Early morning of December 23, 2006 my family and I headed north to San Francisco California to attend the Christmas party and at the same time our annual family get together. The bisperas ng pasko ng Disyembre 24 party was a lot of fun. We started the party with kainan, napakaraming handa. May nilasing ng pato, litsong baboy na duling, adobong kinaldereta, etc... JOKE!

Fourth Reunion:

It was another successful get together party. Ang reunion ay sinimulan ng pagsisisdatingan ng mga Noriesta-Camara clan coming as far as California, USA. Mommy arrived as early as March 2007 para mag asikaso ng mga kakailanganin sa reunion. Ulysis and family, Jimboy, Joey, Jessie also came as early as mid-June, while Jesusa, ate Alice, Leo and Gigi, Harry, at Ogie ay sunod-sunod na nagsidatingan ng May 2,3 and 4 from California, at Rex on May 7 from Hawaii. This time we added the clan of lola Maura Noriesta Fornasidoro, sister of lolo Pedro Noriesta to the the reunion. To the clan of lola Maura, welcome po at sana sa mga susunod pang reunion ay kayo ay makadalong muli. Sa side ng lolo Ireneo ay marami din ang nakarating this time, mga anak ng Junior at Rosa Camara. Kitang-kita ang kagalakan ng mga nagsidalo. Sa mga MATATANDA (hehehehehe) ipag paumanhin po ninyo at kulang ang isang araw para ganapin ng lubus-lubusan ang reunion. Sa mga BATA natuon ang mga games at mga papremyo, tutal sa mga nakaraang reunion naman ay karamihan ay sa mga :Young at Hearts".

Ang ating 4th reunion ay sinmulan ng isang Thanks Giving Mass sa Barangay Catholic Chapel ng 10:30 AM. After the mass we headed back to the reunion venue at sinimulan sa pananghalian. Sinundan ng pagpapakilala, games at kuwentuhan, kumustahang walang humpay. In behalf of the host family gusto naming pasalamatan ang mga tumulong sa amin sa pag pe-prepare ng lugar at pagtulong sa mga pagpapalaganap at imbita ng mga kamag anak na sila Jaime, CarlitoSr., CarlitoJr sa pag gapas ng damo, Enan X2, Liberty, Fe, Delia, Sheyn, Clarinda, Marion, Medit, Odong, Liezel, at Iton. MARAMING SALAMAT PO.

I also would like to thank those contributed cash and in-kind for the event.

They are:

Mommy

Ulyssis and Azon

Jesusa

Harry and Alma

Ate Alice

Rex and Agnes

Shirley and Steve

Leo and Gigi

Maraming salamat din po sa mga nagsidalo na nanggaling pa sa Manila, Taguig at mga ibang lalawigan. Kahit na bisperas ng Local Election ang ating reunion at karamihan ay may civil obligations pa sa kani-kanilang pook bilang election watchers, etc ay nagawa pa rin nilang tayo ay samahan sa kasiyahan.
