I have known Patti all my life. We were classmates from Day Care Nursery and then we went to the then DWCT now HNU where we were classmates from Grade 1 all the way to 4th Year High School! After high school, we went our separate ways and its a joy to know that the friendship and the bond is still there after all these years!

Happy happy birthday Patti!

 OF MUSIC. MAGIC. MEMORIES.

Live musical entertainment from the very talented JAM 403 alternated with the 80’s playlist from DJ Roger Rodge Gatal which heightened the nostalgic air as the incessant cacophony of laughter, clinking of glasses and endless chatter reverberated the whole evening. 

THREE’S A CROWD. Patpat Espiritu , DJ Jacky G & Marie Anne Diores 

With JV, Krizia & Aldos of  the talented JAM 403

As the party drew to a close and remnants of the fun evening was slowly swept away, many of the guests still tarried a bit. Some were in a huddle and the perky ones couldn’t resist singing along to the strains of the 80’s music that was still playing albeit at a lowered volume.
