April hath put a spirit of youth in everything.
~ William Shakespeare

March has given way to April which, in turn, has showered us with new additions to the list:
- Cecille Castaneda, came upon our site and left a comment over at the Pictures page. Cecille is now Mrs. Gil. Earlier in February, we were found, too, by Xeres de Keyser (now, DiNitto) who shared childhood memories with the batch. Cecille and Cherie are based in the United States.
- Lleander Enciso (second from left, above) has joined the loop, too! Lleander, based in California, is married with kids, one of whom is a key player of the AZN Knights basketball team which won the recent Asian Youth Basketball League tournament in San Francisco against the Hoopsters (below, “No. 5″).

- Edmundo Alindogan has been found! Mandy (3rd from left, top photo) migrated to the US after our graduation but regularly comes home. Mandy is an accountant in Michigan and hopes to be back soon in time for yet another reunion. Mandy is married with kids (below).

- Finally, a real-world reunion with the livewire and very busy Florenda Jalandoni (right, top photo). Olen spent many years with Avon Philippines and played an important function in helping put up the Breast Care Center at the Philippine General Hospital (PGH) until her early retirement last year. Post-Avon work for Olen now means being an independent cosmetic distributor, a breast cancer awareness advocate and personal events coordinator. Read more about the reunion with Olen here.
- Another find, with Enrique Henry Enriquez, elated in touching base again, after twenty years, with the boys. Henry, US-based, is married.
- Included in the top photo is Melanie Soriano (left-most), now Guzman, who runs a vet hospital with her husband in Washington State. Like Lleander, Lanie’s son is a sports buff and a member of his school’s Swim Club. Lanie, of course, has touched-base with us last year and sent photos for the November ‘07 Reunion, among them, of the family break they had at the beach (below).

Keep us posted, everyone.
UPDATE: 10 December 2008
We share Lleander Enciso’s pride in the recent winning of Terra Nova High basketball team through his son Simon Enciso’s decisive last minute 3-point shot. Read the article here.



hi all,
i just want to say kudos to rachel for a painstakingly giving her talent, time and energy to come up with this website. if not for her, sja’82 wordpress will not exist. we will not be reunited with our long lost friends. it’s such a nice feeling to be reconnected with most of our batchmates. and hopefully more classmates will find us! more power to you, rachel!
and also for dante’s effort on the yahoo group!
regards to all,
annie
