well, congrats to tagon-on usa...as far as i knew, everytime has always been a success no matter what basta tagon-on. i am not sure if you guys did this part na inhinang nan sa chicago 1998 reunion...motindog an kada pamilya sa atubangan and introduced themselves, yes, during the welcome party...that served the purpose of the reunion kay at least since then, inkadungan an kila ko hasta nan yakakila kanako. it may take a li'l while pero its worth the fun and knowledge of getting to know who the real tagon-ons are...but anyways, i was there for less than 30min sa welcome party, bibo sa bisan hayupo da na oras but my time has already been compromised to a more priority family matters....but at least kit-an ko an mga gwafa hasta seksi na mga tagon-on bisan an iban agaw bayho da ako kila...dayaw pa gani tiguwang kila nako heheheh....hope the tagon-ons have more successful reunions to come.

abb,

are we referring to the same photo? kay bagan may major mixed-up kay nan ini. judstump has short hair while seattlegalgirl has long hair. lang-on ta dakan gayud (bisan dihaw politically correct) slimmer si seattlegalgirl kan judstump. so there. =P~

no probs with kawsin nening (lilia). i often bump into her sa tiangge. sigurado ako na yaon pan iyo hulagway kay ma impid isab yaon na pamilya. (gapanghingaon si cesar nan mangguhud the nite before nan toma posisyon ka mayor. [he was contracted for his 'kriminal' na sound symtem!] pag ka adlaw kay ga attend sa si nening, laong ko: "gor, gapanghinga-on kay iton si tagor cesar kabii nan mangguhud. laong ni tagor nening: yatagaw baya! hahaha)

hermegildo died in cebu of liver problem. yahibawo kami nan yaon kay nan kasagsagan nan badminton craze sa tago, may bata ngadto (hi-schooler) na Milo Player baya nan badminton sa cebu, listuhi. it turned out, he's the son of hermenegildo.

and because you asked if your spanish conjugation is correct, here goes: i think the 3rd person plural is wrong (at least in spelling): Ellos/Ellas comen. My spanish teacher in USC said that you don't use "comen" with second person plural. it should always be: Vosotros comeis. (i'm quite good in spanish abb, in fact, i can do "sight" translation on my feet!) i remember one time, yangadji kami sa patay. tapos inkanta an yaon iyo balitaw pangadyi-on sa Catolico na may line na "pecados.....con su vida....?" laong ni Mayor kay iban sa kami, unoy pasabot nan yaon k_spy? in translate ko isab taraw an iban na linya....ug laong niya, aw amo? =P~ i owe USC for this.

And you're correct...."r" should always be pronounced in "rolling" fashion. but of course you know that "z" and "d" are pronounced as "th" if they're found at the end of the word, as in-- verdath (verdad=truth) and luth (luz=light) =P~

K-Spy,

Saludo gayod ako kanimo. :D Bisan hain kaw your gift of teaching will always show. Thanks for the impromptu Spanish refresher course. =P~

Come let me tell you something in return. :-D

Remember the phrase “be careful what you tell the children”? When we were in Tigao, Tatay befriended a fellow teacher. Forgot his name but can’t forget that he was from Siquijor (spell check please :-D ) because of…. you know…. the myth of black magic that is associated with the place. 8-[

One day, I had a toothache and didn’t go to school. The teacher was single and was renting a bedroom in one of the houses somewhere by the Plaza. He often came to our rented house to hang out with Tatay and Popo Tirong. I liked him, he had many good stories.

(Sug, your friend from Tigao, might know or have heard of Popo Tirong. :-D I'm sure her parents knew who he was. He owned the house we rented in the late 60’s --- the house was configured in a strange way then we were told it used to serve as a town hall before the "municipality" was moved to Cortes. Popo Tirong's made to order solid narra coffin hanged just under our feet from the second floor living room being kept away from the termites and ready for use when his expiration date come). 8-[

K-Spy, that afternoon the teacher came and decided to tell me the story of romance between Crisostomo Ibarra, rich young man who studied in Europe and the very beautiful Maria Clara, daughter of Filipina Pia Alba and Santiago de los Santos or Capitan Tiago. It was long, very long … but the teacher got my full attention. I was captivated. :-D If the teacher was a revolutionary, and was forming a junta, I would have been in on it no doubt hahahahaha…..

By dinner time, the teacher, had my young mind hate everything Spanish- :-D - - people, language and the Spanish friar or priest named Padre Damaso in particular (dili ko sab kalimtan kay namesake sa ni insik Damaso) =P~ . The teacher made me understand the cruelty and abuse done by the Spanish friars to the Filipinos. Labi na intawon kan Crisostomo Ibarra.

And poor Maria Clara who thought her father was Capitan Tiago was actually the daughter of Padre Damaso. Damaso raped her mother and thus fathered Maria Clara. Whewww!!!!!!!!!! Nah sin-o say dili mangambaw nan yaon? That's why I almost flunk high school spanish =P~ =P~ =P~

Hahahahahahaha….. K-Spy how does this happen? From Tagon-on USA 2007 Reunion to Noli Me Tangere?????? :-k

Back to Spanish Conjugation… sus amo-amo na gayod na inat K-Spy para kapasar. =P~ But I daren't think na mag kudigo parehas kanila ni... .... ay dili lamang ako mag saba kon sin-oy permi mag kodigo kay basin ako kaisgan.
:-D :-D

Sus oozing with talent ton tagor mo na si Cesar. Grabehi kay iton lamiin boses listohi mo sista. Dako pan sista kaniya naadi. :-D :-D Ay mag lanog-lanog gud ton boses dili ko kalintan yadton kanta nia na ag mag sugod nan "why does the sun go on shining.....????" :-D :-D Yaon pan iya joint dapit sa Seladis (again spell check)?

Komusta dakan sa iya okay

amo gayud iton abb an power of storytelling; it enthrals.

pero irony of ironies, i've read prince of tides many, many times (enough to recite the nice passages from memory) but i haven't read noli me tangere, except for the chapter that was assigned to me for reporting in our rizal class at USC.

K-Spy,

I really have to work on my "E" and "I". I'm much too careless. :-D

The story as it was told to me got embedded in my memory. Perhaps, because, of the romance aspect of it.

Have read it in haste (borrowed from a classmate) in college and yes for Rizal Class. I can’t remember whose translation it was. Then in 2004, in QC, I wandered through my in-laws' library and found “Noli Me Tangere” along side “The Reign of Greed” aka El Filibusterismo. This Noli is translated by, Ma. Soledad Lacson-Locsin in 1995 when she was 86 years old. Of course you know who she was. I’m one of her ardent admirer.

Noli as translated by her, and me pressed for time, I didn’t miss my chance. I took the book to read on the plane ride to Singapore. But the plane ride was too short and so many of us traveling I couldn’t concentrate and was restless. As soon as we joined the cruise and after dinner when everyone was at the Casino, I stole away to the main deck of Star Virgo and continued to read there. K-Spy, I couldn’t put it down. Ma. Soledad Lacson-Locsin did a magnificent job on her translation. And guess who edited it? Her son, Raul L. Lacson.

Is Noli available there? If not let me know.
