Cerritos, California;  July 16, 2005

Daisy Dominguez-Pakingan hosted a well-attended get-together at their house with several new attendees.  Belet Samala is visiting
her brother in Panorama City, CA and delayed her departure for the Philippines to be with her former classmates.  Irene de la Cruz
flew all the way from Jacksonville, Florida.  Elvira Gatuz drove more than 4 hours from her home in Las Vegas, Nevada, and drove
back the same day!  Alex Ablaza also drove from his home in Stockton, in northern California, an almost6-hour drive, and also drove
back after the party.  Lilibeth Paredes, from Bayan Luma, expressed her desire to attend an alumni party after learning about
this get-together from Rody Paredes.  Ray Lara, originally from Anabu, also attended for the first time.  Although he did not graduate from
 our high school, he stayed there until his third year.  Christian Saulog, from Malagasang, showed up, went to work for a few hours, 
and came back later in the afternoon.  Mrs. Elenita Monzon, who taught Pilipino and GMRC, was also a first time attendee, and was very
delighted to see her former students.  Beth, Ray, Christian and Mrs. Monzon all live in the Los Angeles area, within 15-minutes from 
Daisy's house.
