I can't believe it-got the friend confirmation I was waiting for from Paps Mosende and more! Class '77 has accepted me in their circle of friends and there's going to be a mini reunion here in San Diego in August. Paps Mosende gave me another contact person to send an email to..At least the wheels are moving, and not stuck to one place, which was what I was afraid of... The good thing about this is that before the reunion starts next year, I have a feeling that I'll be able to meet quite a few FEU former grads...
Wow, that's a far cry from when I was a student.. We all went thru it=we had to pass those practical and theoretical exams that our noses were buried to the grind all the time... There's not even enough time in the day(or night!) to study, much less to socialize.. In retrospect, I'm glad that I was part of the newsletter, The Medical Researcher, when it was revived the 1st time..Working with Epoy Nierva and Rey Melchor Santos, I learned how to work a mimeo machine and print/make mock ups and lay outs on those newsletters..We did everything to get that newsletter published! I don't know why I did it @ the time-there's not even time to study for Micro and Para and Path! And yet we used to make those things after classes, that we sometimes stay in FEU till wee hours in the morning! If anything, it taught us discipline and not to back down from some teachers when we publish something they don't like! After all, it was during the height of martial law!
Isn't that how they made our test questions, at the time-mimeo copies? I know I'm really dating myself here, but it's one of the obsolete things we had back then!
Anyway, I digress.. back to searching for members in this reunion.. Hope that things will all fall into place..We have a lot of time, but it's always good to have a head start, especially on something of this magnitude.. Wonder how others got started? Wonder if there are sites somewhere that'll give me pointers on how to do this? Sort of like a diy (do it yourself) instructions, like @ Home Depot?
