This was the part of my speech in my Closing Remarks during our
40th High School Class Reunion which was held last April 24-25,2010,
Philippines.
I also dedicated this to all friends and in this PH website.

I consider myself lucky
Being with such friends like you
Perhaps exuberant to numbers flow
With material things could be
But I don't count the numbers
I don't count the material things
For what I count is the well being
of someone like you, forever
And what I count is
- your company
- your camarederie
Your diamond heart, the kindness
You, as if my family
Being my friends dearly
You will be part in my book of life
And count you in the pages of my life
