my elementary friends' projectt

Last Friday night (12 December 2008), I met up with some of my elementary friends at Norman’s place. If last year, we had “feeding program” as part of the charity work of the batch, this year we are taking it on a higher level (naks!). Norman suggested that we organize a medical mission and that was actually the primary reason why we guys met up --- to finalize some details. The Medical Mission was scheduled this coming Saturday (20 December 2008) and we are planning to accommodate only 150 patients. If time permits, we might try to accommodate more but as per discussion, we will keep it at 150. Everything was almost set, Norman already had a place reserved and since he owns a Pharmacy, the medicines are well-taken care of as well. So far, we have 4 Doctors including our very own Doc Allan (haha! special mention ka talaga allan, wehehe!), 1 doctor is yet to be confirmed. The Christmas Party, on the other hand, will be on the 26th of December. If last year's theme was "Black and White", this year's theme would be "Something that you don't wear everyday" (that was agreed upon by the organizers), and I quote Norman's examples--- wedding gown, swimsiut, astronaut, etc. (seems like a costume party to me), oh yeah, and partners had to be coordinated as well.

It was fun seeing my elementary friends once again. The first few minutes were spent discussing the responsibilities we had to take care of, the stations we have to man, and some other logistics. The next few minutes were spent in eating the food that Norman prepared for us, wehehe! The next HOURS were spent laughing out loud while we were recollecting the memories from the past--- oh yeah, from elementary days when we still played “sikyo” and “diamond football” to our yearly reunions where unforgettable and funny moments always happen (I’m really tempted to share it here, but I guess, it just had to be the batch’s secrets, hahaha!). Anyway, I just feel like this is worth blogging as I feel so blessed to belong to a batch who had maintained that camaraderie throughout the years and I’m damn proud of my batchmates who have taken this initiative in doing some charity work. KUDOS!
