Saying Goodbye

The following pictures were taken at the Cubi Pt. MAC Terminal. This was the first wave of people leaving Subic Bay...if you don't count a year before with the Mt. Pinatubo evacuation. I forgot who was leaving that one day these pictures were taken, but there were a lot.

Unforgettable - Prom '92

Unforgettable, that's what you are
Unforgettable though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more

Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too

......Instrumental.......

No never before has someone been more ooh

Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too

A Beautiful Picture From Ole' Subic Bay

I've been digging around for pictures to share. So far I've come up with a picture of the bay that I took the last time I visited Subic Bay, which was a few years ago. The old base still looks more or less the same.

I was very sad to see the high school. It just looked abandoned and deserted. I peeked into one of the old classrooms and there were boxes and papers thrown around everywhere. I'm not quite sure what they are doing with the school nowadays. All I know is that the gym is now a convention center and the cafeteria is now a restaurant. When I find more pixes, I'll post them... For now, enjoy this view :)

Time to Reconnect

Time flies, eh? After fourteen years I'm finally reconnecting with my long last pals from George Dewey High. When Virgilio asked if anybody was interested in contributing to this blog, I jumped at the chance. Why not share stories about the good ole days back in Subic Bay?

(long pause....I'm reminiscing....)

It's my hope to bring together anybody who every attended GDHS, especially the class of '92. Would love to hear what everybody's up to!
