Hello all,
Thanks for the birthday greetings!   Delayed thank-you. :)  How's everyone?
I hope everyone is healthy. As for me I am trying to lose some weight and be
healthy.  Do you get leg cramps when you walk?  I do.  Any plans for 2000?

I received bad news from Cagayan, Sept 30:
"I will just inform that Mr. Felipe M. Cacatian, the Provincial Statistics
Officer of Cagayan and your former co-trainee died yesterday morning due to
bronchogenic cancer.  His body lies at his residence in Sanchez Mira, Cagayan
and his interment will be on October 5, 1999 (Tuesday).  He suffered from that
illness for more than one year. He just turned 60 years old last July 17."

The late Elma Luis was mentioned in the email. Bakit laging cancer na lang ang
dahilan? Let's keep Elma and Felipe in our prayers.

Regards,
Rose

about our co-trainee, Felipe Cacatian.
---------------------
 
 
Nag-one year anniversary na ang aking hysterectomy operation kahapon.
Salamat pa rin uli sa binder na naipamana kay Lou.
Ang bilis ng panahon, ano?
 
I am gaining weight. Pinaiinom ako ng gatas ng OB gyne.
 
Last Monday we celebrated the 27th anniversary of NFA at nag-attend ng
celebration si Erap. Nagtiyaga akong umupo sa aisle steps ng auditorium just
to see him.
 
Last Wednesday I had a dinner with some high school classmates. May
nagbalikbayan from South San Francisco. Ang saya-saya po!
 
I am still awaiting Lou's invitation for a delayed birthday celebration.
 
My father turns 85 on October 5, imagine that!

     Hi Ana,
 
     Sorry about Felipe. I had just opened Nina's e-mail and then yours.
 
     Please if you have some group pictures of our batch, could you scan
     and send to me. I have a few from our last picnic at Matabungkay if
     you remeber. Kasama pa si Kathy. I will look for these and also send
     you.
 
     Bigla akong nalungkot, thinking of our batchmates who have gone.
 
     Ana, you being our historian, do you have a list of b-days and
     addresses? And Happy belated birthday, too!
 
     I got your letter with Nina's and Lulu's picture. Mukhang walang
     pag-edad ang dalawa!
 
     Let me know about plans for the reunion.
 
     Thanks for the letter and picture.
 
     Take care.
 
     Love,
     Elsie

I'm also gaining weight, must be the effect of the HRT.  I'm now on
new..calcium supplements kasi sumasakit noon ang back pelvic bone ko.
ngayon unti-unti na nawawala.  I was on a trip in Dipolog and Cebu.
Talagang exciting.

re-my blow-out I'm still canvassing for the venue and looking for some
funds.
