ANTICIPATING RUBY

We, High School Batch 1970 of St. Scholastica's College Manila, are thinking of publishing a Coffee Table Book in time for our Ruby Jubillee Reunion in the Year 2010. This blog is intended to be a depository of all the things we could possibly publish in the CTB. Enjoy this blog with us.

Three Poems Plus One

When Des waxes poetic:

DADA....
diva, delightful, dazzling,
MARYLOU....
thanks to you
you are so true
as friend and fun-girl
Mrs. TAN...
you are a grand madam
socially outstanding
a cut above the rest.
With flaming hair
A gem so rare
What would we be without you
A beauty pill for Beautyphil
A crown woul so become you.
The song for you that we must cue is,
"You're just too good to be trueCan't take my eyes off of you."
Eye catcher
Trend setter
Your dharma is surely
To scatter Rainbows.
And to Jauw and your brood
You are the pot of Gold.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>Dess (the other goddess...LOL)


Temi's EMI
Pert, Petite, Pixie-sweet
That's our precocious President.
Precious, too as Temi attests
And priceless to
Dea, Sam-boy and Joshua.
This is the Prexy
That can sure shake her booty
And never lapses in judgment
When picking the right pals.
Ain't she lucky?!
She is funny and sunny
And in neatness she is O.C.
She's a soul guide for deaf mutes.
How amazing that
This "pilya" can also be pious.
God had a Good-Hair-Day
That fine day He made Emi.
Look how well-combed
She always seems to be.
Not to discount
Her Mom's wise advice
That to keep youthful looking
Keep the bob and the style
From Grade 5 to 50-something.
So, a Pearl of great price
The Almighty has put
On our scallop.
Now we know
That it's true
It's the small packages
That make you
Smile!!!!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>DESS


Vinchu,

Making a difference is your forte
Whether Politics or "Prettyfying"---
You're Incandescent.

When you smile
You beam like
A beacon blinding

Fair -- you are!
In your outlook
and decisions.

Battle weary we are
In the pavement of protest
Disillusioned by those who betray us.

Yet, Hope springs and gushes
For the faithful few
Who stay true

To the values
We were weaned to
By our parents and mentors too.

I salute you
I pray for you
I'm proud of you.

--------Classmate in Blue

And here's one from Loily. About me. Thank you.

Mahirap tanggalin sa isipan
Ang paghihinagpis ng sariling bayan

Ngunit ako'y nawalan ng tiwala
Sa mga naghaharing walang kaluluwa

Bawat araw ay nagdarasal ako
Magkaroon ng bayani na tulad mo

Darating ang panahon may hirap at lungkot
Gabay mo ang Diyos, huwag kang matakot

Mabuhay ka at maraming salamat!

loily
