LEO AND GIGIE'S REUNION WITH MSC

Finally, a night with MSC with Leo and Gigie! On August 10, MSC had a simple yet funfilled mini-reunion at Bernard's Place in honor of Balikbayans, Mr. and Mrs. Leo Ibayan. Two fruitful years in London after their previous vacay in their homeland, The couple is back with their family to reunite with friends and relatives including MSC.   

Traditional "Pinoy" foods were prepared by Gigie! These were the things we used to eat every Sunday after our service. Our "Beinte-beinte" tradition was always a hit with MSC. And it's nice that many of our members of our generation remember it till now.

Most of the attendees of this event were batchmates of the couple from London.

The requisite Videoke Machine during a gathering like this.

A party not to be missed!

Thank you Leo, Gigie and family for your generosity and willingness to share your blessings to your beloved MSC!

LEO AND GIGIE'S RETURN

The fun couple of Leo and Gigie Ibayan, together with their kids are here now in the Philippines to get some much deserved R&R!

These are some of the photos of our recent get together... Taken at Hilario's Sizzlers Restaurant.

FUEL UP!!!

Fuel up! A phrase used to power up automobiles. But how about fueling up long lost friendships??

A few days after our infamous Coral View, Bataan adventure, we headed to the city for a night to unwind with another group of MSC alumni. Lynet Danao (ALTO, Alum) and Len de Leon (SOPRANO, Alum) joined in this time. Very good friends of Gigie (Serzo-Ibayan, ALTO) whom she hasn't seen for ages! We headed to a bar located in Don Antonio, Commonwealth, QC called "Fuel Up!", owned by famous filipina celebrity actress, Angel Locsin. But she was not there that night. Too bad... 

The place was dark but cozy, filled with familiar beats and jives of the 80's new wave music. Both the crew and the guests were friendly and game! The girls from the other table even invited us to dance with them when dance music started to be played by in-house band, "ARKO" at the latter part of their set.      

Another unforgettable experience I had was when my table requested the band to have me on stage to sing with them. I had no choice but to do what they wanted for I won't hear the end of it for sure! Not because I was a show-off but I was simply ever so ready to please my friends especially Gigie and Leo whom I haven't seen for almost three years!

 

The suave, warm night got even warmer by the love and happiness we felt amongst each other. All in all, it was a perfect night.

CORAL VIEW

On a hot summer day of April 9, 2010, a bunch of old choirmates and good friends decided on an impromptu summer getaway to Morong, Bataan. The chosen venue was Coral View. A prestine beach resort with fine grayish-white sands and a spectacular view of the sunset. 

   

  

Best buds Leo (Ibayan, BASS) and Larry (de Guzman, BASS) together with their families along with (hrrrm!)... me went on an overnight adventure up north! It was such a perfect scenario for all of us! I was glad that Gigie (ALTO), the wife of Leo was pleased and very satisfied as well as the kids! Friends catching up, drinking a couple of beer while enjoying the briny aroma of the sea breeze while watching over the kids frolicking in the water having the time of their young lives. A lot of laughing and reminiscing. What more can a man want? 

Once again, I have proven that no matter how long friends go apart, as long as they still choose to be friends, the bonds would surely be in-tact forever!  

LEO AND GIGIE'S SUMMER HOMECOMING

Lookie here!

Leo and Gigie (Ibayan), the ever loved BASS-ALTO loving tandem of MSC is here in the Philippines after a long time of working their a** off in the United Kingdom!
