Mga kapatid..this is Evelyn Abueva in California blogging to you about the 4th annual Christmas Party of the Notre Dame of Gen Santos City Alumni Association,USA Southern California Chapter.
I was privileged to be invited to attend this party held on December 13 at the Heritage Park Community Center, 2900 South Brea Canyon Road,Diamond Bar, CA..
This is the 4th year celebration and luckily I had been to all 4 parties.What a wonderful feeling to be seeing the Damians last night, I saw familiar faces.
I was greeted by Edith Yumang Shermer, Elena Tingzon-Gonzales and Haydee Villanueva-Soto. Then a very pretty, charming lady was waving at me but I could not recognize her at first. And she said "hindi mo ako nakilala no?" Geeez, she's the sister pala of our kabatch Rowena Villanueva, Lavinia Villanueva of batch '72. Truly, she has not aged, still young looking, mapagkamalang 23 yrs old, no kidding!!!!
I saw and had a chit chat with Bing Lim-Villagante, Pet Lopez-Chiu, Eddie Lozano. Gosh sila lang ang mga kakilala ko doon (they're the only ones I know).
The food: Of course a party is not complete without the food. There was the traditional lechon, puto, cassava cake, biko and more -- very Filipino -- making me miss the Philippines
The Program: the audience was wowed by the performance of the chorale ensemble of Pinoy Christmas songs, a comical skit of adam and eve, santa distributing gifts to the children and gift giving, raffle prizes and yours truly was the first winner of the raffle drawn last night (lucky me..hehehehe) and then dancing.
Well, it was a night to remember, a night of Damians enjoying the spirit of family and togetherness during this Christmas season. Bye for now and merry Christmas to one and all!
