But to us na still alive (and kicking), tuloy an buhay....I can see through the eyes of our Klasmeyt (that day) an kaogmahan na dili kaya tumbasan nin maski nano na kayamanan didi sa ibabaw san mundo. It's only now...na na-realized ko an importance of having a reunion of classmates....niyan na 25 years na an Batch naton..kay sa ayaw natin at sa hindi, na sa mid-life na kita mga klasmates...lain amo. Kwarentahon na kita, although may kasabihan na Life begans at 40...and that,s true...dahil niyan en e-enjoy ta na an mga irog sadi na Reunion, dati dili man kita sadi nag e-enjoy, but now look at that..we are beginning to enjoy and treasure it.

So, now that the fire of SCAT Batch 1980 has bee rikindled, let no one put it off. An gusto ko sabihon, na dili magtapos didto sa turupar ta san Marso 26 an pagkaburogkos san Batch naton, but let it be the beginning of the more closeness of all the members of SCAT Batch 1980. So by next year, turupar guihapon kita.

25 years, after we graduated from our Alma Matter, parang kailan lang ano? but look at that....it happens. Again, to all the members of SCAT Batch 1980...mabuhay kita intiro.

PAGTURUPAR 2005

The most awaited event at SSC (Sorsogon State College) finally happened. It was a gloomy Saturday morning of March 26, 2005, the day set for the SSC Pagturupar 2005 General Alumni Homecoming. Around 9:00 o'clock in the morning when the registration begin. Participants for the said event started to arrived and have their Batches registered, SCAT Batch 1980 is the one in-charge of the registration.

Retro music from the 50's,60's,70's and 80's are being played (by yours truly) on the sound system, to create a reminiscing ambience through out the SSC Caumpus. 1 o'clock in the afternoon when almost everybody arrived to join the Parade. It was already 2 o'clock when the Parade started. The Parade was escorted by a Motorcycle Club named RABASS (Riders and Bikers Association of Sorsogon) followed by the very colorful SSC Marching Band. Next to SSC Marching Band are the Golden Jubilarian (SSAT Batch 1955), they looked so georgous by their Golden Filipiniana Dress (for the ladies) and a yellow T-shirt for the Gentlemen. After them are the Batches from the 60's and the 70's. After the last Batch from the 70's (which is the Batch 1979) the SSC Drum and Lyre Corps grace the Parade witht their beutiful majorette and maniorettes, then the Float of the Silver Jubilarian (Batch 1980) followed, with our former teachers as the muses over the float, they are Mrs. Lydia Aninipot,Mrs.Teresita Aninipot,Mrs.Fuentes (formerly Ms.Jamora), Mrs. Ladisla and many more.
