HELLO EVERYONE!
Thanks Imo for furnishing us with an impressive website. You’ve always been creative and visually, aesthetically inclined so I was not a bit surprised. The last time I saw you was in 1980 (you were with Lester Marinas and you both were on your way home after a grueling afternoon of ROTC).
I like this section very much. There are definitely some songs that stood out as I was rummaging through these pages: Stephen Bishop’s “On and On”, Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”, and Seals and Crofts’ “My Fair Share”. Mheann and I used to harmonize to the tune of these melodies. For everyone else’s information, si Stephen Bishop nababalitaan kong namamalengke sa Swap Meet! I don’t know if you are familiar with Dan Fogelberg…”Leader of the Band” (He died of prostate cancer last November ’07) The Eagles are having a re-union, too…remember “Hotel California?” Kung visual ka, auditory naman ako…
I haven’t slept a wink since I heard from some of you. Excited ako. I really hope that I could come home with my one and only son. Divorcee ako, medyo naghahanap…Hah!
By the way, Jay Dumandal is as cute as ever…naku, baka sabunutan ako ng asawa niya…

Di ko kailan man makakalimutan si Grace Dacanay. Remember me Grace? Tinalo mo ako sa talumpati! Third year tayo noon section-2 under Mrs. Nunez. Si Donna naman, dalawa kami noon playing guitar during our graduation ceremony sa QCA ground, picture natin nakatago pa hanggang ngayon. Eniong narito ako, residente ng singapore, dito na yata ako tatanda. Baka pagdating ng panahon makikita nyo na lang ako naglilinis sa loob ng arrival/departure area ng Changi Airport. Huwag kayong magkakalat ha!
Hello Batchmates!
Ano ba yung Graduation Song natin, di ko na maalala?! Sana malagay dito, kung di available sa You Tube, pwede kayang mailagay yung lyrics dito?
Hello Caber,
Tanda tanda ko pa noon na 2 ang songs natin…AMONG MY SOUVENIR and THIS WILL BE OUR LAST SONG TOGETHER…itanong mo kay Donna.
Temmz,
Ako ang nag-suggest ng “This Will Be Our Last Song Together”, by Neil Sedaka.
Kasama ko si James na isinulat ang lyrics/guitar chords sa bahay nila noon, of course, I don’t know if he could still remember.

IMO< SIR:
PUwede ho bang mag-request? Paki post mo naman iyong You tube na kanta ni Stephen Bishop, “On and On”, the Eagles’ “Hotel California”, “Smiling Face” ni James Taylor (ito iyong kanta na inalay ni Zagala – ewan ko ba kung para kay Marivic or Donna?) at saka “ANG HIMIG NATIN”- LAGI ITONG INAAWIT NI ZAGALA AT JAY D.
Thank you, Imo,
Gracie D.
Thanks Erlington for reminding me, how I can forget those? Gracie,me lyrics ka ba nito, i-publish mo dito sarap kantahin ulit. Saka Yung kanta natin noon nung catechism natin sa mga seminarians, the one I remembered most is “Words” by the Beegees, tama ba?
hi to all 78′ers,
sino nag-upload ng At Seventeen,pwede ba paki forward naman sa email ko kung pwede kasi bigay ko kay vilma my wife,favorite nya yan e.ang ganda naman kasi e live pa.
gracie,
may isa pang song na ginamit nung student night natin kay James Taylor yung ” If I keep my heart out of site” pang sweet dance yun, naaalala ko pa yun kasi memorable sa kin yung student night na yun e.
William,
Punta ka lang sa YOU TUBE search mo kung “At Seventeen” tapos, click mo yung “Share” tapos ilagay mo na yung e-mail ni Vilma, tapos!
Yung kanta ni James Taylor, ikaw naman, parati ka kasi sa site, kaya nilagay mo “If I keep my heart out of site!” Ang tamang title, “If I keep my Heart out of Sight” search mo lang sya sa YOU TUBE ulit under James Taylor. Naalala ko yang kanta na yan, me dala pa si Manuel Zagala noon ng Album ni James Taylor sa Student Night, favorite ko rin yan hanggang ngayon, buong album… Hay naku, memories, memories, memories…

William,
E-mail mo ke Imo yung pix mo, subject to his approval pa hehehe, kasi minsan yata masyadong malaki ang file so kailangan me certain size para di mag-slowdown tong website natin…tama ba Imo? E-mail mo lang ke Sir, William, ok?
William.
Kaninong wife mo ipapadala? wife mo sa PI or sa Dubai?
Ang tanda-tanda mo na feeling teenager ka pa rin….
isa lang wife ko nasa pinas, sa dubai mga fans lang marami hehehehehe.
Temmy,
I remembered that song, “Words”, by the BeeGees (Talaga naman na iyon ang parang flagship song niyo with the seminarians). I was not there during the spiritual retreat because I am not a Roman Catholic, I remembered spending that Sunday at church. We belong to a family of Christian missionaries, ministers and preacher kids ever since the late 1940′s.
I do remember Zagala’s fondness for J.T. He loves “Your Smiling Face”; I particularly remember “Sweet Baby James” by J.T. as well. Kaya noon pa man, gumala na ang aking mga mata dahil rejected! Do you remember Grace Matro’s poem, “Mistaken Ecstascy?” (I don’t remember the exact title anymore). Mabuti na lang hindi ako napainom noon….
Love always,
Gracie
I remember noon, kilig to the bones kaming mga girls sa mga seminarians,kaya very memorable yang kanta na yan, kasi yan ang tinuro nila sa amin. Nasaan na kaya yung slumbook ko noon? Puro kilig sa mga seminarians ang entries noon sa slumbook!
Until now, I remember Zagala every time I hear James Taylor songs kasi sya ang nag-insist noon sa DJ na i-play yung kanyang JT LP record sa student nite habang kami naman ni Jopay ay pinatugtog ng pinatugtog ang Bonggahan ni Sampaguita, tandang-tanda ko pa yon! Ang daming nagsayawan at nagwala nung tumugtog ang plaka ni Sampaguita! Umuwi pa kami ni Jopay para kunin yung plaka sa bahay nila o sa bahay namin. Memories, memories, memories! Sinayaw ka ba ni Manuel noon Gracie? I remember sinayaw ni Manuel si Fe Bunion sa isa sa mga songs noon at ang daming kilig to the bones hehehe…BTW, nasan na si Fe Bunion???
Gracie,
Anong “poem”? Mistaken Ecstacy, ano yon droga? Bakit ganoon ang dami nyong natatandaan?, ako wala akong matandaan…..para tuloy ang feeling ko mayroon na akong memory lapse… parang yung mga kwento ni Marivic na wala akong matandaan…. ako ba talaga yung pinag-uusapan nyo? o baka naman may iba pang grace na taga QCA din. Ang natatandaan ko mayroon tayong collection ng mga poems sa isang note book…
sino kayang nagmamay-ari ngayon ng notebook na yun? dapat makuha natin at ma-feature sa Homecoming, para magkabistuhan na ng mga kakornihan natin nung araw hehehe…
