It’s really nice to hear some good news from your batchmates around the world although we can’t avoid sometimes that bad news can come along likewise. Recently, I have just reunited with my friend Arvin who’s currently on his flight back to Sacramento, California and with his news from a meeting also with our friends from Sultan’s in Negros Matt, Tata, Joemarie and Francis who currently had an emergency vacation from United Kingdom due to the unexpected loss of his father. They formulate plan and date when to have our reunion if not possibly done with the batch but with Sultans in 2010.
We in the Sultan’s are almost like brothers so we share emotions be it bad or good to our fellow Sultan’s. To our friend Francis, our deepest sympathy
The year 1990’s were the era of alternative bands in the Philippines. They were the one who captured the top hits during this time, from FM to Music Records together with rock music of foreign group and artist. I remember this was around the time every afternoon after our class that we were preparing our food for dinner together with Arvin, Arnel, Misael and me and later with Joseph too. Members of Sultans are living in one boarding house. While waiting for our rice to cook, we were sitting waiting in a long wooden chair listening to one FM station playing from slow rock to heavy metal music while we were banging our heads together.
It’s our routine every afternoon after class. Sometime it is our music while others were playing chess game with Arnel and sometimes while playing pusoy or poker game.
On my next post I will write about those Filipino bands who were popular during the 90s and their music that still captures our heart.
This is a circle of friends. It consists of twelve gentlemen who have meet in different situations and different time, place and moments. They were joined together as one bond. In many trials we always lend a helping hand. When someone would fall down, every one of us can change the frown into fun. We always share our dreams because everyone of us care for each other. Our friendship is gold and we give all the love that our hearts can hold.
