get-together, a picnic held at the Petticoat Conservation Park in Ontario.
