I was rummaging through my boxes of files ( and anik-anik na kalat) this morning when I chanced upon my old pictures and found one which brought a smile to my face: it’s JOROFRAME’S a-year-after-highschool-pix... come to think of it...today is exactly 1 month before our 21st anniversary as a group!
JOROFRAME STUFF stands for:
JOcelyn Joy G. Lacap ( Joy ,now, Mrs. Carmelo Valenzuela)...one of the two beauty queens in the group. Laging pinipilahan ng mga manliligaw since we were in our freshmen years. The FACE of joroframe.
ROFil Mae E. Moscoso (Chiclet, now, Mrs. Jose Nelson Rillo)...yours truly, ang exotic beauty ng grupo! Hehehe,na-frontliner tuwing may umaapi sa aming lima ( war freak buh?!)The BODY of Joroframe. (well, that’s before having 3 kids!)
FRAnces Marie C. Sales (Che-Che, now, Mrs. Don Garcia)...ang kukompleto sa dalawang beauty queen namin. Always a head turner in the crowd. Kambal ni Hahnee san man magpunta. The CHARM of Joroframe
RAzzia Hahn Olermo. (Hahnee, now, Ms. Olermo PA RIN!) The Chinese-looking na hindi naman Chinese sa aming lima. Ang joker ever na breakdancer-turned-model... sumakay ka pah! The HUMOR of Joroframe. And last but not the least,
MEriam T. Bandolon.(Em-em,now , Mrs. Joel Chua) Ang aming valedictorian na laging late san man kami magpunta! The BRAIN of joroframe.
The group was officially formed last March 16, 1990, sealed with a HORSESHOE Ring each of us bought at Gaisano Mall. Nah, di pa naman uso si Vice Ganda ng mga panahong yun....yun lang talaga ang nakayanan naming bilhin sa kakarampot na allowance na meron kami!
We were just like any typical high school ghurl group. Imagine the five of us wearing the same style of Hair Clips ( Color coded nga lang), sporting the same brand and cut of shorts ( courtesy of Mommy Nancy: pasalubong from her Hong Kong trip),using that famous Black Joroframe Bag with the bleeding rose patch ( donated by Zondrex and designed by dagis!)....nyahahhaha....at complete attendance sa pag-o-over- the- bakod either to watch a new concert of our then fave band: NKOTB, or to play BOWLINGand BILLIARDS at Dover Lanes wearing our favorite GRAY SKIRT that we call uniform in MSU!
The five of us used to dream of having our own business together which we will name : MERAZ CHELACHIC NUTS AND ICE CREAMS. Why that name? Wala lang. adik lang kami sa names namin: MEriamRAZziaCHELAcapCHIclet, at matakaw kaming pareho sa Ice Cream at Mani! And oh, may libreng Mangga ang parokyano namin sa aming bisnis. Peborit ni che-che yan e!Kesihodang pumunta kami ng palengke para bumili ng manggang hilaw! ( asim!)
Before I knew it, I was happily reminiscing na pala the happy times of my high school days. The pajama party right after the prom, those times when Popsy, Tito boy & Daddy Rolly would take turns in driving us home after a birthday party ( ke birthday ng nanay, tatay, tito, tita,o kapatid ng isa sa amin!) Remember MINGGAY AWOK, gurlz? And the “sampalan sa may sagingan” story which was soooo blown out of proportion?! Nyahahahahaha....
Has it really been TWENTY-ONE LONG YEARS? Grabe! Don’t you just feel blessed to have friends whom you know you can always count on despite the distance? Yun bang alam mo na nanjan lang sila, kahit di kayo gaanong nag-t-txt o nagtatawagan? Yung alam mong in spirit they are just there ( parang MULTO, katakot!)
Hayz....saya. Kakatuwang gunitain muli ang masasayang araw. Thanks for the gift of friendship girls. Cheers to us for sharing 21 wonderful years of true friendship!!! Iloveyou! Mwaaah!Mwaaah!
