ASMSI Foundation Day Activities - Games for the Children
For the past 4 years, the ASMSI Foundation Day Celebration involves facilitating games for the incumbent students in our beloved Alma Mater - Sisters of Mary Schools. And I believe that it will continue this year.
Every batch will be assigned students [on a per year level or per sister-in-charge basis] to organize games for these children. The same way when games were organized for us while we were inside SOM.
As for the prizes to be given away, all graduates are encouraged to bring packs of candies/chocolates and even school supplies. These maybe surrendered at the gate where the alumni officers will distribute it so that all batches will have prizes to give away.
In relation to having a uniform for this event, would it be more convenient if we wear sports shirts and not a polo shirt? Well, that's just me ( Rex "doms" Domino ). Hehehe! Anyway, I can bring an extra shirt naman.
There are also suggestions in our batch thread in the asmsi website, about other color than green.
Well, all I can say is relay this info (batch polo shirt) to as many batchmates as possible. Say your comments and suggestions here or in the asmsi website/batch 1995 thread or forever hold your peace!
Hehehe!!!
Lastly, let me share with you some of my thoughts after the August 2008 Foundation day here.

Batch 1995 Shirt for August - Design by Zeny Villapando
Batchmates, Ms. Zeny Villapando has started the ball rolling for our batch shirt this August with her simple design suggestion. It is actually done in MS Word. This is the best I could do to share it with you. Hehehe!!!
Batch95 Polo Shirt Design 1
It is basically a green polo shirt with the asmsi logo on the left chest area ( when you wear the shirt). At the front hem (english daw ng laylayan yan! :D), the text in yellow
At the back, in white color the asmsi website; www.asmsi.org.ph plus at the hem, also in yellow color,
ASMSI Website: Membership Activation
The Alumni of the Sisters of Mary Schools Inc. (ASMSI) have been reaching out to all alumni across the country through its own website at www.asmsi.org.ph for the past five years or so. The website has been instrumental for the organization's growth and continuous existence.
As Batch 1995 graduates, we are therefore encouraged to use the website to know more of the organization, its activities and programs and reconnect with fellow batchmates or other alumni.
To activate your membership account now, go to the website. Look for the member's area on the upper right hand corner and activate your membership.
You will then see a registration form where you would need to fill in your Last name, First name, Middle Initial, Birthday, Gender, Batch and Branch. These infos are needed to verify if the person seeking membership activation is really a graduate of the Sisters of Mary School.
If you are able to activate your account, check the website regularly for important announcements and try to interact with fellow batchmates and alumni.
Unfortunately, there are some glitches that you might encounter. If you see a NO RECORDS FOUND message, do not fret. The database of graduates has errors.

March 15, 2009 Alumni Homecoming
The Alumni Homecoming for 2009 was held on 15th of March 2009. And as always, Batch 1995 was there at the sprawling Sisters of Mary School Girlstown Complex at Bo. Biga, Silang, Cavite.
What happened in the Alumni Homecoming? May kwento si doms (Rex Domino)
Near 10 am na ko dumating. Sa registration tent, nakasabay ko sina Mina Salud, Nancy Roxas and Nelfe Villas.
Pagpasok sa loob, nakita ko agad sa likod ng gym ang Batch 1995 Gents (na di ko pa maalala kung anong mga pangalan ) na sina Ronald Allan Cucio, Jose Remoel Almario, Leonardo Verdillo, Gary Palma, Angelo Arroyo, Arieste Lunas (with GF Jennilyn).
Sa Mass naman, nakita ko sina Mario Nasol (representative natin sa mass offering), Sandy Santileces at si kuya Rey Regondola.
Right after the mass, nagkita na kami ni dormate Edwin Ballaran at Joseph Canaya ( Batch 95 - Cebu ). Nakita ko na din sina Ate Shirley Martinez ( mas mabeauty na kasi tumaba), Jenny Gesmundo at Jhoi Balmes (ata).
Nadagdagan pa kami nina Philip Jalea, Rex Medalla, Erwin Bartolome, Janke Ante, Osias Espelita (with GF Marites) at Marlon Quilit. Nagpunta din sina Joel Mendoza at Domingo Rentosa. Nakihuntahan din saglit sina Dominguito Andaya at Felipe Repalda. Paunmanhin sa mga makakaligtaan ko ha.
Nagkaroon din po ng raffle draw kung saan nanalo ng Ipod Shuffle ang ating batchmate na si Joseph Canaya (JC). Congrats sa 10th batch dahil free ang raffle na ito.
Namataan( parang typhoon lang hehehe) ko ring palakad-lakad si mareng Merly Gacute.
Isa sa mga innovations at this year's homecoming ay ang mas organized lunch wherein inassign ang batches into one room/place. Kudos kay President Al and to his batchmates. And suwerte, sa room 401 ng Sullivan Building(my first building sa SOM Silang) naassign ang ating batch. Dito na namin nakitang maglunch ang iba pa nating beloved ladies batchmates.
Ilan sa mga kilala ko na andun ay sina Irene Balmes, Tanya Salvadora with BF, Carina Acquiatan, Zeny Villapando na sobrang kupas na green ang suot na white blouse hehehe, Katherine Garin with her hubby & 2 angels and Rey Regondola's better half na si Mendy(? di me sure). Andun din si Arnold Atienza.
Unfortunately, I was only able to introduced Mines and Nancy to my fellow gents batchmates. At least guys, mga bigatin ang napakilala ko sa inyo. hehehe!!!
Rex (Medalla) lost his meal stub. Buti na lang at may dala syang CAT picture niya nung nasa som pa sya. At dahil sa convincing powers ni Jose Remoel Almario ( read: pananakot) ay nabigyan na din si Bro. Rex ng food nitong mga strict student meal servers.
Syempre, kulitan at kwentuhan to the max agad. Solb naman ang lunch na adobo + boiled egg with bottled water. Bitin lang siguro yung iba. All in all okay naman ang lunch pwera lang sa "group hug".
After nun, picture taking sa corridor with the students. Konti pa lang dito promise. Punta kami 7th floor at first time ko napuntahan ang water tanks. Then, punta kami ni Edwin to our first dormitory sa 6th floor at naalala ko pa ang pwesto ng bed ko. Kainggit nga lang mga girls ngayon kasi malambot na foam na ang bed nila.
After nun, pinagbigyan namin si chairman ( hehehe) Almario na libutin ang compound kahit mainit especially ang track and field oval. Picture taking ulet kahit di namin masyadong feel. Then sa bronze bust ni Fr. Al in between Doty and Ray Grace Building. Naalala ko tuloy ang gilid ng building ng doty na nagsilbing background sa yearbook pics ng Silang gents. hehehe!!!
Tapos diretso sa VOP, kung saan naabutan namin ang iba pang ladies batchmates natin na sina Ate Len, Ate Joy at Ate Bing sa gilid. Nagpipicturan sila sa lugar na gusto kong tawaging "the woods" or in tagalog "kakahuyan". Tingnan ang larawan sa itaas para magkaidea kung ano ang sinasabi kong the woods.
Dito nagsilabas na ang mga cameras at syempre binigyan namin ng oras ang "konting" batch picture taking. Hehehe!!! Salamat sa kasama ni Tanya na kumuha ng ibang picture.
Lakad ulet. Tapos konting meeting. Ito kasing sina chairman Almario at Leo Verdz, nainggit sa mga younger batches na may uniform shirts. So, yun may plans na magkaron ng tshirt para sa August 16, 2009 Foundation day Celebration. Watch out for further announcements.
Sa VOP grounds, natiyempuhan na naman namin sina Nelfe, Len at Joy na nagpipicturetaking. "Nahiya" naman kaming di makijoin at baka magtampo pa sila.
Nadagdagan na naman ang gents dito dahil andun din sina Ricky Recto, Anthony Dublin at isa pa nating kabatchmate na di ko naitanong ang name.
Sa VOP grounds din nagkasundo ang karamihan na magproceed to Leo Misa's bar in Mandaluyong. Leo (pronounced as lee-yow) is a Batch 95 - Cebu branch graduate and co-owns "El Manda" along Boni Avenue in Mandaluyong City.
But before that, we all decided to go to Adlas dahil ulet sa di-matanggihang request ni chairman Almario. hahaha!!!
Thanks to Ronald Allan Cucio at pinahitch nya kami papuntang Boystown Adlas sa van nya na muntik ko ng masira ang pintuan. Maigi, naibalik ni Angelo Arroyo sa ayos. Parang 3 group convoy kami paputang Adlas. Dumagdag pa sina Greg Hagos at Max Gacelis.
Unfortunately, wala na pala dun si Sr. Nory na naging sister in charge ng halos lahat ng Batch 1995 gents. Naassign na kasi sya ulet sa Cebu.
For some influential reasons, Nancy and Mines were able to get bread from the Bakery. Kaya ang panghihinayang nami nang di makita si Sr. Nory ay naconsole ng kaunti ng paghati-hatian namin ang cinnamon bread fresh from the boystown bakery.
After that medyo naiinip na sina Leo Verdz and chairman almario dahil alak singko pasado na.Off we go to the Manila via SLEX.
12 kaming batch 1995 gents inside Ronald's van: Ronald Cucio, Arieste with GF, chairman Remoel, Greg Hagos, Rex Medalla, Gary Palma, Leo Verdz, Osias with GF, Angelo Arroyo, Max Gacelis, Rex Domino at Edwin Ballaran.
Tuloy pa rin ang kwentuhan, kulitan at laglagan portion. Eto kasing si Osias, ambilis makakita ng chicks na nakasakay sa taxi, samantalang si Arieste madaming alam na lugar sa Manila dahil sa mga motel landmarks na di naman daw nya pinapasok. Binuild up lang namin sila sa mga kasama nilang gfs. Sana lang nakatulong.
Mines, Nancy and Zeny were waiting for us at Leo's bar together with Sage(7th batch) and Sam (12th batch).
After a short introduction, Angelo Arroyo started the mic rolling with Hard to Believe. Well, its really not that hard to believe that our batchmates know how to sing.
From Angelo to Leo Verdz rockin the house, to Gary Palma, Rex Medalla's ballads, Even Ronald, Arieste, Osias, Doms(that's me!) and chairman Remoel can carry a tune. Arguably, the best performance of the night was chairman Remoel's "Humanap ka ng Panget". Hindi din naman papahuli sina Mines at Nancy who brought feminine flavor with their songs. Even Zeny sang.
Then the dance songs triggered the dance moves. Hope Leo Verdz and Gary Palma could teach us some steps or two. O kailangan ba namin uminom ng Tongkat Ali ( tama ba spelling?) Up, up, up... down, down down!!!

When the one-for-the-road bucket of beer came, Zigfrey Camua, joined us. He is the batch representative of the gents and lives some five minutes away from the bar.
After the chip-in for the bill, we came out with 450 pesos in excess. The money were added to our batch fund.
Soon, and sadly at that, it was parting time once more for each one of us. If we could just be this enjoyable for one fun homecoming night, then the alumni homecoming is more worth going to each year.

Unang dagdag, ( courtesy of Gilbert "sage" Evangelista, 7th batch):
Astig daw ang batch natin kasi after mag-inum, may ending prayer pa daw. Galing din ng impromptu closing prayer ni Bro. Rex.
