Last night's celebration yielded a big turnout as the weather cooperated despite the presence of the strongest typhoon on earth this year lingering up north. Instead of rain, the climate was warm, humid and totally dry. Perfect for the the outdoor spread we had conveniently prepared.
The festivity commenced earlier than schedule with good friend Cali Tiansay and my wife Vicky deciding to get things started coming straight from work. Soon celebrant Monchie and his other guests arrived. Some LSGH highschool batchmates, Retro Verde and music room friends comprised most of the attendees.
Food was in abundance more than enough for everyone. Hyperbolic both in quantity as in quality. Our utmost gratitude to all the kindhearted donors. The live music was great as well. Quite lethargic at the start, i must say, but eventually picked up as the night quickly progressed. A mix of the house band and other music room friend musicians came to jam. Joaco Marco, Tinnie Esguerra, Rick Trinidad, Richard Parcia, Bubui Colico, Erwin Dimaculangan, Mark Longos, Michelle Adriano, Monchie Henares and myself comprised the whole ensemble on stage. Dr. Mon Alleje, a master percussionist himself, surprised us with his able presence coming straight from Coron, Palawan, were he practices and resides.
When the jam finally picked up at about midnight, it was non-stop till 4am. Comparatively a bit earlier than most nights but recharging just the same. After the jam, before i finally closed, Richard, Mark L., Dr. Mon and the birthday boy stayed around till about sunrise at 5:45am. All's well that ends well!
In behalf of the celebrant, our utmost gratitude to Air Force brats Jojo Castañeda, Johnny Sarmiento and
Ed Diano. To Joel and Karen Canlas, Arabelle Jimenez and all the other Retro Verde guys who came. To the LSGH highschool batchmates and friends and to all the other jolly well-wishers who dropped by. You know who you are. Thank you all for your love and presence. God bless you!
