Class Prophecy

While I was having my dinner at Café Cinco in Paris during my medical conference there, someone caught my attention when reading Elle magazine. What a surprise! It was Julius Enriquez who is now the editor of world’s largest fashion magazine ELLE. He really transformed.Good memories flashed back when he used to make fun in class that makes us alive. As I turned to the next page , it was the astonishing, glamour pose of Teodoro Cuevas with a caption “The new associate producer of America’s Next Top Model”. I am so proud and at the same time happy that he achieved hid dreams that used to pose at any angle every time a camera flashes.

As I enter the conference hall, someone is staring at me. She approached me and it was Dr. Kimberly Lariba. She is now a neurologist at St. Jude Research hospital which is based in Canada. We had a short conversation because the convention is about to start. Dr. Farah Lagudas is also present in the event. She is a leading now a dermatologist with her own clinic.

When the event was ended, I headed straight to the airport to catch my flight to the Philippines. I received a call from Mariah Nicole Getes who is very excited for my arrival. She told me that she will be having her grand openingof her much owned restaurant. I am so proud of my cousin who graduated as a pastry chef with a bachelor dagree n culinary arts in the USA.

For some reasons, my flight was very delayed. While waiting at the lounge in the airport, I saw group of outrageous fans wanting autographs. I wonder who are the stars they are following. There were posters and placards and it was the group DVJD Generation. They were Dinessa Embate, Via Sarvida, Judy Ann Masicampo, and Dannica Capua. Their friendship really lasted. But I was not able to get close to them because there were paparazzis everywhere.

Finally our plane is now ready to take off. I was about to close my eyes to take a sleep the flight attendant recognized me at her very first glance, and it was Lilian Mae Ramos. She told me that she is planning to have a vacation in our hometown Cabalian. I was so happy that we got to see each other after so many years. We also talked about the newly established airport in Cabalian which   we are going to land for the next few hours. I could not hide my excitement anymore. But before that, we stopped over in Hong Kong. I ate my food in a fine dining restaurant actually owned by Clydel Evaldez which caters Asian cuisine. I approached Irine Mae Malubay who happens to be the branch manager. I just left my best regards to her because Clydel is not around.

After few more hours, I got to reach my destination. I arrived early and jetlag hit me. Nicole picked me at the airport who got loads of news to tell of what I missed when Im not around.

On the way, I can say that the simple cabalian before has changed a lot. It is now progressing thrugh the leadership of mayor Diana Mae Mendoza. It is now a busy city yet maintained the cleanliness and green environment. New tall rising buildings, establishments. Enrika France is the Departemnt of Tourism Ambassadress encouraging to visit the wonderful, historic place of San Juan. I just read that on a tall billboard.

On the other way around, a colorful billboard attracted me. It was Rowelalyn Calilap endorsing a classic perfume. She looks as beautiful fifteen years ago. She was very bold resembling her own real character.
Nicole and I stucked in traffic for almost an hour. She told me that Jociebby Medilo has had her classic restaurant which serves authentic cabalianon food. We couldn’t be much happier for our dear classmates and cannot wait to see some of them tomorrow at the opening of Nicole’s café Bistro. And at last! After a long travel I got to enter thevillage. It is good to be home!

The family had a very warm welcomed for me. I have to rest for the big day tomorrow.
Before I sleep, I turned on the TV and there she was Aiza rabi, a successful showbiz reporter. She interviewed Princess Jean Janog who is an actress in her upcoming flick. And another news to be proud of Marialin Alveniz is the newly crowned MJs. Universw 2022. She is very stunning with her long gown designed by our very own Rose Ann Embodo

On the following day, we wander around the city. So may new places in the town that turn the old town into a city. We went to the mall and we just found out that it was the collaborative effort of architect Cieny Buctot and Engr. Bohner Gorme. The owner is also one of our classmates John Lloyd Pascual.

Suddenly, Reilren mae Cinco bumped into our way. At first, we hardly recognized  each other but as we go along we decided to have a coffee and she invited us to her La Carmela de San Juan Resort. We had chitchat fun memories during our high school days.

Late at that day, the ribbon cutting was held. The whole family attended the said event and it is more fun when Mary Grace Nuñez arrived at the event. She is the well-known owner of Nuñez Imports which make delectable wines. John Lawrence made it also to the event despite of her hectic schedule. He has just promoted as CEO in Paco company. He came with him a very delightful, beautiful Erica Medilo who is very glad to see all of us. She really made a time to attend even if she came from a fashion show. She is now a ramp model with her own clothingline. She informs us that Kathryne ville Monghit will be having her painting exhibit.

Before the night ends, Carlito Quigao along with his closest pals Kevin Marquezo and Louie Nuez. He told us that he is no the MVP player in NBA of their basketball team. He even made it to the top ten richest athletes in Forbes Magazine. Louie also now has a few dance studios in the country. Kevin also has always on thecover of magazine as a model. What a star studded event it was! We had just a mini-reunion there for only one night but we for a grand reunion to be organized by Shaira Edilo. Shaira volounteered to hold the upcoming event to her La Vista Hotel owned by Edilo Group of Companies. We could not for that day to come.

But then all of a sudden, an alarm clock alarmed. I realized it was only just a dream. I hurriedly get up on my bed and ready for school.
