A Whole Lot of Things

It's been a while since we posted here, and a lot of things have happened! I arranged our activities from the most recent to the most ancient so it will still seem to be a continuous thread.

Here are some pics from the Thanksgiving Party last year. We first went to Tita Lee/Tito Joel's house and Joan A. was able to take a lot of pics there. We then went to Tito Archie/Tita Remy's house, but I was clumsy enough to delete most of the pics from my camera so there were only a few left! Sowee..:(

The most exciting thing that we did is when we took pictures in Squires wearing national costumes. All of the new FSA members definitely have their own confidence and national pride! Here is just a hint of our craziness:
Thanks to Joan A. for her excellent picture-taking skills and fantastic camera! You can view the rest of the pictures here.

Last Fall the FSA had Pinoy visitors from the Philippines. One is Dr. Ramon Razal, Dean of the College of Forestry at the University of the Philippines Los Banos. He is an alumnus of VT and went to Blacksburg to give a seminar at The Inn at Virginia Tech. Before he left we had dinner at Charlie's Chinese Restaurant in Christiansburg (coincidental with my birthday, hence the cake with lusis). More pics here.

Our other visitor was Dr. Jon Fernandez, a visiting scholar from Ateneo de Manila University. He did part of his PhD dissertation at Virginia Tech under the guidance of his advisor at Ateneo, Prof. John Paul Vergara, who is also an alumnus of VT. Jon's stay was only 3 months, and we were sad to see him go. Click here to see pics from his farewell party.
