The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf

Gateway Mall, Cubao

Potter’s Place Elementary School Batch 2005 finally came together, in Manila no less, three years older (and hopefully wiser) to catch up on how life has been over tea and coffee.

This was us then:

From left to right: Armie at Balay Tubay on one of our many nights spent there; Armie at Rose’s house on the hill playing with the apples; and, Armie and I on the boat to Miniloc.

I got lots of pictures of Eric! Hahaha! From left to right and top to bottom:

Eric in the boat to Miniloc; Eric and Armie “hanging out” on the boat; Eric, the sea urchin and I having fun after a dive at Twin Rocks; Kuya Mezach (the greatest boatman in the whole wide world), Joy and Eric during dinner at Miniloc; Eric, the bloated cowfish; Kuya Tani, Eric and Kuya Bong making music at Balay Tubay; Eric and I in Derrick’s boat at the Big Lagoon; Joy, Grace and Eric on the boat to Miniloc; and, best friends shadows.. Eric and I.
From left to right and top to bottom too:

Grace, wet from swimming in the river at the farm; Grace and I hanging out at the beach at night; Grace and Joy hanging out at Kevin’s house in Caalan beach one sunny afternoon; Grace and Joy about to snorkel in Miniloc; and Grace, Cecille and I hanging out on that happy night at the beach.
(The usual scheme):

First two pics are of me and Joy getting drunk at Balay Tubay before we all flew out and back to Manila for sem break; Joy and I when we weren’t really sunburned yet and I was still really skinny, May 2005, first plane ride to El Nido via ITI, photo taken by Grace’s instamatic; Joy sitting on Kuya Loy’s boat on the beach outside Rose’s house; Joy and I while waiting for the other paddle boat one Saturday morning; and, Joy and Armie on top of the limestone cliffs on another Saturday morning.
These photos of me are taken by Eric.

On the left was while we were hanging out at Lugadya Beach one boring Sunday afternoon and the one on the right was taken in Miniloc. I’ve got the walkway coming out of my ears. Hahaha. I wonder too when I’m gonna be as healthy-looking as I am in this picture. (ponder.. ponder..)
Female faculty on Recognition Day; Ryan, some of our local friends and us at the foot of taraw after that rigorous climb; Armie, Grace, Vorjan and I in a picture that Joy took one sunny Sunday morning, in our messy room and in our messy selves; and us (sans Grace) at the bar in Miniloc.
That third picture above is in keeping with the “we are so into blurry pics of ourselves” theme. :) And this last picture is Eric’s way of saying he missed me and taking pictures of me when I’m not looking. Hahaha.

This is us now:

Teacher Virgie is married and being plain housewife (as of the moment), Teacher Joy is having fun with her absolutely gorgeous and adorable expat little kids in Singapore, Teacher Armie is on her way to Slovenia (deservingly happy and in love), Teacher Grace is back to teaching high school Chemistry near her house (for a change) and Teacher Eric is still living the artist’s life!

I really did miss Armie my groovy roommate, Eric my best friend, Joy my laughing buddy and Grace my computer games buddy. :)
