Friday Activities; Batch '74 Video

Yesterday, two batchmates hosted separate family affairs and invited batchmates as guests. Ted Santy treated us to lunch and early afternoon drinks in their family compound in front of Villa Caceres. Early evening, we moved over to Dante Indaya's residence in Peñafrancia Ave. to celebrate his birthday. Thank you, Ted! Happy birthday, Dante!

Attendance aside from yours truly and the celebrants: Igme Blacer, Edgar Dy, Benjie Cariño, Binong Martires, Tony Añonuevo, Andrew Morano.

During the day, we previewed in Ted's laptop computer a 30-minute video presentation of batch activities. We also played a separate version of the same video in CD-DVD player and it worked just as fine.

The said video cd will soon be distributed to batchmates here and overseas. Ted Santy voluntered to CD-burn the video and Tony Añonuevo will provide the blank cd's out of batch fund and take care of distribution. Binong Martires offered to talk to Nimrod Licup to put the .wmv video file, 143 MB in size, in the web server of the alumni web site and made available for download through the Web.

The said video presentation is still evolving and open to comments and suggestions, deletions, additions and includes highlights from the alumni mass, Joel Cadiz's birthday, and post-Yami funeral gathering at Moraville. Unfortunately, footages taken during Jesse Robredo's birthday got accidentally overwritten in the camera before I could transfer them to hard disk. I am sorry for that; we can only wait for the next opportunity to include Mayor Jesse in our video presentation. Take hold of your copy now and post what you think in our group site or this blog. You are most welcome to contribute materials, video clips or still photographs, with accompanying write up.
