TP Reunion

Monday, April 30th, 2007

April 28-29, 2007

"Friends we will be now and forever…" yan ung first line ng kanta ni ate shawie… and i want to believe that it will happen to us… no matter how far the distance, or how long it is….

Grabe! after how many years eh now lang ulit nagkita kita ang halos buong tropa (halos kasi yung iba eh di nakasama)… but for the first batch of TP members… it was a dream… a reunion came true… although wala si cris at ate ana na kabilang sa first batch ng TP, naging memorable pa rin ang pagkikita kita ng tropa…

Ate Bheng (from Canada), Manong (from The Netherlands), Geena (from The Netherlands din galing), Helen (from France) at ako (from China), & Don lokal (from diff countries galing)…. imagine ilan kaming galing sa iba’t ibang lugar eh nagkataon na sabay sabay umuwi! yahooooo kaya riot talaga yung naging reunion…

Gelay was there ov course mawawala ba sya… si Ronald na aming ever patience na driver kon tagasundo hehehe… pero grabe ha.. bilib ako sa kanya… sobrang bait nya sa min nung time na yun… wala ako masabi.. saludo talaga ko sa kabaitan ni Boga… kaso wawa naman kasi nga nagting driveer namin…  si lavern na labas pasok din ng Japan.. pero at this time eh nag aaral ng nursing kaya di muna sya gumagala… si Erwin na aba kagagaling lang din ng Taiwan… lam nyo ba kung bakit?? sige saka ko na iwewento sa inyo hehehe… syempre kung kasama si mama gee eh mawawala ba si papa brye???

mga hindi nakasama…. si sheng na me sariling dahilan kung bakit di nakasama…. si ate ana.. kasi nasa US pa… si cris di ko lam why di nakasama… si Ivan kasi me qualifying exam sa board kaya di talaga makakasama… si ace kasi naka duty at di pede mag absent… si kuya will na nasa PNG pero ok lang kasi umuwi naman sya at nakasama ang tropa nung january eh…

Wala ng hihigit pa kapag nakasama mong muli ang mga taong mahalaga sa buhay mo… mga taong mahal mo at alam mo ring mahal ka… kahit ano at kahit sino ka pa… mga taong tanggap ka…. at yan ang nararamdaman ko tuwing kasama ang tropang ito… walang pretensions… walang pa cute (kasi lahat kami eh cute hehehe)…

hay… kelan naman kaya ulit mauulit to??? malamang sa May 26 kasi usapan na yun eh… na magkikita kita muli kaming lahat kasi despedida ko, ni ate bheng at ni Don… at the same time birthday celebration ni ate bheng…

dyan lang kayo at dito lang ako.. babalitaan ko kayo ng susunod na adventure ng Tropang Pasaway!

It was so nice to see my team mates again… i visited them 2 days after i arrived in Manila coz kuya Eph (our leader) will be leaving for HK the following day… after lunch, they brought me to Tagaytay and it wassssss so wonderful… why? kasi di mainit sa Tagaytay eh… sarap ng hangin hehehe… kakaibang kakaiba sa Manila… i also spent time with our other friends… we also had dinner at Tagaytay… and for the first time since i arrived in Manila nakatulog ako ng mahimbing kasi aircon yung room na tinulugan ko eh hahaha…

Then the following day, we had a breakfast fellowship and i really had a great time with them… it feels like we are China again during the time na me training…

haaaayyyyy….. i miss china na… i miss everything about that place… including the "amoys" duing summer hahaha…. can’t wait to go back to my second home….

Ano sama na ba kayo sa kin sa China??? ano pa intay nyo??? tara na!

TP in Motion By: Sheng Santos

TP in motion..

Today, As I am writing this, my friends are all busy looking at their pictures taken from their Laguna outing last weekend. Going to the beach or any resort is a summer “escapade” to many, but for them, it is more than that. Last week could have been their greatest reunion. Hmnn, I would not be surprised if I saw this event in the Guiness Book of World Records. It happens only once in this lifetime, it may happen again after 200 years or more.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to go to the said reunion. Sigh. I miss them so much.. but I have reasons, well, personal reasons why I didn’t want to go.. First, it is because [message deleted because of confidentiality], second, [blah blah blah..] and lastly, [uhmnn.. buzzzzz]..

Anyway, let me introduce to you my group called the Tropang Pasaway.. You know, as the name implies, we do have all different personalities, not to mention the looks of course, have different religions and beliefs.. and other numerous differences.

Let me introduce them one by one.

RONALD RUBEN (29.single) aka Boga (Boy Ganid), Balbakwa (I don’t think it is righteous to explain why). He is the most popular among the members. He looks like 15 years older than his real age but he is the most childish in his own way. The first time I met him he was wearing this printed retro polo, a boxer shorts, socks and something like a leather golf shoes but what impressed me most is his self-confidence. He strongly believes that he has better looks than Piolo, has a perfectly fit body that Luis Manzano envies of, and most (or worst) of all, he knows that he is much qualified to be a Hollywood leading man. At age 29 (according to him), he is still single and I still cannot figure out why??!!!

CATHERINE EUSEBIO (35.single) aka Ate Cathy, Cat-Cat. She is our original Ate, our spiritual counselor. She would put her life at risk just to serve the Lord and that is what she wants as her career. She had been through a lot of sacrifices in terms of giving up her office work, had left her family, had gone to China where her services are most needed, and of course the decisions she had made in breaking up with her countless boy-friends and lastly, had rejected one marriage offer. She was once obsessed with one of our friends here. Clue? He is blessed with more flesh and bones below his lips.

ROMMEL AQUINO (35.single) aka Manong. If Vic Sotto, Joey De Leon and the single mom in a cab have their tito, we have our manong naman.  Wala kayo sa Manong namin. He is the boss in his office, but if he is with us, he is just one of the alipins, even if we use his own house in Subic.  A certified thunder. His motto? Early to bed, early to rise, makes an old man healthy, wealthy and wise.

ANGELINE SUNGA-BURCE (29.married) aka Gelay, Gagay, Geline, Abs. The only wife of Don Don (for now. Just kiddin’) and the only mom among the group (again, for now). She is the speaker in the house, yes in the house. She doesn’t know how to talk softly. One would always thought “may kaaway na naman si gelay”. Yes, she screams when talking but for us, it’s normal. She is one of the original mayordomas. I have learned from her that one can lay down on a stretchmark and that the Times Square is the one along UN Avenue, Manila.

WILFREDO BURCE (31.married) aka Don Don. He is the only husband (for the lifetime) of Gelay. He is known as Mr. Perfect. Hmnn..

HELENA VISAYA (31.single & still a virgin). A Lovers in Paris fanatic and the only manang among us. No one can talk about sex if she is around. She is blessed with the three B’s — Beauty, Body and Brains. A serious type. Ayokong olayin.

ANALYN SALINAS-MITCHEL (35.married) I haven’t met her yet but according to chismis, she is the silent and serious type, seldom laughs, and hates gimmick.. How true?!

IVAN CAYANAN (23.single). The youngest, but not a brat baby. The number one super dooper taga-contra of Boga. Eh kasi Ivan possesses the good physical qualities that Boga doesn’t really have. A joker. A joker. A joker.

WILGREG APILADO (3*.single). Also an oldie but still a goodie. Pinaka-pasaway na kuya. He loves adventures (and no wonder why he loved that crazy ugly poison este woman..) and loves to travel even if alone (ayaw kasi kami gastusan).

EDAHLIA AMANDY-MCNEAL (35.married). A certified hot mama but a cool ate. She is a woman of few words but of full sense.

GEENA HERRADURA. (35 to be married). By nature, she is a jet setter. By nature, she is.. a jet setter! All I know is that she loves travelling to different places and is devoted in tree planting, segregating waste materials, etc.. basta she is into taking care of the environment.. kaya nga if there is an award on being a pasaway, she could have the grand prize.. Sya lang kasi ang matino.

ERWIN MANALANSAN (30.single again). The most kuleeettt.. He has experienced everything. A four-women man but not for this reason why he was put in jail. He would do everything just to be present in gatherings except for those unplanned dinners in Manila.

Now young ladies and old maids, if you are interested in any of the above mentioned guys, kindly pm or text me.. I will sell them at an affordable price.

Hot Hot Hot!

Whew! di ko lam ganito na pala kainit sa Pinas… when i arrived sa airport ng 1am eh dama ko na agad yung init.. imagine tulo talaga ang pawis sa likod ko…  at sa tindi ng init, lagi nag aalburoto ang tyan ko.. plus lagi pa masakit ulo ko… pray ko lang na sana naman eh medyo lumamig ng konti…

anyways, its so nice to back.. me mga times when i was in China na parang ayoko na umuwi… kasi di ko na lam kung ano gagawin ko dito… kasi parang nasa China na buhay ko… but its so nice to see my family again surrounded by my makukulit na pamangkins… and syempre to meet with my friends… pero sorry po kung yung iba hindi ko na mami meet ha… hope you understand.. bago pa kasi ko umuwi sa pinas eh me mga naka sched na kong lakad…

but i would love to meet all of you while im in Manila… sana magkaroon ng time both on our parts para magkita kita tayo….

me isang bagay lang akong me medyo kinatatakutan at medyo nag iisip kung i meet ko tong tao coz it will be my ultimate decision kapag ginawa ko yun..

it will either break me (more)… or heal me….

well, i’ll cross the bridge when i get there… i just pray that i will be doing the right decision… kasi kung hindi… i will not be able to see him for a long time… my choice….
