GLA Celebrates Valentine On A Cruise
The sea breeze, the harbor lights, the sunset and the yacht were so inviting one could fall in love again ...and again! But this happened only once and that was last Feb. 14, when APOGLA had its Ladies’ Night Valentine’s Party. A parade of ladies in red filled the Long Beach scenery . Those were our sisters of course, escorted by their handsome partners (ahem!). The brothers were there too, to dance with sisters who didn’t have partners. What gallantry! They were all so willing and able. Dancing was none stop and everybody had the time of their lives. The games prepared added to the thrill of the evening and the prizes were overflowing. Almost everyone received a beaded hat courtesy of Sis. Irma Almazan. You know for a fact, that Sis. Irma is a champion when it comes to soliciting
prizes. The food too, was gastronomically satisfying. The coup de grace was the “puto cuchinta” brought by the First Lady, Myrna. Bro. Bodjie Gapido was a revelation. His skill in being a good DJ has been discovered and is no longer a secret. He contributed much to the gaiety of the party. There is no need to describe what a happy group of people were on board that yacht that evening. You only have to look at the photos! To the ladies who have the Midas touch - Sisters Ophel Amon, Hazel Hermoso (your persistence paid off gal!), Irma Almazan, Betta David - thank you and congratulations for a very successful affair. You have turned everything into gold! We shall never forget that golden affair!
Sis. Fely Montecillo seemed amused with the dancing prowess of Bro. Bobet Peneza while Bro. Mandy Javierto aims his camera.
Your DJ Bro. Bodjie Gapido with his fellow Etans Bro’s Melvin Villaver and Mel Gonzales sing the night away.
