ADDU GS '97 and HS '01 Reunion: A Time with the "Awesomest" Batch =)

One Big Knight Affair at the Summit Bar of the Royal Mandaya Hotel, Davao City




About 2 years ago, if not mistaken, last 2009 there were hear says or probably an initial plan to organize a batch reunion, unfortunately it wasn't materialized maybe perhaps due to some reasons. Nevertheless, two years later, last December 23, 2011 everything was made possible. Many thanks to our batch's organizing committee who placed their time and effort, for some financially just to make this happen namely Louel Zambrano and Karlo Tesoro. Personally, I had lots of fond memories way back in High School, I'm just an average kid way back . Like a normal kid does, we just wanted to pass our exams, laugh, cry, for some fell in love, be with friends, do crazy things and makes the most out of everything.


Ateneo before, it was torn down right after my Grade School Graduation in '97.
So much for everything, for those who haven't made it that night, the event was held at the Summit Bar of the Royal Mandaya Hotel in Davao City. Almost everyone came with their different hues of blue outfit, which reminds me so much of Ateneo. The background music being played was so 90's, the likes of Alanis Morissette, Back Street Boys, Third Eye Blind, Semisonic, The Creed, etc. Flashback photos collected from batchmates we're also flashed as well as our high school year book. As we await for the program to begin, there's also a photo booth prepared for us to take our pictures and the beers and drinks were starting to flow while waiting.

Some of the activities during the night.
The hosts/emcees for the night were Diva Zamora and Vincent Oliver Te. There were sets of games and activities for everyone. An awesome AVP/Flashback video was also being played. Cool prizes were also given away, unfortunately I wasn't able to win any huhu Souvenir items were given away, a goodie bag with a customized mug and t-shirt. Thanks to Print-to-Go (Cecille Cayetano-Inventor and husband) for the sponsorship. But the best prize among all, is to see your old time friends come to life and not just seeing them on Facebook or in other social networking sites. It's beyond priceless, because 10 years comes only once in a lifetime. I'm so glad to be part of it! Was an "EPIC" night indeed! =D 'Til next time.....
