September Morn

XXX









This morning, Batch63 got together again at Manila Polo to celebrate with its September birthday boys. Bobit Damian, Boy Carlos, Ben Ang and Francis Horn were the ‘taya’ this time. This business of joint birthday celebration every month has given new meaning to Batch63 Kapihan. To the surprise of everyone, rare birds would take the time to show up during these joint birthdays when they normally don’t come. Their presence inspires a lot of new conversation and greetings. Apart from the celebrants who are truly rare birds themselves, the others who came this morning are Ed Lim, Art Alvendia, Steve Hontiveros and Arthur Antonino.










When he arrived, Arthur Antonino went directly to Bobit Damian and said: “Bobit Damian! Ikaw yung nag-dodrowing noon ng mga eroplanong namamaril, di ba? Happy birthday!” Arthur is the eldest of the Antonino boys who all went to La Salle. Politically, he is in a quandary since one brother in Mindanao is visibly opposition while his youngest brother is an eloquent spokesman of GMA’s political party. Arthur, wala kang talo!

You can also never tell what gimmicks the crazy guys are up to. Bert Saenz came in with a lion tamer’s whip and started cracking it in front of the guys. Some claim that he was inspired by Chavit Singson who raises wild animals in his house. Then there’s Joey Ingles with his new short hair look (attempt to look credible?). As you know Joey is a mad scientist who makes elixirs. He repackaged his elemi that is supposed to mitigate fine lines and creases of the face. The built in instructions however hints that you must have hippo hide since the elemi is not for sensitive skin!

As of this writing, we miss our DD friend Nilo whose ashes is now laid to rest beside his wife Roxanne in Pangasinan. Gary Salcedo and Boy Fernandez (Nilo’s friend) represented the Batch in the interment ceremony in Pangasinan last week.
