Reminiscing High School Days
I just attended (for the first time) Roosevelt College Marikina’s Alumni Homecoming. I went with my former classmate Met Met who became a dear friend. We paid the ticket worth Php 250.00 each which includes the raffle and meal stubs. Funny that I didn’t noticed that while walking on a red carpet, I waved to my former classmates like a celeb in an Oscar’s and even posed for a pic in their big tarpo Hahaha… We started the night with a cocktail. I had 2 glasses of
Margarita then afterwards had Barako coffee (the main sponsor of the event). Went inside the gymnasium, looked for the tables reserved for our batch (87), chatted a little and munched our dinner. The program started at around 9 pm so I expected that it will end late. No worries about our security ‘coz I know there are hidden security cameras all over the campus.Alumni were presented by batch and proud to say that batch ’87 has numerous attendees, I think second to the host batch.
There were 2 bands who performed that night, the first one is Candazo Band (lead by an aspiring Congressman of Marikina City, District 2) and Serenity band (managed by Randy Santiago). They filled the night with the 80′s music which made a huddled dance floor. The prizes for the raffle are also remarkable and batch ’85 and ’86 graced the night with their production numbers. Too bad that I had to leave the place at 2 am for an emergency reason. But I really had a great night! And to you Batch ’86…. CONGRATULATIONS!!! for a job well done. Next year’s homecoming is out batch turn to host the event. Hope we could make it like what they did or even more. Mabuhay ka Roosevelt College Marikina!
