MY GUIDING PHILOSOPHY: EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED, MAINTAIN SOME SORT OF BALANCE,
PUSH HARD AGAINST ADVERSE WINDS, AND DON'T TAKE YOURSELF TOO SERIOUSLY.

Then and Now: Regee’s 50th High School Reunion

Regee’s 50th High School Reunion recently took place over three days in three different locations: a Welcome Dinner at the University of the Philippines, an overnight trip to Anvaya Cove Beach Resort, Subic Bay and a Farewell Dinner at the Villamor Airbase. 


As you would expect when many people have not seen each other for over 35 years, there were a lot of exclamations of surprise, laughter, eating, dancing, singing and not too much sleep! 

Part of the Welcome Dinner program was a series of dances and songs that the students had performed as teenagers in High School.  The photo below shows Regee (3rd from right) and her batch mates as they were in 1965 performing “Tea for Two”. 

THEN: Nimfa, Mian, Regee, Anita, Renith and Christie

Nimfa and Renith were not able to make the Reunion.  But here are the other four performing once again in 2015.  Very few changes, di ba?  And still going strong.....

NOW: Regee, Mian, Anita and Christie
