thy Kingdom come
Renato San Andres @ King Abdul Aziz Port, Dammam, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Did you know that back in the 80's, Valentino Esguerra & myself also worked in the kingdom, in the capital city Riyadh?That was my very first real job right after college, as a structural draftsman; and first trip out of the country, from 1985-88.
You could imagine how young we both were to be working & living in a place like that. Brutal folks...brutal!
But there were also some interesting & exciting "stuff" I don't think you'll ever imagine in a desert place as such!
That's where I grew up and experienced everything...and I mean EVERYTHING!
You can ask Valentino E what I meant (wink wink)...or maybe Rene S have some ideas (another wink) .....;-)

it looks like nag-enjoy kayo sa KSA. It's really an eye opener when you travel (much more to work!) to a foreign land.
btw, nasaan na c tino esguerra? i remember going to his place during Holy Week to watch 'penitencia'.
rene, you look like you're in-charge (good for you). what are you doing there, btw? brgds to your family.
it's really a surprise when i see our former classmates. what a difference!
rene, u said u thought i'm gonna be a frozen delight. i thought so, too. lol! sometimes, what we plan for ourselves doesn't happen because of SOMEONE up there. that's my explanation. see u at the reunion!
rene, nice seeing you again kahit sa picture lang after more than 25 years.
kailangang magkita-kita talaga tayo sa reunion w/ our family, siguro ang saya nating lahat.
Woowoowoow!
Ok k talaga ediboy. really, you're one of a kind, to d max..sana nakapagdala pa ako ng mga pictures ko from my previous assignments..anyway, this one is great for me and i'm fully satisfied.. thanx
it's not just an eye-opener, it's a self-discovery, a growing pain, an experience of a life time!
i think we all had that in our life...and aren't we glad? ;-)

its summer time and the humidity in my location was pegged at 91% this morning. u just imagine how it is here now..di ka pa nagtatrabaho, just sitting in one corner and you'll feel the sweat drifting on your back..sad to say, the sweat sometimes makes its way to the crack..ano, ii-magine mo sadik..
Naks naman si Rene sa picture ha, parang artista ang dating, hehehe. Sino yung mga the Great Six, parang kasali yata ako dun ha. Pero ang natatandaan ko hindi mga midgets un kundi mga Unano , hahaha. Mga KSP ng SDA, waaaahhh!
Anyways, at least hindi na unano tayo ngayon, mga mukhang goons na nga lang, hehehe.
So ladies and gentlemen klasmeyts na nasa malayo ipagpatuloy ang pag iipon ng pasahe sa eroplano ha. Ako nga kahit sumabit lang sa plane gagawin ko makarating lang sa reunion na to.
Sabi nga kahit harangan daw ng sibat, di pa rin ako paaawat makita lang ang nililiyag. Teka mali yata itong naisulat ko na to, hehehe. Konti na lang bibigay na ko, bwahaha.
Abangan ang susunod na kabanata....
Yung d great to refresh my memory yung mga totoy non, innocent kuno, harmless ?, totoo kaya yon? It's nice to hear from you Rene.
