Hi, My name is Cyd Olson. I am a 1979 Nursing graduate of Davao Doctors Hospital School of Nursing. Back then I was Cyd Beryl Jardinel. My family and friends call me Pinky but a lot of close friends, classmates, aquaintances and everybody else simply calls me "Cyd."
I came to the U.S. in 1983 and had been living here eversince. I am in Texas now. When I first came, I had some contacts with my classmates in New York but eventually I lost contact with them. Recently, Olym found me and then Suzette, then Charie. It was great to hear from them and It felt so good to once again feel like we were back in the old times.
It would be great to have a reunion, after all its been 30 years!!!
If you find your name here please log-in and post, it may require a google account.
Please give update about yourself and your location. Thanks so much and I hope we can all get together someday.

Lets start working overtime na...and plan...I would be of great help for committee..
hi you all,
we've been waiting for this time...so why don't we do some adjustments now we still have 8 months to work overtime and come up with the datong and also we can start bargaining with our bosses to have the vacation in aug. 2009so that we could all have a good time and catch up with our long lost friends.
it would very meaningful kay 1979 then 2009.9 is a lucky number.
sorry , if i sound so pusshhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyy...:)
hi guyz,
can we all chat online via yahoo messenger? i am yeknom17@yahoo.com
Maybe we can also call it Medical mission with reunion 2009.. para tax deductable and we can help our kababayan or school... tapos mag solicite tayo ng medical supplies or medicine...then the rest we all party and have fun....
Last time I went home 2007 I've met DR. Lopez...our OB_GYNE.. his family here in chicago..pangitaon naku usab !!!!!
medical mission/reunion,it's a good idea sylva. why don't you get hold of somebody in davao so our group would be included in the medical mission.
okay Leo I/We will try and ask my friends here who did medical mission, maybe you can inquire too while you're there....
sounds like a great idea. OK, go for it and keep us posted!
Medical Mission sounds to be a good idea. I think we need doctors to help us do it. Who can we ask? Olymp, I know your brother and sister-in-law are doctors. Maybe they can help us or they could recruit somebody else to donate their time or anyone who has some connections with some medical people can recruit for help.
hi
sure! they actually are doing mission on a regular basis.pangotanon nako sila...
My brother is a missionary in Manila and he has conducted medical missions. I will ask him if he knows the docs we can partner with. Olym's brods and sis would be good too. Let us know.
Hi You all! Now I'm so happy that we have come to a consensus..yeeeheey.So I will gather as much information from my friends..were moving along...thanks olym,pinky,lulu,leo
We need to decide on the exact dates please so we can start requesting for vacation at work.
hi pinks,
i think last week of aug.2009 will be perfect.:)
Hi everyone,
I think that if we get the consensus for next year, third week of August will be perfect. The last week of August is time to prepare for kids going back to school for some of us.
How about 2nd to mid 3rd week of August; my kids school usually starts 3rd week and they dont like being late when school opens missing all the fun and volleyball games, would you consider that?
kadayawan is third week of August, it's a week celebration, maybe 2nd week is fine.Then when are we going to do the medical mission?
hi all,
we can have our bonding sa among bukid para wala kaayoy gasto naa miy polpol,binukid style na pool.dala lang ug sleeping bag.
Any week in August is fine with me, I just need to specifically request the week. so I think 2nd week is safe to assume. I think we should only do 2 days of medical missions. I am a little old lady and I don't want a hectic schedule. then 3-5 days of socializing is good and I like the idea of staying at Olym's free resort with my sleeping bag. I also have to spend time with my Phil family so I'll give them a week then I want to have time with my USA family before going back to work. So I should request a whole month off.
hi guys,albert ni,its good to hear from you all,after all those long years,looking forward to see you people.tirading mi ni leo at times sa phone,kay ganda na ating musika at dapat ka bang mangibang bayan?
alchel my daughter is always in the net,pilit na iyang nawong ,he he he. God Bless you all people!!!!
So our target date is August 2009 di ba? OK NA!
HI ALBERT AND RACHEL..good to hear from you...
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello Albert and Rachel. We still need specific dates in August.
Here is the guidelines for a medical mission.

Hi Lydia, nice to hear from you. I agree with one day medical mission- I can handle that- and since you are already in Public Health then you can just take us to wherever you want us to be.
Everybody- Listen to Lydia, just One day Medical mission! Now we have other days left over for 1 day greet and visit with catered food then a program so Leo and albert can sing to us and maybe our former dancers can dance to us.
hi everybody,can you guys send me your student day picture,like with the lavander apron with cap.i am making a cd for our reunion slideshow.thanks
Merry Christmas!:)
please check www.youtube.1979DDHSN the clinical eye.wmv
sorry,youtube rejected my file...too big
sorry about that...do you think you can split the movie maker between old curr and new curr then the file won't be too big? you can also try photobucket.com and you can make a remix of it.
what happened?now that we decided to have the reunion next year, wala nay nagpost og comments.i just want to let you know i'm leaving for pinas this coming dec. 14. i'll try to meet some of our classmates in davao.merry x'mas and a happy new year to all of you.sylva,any news on the medical mission? i've talked to oswald, he'll try to attend the reunion next year.hope to read your comments soon.
merry christmas Leo.have fun in davao and stay safe.God Bless!regards to everybody ...
thanks olym. merry x mas too. i'll let you know kung unsay nahitabo sa davao.
Merry Christmas everyone! Happy trip Leo... keep us updated.
pinky, merry xmas too. regards daw ingon ni ronie, naka hinomdom na siya sa imo. hehehehehe
Hi!Everyone, sorry for my long silence..I just wanna make sure I got enough information or at least something to share with....i am not sure what kind of reunion were up to...but here's how medical mission is about according to my friends who did some...
1.WE have to coordinate with local government,maybe provincial health office;and since we are nurses;need Doctors..
2. Identification of Benefeciaries, we can pick up the most or at least depressed areas in Davao.
A local office will have to acknowledge that they are aware of our mission maybe DDHosp, or provincial health and they are suporting our mission in letter, mail it back to us/me or anyone so we can have it authenticated by any state consul gen..I can do that since the consul here in chicagoMrs. Cabrera always join us when my kids perform for cultural group dances here in chicago, which we just did last sunday for Cultural winter fest.....
share us your input if we can do this as a group team work...Im not sure how much time can we share, if you want it one day or...
that eventhough it cost TIME,MONEY AND EFFORT, I beleive we are doing a novel project to our kababayan,to least fortunate ones..
SECONDLY, i just spoke to the person who does our taxes this is what he said...
Yes ,we can do tax write off for our expenses ;how mush time,money ,donations we make but at least 3t or depends on how much is your tax brackett.. so maybe include your family to join so we can file for tax he said this includes fare from here to dabaw.. sounds good!!!!
I think i said too much ..share your comments and lets see how this works.. we need input form DAvao people how we gonna work this out.
THANKS AND HAVE A BLESSED CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR...
Leo enjoy your vacation...
it may be good for you to get in touch with Lydia Alimes and she can coordinate with you. I'm for- one day only med mission- how about you guys whadya think?
hello,it's me leo.i met some of our classmates here in davao and everybody agreed to start looking for our classmates.i think there will be almost 50 of us who can attend the reunion.i got mrs.diaz and sabalas number.larry has a suggestion which is less expensive compared to medical mission.i advised him to make a comment para malaman niyo.merry xmas and a happynew year to all na lang.
nice to hear from you leo. I hope we hear from Larry and his suggestion. Have a Merry Christmas, enjoy your family and Have a happy new year.

Happy New Year!

Thanks for the birthday greetings olym, happy belated b day to you too. We are 50 now!!! Guys, can we celebrate our 50th b days in our reunion?
Larry, what a tremendous idea!!!
I have a poster I made about patient safety- can I bring that? And can I collaborate with other classmates about a topic? you said 1.5 hrs- can that be divided among a few of us so we won't be speaking all alone?
Patient Safety is really a big deal here in the US- maybe we can develop a theme around patient safety. Just a suggestion.
4 days seems too long though, can that be shortened?
Hi larry,that's really a good idea..whatever you guy's decide...I go along with it...
Thanks for the comments. Yes, maybe we can shorten it to three days.
I got a call from Lulu Montenegro this afternoon and she is interested to have topics needed by the students.
I need to work on the budget for the expenses will have so I have to go around Davao before I go back to Manila on January 8.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.........
Hoy Ms. Buanoy Balamba Cebu.........I have been in contact with your brother Benjie but never gave me your email ads. Its good that the daughter(Endocrinologist) of Dr. Vina San Juan gave me your telephone number and so Nora called you.
Hoy Ruben, kamusta naman ka......
I am really excited to see you all August 2009.....
Happy New Year to everybody and belated Happy Bday to Pinky. As what Larry has mentioned, we can be the speakers. Each one of us works in different areas, so we can talk about about the our specialties.This is getting more exciting as more classmates are getting involved. Larry has too many good practical suggestions. Thank you my friend. We had a good time having dinner with you.I talked to Edgar who is in Ireland and told him about the reunion. He's scheduled to go home June to attend his mom's 8oth bday but his wife told me that she'll convince him to attend the reunion .I also got an email from Camie Diuyan and she's in contact with Precy De la cruz. I'll talk to them when I get back.I'm having a good time here.
Leo,
I only remembered last Saturday evening, that I should have invited my self to join you in the celebration of Gingging's parents Golden Anniversary. Anyway, I am very happy to hear that you got in touched with Mely Diuyan. Where is she now? She retired from AstraZeneca. I suggest the we can publish all the names we have contacted together with their mobile numbers and email ads so that we can up date them with the plans and programs.
After the New Year, I will talk with the Davao Doctors College Alumni Center coordinator so that we can ask for assistance for the use of the classrooms for the seminars for the 4th BSN students at the same time do some preliminary meeting with the Dean of the College of Nursing.
Dats all for now....HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL......Pinky belated Happy Birthday.
Thanks guys!
If we have to talk to the students don't you think they would like to hear the diffrent kinds of nursing that we all do? Like Olym works at a burn unit... what is that like and why would she recommend burn nursing? We can just talk about the different specialty areas in Nursing. Its getting more exciting.
I'm going to ask our nursing educator if I can borrow her notes.
Larry, try to coordinate with Maybellyn Magno who is a CI at DDC whom I designated as the contact person in Davao. I told her to make a list of the cell numbers of our classmates and for them to start informing them about the reunion.I'll try to publish the numbers when I get back.
Pinky that's what Larry was suggesting for us to share with the students our areas of specialty so they can have an idea kung asa ta naga trabaho.I know it would be very informative for them.Thanks and keep posting guys.
OK, then that makes it easy. I won't need to borrow notes, I can just talk about pre-op from the bottom of my heart.
hi you all,Happy New Year!!!
this is really getting very exciting.
can we all chat online through the yahoo messenger ?
Hi everyone,
Belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all. I am enjoying all your comments and I think Larry,s Suggestion is really doable. We are not involving other people but us. All we need is a place to hold the conference. It is really so exciting that after 30 years we are sharing our experiences and get to see each other. Since Larry has good PR, he knows who to talk to.
It would also be nice if all areas of nursing are covered by our speakers because I'm sure most of us are in different fields and holding different positions. Of course we have time limits for each speaker so eveyone has a chance to speak.
I agree with Lulu. I talked to our nurse educator, just can't help it. She said she is going to loan me her stuff. It is already on DVD and designed for earning CEU's. How about that? It is about Deep Vein Thrombosis- we try to prevent it from the very beginning when we see the patient in pre-op. At least there'll be some substance now to my specialty. You guys can talk to your own nurse educators and borrow their stuff- wow!
Regarding the venue, Larry will be going to DDC and talk to the Dean of Nursing. I don't think it's going to be a problem since our target audience are the senior nursing students and some of our classmates who will not be speakers.They'll be issued CEU's and added informations from the different fields of nursing. So for those who wants to be speakers, start preparing all the necessary stuff that you need and let Larry know so he'll have an idea para mainclude nya sa program.He was also suggesting to bring supplies related to your topics even the expired ones so they can have an idea or they can play with them. Thanks a lot for all your inputs.
hmmm,what a nice suggestion by Larry, so it will be at one hand educational and on the other,fun!!! i work in ER at JNMC,MIAMI,,gee think it will be too much for my old brain to share the ER events here,we'll just see when we get there guys,rachel,kids and i will try our best to be there, kanindot anang higayona,ako na lang sud ongon ang inyong mga nawong ug lantawon ang pagsubang sa adlaw ug ginhawaon ang hoyohoy sa hangin sa atong lugar,anogon ang higayon!!GOD BLESS YOU ALL... ALBERT G.
naks naman Albert- pagka anindot sa imong mga pulong dong, magkita-kita na lang tang tanan.
do i really want to be a speaker? I'll think about it but since I don't have to put together my stuff and all I do is play the dvd- and narrate it then I might!
Asa na man ang atung mga classmates oy!Pag blog pud mo oy!
happy new year to all!
i don't think i can be a speaker too.i don't have any public speaking ability.puede mag bat in bat in lang dili gyud mag speaker.magpatubos lang ko kang lulu.educator mana namo sya katong naa pa ko sa new york.kaya kaayo na ni lulu.
i'm putting together our reunion dvd so i really need your pictures guys maski unsa.email lang sa ako.ako na bahala mag compile.my email is oababon@uci.edu or sa yeknom17@yahoo.com
do you mean recent pictures or school pics?
I think I want to be a speaker but I need Olym on my side and she can bat-in x2 when I forget what to say.LOL
Happy New Year!
hi pinky,
any pictures kamo na ang bahala.
sure,i'll be by your side,kana lang man diay.no problem:)
happy new year!and God Bless
I'll try to look for pics. Olym, we can speak together. We just need to split the subtopics. It's all ready to go... all we do is to practice to read it nicely. Thanks Olym for being on my side! Sylva and Leo, I can give you some subtopics too if you'd like to be with Olym and me. That way, it won't be too scary. And we can all act as a panel. Whadya think?
Hello everyone,
The time is getting closer and tentable speakers should be preparing for their topics to discuss. Good for you Pinky because you are already ready for it. Anyway, I think the question & answer part should be at the end of conference so that we could keep the time of speakers in order.
We should all be members of the panel. The audience should write their questions and the questions will be sorted out so that there will be no duplication of the question, and in this way we don't waste time. Then whoever has the job related to that question could answer it, so everyone will be able to participate, not just the speakers.
Olym, you could do it. You are an expert in your field or if there is anybody who is working in the same field where you are, then you could share the topic with her/him.
Walay ulaw-ulaw. We will all support each other, di ba?
Thanks for the encouragement Lulu. As long as I am not the first speaker, I'll be OK. Yes, questions should be sorted out at the end and maybe given to us during break so we can answer the ones we are able to. Everybody should at least answer one question from the pile.
Hello everybody!!! Happy New Year to all. Am enjoying reading the messages and watching the progress para sa reunion this August. Si Susan Poblete 'tawon ni and naa ko dire sa bukid sa Lake Tahoe, (California and Nevada stateline) almost 25 years na. Unsa pa man inyo topic for discussion sa reunion/conference? Good idea kaayo'ni aron naay tax break. Moadto ko sa Las Vegas this month, i- check nako kang Rica and Tessie Sacayan unsa ila plans, Olive Olson and Nora Roque too. Ako, not so sure yet for now, but if I go, I can help mo speaking ug Visayan/English, ICU topic.
Hi Susan, at last nag blog na ikaw.
Please try to be at the reunion- it will be all worth it!!! Once in a lifetime lang kini- who knows when it will happen again? another 25 years? na!!! mga wang-tigu na ta, paningkamuti intawon day!
hi guys,this is mely ruiz,nee diuyan(carmelita diuyan).i just found this link thru leo.I went thru all your blogs and i was so overwhelmed with it.I think i"m the only one who did not practice my profession coz i opted to become a medical rep for almost two decades.i retired 10 yrs ago.I've got four grown up kids but they're still in the philippines.My oldest works as graphic artist in manila and my second is still waiting for the result of the nsg exam.The first time i was here in the states was in 2000.Stayed only for a month,then went home.Came back 2001 and stayed good.It's nice to be reconnected againto all of you with whom i haven't heard and talk to in almost three decades.I was just so thankful that Leo found me at reunion.com.That's how i came to know his whereabouts...Hey sylva,i go to cook county all the time.I have an appointment this coming january 15.I will be at GMCearly in the afternoon.I f you are on duty.i'll see you there...Hey larry, igot your no.I'll talk to you sometime soon.Hey cyd,why are you wearing your daughter's sunglasses?heheh,joke only.(leo told me the reason why)It's good to know that you put up this blogs.good job...Hey larry my thumbs up for coming out with a doable recommendations,nice job too...when did u quit from san mig?...Cyd,ging2 calustre's name is consuelo not Erlinda...Just called precy awhile ago to tell her about our website i ended up listening to her answering machine...i also talked to evelyn last night,actually the second time,again,i almost freaked out coz until now she couldn't remember my faceknowing that we're just 3 or 4 seats apart from each other in the classroom,oh well,maybe she's in her senior moments...kudos to all of you who are involved in organizing the reunion.you are all great...ok guys,i'll be back again
Wow, Cameh, Donya ka na pala, how I wish I'm also retired but I'm happy for you- that is so nice and also thanks for updating all of us about yourself. Bagay ka naman as a med rep- you didn't miss anything not practicing the nursing profession but we've probably missed a lot, not being trained by Astra LOL.
I checked the yearbook about Ging's name and she has 4 names- imagine that plus a nickname!!! Erlinda Consuelo Susada Calustre.
Cameh, Ronnie cannot remember ny face either but he told leo last time that he finally did.
Cameh or Mely :-) Can you speak to us about the non-nursing aspect like "How to boost your self-confidence." That will be perfect and some of us definitely will need that so we can stand in front of the audience.
Thanks for telling us about your family...4 nice kids!!!
Hope to see you.
Welcome to the blog Mely. I'll be arriving in Texas Saturday and you will be expecting my calls.It's really good to hear from your classmates. I get so excited just by reading their comments coz I know that they are still around. I've got a text message from Edgar's wife that he was thinking of rebooking his flight from June, to attend his mother's 80th bday, to August for our CLASS '79 reunion. He told me when I talked to him on the phone that if ever he comes home on June, he'll try to come back August. I said I know it's expensive but meeting your classmates after 30 years is PRICELESS.I wish everybody should try their very best to attend the said reunion but I know we have reasons if we can't and that's understandable.I just wish to see as many as possible.
yeah leo,welcome back.excited to hear from you soon.This is my second blog today.The other one,i lost it again...Hey larry and cyd,i noticed that medical mission is not included in the line up.Just asking.But you know what,that will be our greatest contribution among the poor and the unwashed so to speak.After all,they're the ones who really needs our help in this time of hardship.i will consider that as our greatest contribution to humanity.Classmates,this is the best time to share your wealth in any form lol.Di ba this is a very noble thing to do? O sya,i welcome comments,good or bad,i'll take that....hoy cyd,di ako donya noh,i wish i am LOL.ikaw nga itong maraming items on sale sa ebay.ano ba yan,50%cheaper than when you buy that from a regular store hahaha
Hi again Mely, LOL you are so fun!!! I guess we can include the med mission. We need Lydia to coordinate, she said one day would work- for me too! You are right about the noble contribution.
I do sell a few items on ebay- but in my blogs- those items are not really mine, I just help ebay in selling them.
Leo is right, our reunion is priceless- its now or maybe never- just think what you'd miss if you don't attend but of course we have to understand. Its even fun just meeting here in the blog- can't wait to see you.
finally talked to leo this morning.He said,he had just arrived when i called.WELCOME BACK.Well,he had a mouthful of good and bad news.bad news coz some of them were a shocked to me until i realized that it's been 30yrs,and anything can happen in between...Larry,i tried calling the nos.you gave on ur blog,and wonder why a female on a voice mail.i thought it's a new york no.i didn"t realize it's a phil.cell no.oh well...
welcome back leo,unsang balita? chat ta karon gabii kay off ko.
Hi Melly, musta na? Where na my co mare Mildred Ocoma? how about Sonny Ouano and Mike Muraski? How about Myrna?

I am very excited.
Lydia replied already to my text message to her.

Thanks Larry, the program looks good. I'll go along with whatever you say.
Leo, I need to call you. Welcome back. I'm sandwiched between celebrating a friend's birthday,visiting & feeding a sick friend, and family death among friends right now that is why I'm very busy this weekend.
Happy 50th Larry!!!
later guys...
Thanks Pinky.
Hi!! This is Suzette S. Francisco. I am very excited and eager to see everyone again...It has been a long long time since we've seen each other...hope to see and meet you guys in Davao this Aug 2009 SOOOOOOONNNN!!!
Larry, I like the theme! That is a very good one. I can bring samples of our pre-op assessments for pain mgnt and surgery. I have to ask my educator how long the presentation is. Do we have a laptop there or a dvd player? Can anyone bring a laptop-with a CD player to the conference?
Hi Suzette, welcome to the blog! Hope to see you!
Hi Cyd,
Sorry I was did not know about this website not unil Leo called me tonigt. I wouldn't have been able to know what was the plan regarding the supposed reunion this coming August 2009. If you still remember our last conversation my daughter and I were scheduled to visit the Philippines in October of 2008 which materialized. I thought the reunion was supposed to be in December of last year. Anyway I am really thrilled to see everyone again if, everything goes smoothly up here. Right now I,m trying to accumulate a vacation to use since I had already singed 70 hours of my vacation time for sale which is no longer revocable. I I only learn about this change of plan I could have just left my accrued vacation banked.At any rate, for now I'm 100% interested to attend the reunion and hopefully my last kid who id still in the Philippines will be able to join with me and my three other children. I hope I could also convince my duaghter Jennifer who is working with me in the same hospital also as a medical-surgical telemetry nurse. I read Sylvia's blog regarding writing off tax to our expenses to the Philippines but how does this work is two of my children (my son and daughter ) will come with me in terms of the maximum amount we can write off. I'll talk to you soon again. Hi Larry until now you are still an active Leader in terms of organization for an important affair you're extra talented really. By the, Happy birthday for us both I forget you and me have the same date of bate but I am 5 years your senior though. God bless everyone ang take care.
Hi Pinky, thanks you liked the theme.
Yes Suzette, i remeber we have the same birthday. Remember there was one time that we have to celebrate it in your house in Bo. Obrero.
Grabe na talaga....
By the way guys, if the number of senior students by June will be too much for us to let them join, I suggest that we will only give them slots. We will coordinate with the Dean and the alumni affairs office of DDC. I am afraid that there might be hundred of them....maybe the conference will be 100 to 150 participants only including us the PEARL JUBILARIANS. OK ba ito.....
Hi Larry,
Advance happy Birthday on your Milestone.
I know you are the best person to coordinate these activities for our grand reunion. The program looks fine with me and maybe if there is any problem with the number of attendees that we could not accommodate, then we have to provide handouts to them. In this way, they would still get the ideas that each speaker has presented. This means that we have to find a place to print our handouts. Maybe we could ask Lilia G.Gallego.
Lar, I know that our country has advance technology and so they should have a laptop so Pinky and the other speakers could do their powerpoint presentation.
I also tried to do my assignment on trying to find Mrs. Cassino. I went to the law office of her son but they are presently on vacation according to the people in the building where the law office is. I will try again next week.
Hi Lulu,
Its nice to hear from you. Thanks. Please keep us posted so that we can finalize the program. Laptop and LCD projectors are not a problem. Please just come with your presentation on a USB and in CD to be sure. Or even send it via email so that we can create a folder for all the presentation and even given a copy to the college so that paperless tayo.
Good luck to all!
Hi all active participants of this blog! Suzette, I hope you can make it- the tax deductible thing is now regarding CEU's and not the med mission that Sylva is talking about. Larry is your guy about this- he will ptobably tell us how this works.
I just talked to my educator and it is 1 hour long for the DVT powerpoint presentation- my gosh that seems too much for me- can somebody pls take the next 30 mins-i'll give you my notes and everything. I also have handouts to go with this and also for all the safety pre-op things we do like reducing the MRSA potential, what medications to stop to ensure
a safe procedure. My goodness, I may just have to cut down on DVT and just give an overview so I can give time to other important aspects of safety. OK guys, your making me think. Great job Larry, happy birthday Suzette, thanks for the encouragement Lulu- you are great!
hi larry,
Happy golden birthday!!! i think most of us are celebrating 50th birthdays.mga wang-tigols na.
i like the theme and the program for our reunion at least you are so quick in putting up your ideas.you are really a good leader.Hoooray to you.anyway,
you said you are going to davao this month.would you mind checking this place Blue Jaz resort sa samal,i heard the place is pretty nice and not soo expensive.
Hi Cyd,
Looks like everyone is really burning their brows towards this once in a lifetime event which is our 30th alumni anniversary. My gosh have I known that this was postponed from last year to this year I would have scheduled my vacation instead this year. On the other hand ,I had no regrets because we really have a good time in Davao last October. As I had mention, I am 100% enthusiastic about the reunion because this might be the first and the last time that I will be able to see my former schoolmates again because in less than a decade from now I will be coming back for good in the Philippines. But nevertheless I am still scouting for a reasonable fare online as you know my budget is quite limited since most of, it went to uncle Sam Hahaha... Talk to you soon again take care
Hi Suzzette,
Yeah, everyone decided to do it this year. I haven't saved my airfare yet but I'll come up with it anyhow.
I hope to see you.
Hi Pinky,
I really admire your high spirit and determination towards this affair, wharsoever comes up I will be able to update with you most likely aroung the middle of June this year as you see all of us will be going home early part of 2011 for my daughter Jen's church wedding. her and her would be hubby will have it done in the Philippines since majority of the closest relatives are there. Take care
hi you all,
i am so glad that more people are blogging.this is really coming along good.about the agenda,it looks ok to me especially about us spending some time with patients in mental hosp.i spoke to charito bolivar ,she is evening supervisor there,she was asking if we could spare some psychotropic meds ,they are really in need of this stuff.
larry,i gave chato your # you will hear.i saw your pictures with leo,slim naman ka.you look good.
see you guys soon...
Hi all,
Zette, I accepted your friendster request and you have a beautiful house in the Phil. Maybe you can invite all of us there. LOL
Olym, I'm still trying to find time to scan my pics...I'll get them to you soon.
Hi Pinky,
No problem everyone is invited it's actually pretty ordinary but spacious as you can see. That's where I am heading when I get a chance to still be alive and strongly kicking as yet,hahaha. Yeh girl I woul love to have you guys there..

Hi Larry,

Hello all, I posted some pics here. Sorry if some of the pics looked scrunched up- if you appear thinner and fatter that's because I have to resize them. If you click on the picture it will show you the enlarge version.
When you click on the picture it will take you to photobucket. The enlarged version will show but there is a tab also that you can click "full size" and the picture will take-up your whole computer screen. If you want to email me some pictures I can post them here too.

I'll kept posted. Leo, thank you for taking time to call me on my birthday I really commend your energy to take time calling out former class and schoolmates batch of 1979....
hello everyone,
it is so nice that this blog is getting bigger and bigger.i just hope that we will be "ONE" in this coming event.i get some feedback from some people that they don't want to attend because they feel that we will still be separated by the so called old curr and new curr.can we all just be one with one thing in common which is our values and ethics as a nurse and as a person.this is a one time event basig dili na ni mausab pa .thanks to cyd beryl for initiating this reunion.mag-kahiusa tang tanan .see you all soon.
gosh, youre all energy guys iguess it won't wane till the day comes.praises to all of you. can't help much.enjoyed our picture profile.captivating and funny.love it.i want more he he
Old curr, new curr, we're all 1979 grads. There will always be differences but the year 1979 is the thing that brings us all together.
Anonymous, are you still Tessie?
I agree with Pinky and Tessie. This reunion is for the DDHSN Class '79 graduate. Nobody has mentioned that this is only for old curr or new curr. I've tried to get hold of everybody that I know of whether old or new so if you belong to this class, APIL MO and you're very much welcome.Let's just have fun and enjoy. I hope this is clear to everybody that this is OUR reunion not just one group.
Hi All,
I just posted some pics from Olym.
We need more pics especially from popular people...like you.
If some people are feeling unwelcome, we don't want you to feel that way- that does not make any sense at all. We also don't have time to deal with childish ways- as we all have a job to do and that is making this reunion happen for the 1979 grads- so don't start any negative thought, forgive us if you are feeling bummed about it.
Guys, let's get going....
Hello everyone,
thanks for all the birthday wishes. Thanks also for all the old pictures. Enjoy jud ko kaayo...wala pay digital camera....perting possing jud uy. Thanks for the DDHSN '79 Davao Group who attended the meeting on January 25.
Hoy Teresita Buanoy.....miss you please come on August..
I will be back in Davao on Feb 28 to March 6. This time I need to know the final list of those attending to the
"DDHSN CLASS 79 (OLD & NEW CURRICULUM 30TH (PEARL) GRADUATION ANNIVERSARY GRAND ALUMNI HOMECOMING"
so that I move on for the reservations and budget preparations.
Best regards to all. Nonoy...keep sending message....
love you all
Hi Larry, I heard you deleted the DDHSN tour. What??? I have never seen the school for 30 yrs. What a bummer if I go home for a reunion and never see my alma mater. Will there be a time for that? Maybe to people already in the Philippines it doesn't mean much but for some of us here it means a lot. How about dividing the group, like for those who doesn't need the tour they can proceed to the Mental Hosp but have 1 group with a tour guide go the the school first to tour then we will catch-up with you at the hosp. It will probably only be a small group but I will be sad if I don't see my school. I want to have my picture taken there to show my co-workers here and also for my album.
hey pinky,i have a suggestion,don't worry about the tour,go by yourself and have a photographer to tug along with you.ask him to take pictures on every nook and sheltered spot where you wanna be shot hikhikhik...belated happy birthday larry,you are now a certified golden boy hikhikhik.To all january celebrants[that includes me]HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!MAY WE HAVE ALL THE VERY BEST THAT THIS YEAR OF THE OX CAN BRING TO US.
Hi Pinky,
Thanks for your comments. I never included in the program tour of DDHSN now DDC. Please review the previous comments I sent. Please be advised that DDH is separate from DDC. It was the tour of DDH that was suggested to be deleted to spend more time to our community out reach program of caring for the patients at the Davao Mental Hospital. This is just about 3 to 4 hours with the patients and this would mean a lot to them. I even would want to suggest that we divide the number of patients so that each one of us can have the chance to even just talk after the whole group sessions, which is very therapeutic to them.
So if you want to have a DDC and DDH tour, lets include it but not devide the group into 2. The Mental Hospital visit is exclusively for the Class 79 alumni no other people joining us, so why have a separate group just for the tour. Please let me know when you like to have the tour so that we can arrange with the administration of both DDC and DDH
See you all soon. Ty Pinky for your comments.
Best regards.

Thanks.

hi adel,actually thanks to everybody that has something nice to say in this blog.we only have one goal in this reunion,that is to have fun and re-connect with the people that help us to be what we are now.remember the first day with mrs. diaz in the fundamentals of nursing??????each and every one of us has to say one or two words why we took nursing,i think this reunion will validate those things that we said that very first day in nursing school.so lets all come together and reminis.

Hi Adelia, I can't wait to see you!
Hi everybody,
I finally got hold of Mrs. casino through her son Andrew who is a lawyer here in New York. She is very excited and she said she would attend our reunion in August. She thought at first that it is an alumni home coming for all the DDHSN graduates.I made clear to her that it is the 1979 batch of graduates. When I told her where some of the 1979 graduates are, she was so happy.
She gave me her e-mail address and I will try it first before I give it. She said if anybody wants to communicate with her, you have to use your maiden name, not your married name so she could remember you.
Presently she is in LA with some of her kids. Olym, I told her that you are in California and she wants to talk to you so you could teach her how to get into our blog. Let me know if it is ok with you for her to contact you.
She also wants to be updated with our plans and I'm telling her that Larry is the one planning for our activities and she is in agreement with the continuing education that we will be presenting.
