And speaking of the Raider's Club, I remember the time when we'd find ourselves meeting past midnight at the kitchen of the main RSD--Kong as Chairman, and with Mikaela, Erica, Annella & myself as members. That was time when the refrigerator would have to work overtime, as we would relentessly open and close the fragile Frigidaire door (replaced by Hitachi in 1979), searching for available re-heats and other midnight snacks to munch on. I recall that this went on for several years, from the late seventies and well into the late eighties. Kitchen time would be pow-wow time, when we would discuss about all things under the sun, and we would philosophize on the important aspects of our lives. I guess in the Raider's Club we found the power of the great pow-wow, and in the great pow-wow, we found strength in ourselves, further developing both our individuality and our one-ness. And our children? I think they will carry on the spirit of the Raider's Club well into their old age. It's simply something that is passed on and carried for generations. Touche!

Midnight snacking... a full cup of ice cream, cookies and chocolates, potato chips and other chicheria, peanuts or pakwan seeds, and in recent years... vodka-7 :)
Oy, wait - not all at the same time naman. Unless it was a sleepover somewhere with all of you!
