ATENEO-PILAR BATCH 88 UPDATE

Hi there! How's everyone doing? Hope the week treated you all well.
Before anything else, with much pleasure, I would like to roll the welcome carpet to Mr. Alfred Franje who gladly accepted the challenge of joining and helping the committee to bring our reunion to unforeseen heights of success. We are delighted to have you, my friend.

Well everyone, once again, I am here earnestly requesting for your photos to be sent ASAP to Ms. Agnes I. Valdellon. When you do, if possible, attach and NOT insert them to your emails. High resolution photos are most preferred. Sorry if I sound like a broken record about this.
We are still laying things in order for now and so as not to pre-empt any expectations, I hope you understand that we have to put you through the dark room. When things get developed, we hope to revel you with the final finish.

WHY MASQUERADE?

Since we are in THE PARTY CAPITAL OF THE WORLD...wearing colorful beads, masks etc..blend well with our theme. Wearing those elegant masks are reserved for the grand night affair...as what they said..."The masks were just one element of a society that valued appearances above all else. From the riches of the costumes, to the stunning architecture and art, the ages image is always one of glamour. "
Whatever mask you are going to wear for the big night...keep it as a secret...who knows? you might be acknowledge by the awards committee. Spouses and friends are not excluded in wearing the mask.
