A Whole New Lloyd

Lloyd M. Duque is one of the pioneering MSS students. Who could forget Lloyd! He was one of Sister Ardeen's favorite students despite his childish behavior then. I recalled Sister Ardeen's remark that whatever you say or do to Lloyd, he would simply not say anything but just smile. But he was and is a good friend to his batch. He would be present whenever there were reunions or gatherings among his classmates. I would be with them in many hangouts.

When I took my master’s degree in Zamboanga, I met Lloyd and I learned he was taking up Criminology. He was still the Lloyd I knew. He found a GF there and one time, we were having a day at Palid beach here in Ipil.

When he finally finished his course, he endeavored for an Air Force job. He got his luck and now he works in investigation section at the Air Force in Cebu City.

Yesterday, April 5, 2008, I was at his home and there I found him with his father. Of course I greeted his father a happy birthday and he did the same to me (we have the same birth date). Lloyd's mother shook hands with me when she saw me. She said she still remembered me. She invited me for a thanksgiving party on the 6th. Later on, I sent Lloyd some pictures via Bluetooth. Those were pictures with him present. As the night progressed, our conversation was focused on his job. He was talking about managing his earnings and how he is with his present work. But we (his batch and I) had to leave because it was already past 2 am.

It was truly a whole new Lloyd that I met. I am so grateful he is doing well now. Congrats igit!
