Happy Birthday To You... Happy Birthday To You... Happy Birthday!

Well, Happy birthday to all November celebrants!

Special mention goes to Past President Manny Placido, who feted us with a dinner at the Castle Hill RSL last Monday, 5th November. That day was his actual birthday and fortunately for him (and us!) he was working from home. But instead of cooking something for those who greeted him, he and Sis Dodo decided to take us out.

Actually, they did not willingly took us out, I am embellishing a bit. We had to "pressure" them into treating us out via numerous "suggestive" emails. The day started with the usual birthday greetings and asking for ice cream treat, from "you know who".

I think it got out of hand when Bro Manny did not responded with the ice cream request. That was his biggest mistake (his excuse: he was busy with something else, aside from work.) I won't mentioned it just in case someone from work reads this :) . If he did responded with a passable reply and did not just ignored the request, he might have gotten off scott free.

But the impromptu night-out ended with great food (the Aussie chef at the RSL even cooked his version of Kaldereta that night), drinks and great company. Happy birthday again Bro Manny and thanks again for the treat!

November celebrants: Bro Manny Placido (Nov 5), Sis Connie Angeles (Nov 8), Sis Marilyn Reyes (Nov 14), WBro Hermie Mateo (Nov 18), Bro Manny Santos (Nov 20), Bro Dan Elizes (Nov 21, same birthday as my dad), Sis Vivian Reyes (Nov 28) and WBro Zaldy Angeles and Sis Cora Armonio (Nov 29).

Happy birthday too to Rea, my daughter (Nov 13) and her hubby, Charles (Nov 22).

Also, Bro Louie and Sis Marilyn's son, Mark's birthday is Nov 5 same as Bro Manny P. Very small world indeed. But what is weird is Sis Odeng/Bro Manny S's son, also named Mark is Bro Manny P's lookalike!!!! But that is another story...

Again my apologies to "new" members who I don't know your birthdays. Again please let know.
