Bits N Pieces

Marlon Garcia

Greetings from the Lone Star State!!! I am not yet sure, as of this writing, whether to write a short story about myself or just submit a resume for your perusal. But I remember one moment of those happy past, when our teacher (whoever she was) made us write about something we did the past summer. More like a formal theme, but it used up a good three pages of borrowed bond papers. See, my point is, a summer vacation can consume three pages of non-sense, do we have enough space for 24 years, Alan? Anyway, I really enjoyed reading all of the write-ups, and the pictures of the past and present. It's amazing to see how time can change a person. Some of you, I know, I won't be able to recognize anymore. Probably because of the tremendous change brought about by natural or via surgical causes. I hope it's not the latter. I guess most of you must have known that I succumbed to marriage at a very early age. I guess it was the fad (getting married) those days and I was just a victim of circumstance. Out of that marriage, I had two beautiful and adorable kids. They are the best things that have ever happened to me. My son, Pablo John, who just turned 21 last March, is slowly inching his way to finish College. He is working at the same time. Kind of following the footsteps of his Dad, yes, he is already married. He is an excellent guitar player, and plays regularly in one of the bars at Queens, New York. I thought he said at one time that they have a CD released already. But I really want him to finish his studies first. And that's our agreement. For how long, I still don't know. I love him so dearly. My daughter, Teza, is my darling. She's 18 years old, and now a high school senior. She wanted to go to Yale, or Princeton for College, but she will settle to any other University as long as it is New York University. She's multi-talented. She's a volleyball varsity player in her school, and at one time the class president. She was a finalist of the Miss Teen New Jersey last year. Unfortunately, she did not make it because of "lutong macaw". It's the easiest excuse from a father, who also feels the pain of losing. But honestly, she has won the hearts of everybody, especially our nearest relatives. Win or lose, she will always be Miss Teen USA to me! Both of my children are the greatest. They gave life to my meaningless soul. I am now single, probably NOT the most eligible bachelor, and working with the University of Houston as the Contracts Manager. It's a challenging job, and gets even tougher every day. I'm just lucky, my boss, who is a lawyer, is so kind and understanding. If I'm loaded with work, he would never attempt to go near me, he knows I bark. My life here is a routine, I wake up very early in the morning, get prepared, drive an hour to work, and go home cook noodles or hard boiled egg for dinner. It's a fun life, isn't it? I do my laundry regularly too! But what I like most about my life now is the space and the serenity when I come home. It gives me time to think about things, a lot of things. Listening to Burt Bacharach, or Barry Manilow, or the Carpenters, spices up my evening even more. But there's more to it than just work, work, work. We have a very solid Filipino community here, and we do plan weekend activities like, camping, crabbing, fishing, and hold gatherings almost every weekend. It's nice, it diminishes the pain of missing my kids when I'm with my friends. I have my ups and downs in life, so to speak, but I learned a great deal because of that. I know damn well that whites should not be mixed with colored shirts! The experiences I went through and the people I had the chance to meet, made me what I am today. And all of you played a great role in molding my life into a well- rounded stomach. Whether good or bad, they are all a part of me. I would really love to see you all. And as our dear teacher would fondly yell, while I was finishing up my formal theme, "Please pass your papers, finish or not finish", is now a fitting call, to all our classmates to submit and tell us a little about what they have become. After 24 years, man, that's a long time! Let us unite and exert a little effort to get to know each other once again, and make this reunion the grandest of all! Pictures, to follow....

Christopher and Amy (Sol) Ignacio

Greetings from the Florida Keys!!! Married only "once" to the lady you all know "Amy Sol". Lived in Manila after we got married and pursued a business importing car care service equipment from Italy for Caltex Philippines. Resided in Ayala Alabang for 4 years, then back to Cebu to open up "Shrimpura To Go". After a year--we took a vacation with the kids in Orlando, Florida to see sights of Disney World. My sister-in-law invited us to stay for good in the U.S. and thought it was a good idea. The first 10 years was a roller coaster ride both emotionally and financially. It was not easy for us to adjust to the lifestyle here--back home the kids had yayas and chores were taken cared of by the maids. Almost all of the money we brought went to the immigration lawyers, so I had to work day and night. I had to deliver pizzas!!! Hey, what's wrong with free pizzas I brought home every night. And I was the Technical Engineer and Consultant for Sands of the Keys, a Canon Copier Dealer for the Florida Keys. We have 2 lovely daughters Sarah & Stephanie and 3 sons Franz, Ben, and Christian. Sarah 16 and Stephanie 14 are both president of the Student Council; both participants in a world-wide competition for Oddessey of the Mind. My 3 sons are aspiring Tiger Woods. Franz has been in the South Florida Junior PGA for the last 4 years. He is turning 18 and will be going to college on a full 4 year-scholarship in FIU. Ben, 9 years old is starting to go on tour invitations. Christian, 1 year old is already practicing his swings. I still love to play golf and was invited to qualify for the Doral Ryder Open 2000. Since I did not qualify I continued to do the next best thing---stay home and play hole in one...ha ha ha (ooops). The family loves to go fishing, lobster diving, and spear fishing. Amy & I both work for the United States Postal Service and on the side we have Island Bamboo which contracts bamboo furniture from the Philippines to hotels, resorts, and restaurants all over the country. We welcome you to visit our booth come August 2002 in the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando. Our teachers at U.P. High, our great experiences with them and you all guys contributed to what we are now. Amy & I are looking forward to our 25th High School Reunion. And in the meantime let us enjoy each one's "life story" and browse over the photos of our cherished youth and photos of what we look like now.

Update from Amy - 2008

I left the United States Postal Service in 2006. This gave me the opportunity to concentrate in managing the overall administrative tasks for our import business which was established since 1999. Island Bamboo, Inc. is currently a nationwide Indoor & Outdoor Furniture supplier for the hospitality industry. We are also in TV, Internet and Catalog merchandising. A chosen few of our products are celebrity endorsed through one of the home shopping networks in the United States. I believe Chris and I could claim that, Island Bamboo, Inc. is a U.S. based Corporation & Importer, owned and managed by Filipino Nakatunobers who have penetrated the marketing & merchandising arena through the media. Extending foreign exposure to our Philippine products.

Chris, as the CEO of the company, is beloved by every customer as he incorporates the Filipino trait of having to extend great service without the client having to pay the extra dollar for the service beyond what is due. Such service separates him from all the other multi-million dollar companies that compete with Island Bamboo.

The union of our true spirit of entrepreneurship and Chris as a Mechanical Engineer fueled our lives a vast and multi-level of life’s adventure. We both have always felt our incredible passion together to succeed in any endeavor, may it be in relationship, goals, and spiritually. Our failures and successes are our great teachers.

To sum up our family life, we are one big happy family. Chris and I are parents of five wonderful children any parent can be proud of! As Chris’ wife, I can say, “I’m the happiest woman alive”. I elevate him the best entrepreneur, boss, husband, father and a great friend.

“Chris and Amy” was always a team from the very start. As you all know without U.P. Cebu High this story would have been in vain.

See you come July 2008!

Message of gratitude and acceptance

by Telibert Laoc

2003 Outstanding UP Achiever Award in the Field of Electoral Reform by the University of the Philippines Cebu Chapter Alumni Association 17 January 2003, Montebello Villa Hotel, Cebu City

I humbly accept this year's award of Outstanding Achiever in the Field of Electoral Reform and I sincerely thank the association and the Awards Committee for this recognition. I offer this award to the hundreds of thousands of selfless, gallant, and hopeful women and men volunteers of Namfrel throughout the country who have given me the honor to be their servant. This award that the association has given me is an affirmation that being in the company of persons who collectively share and live the dream of setting an example of active citizenry, contributing toward a stronger and progressive democracy, participating in improved governance and, advocating for improved quality of life for all Filipinos, is indeed a noble vocation. The volunteers have served as my inspiration and have provided me a strong sense of purpose and commitment to pursue a cause, which others would readily dismiss as an "impossible dream". Seventeen years ago during the 1986 Snap Presidential Elections, I was a pollwatcher of Namfrel in Tabogon. I was there to help ensure that the voters there are free to express their will on the ballot. Rey Gavino, a high school classmate at UP and close friend invited me to volunteer. Little did I know that that experience would become a turning point in my professional, personal, and spiritual life. I spent a good three years since then organizing, priming and strengthening chapters in each municipality and city in Cebu. Every election since then, of which there were some 17 local and national polls, I was provided the opportunity of being available to volunteer and with each occasion being offered increasing duties and more responsibilities. In 1995, Joecon Concepcion offered the position of executive directorship. I remember our conversation, "Joe, I have eight months in Manila (my wife and I were planning to move back to Cebu to have children but she couldn't get out of her job until the end of the year) and I asked myself that if I had that long to live, what would I do? I said would do something that I would really like to do and that would be to become full-time volunteer of Namfrel." "No, you can't just be a volunteer. We'll create a position for you," was Joe's reply. The job, as it would turn out would require constancy and steadfastness in advocacy; administration and management of the largest non-partisan volunteer election monitoring organization in the world, establishing working relationship with the Commission on Elections (Comelec), and at numerous times engage them in an adversarial position; liaising with Congress; and communicating to the volunteer and donor corps that the organization is deserving of their continuing support. My most memorable experience in promoting reforms in the electoral system was in 1997 when we were working on the bill that would automate the counting and canvassing of the elections together with the members of the Senate and House committees, and the Comelec. It was a momentous occasion to be crafting the bill word-for-word knowing that the outcome would change the conduct of elections in the country forever. At the Senate hearing of that bill, I remember being beside the late senator Marcelo Fernan as he delivered his privilege speech and responded to questions during the interpellation. It is a practice in Congress that "resource persons," such as me at that time would hand information through written notes to the legislator in response to some queries during in the interpellation. Senator Fernan was vice chair of the committee and sponsor of the bill and interpellating him was senator Miriam Santiago, chair of the same committee but who took a contrary position on the proposed bill. Senator Santiago's "resource person" was Comelec commissioner Remedios Fernando. Looking back, kataw-anan kaayo ang sitwasyon. Namfrel was advocating procedural reforms and Comelec was preventing it from being passed. This bill would eventually be passed and would be known as the Election Automation Law of 1997 or Republic Act 8436. For me this would easily be the most significant electoral reform in the country which electoral process has not significantly changed since the first election in 1898 in Malolos, Bulacan. That was indeed a triumph in advocacy! But as all of you know, this law has never been fully implemented and up to this time the electorate has been deprived of its benefits. Starting in July of 2001, a mere two months after the elections and 34 months before the next, I convened several professional organizations primarily from the information technology sector into committees that would assist the Comelec implement the much needed automation program. Our reflection was that Comelec, after missing two occasions to implement the program, would not be able to do the job even if it had the resources of government. In fact, its Constitutional autonomy posed a block in accessing line services from the Executive. In effect, it was practically left on its own to implement a program that they were not being primed to implement. Plus, the organization did not possess the necessary competencies to do it. The only recourse was for the private sector, that had the needed competencies, to "handhold" the Comelec - visualize scenarios, plan execution, assess risks, delve into IT (information technology) project management, craft a communications plan, etc. I did not mean this a negative consequence but I believe the private sector intervention was an appropriate response to get the job done and at the same time preserve the independence of the Comelec. I would dare say that never has the private sector been in a position to effectively cooperate with government and assist in the fruition of important reforms in the electoral process. To date we are seeing real promising signs that the counting and canvassing of the elections in 2004, which is 16 months away, will be automated nationwide. You will read and hear in the news in the coming few days of efforts and commitments to realize this. And when we have shut out vulnerabilities in the electoral process by automating the counting and canvassing, we then could concentrate on other significant reforms, which are: 1) encouraging good and honest people to run (for election) and improve the quality of candidates; 2) reducing the cost of election; 3) improving the competency and administrative capability of the Comelec and secure public support for the institution; and 4) getting more of the electorate to participate in ensuring free and fair elections (which is a notch higher that clean and honest polls). The first song that my father taught me when I was about four or five years old was "Impossible Dream." This is also one of the theme songs of Namfrel. And with my last ounce of courage I will pursue the dreams that I have just shared with you, even if others would readily dismiss it as impossible. Before you tonight is a person, whom you my mentors, classmates and fellow alumni have helped shape and mold. Someone whom you have influenced to love country and people, to be available when asked to serve and to not say "no" to a worthy challenge or noble cause. Someone who would choose the road less traveled over that which has been trodden or paved. Someone whom you have taught to always continue learning, to be teachable always; and reap the benefits of age and experience and grow wiser with it. Before you is someone who has committed a significant time and part of his life to something that is more significant, which is the pursuit of a better quality of life for your people. To all these, I am most grateful to you and to my only other alma mater (the other one is of course my elementary school). My parents have taught me to be most appreciative of people. I will forever be grateful to the ordinary coconut and tomato farmers, fisher-folks, laborers and others who came to my mother for a cure from their illness. She would not just treat that which ails them but she would also heal them. Without the ordinary people of Sibonga this person before you would probably not have been who he is today. They, too, molded and shaped me. My father taught me to be always cognizant of the graces of the Good Lord. For someone to be able to face various professional challenges in spite of, only one explanation would be fitting - that this person has allowed God to chart his course. The Good Lord has also blessed me to be in the company of and influenced by good people, foremost of whom are Jose Concepcion, Jr. and Vicente Jayme. I hope to deserve His Graces and that He continues to work in me, for He has done so all of these years. My wife taught me to loving friendship and she has to a large extent molded and shaped me - and this I will always treasure. My training, time, and experiences at U.P. are without doubt the most formative and most influential. The teachings from the institution, those from my parents, from my colleagues, and from the volunteers of Namfrel have combined and formed core values that I have and continue to imbibe. These teachings have not remained lodged in my mind but they live in and rule my heart. You have decided to bestow this person before you tonight the recognition of acts past, and as my active response I will do my best to continue to deserve this award. I will continue to live with passion "Excellence and Honor Through Service" and continue to revere the affirmation of your award.

Daghan kaayong salamat ug maayong gabi-i kaninyong tanan.

Lida Solon

GREETINGS!

I'm sure not all of you remember me. So let me re-introduce myself, I'm LIDA AGUILAR formerly LIDA SOLON. Since I was able to fool Jose Mari T. Aguilar into thinking that I'm the most beautiful, I became his wife on May 1987. In the 21years of being married, we're blessed with two children, Isabela Maria 18 and Juan Miguel 9. Isa, taking-up Secondary Education (she plans to shift to Psych) is in her third year in U.P. Diliman. While Juan is still going to be grade 4 in Colegio de la Inmaculada Conception. Joey is an employee of San Miguel Corporation. I used to work as a RTW designer for one of the garment factory here in Cebu. Now, when asked what I do for a living, I would say, DH (driver, yaya, labandera, cook,GRO for my husband only). Better yet, Operations Manager of the Aguilar household. We are one of the working class family in the Philippines... always trying to make ends meet... doing the best that we can for our children. But we always manage to SURVIVE even against all odds. I know that I don't have great achievements to write about. I have not become somebody important in the community. But I'm very sure that to Joey, Isa and Juan I'm a VIP in their lives!

It's hard to believe that it's been 25 years. I still vividly remember that one morning when I climbed over the fence to go to Manang's. A leg of my pants got caught on the top barbed wire and I had to grab on with my bare hands. I still have the scars on my palm --- a permanent reminder of those darn bell-bottoms! I must say that we looked cool in them in our class pictures. As Austin Powers might say: "Very retro, baby!." Like many of you, my world revolves mainly around my family. I live in Martinez, CA, with my wife of 11 years, Lark Regner, a long-time SF Bay Area native. Lark used to work as an accountant but now stays home with the kids. She enjoys gardening and decorating our home and sews her own drapes, pillow covers, duvets, etc. When we sleep in on weekend mornings, two munchkins crawl into our bed. Stefan Carlo is 6 and is as rough and hyper as boys come. He has mellowed a bit recently and has stopped carrying his little sister upside-down. He's always very eager to learn and I'm very proud of the guy for learning to swim just this summer. Hopefully, he'll swim well enough to enjoy snorkeling with me in Mactan next summer. Bronte Elizabeth is 14 months old, a bit of a handful but very smart and sweet. She's into hiding things now. Every garbage day, I screen the trash for spoons, keys and pocket change, among other things. Lately, I've been finding my TV remote in the trash or tucked in one of her Huggies packs. I think it's her way of telling me to cut back on CNBC and ESPN and spend more time with her. Coming home to these two is what I look forward to each day. I feel so blessed and life's been good. I've been working in the business software field for almost 20 years. I made a brief career veer from Oct. '01 to Apr. '02 and plunged into full-time stock trading. The market was starting to rise from a sudden low last Sept. and I figured that I could ride it back up. I was doing fine until the Enron debacle dampened the market. Then it was mostly downhill from there but I was lucky enough to get out in time. So I'm back in the software arena and am currently working as a technical consultant for Charles Schwab in downtown San Francisco. It's not as exciting but it sure beats risking my shirt in the stock market. I'm still very much into playing sports. I play indoor pickup basketball every week and play in 2 USTA tennis tournaments every year. I occasionally play golf to relax with family and friends. I visit this site every week. It's always refreshing to hear from old friends and get bits and pieces of where and how they are now. Allan, thank you for initiating this virtual reunion. You've always had a knack for pulling people together. And thank you for finding time in your busy schedule to maintain this site. Carl's Family Pics

Two years after college, I came to New York to take my masters in Structural engineering at Manhattan College. I've worked as a civil engineer for a couple of years and had some good experience in the design and construction of high rises in Manhattan. I got interested in programming and went to school again to study computer programming. I've since worked in the technology field and is currently working for Prudential Securities in Manhattan. I had the unfortunate experience of being in the World Trade Center when the plane hit the towers( I take the train to go to New York and the station is inside the World Trade Center). I'm currently living in New Jersey with my wife Lourdes and our 8 year old daughter Nicole. I'm so glad that we have this website. It brings back a lot of memories about high school that I haven't thought of in ages. Everyday at work, I always check this website to see what is new. I have seen Liklik, Rey Gavino and Allan when they were here in New Jersey. Gavino is still the same, always smiling. Claire, that is a very awesome newsletter that you have. I would like to congratulate everyone involved in setting up this website. This is really a terrific idea. I can't wait to hear about everybody else. I am very interested in that reunion that you guys are planning. Keep it coming guys. Take care. Bobby's Family Pics

For several years, I have been looking forward to know the whereabouts of my high school classmates. I finally had the chance to surf through the website for our high school batch. I enthusiastically read the write-ups of classmates who shared their life experiences and looked at pictures of classmates in their recent years. Frankly speaking, I could hardly recognize some faces. As much as I feel a sense of nostalgia while looking at the website, I am amazed by the diversity of professional and personal journeys that my high school classmates have taken. I am very grateful to Allan Dolores for his dedication to develop and maintain this website and to those who made their contributions to it. Now, it’s my turn to share with you a glimpse of my life experience. I am currently residing at Peoria, Illinois, U.S.A. This major city of Illinois lies south of Chicago (a driving distance of about 3.5 hours by car). I work at Caterpillar Inc. as a senior research engineer. This company is known for its yellow colored earth-moving machines (tractors, bulldozers, etc.). I support the design and manufacturing of these machines through research activities in the field of materials science. In addition, I manage a laboratory that provides technical services to business units in the corporation. In 1983, I completed a B.S. degree in geology at U.P. Diliman. (In my undergraduate years, I frequently encountered several of our high school classmates.) After my college graduation, I worked at the Philippine Institute of Volcanology in Quezon City for about a year. (This was the time when I lost contact of all my high school classmates.) In December of 1984, I came to the U.S. to pursue a M.S. degree in geology at the University of Illinois at Chicago. After finishing my M.S. program, I decided to pursue a higher degree, changed my academic interest, and obtained a doctorate in metallurgy in 1993 from the same school. I took postdoctoral positions at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Atlanta, Georgia) and then at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee (where the first atomic bomb was built). In 1997, Caterpillar hired me initially as a contract worker for my experience in geology and metallurgy. In 2000, I became a management employee of Caterpillar and took a different responsibility that does not involve geology anymore. This new job is the one that I currently maintain. I am married to Avena, the woman I met in UP Diliman during the later part of my college years. Raised in Quezon City, she also finished a B.S. degree in geology at UP Diliman and then acquired a M.S. degree in the same field at the University of South Florida (Tampa, Florida). We got married in 1989 and have two wonderful, gifted sons, Warren and Adrian, who are 11 and 6 years old, respectively. My wife has sacrificed her career to be a full-time mother and housewife. Currently, she intends to go back to the work force and pursue her career aspirations. I find great pleasure in re-connecting with high school classmates who have changed so much in various aspects. I hope to learn more of other ‘lost’ classmates who would someday re-introduce themselves in our website. Elmer's Family Pics

Since I can remember, I have always wanted to be a doctor. As fate would have it, I was not able to proceed but ended up as a licensed Med. Tech. I worked in the profession for some years then for a year I was plying the coastal routes of Europe as cabin crew in a luxury liner. A year after I got married & gave birth to my only child, a daughter, I had to quarrel my husband every other day so he will allow me to go back to work. From then on, I have been in the telecoms industry, survived a merger & hopefully will survive another one. In joining this industry, I only aspired to have a "no brainer" job…..kutawg kape, tubag ug telephono, smile sa bisita….basta lang naay trabajo outside of the home. Fortunately for me (unfortunately for the company?) I climbed the corporate ladder & ended senior manager of customer service in Visayas. Well, that was prior to the merger. Now I am with SMART Telecoms as manager of VIP Accounts for VisMin. I got married to my boyfriend of 7 years, Jude, who is a pediatrician and 3 years my senior. We've been married for 14 years now & blessed with our one-and-only, Dawn Lorraine. Dawn was born in California & she's 13 years old. She is in 1st year high school at Sacred Heart School for Girls, with a burning ambition to enter Harvard and be a doctor like her dad. Her 2-year stint as member of the local TV variety show, Ang TV, did not improve her shyness at all. She's very good in math & techno savvy too, (maynalang wala maliwat sa mama) and into softball in school. Aside from that, her sports life is nil. As long as the cable's working fine, internet is connected or there are books to read, Dawn can stay home for days. Jude played tennis since his elementary years, until about 5 years ago when he shifted to golf. He used to be the silent-shy type until he got married to me! Natagdan nako & now ako ang ma-silent niya sa katabian. He is very techo-savvy (from my point of view, at least) & works in his pc until the wee hours of the morning. My family lives in Guadalupe, Cebu City with our black German Shepherd, Wolfie (Dawn christened her Wolfie Amadea Faelnar). The picture attached was taken sometime this May in Sydney where 3 of my siblings reside. It took sometime for the 3 of us to agree which pic to send. See you all soon!!

My memories right now are
* (very vividly gyud) Ruben Lardizabal's "ga-i kog diez (Ps0.10) bi" during recess time, when we used to buy ice candy in manang's sari-sari store, and his "pa sip-a ko beh" to those having softdrinks.
* there was 1 time when my whole pack of Timbura (katong corn gani....the plastic packaging is still very vivid to me gyud) nayabo kay mamugos gyud si Allan Merced to get from the pack unya ako lang siyang taga-an ug 2 pieces!
* the very lo-oy look of Alberto Velez' face and my kalibog ngano dili gyud siya pahatud/pakuha sa ilang driver in the school campus instead of him walking all the way from where he is dropped/picked up.
* the hair-raising spirit-of-the-glass session at the back of the library....that time when the "spirit" said it was inside the library reading a particular book
* the summer CAT officers training where we were blind-folded by the "stupid" officers....where I got hit in the lip by the wooden rifle of a co-trainee...which until now na-a pa gyud ang scar (albeit tiny ra)
* akong pagka "awe" nilang Claire, Annette, Connie & company - how could they be so pretty & sexy & dalaga nga pareha ra man kog edad nila
* Barbra who I've never seen button her belt around her waist...it was buttoned alright pero nagbitay sa iyang back. In one of our Ms. de la Cerna's classes ngadto atbang sa main building, unya naa man ko nag lingkod sa iyang back, gi hikot nako sa iyang chair ang belt! Kulba kaayo ko kay she raised her hand to answer a question unya (you know how she sits awfully straight) maayo nalang it was Melvin Cabahug who was called (wa siya ka answer :-)). But still, Barbs moved so nasakpan ko and gisiga-an gyud kos dako niyang mata!
* Eating my lunch with Soccy & Nieva-Sulfur & Irma Saniel ngadtos& Hannah (man sad tingali) volleyball scoreboard--- how Irma eats her lunch so fast nga dili pa mi maka 1/4 sa amoa, done na siya.
* the scare of my life, when during our geometry class with Mr. Castillo sa 2/f main, nahagbong ang ceiling fan sa pikas classroom unya na injured gani si Patricia Fortunato ba to? Incidentally, when I had my MBA sa UP & had that same classroom (way back 1997), na gihapon ang "stump" adtong ceiling fan, beside the new (well relatively) fan..... sus maryosep sad, hasta ang mga cobwebs ba, tu-a gihapon sa same spots nila.
