IN FOCUS

Rheyen Aguirre, The Man of the Hour

He who is an exceptional, desirable & promising young man, He’s extremely prompt & organized which have brought him a long way. He conveys a feeling of warmth, respectful of others and he really listen to what people have to say. It is just his nature to make people comfortable when they are around him…

He who enjoys a good story over a friend. A casual conversation can transform into a possible idea & then into a full-blown strategic plan of action that can’t wait until the next day. Taps you on the shoulder or gives you a comforting hug, & words of praise. With his intelligence, patience & kindness, he’s on his way to soar to the top…

He who has a great sense of humor causes anyone to perk up. He delivers the substance quite so well. He can really entertain. Oh, I can say that, coz I'd always end up being tickled with his freaky punch lines haha...huo Ann! The thing is, there’s always laughter between us…

He who has the ability to grasp the details of any situation, yet fit it into the broader picture. His most important trait is his sensuality to make people feel at ease with him. I see this almost as an essential trait. Maybe because of a down to earth & humble nature, he has the ability to be very approachable…

He who hasn’t been the one to speak about his accomplishments; it’s always about what his family, career, experiences, friends & the people have done for him. It’s always about him giving back to people he owe a lot...

He is simply Rheyen, Batch ’02 will take to that!

BIG TIME STORY

GETTIN’ HI!

Yhen & d' supah Hot Fish Ann & Jess

R-emembering moments with you,
H-old a special place in my heart.
E-very time we are together,
Y-ou never failed to amaze me…
E-verything will never be forgotten,
N-ot now, not ever!

“I am simply ME with YOU. I am happy the way you want me to be.”

DUBAI BOY

He’d love to impress me with his lengthy stories as a room service hotel attendant of the grandeur iconic, Jumeirah Hotel to the fascinating Burj Al Arab, luxury structure right in the Middle Eastern part of this globe, uh, uhh, sa may siin dun, hihi? In full glamorous details, all bright & brilliant, the splendid places he been through, that is so impossible for me to imagine (di ko ta matungkad) & the gorgeous people he’s with, (d’ Gods & Goddess, your highness!) his fun-filled experiences (d’ hahaha’s) & even his sobbing moments (d’ huhuhu’s)…more! more!

SEAMAN LUXURY

Whataman! Shifting my imagination as he's on his way to enter a luxury Cruise Ship conquering the world! Oh, c’mon, he’d take me in his stories on tour Europe, South Africa, Malaysia, Morocco…dollars…dollars…!! hahaha...Terrific!

SUPERWOMAN

And behind those greatest & grandest dreams is the modest realization that behind a successful man is a great woman, the superwoman of his life, his loving Mother (si Nanay na), the most mentioned & well commended in his every story who inspires him more than ever and whom he owe a lot…. (applause!!)

SUPERMAN

Rheyen Gonzales Aguirre I used to know, our High School Valedictorian, Class President, Math Wiz, an achiever, a leader, youth role model, well–rounded, tall dark & looking...Ooohh! He is very passionate to his family & friends, generous & giving, career wise, great talker, sweet lover…uhuh? Loves to joke & fool around, extremely fun, understanding & sweet. He’s cool & nice to be with, bright & smart. Nax! (talent fee q’ Yhen hah) this are not sugar-coated words to be honest from a former classmate & close friend because anyone who got to know Yhen better (like me) could swear how ‘superb’ he is as a person.

STAY FOOT

Few years from now, he could be great in whatever he made of himself someday. I can see a future portrait of a career man having his lifetime lady, blessed with adorable kids, competitively bright like him, staying in a lovingly invested home, celebrating family life happy & fulfilled yet keeping his simple & humble self. I believe he would remain as Rheyen Aguirre I’ve known & I will stay with him to constantly remind him of the things he will miss whoever he is, whatever he does, & wherever he goes…

IRONIC GIRL

Being with this man, feels so sweet, spicy, comforting, yummy…ooh yummy?! He is warm & hearty. He allowed me to step into his life, and he keeps me ‘in’. That for me is something beautiful that I’ll be forever grateful. Wow Ann! With his kind of friendship to me, every minute should be enjoyed and savored. I don’t have to be very comprehensive (parehas kara) in explaining how Yhen means to me & what’s with the two of us because he knows I am & will always be a hundred percent behind him.

LOVIN’ FEELING

As far as the world is concerned, like all others, I’m also mystified with his charm. (ah galeh!) My attachment with Yhen is something very sacred to be shared. Simple, I’m allowing myself to enjoy his sweetness & everything, because I want to. It makes me feel happy!

missin' you...

Reminiscing the time when we first met, giving unsure smiles not knowing that it’s gonna be the start of a beautiful story of great friendship…

As I ponder about the things we have done, precious moments seemed only yesterday. I can’t imagine the impact it brought, the fondness felt, the cherished memories, the connection that stays with a promise & clear chances of happiness…

Through the years, there’s only you & me having inseparable hearts that really cares. There’s this piece on us which have been & will always be a piece for each other. And that piece is called, “everything”…

JOURNEY OF LOVE*

Jhono & Lilia Love Story

Chosen by God in His perfect time, completing each other,

fulfilling His plan…

* The thought of this love story was lovingly confided to me by Ma’am Lilia Torres-Sumanga with consent to post in the blog as they celebrate their wedding anniversary, December 16, 2010. This is one best love story to tell & I feel proud to share. (Ann Navarra)

BE INSPIRED!

HE…is a story of a MAN with unwavering faith & extra ordinary determination in pursuing the woman of his dreams. She, who proved to him that there is indeed such thing as “magic in love at first sight”…

SHE…is a story of a WOMAN seeing clearly through the years of searching for the right time and the right man. He who assured to her, that there’s no such perfect when the real one can make her feel complete!

Finding MR. RIGHT in God’s perfect time seems to be ideal. Love comes in most unexpected packages & indeed, God works in mysterious ways!

The love story started way back year 2004 when Mr. Jhono Sumanga, a bachelor seaman from Nabas, Aklan visited Mrs. Fanny Timbas’ place in Albasan, Numancia. Mrs. Timbas is Jhono’s Aunt who happens to be an employee of the secondary school, Numancia National School of Fisheries where Ms. Lilia Torres is a teacher.

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

It was quite a very monumental moment for Jhono seeing Lilia from a far. While Lilia on the other hand, living her life happy & free (and who would ever know that there’s something missing?) had no idea that someone recognized her vibrancy…

From a glance to an instant crush! You know how it is, when you really like someone at first sight that your world seemed to stop revolving as if that certain person remains only one visible behind the thick crowd leaving you speechless? Whew! Jhono can’t deny that he has these special feelings for Lilia, something strike him that he would even wonder at the force behind such an emotion the first time he saw her. Quite simple, yet too powerful to ignore!!

MYSTERIOUS TXT MATE

Without a second thought, Jhono asked Lilia’s name and cellphone number to Emil Timbas, his cousin. And they became txtmates. Several phone calls lead to courting. Unfortunately, Jhono didn’t get to see Lilia as often as he could because of the demands & priorities of their respective worlds. For Lilia, Jhono remained to be her mysterious txt mate. Until their communication just suddenly stopped when unintentionally Jhono lost his sim card…

POWER MOVES

A year later, Jhono & Lilia ran into each other again by chance. They met personally on August 28, 2005 when Jhono courageously head on to NNSF, went to Lilia’s classroom & formally introduced himself. By then, Jhono renewed his courtship and by that time, the ice had been frozen & Lilia began to see Jhono in a different light. Brilliantly romantic at that! They got along so well, developed special friendship & eventually blossomed into love!

THE PROPOSAL

Lilia got the feeling of accepting Jhono’s proposal the cutest way she knows how. She playfully thought of having this kind of thrill to make the day memorable, meaningful & fun-filled! (kun maka strategy si Ma’am oh!)

On a date, Lilia asked Jhono to look for a Mister Doughnut outlet in Kalibo. She really needed munchkins (small round doughnut as props). Wow, come to think of it! Jhono was clueless of the idea of expressing Lilia’s precious “OO” through two round munchkins. (weeeeh, para-paraan lang yan! hahaha…)

Nowhere to find a Mister Doughnut outlet (hay uwa pata kato, may sa Gaisano eon makaron), they ended up inside Chowking Restaurant in Kalibo. (di halipatan eon do round munchkins ngato, never mind! hehehehe). Lilia ordered Chowking Lauriat & glad to know there’s a presence of two round something on it similar to munchkins. Well, Lilia let Jhono ate it (si Jhono eata nagkaon it daywang ka bilog ngato) Jhono surprisingly picked up what Lilia means. He smiled & asked to confirm, “Does it mean YES?”, “ay tao lang, kahina ta kimo”, Lilia confidently answered. (wow! huo eon!) so that’s it!!

FIRST EVERYTHING

Jhono by the way, is Lilia’s first ever boyfriend!!! Oh so sweet! That is something very sacred to be shared. What made Jhono fall in love with Lilia is her simplicity, effortless beauty & cheerful personality. She’s a woman of substance, kind, naturally sweet & has a zest for life. Behind that reserved being is a real humor. One of the great things that made Lilia admire Jhono is his constant effort of making her feel special & loved all the time, proving the world he’s worth a perfect partner for life.

THE WEDDING

In a relationship, they both enjoyed each others company, sharing the same thought, having a good laugh & planned the future together. Apart from being a testament to how great Jhono’s love is for Lilia, the couple’s ultimate altar date was set, DECEMBER 16, 2006.

I can’t express my happiness as I can see they’re both in love! I believe its God’s will for them to be one. In the presence of God, witnessed by their families & friends, Lilia submitted herself to Jhono in a great “I DO”, more than a two round munchkins could do. She vowed to stand by you Jhono at all times through all the uncertainties & challenges of life. Lilia promised to create a peaceful, restful, happy & safe place for you & your children to come home to. To Jhono, it’s his great honor to say the sweetest name he will ever hear: MRS. LILIA TORRES–SUMANGA!!! He can stood tall & claim his love, his life……and his wife!

He commits himself to be stronger in times of doubt, to lift you up & make you smile. And most of all, to be your MAN for the rest of your life!

BEST WISHES

As Jhono & Lilia tied the knot to be one with God, their love story will grow & live forever, because the future just starts towards Jhono & Lilia’s JOURNEY OF LOVE!

“Batch ’02 going beyond because we must! Whenever were into something we really love, we passionately put ourselves into it and we enjoy it all! We rock…we rule…no matter what happens, no matter what it takes! Our thoughts may break any bonds, our minds transcend limitations, our consciousness expands in every direction and we find ourselves new & exciting world. Dormant forces, expertise elicited, become alive and we discover ourselves more than we ever imagined ourselves to be…”

Make The Most of 8!
Batch ’02 celebrating eight (8) years of friendship to the fullest…

“for all life’s changes & happiness comin’ our ways,
wishin’ you guys, good luck & God speed! – Ann & Japh

“Comin’ up with our 8th year’s theme: Make The Most of 8! Oh, look at us, were moving in different worlds; heading our different directions en route to our respective path of destinations. Though were trying to embrace each differences, the clash arises when of course there are priorities in these worlds and were not always compatible. But then again, friendship isn’t just about compatibility, sharing similarities or having the same thing. The most important part of it is how we adopt to differences. Good things just rub off on each other. It’s about a simple smile whenever we remember the memories that made our life simply but completely happy. Cheers batch ’02!

Ma'am Lilia & Myla

"Thank you for being with me when I have no one." - ann & japh

This is to thank you for being by my side,

You mean so much to me,

You're the best friend that I found...

In a major, major way!!

Take One, Action! (gay mode)

Weeeehh! Mga chizmax lang yan ng mga chuvanez na wiz magawa sa mga chenelin nila…kalurky ever! Is dat akitz? Halleeeer!!!!

Take Two, action! (serious neng!)

We personally believe that our personality does not define who we are as a person. Yet, we don’t deny its significance. To show to the world who we really are is not for everybody to accept us, but we choose to express a certain feeling of freedom and excitement for our life’s fullness.

This personality is something worth celebrating. This means, freeing ourselves from things that were really into. We just get closer to the truth. This is it! What will you think, say or look at us, it doesn’t matter. Were very happy & we spell ‘HAPPINESS’ like an intense feeling towards inner peace, contentment, and major, major transformation & evolution.

Were proud & blessed to be who we really are & for those who acknowledge us without if’s & but’s we’ll be forever grateful!
