Flip's trips continues... "going
around to see our batchmates...just for fun"
February 2,
2008 - Ferdi Laco in Glendale Arizona visiting Flip Ylagan
Ferdi was in town for the SuperBowl XLII and he gave a surprise visit to
Flip Ylagan. Nag kwentuhan, nag kape, and of course fish ball Bently's
style sauce. Pictures below. "It was really nice seeing Flip again
after a year. The 5 1/2 hour drive from San Diego to Phoenix, Arizona was
quite an experience, though this was my 2nd time already. Kung hindi lang
busy schedule ko, I would have stayed longer, or we could have had dinner
somewhere near your place. Thanks to Joanne? (your wife) for being such a
gracious host." - Ferdi

"Flip in Washington, D.C." (East meets West)
Let the good times roll!!! Glad we met once again. Thanks to Bob
Chiu's family, Ronald Pavia and welcome to Flip Ylagan who flew all the
way from Arizona to see the boys in D.C. - and again, three's a company,
bro! Surely, we had a great time touring around the D.C. area, museums,
and of course the White House with a plaque of "Peace". We had a good meal
afterwards in the "Five Guys" where they serve the best, greasiest,
burgers in Town.... And then we continued on the next day, more fellowship
and food before Flip heads back to Arizona... see photos...
---- And Flips pilgrimage continues.... "Feb. 29 I will be visiting Bobby
Chui - Washington DC and Ronald Pavia, Virginia then Dr. Rico Mendoza on
April 4 sa South Carolina. Maybe after the 4th pwede na akong pumunta
diyan sa California before the April 26. Just let me know. Also Gus,I will
be visiting you as well in Australia. Ang plano ko this year is to visit
all our batchmates all over, umpisa ako dito sa States then outside and my
last stop will be Pinas. So I will see you all, hintay lang kayo at
darating ako diyan kung asaan man kayo." --- Flip.

- "Flip's trip continues... off to South Carolina"
"I went to Spartanburg, South Carolina to visit Dr. Rico Mendoza last
April 4-7, 2008. Mahirap kumuha ng pictures, dalawa lang kami and it was
raining the whole Saturday. That is Rico's house, yung Hotel ay sa
Ashville, NC historic place, nakalimutan ko yung pangalan, BMW Plant at
Museum pero sarado kaya sa labas lang kami. Of course yung bagong BMW X6
sa Airport duon gawa sa Spartanburg, SC. Malapit ang bahay ni Rico sa BMW
Plant. That's Dr. Rico at Speedway race track merong Car show that time.
Spartanburg is a small city in SC and its really a nice place, tahimik,
lots of green and no traffic compare to CA. I had a wonderfull time there,
wala kaming ginawa kung hindi kumain ng kumain, hehehe... sarap! Salamat
Rico. - Christian "flip" Ylagan

"Flip's trip continues... Houston, we have a mission..."
"Here is a few pictures from my visit with Rico Mercader. He toured
me around. We went to a few places, went to Sugarland and watched an HPCC
MINI-TOURNAMENT. Rico is still very much active in Chess. We had a good
time and boys night out. Hindi pwedeng kumuha ng pictures sayang but again
it was all very good. Meron siyang 3 anak and he's been there for 20
years. Gus, paki post na lang sa website natin at maraming salamat. Marami
pang darating na mga pictures next week from Seattle..." - Flip

This
site is only as good as the info we have. We need updates of
our former classmates DEAD or ALIVE. This site will probably
expire by the year 2050. The last surviving person on this
list (shall we say the winner) should maintain this site at
all cost.
