This month's Birthday Boys are from left to right : Douglas Marcaida, 65; Steve Hontiveros, 64; Bambi Goco, 64; Jimmy Estrella,64; Gabby Valdex, 64. (like it or not guys, you are no longer spring chickens, di na puedeng i-deny!)
The rest of the 18 attendees were the ff: Vince Misa, Joey Ingles, Boy Carlos, Joey Estagle, George Cunanan, Boy Palanca, Jackie Arellano, Ed Lim, Francis Horn, Gary Salcedo, Quito Moras,, Bert Saenz and Lito Quiogue.
Vince announced that next month's Grand Breakfast will be on the 16th. On the folowing Wednesday, 23th, is the regular Kapihan and everyone is enjoined to bring their respective wives. This suggestion of Joey Estagle raised a furor among some of the boys who are not used to be accompanied by their wives. Jackie was quick to react saying, "ano? si Joey pa?" or somethng like that. But Douglas boldly announced that he may bring both of his live-in patners.. Lucky for Bert, Oying has arrived from the U.S. after a long absence. I overheard that he gave her an ultimatum lest she'd find him gone with another woman. Pa-macho talaga!
The morning wore on with the usual discussions on a variety of subjects. One interesting thought voiced out was the fact that if we were otherwise progressive as some of our Asian neighbors, like Singapore, HK or Malaysia, Filipinos generally would not have the luxury of maids, yayas, drivers, ala-lays, etc. For most of us (HS63) it would only be wishful to be able to meet every week at the plush Manila Polo Club and spend the rest of the day saundering in the malls.
