A letter from Libayon Print E-mail
Posted by Frances Therese Javier Alorro   

Today is July 25, 2007. August, September. 1, 2 as I count my fingers. “Calendar, where are you?!” I shouted. Forty one days to go. I’m making my own countdown. Wweeee ma one year na ang kinaray-a. I smiled as I hear the song “Daw sa kanami lang”' playing on my mind.


TRIO’S PLAN A
“I-launch natun ang website.” Fridy.“When? Where? What are the activities?" Anne.“Sa plaza ka SJ para makita ka tanan?” ,Psyche.“Pwede man kaso hindi safe ces, sa SAC gym nalang siguro.” Fridy said in his chat.“How about the program?” Anne asked.“Nami dad may mga pictures na ipagwa bala ra haw, daw slideshow?” I replied.“AVP ces. Ano pa?” Anne asked again.“hmm testimonials?” I said.“Anne, ikaw ubra ka script.” Fridy told her.

CHILD’S REPORT
“Ces, kamusta ang kitaay nio na tatlo? Sadya man kamo?” nanay nenen asked.“wwaaaa nanay, si nong fridy macho papa!!!!!” I told nanay honestly. "Wow! Tuod? Kagwapo gale ka bata ko. Ano pa guid bay?” nanay nenen asked me again.“sa pizza hut kami nagkaun na tatlo. Then guin tugru ni anne kay manong ang script for the launching.” I said.

KAPE
I stopped and bit my pen as I rested my back on my chair. I sip my coffee and stare at it. “Ano ang pagtingin mo sa kape?” manong Manie asked in his thread. I breathed deeper to let go of all the emotions stirring inside me, just like the aroma of the coffee. (huhuhu I missed you starbucks!)

JESTER AND DRAMA QUEEN
Ang gown ni Artebadong. He was asking me about it until he teased me (mayad wara na ako gnpamangkot ka t-back kag bloomers na fenk nanda ni tatay). I was furious. Nagwala si Psyche sa site. Nagkarambola ang tanan. Manang Jean and Nong Fritz were trying to calm me down, ang heart ko daw! Sorry hindi guid ako magpasupil….ma drama guid ako… ma emote bah!! Now badong was out of my sight. Got a message from anne. “Ces, may nag inaway daw sa site? Sin-o? paadtu palang ako sa office”.“Anne, wara ah. Ako man lang nag soap opera.” I texted back.

GUARDIA SIBIL
“Cge ces, ikaw nalang bahala, maturug na guid ako, may office pa ako bukas. God bless Antiquenos!” Fridy said and logged out.Hours later nagputi akon screen. “What happened?!” I told myself. Refresh ko nga refresh amu man japon. Then I asked my officemates what bandwidth means. “Wwaaaa manong fridy!! Bugtaw ikaw!” as I grabbed my cellphone. I have to wake him up dis-oras sa kasanagun. “Manong Fridy!!! Bandwidth exceeded limit ang ggwa sa site!” message sent. I miscalled him to make sure he will be awake. Bingo! Alert si bossing.“Ok na ces, ikaw nalang bahala.”

BDAY NI ADMIN
“Ces, what’s our plan sa birthday ni nong fridy?” “gani…ano bay?’“surprise ta? Kaso pagbalik nalang from bora. Didto pa sila ni nong manie eh.”“ok. Surprise! Surprise!” I said. “Sa diin bay?”“sa office na ces? Ano food ta? Pot lock kita?” anne said.“Foods? Cake anne! Kag butangan ta kandila!”“Ces gusto ko may ice cream 2 guid ka gallon! Then meet ta anday daddy and others”.“okey, the more the merrier.”

DADDY MEETS HER SENSITIVE DAUGHTER
“Psyche, where are you?” he asked as I answered his call.“dad, ja pa ako sa national bakal balloons.”“san ba yan? Bldg. A or B? mag ppark na ako.”“daddy wara ako kamaan pa kun diin kaja ang A or ang B, basta kun magtubang sa edsa gani ja ako rapit sa lrt…hehehe lets meet somewhere nalang. Basta may bitbit ako nga balloons and naka pink! Ako guid ra.”  Daddy Rogerm, nang rezielle, errol and I are on our way to Radio Veritas for Fridy’s birthday bash. Daddy’s been talking wbout his opinion. His pride to be a part of Antique’s legacy.“Itatanong ko kay Fridy, ano mga plano nia. Sino magfifinance?”

YM EXTENSION AND FAMILY
Our members are growing up rapidly everyday. Chat messages are running so fast and many are online. Ym confe ang tagpuan.“Hello po, im late.”“Jean,subra pa sa imported ra bah.” Mommy Beth.“Ginpagisipan ko gd ra mommy.” Nang jean answers. “Ces, ikaw amun libayun sa Mc Eslica family.”“Haha!! Sin-o bay magurang?”“si Nong Manie guid!” said Jean.“Ay yamat! Dugang mal-am ta ka ra!” nong manie said.“na dc ang sara. Kina pa tu gawangal. Invite anay si ces.” Nong Fritz told them.

TATAY, DADDY, KIDS
“Dali lang, manamog ko anay baboy” are his words when he came to town. Tumandok finally arrived. Ang pinalangga ko nga tatay. Gerry’s Grill at MOA and Music 21 sa Pasay. Who can ever forget the Footloose ni Nong Manie and kiay-kiay ni Nong Fridy ala Tom Jones?

EYE BALL SA ANTIQUE
After the pamulaway nights just to finish the AVP, our friendship with our two manongs was tested. My relationship with my best friend, Anne even grow deeper. The website was successfully launched and gathered a good number of members. “Bukingay, Ikaw gale si ______.” International members were not left behind through webcams. We are very grateful for the moral and support of others.

2007 – NOW WHAT?!
Laguna happenings, Baguio vacation, Pizza Hut, Yellow Cab, Starbucks, Pancake House, Seafood Festival, my surprise birthday at Fridy's apartment… Those were the days and now this is our website. As we changed the lay-out, many things also changed. What’s behind the façade? What’s going on? Anne and I smiled, laughed and cried for this many times. This website molded us, became a part of us, our lifeline. We may rest a little but we will always be around. Just like Nong fridy’s big confidence in us.“nadura si anne haw? Dyan lang ra…si anne pa…”

CRY BABY
I am Psyche, the girl with a sweet smile but I will always be the Belle in Distress of this website… excited as everybody for the coming anniversary… and I terribly missed Anne, the other half of me in this website… tatay dok, daddy roger, nanay nenen, mommy beth, nong fridy, nong manie, nong fritz, badong, nang leah, nang jean, tita jigsz, tita marilou, tita nimfa, tito rommel, tito berg, nang rezielle, nang bjoy, nang lou, brient, namja, nong donz, nong ian, nong natz, nong dv, nang mango, nang dulce, nang butter, jomz, ed, ving, chippy, rebel, bags and etc. etc. etc. Wherever you are guys my prayers are with you all. God bless us! God bless kinaray-a.com!!!

Lots of love,

your libayon
