Vallejo Flashback: June 16, 1985 Baccalaureate Mass at St. Basil the Great As Tony Palisoc recently put it, we were just "hooligans in blue" back then. This was a few days before our graduation at Corbus Field. L to R: Nathaniel Marucut (face covered), J.F. Perseveranda, Marcelino Lim, Rudy Jandoc and Tony Palisoc. The Funny Thing: Rudy and I would eventually become roommates in January 1992, sharing a one-bedroom at South Beach Marina Apartments in SOMA, SF. It was $860 a month back then (it's nearly $3,000 now!). Fast forward to today: Tony P organizes a meetup, creates an SMS group, and every time I reply, I get this: Free Msg: Recipient [1808nnnnnnn] unable to receive message - Message Blocking is active My old roommate had me blocked! 🤣 The "Block na Block" Chat Log Dondi: I keep getting an undeliverable text for an 808 number 🤔 Me: I think we're blocked, Mik...

A great night at Lucca Beer Garden as Hogan Spartans from the Class of '84 gather in Benicia — and Jean Jandoc makes it one to remember. Lucca Beer Garden: JF, Ariel, Belinda, Jean & Ike. Some friendships are forged in hallways, on courts, and in classrooms — and four decades later, they still hold. On July 20, 2024 , a handful of Hogan High School Class of 1984 alumni gathered at Lucca Beer Garden in Benicia, CA for one of those rare, unhurried evenings where time seems to collapse. No agenda. Just Spartans. The night featured a warm send-off snapshot: JF Perseveranda, Ariel Eugenio, Belinda Be...
