"WISHING ALL THE NOVEMBER CELEBRANTS A HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
THAT GOES FOR THE FOLLOWING BEAUTIES":"
WENA, BEL, GIRLIE, LITA, VICKY AND SYLVIA.
For my birthday wishes to you all , let me borrow from the lyrics of an old song - one of my favorites. I wonder how many of you know the melody of this song. I just remember the words. I can't recall the title.
Here goes:
May you always walk in sunshine
Slumber warm when night wind blows
May you always live with laughter
For a smile becomes you so
May good fortune find your doorway
May the bluebird sing your song
May no trouble trouble your way
May no worries stay too long
May your heartaches be forgotten
May no tears be spilled
May auld acquaintance be remembered
And each cup of kindness filled
And may you always
be a dreamer
May your wildest dreams come true
May you find someone to love
As much as we live you.
These wishes are also for everyone in class 1960 -
with special mention for November celebrant.

An E-mail from Vicky:
Thank you to all who sent their birthday wishes to us the November Celebrants.
One of the many blessings I received this year is the opportunity to reconnect with you, my high school classmates. I get to chat, exchange emails, rekindle old friendship and make new friends to classmates who might be sitting next to me in high school but never really shared my life with.
Now its as if we are all eager to keep in touch and be updated with what is going on in our lives and to be able to say in so many words that "I am here for you".
Update From Ebb Resella:
Last summer, it was already late at night. But before going to bed, I opened my e-mail. What a surprise that our long lost h.s. classmate, Vicky Medina's name appeared on my inbox! She said that she discovered our PWU blog "Gintong Ala-ala." I didn't waste time and I reconnected w/ her right away. I never saw her again after high school graduation. More than 50 years passed by but it was only recently that we exchanged e-mails. I will never forget her despite of the years of not seeing each other. What a wonderful feeling to be reconnected w/ h.s. classmates! What more she's the communicative type! Always replying to e-mails and got something to share.
News From Rosario Valenzuela:
Vicki Medina Pascual is in New Jersey area so we the residents (Ening, Lolit and I) of NYC had a dinner outing with Vicki last night. We had dinner at the Olive Garden in Times Square. It was such a pleasant/happy get together... felt like no 50 years had passed since we last saw each other at our HS graduation.... I had no difficulty identifying Vicki. She still looks the same as I knew her in HS..... Sayang nga na my Sherlock Holmes "skills" did not work when I looked for her before our jubilarian celebration in 2010.... While exchanging stories about our adaptation to the new life in NYC, I cannot help but think of how great our adaptation skills are. I speak for all of us who decided to migrate from the Phil to another foreign land. I truly believe our "training" at PWU has much to do with developing these skills. We were given so many opportunities in the extra-curricular activities we had to plan, organize, practice and implement those projects (pa-secre-secreto pa) in those years in HS.... Kaya noong nagsipaglakihan tayo, we survived what ever ordeals were experienced.
