If I was there...

the dialogues would be:*

One day [isang araw], Luth invited the gang at her place in Oxnard for our batch's 35th Reunion monthly meeting. This coincided with a holiday visit from Vienna, Austria; of "long lost " batchmate Maley.

To say the least, it was one of those "to die for" mini-reunion, as you can see from the pictures and other subsequent photos I will be publishing here.

Being on the other side of the globe, I was contented to view the pictures and read the emails; and with way too much time on my hands...

Bot: "Luth, umuulan ba?"

Luth: "Inde, laway ni kwan yan..."

Bot: "Ayan, nawala na?"

Luth: "Ano ka ba, basta strike a pose na!"


Bot: "Luth mamaya, solo ako ha?"


Luth: "Oo naman... ikaw pa."

Tadah.... Si Cleopatra...

[Sabi ni Luth] "Nawawala si Anthony... pati grapes nawala na rin... kinain ni Luth !!! ... grapes lang... hindi si Anthony!!!"

Iniwan si Anthony at ipinagpalit sa mga high school BFFs... di bah!

*Kathang isep isep lang... walang mapipikon ha?
