So vat ees der Gang?
Long before Bloods and
Crips(?) spilled blood on American shores, a few miles away in the quaint, tropical
insular region of The Philippines, the Gang, a more peaceful (if less organized... crime
IS organized... I'm going to be murdered by gang members now, aren't I?) organization
forged with the purpose of having FUN!
What kind of fun? Just
the type you usually get with a bunch of friends (no, menfolk, I don't mean "World
Peace."): going out to dinner, or to a friend's house and just talk the night away;
or maybe even the private exercises, like calling one up on the phone in subtle (but
sometimes deadly! Especially to a third party...) conference. The Gang was a bunch of
friends who had no idea where to go or how to get there, but had fun when they'd arrived
nonetheless.
More importantly, though,
are the people who make up The Gang. Individuals of different walks of life, individuals
who by chance or by fate found themselves entwined in a diverse and colorful pattern, and
add to it as well. There may sometimes be some discord, a clashing of design, yet somehow
the pattern stays firm. The very vibrant nature of The Gang rests solely on the bonds
formed with these people, without whom it would never have existed.
There's a lot more that
has to be said, but simply writing them down would be silly. Within this Web Page, you
will be able to experience The Gang more than just hear of them, a far more
appealing notion, believe you me. Just don't get too close, for your sake...
Welcome to
The Gang! We hope you enjoy the show... You'll probably never want to leave...
'sif we'd let you, tho...
HISTORY
It all
started in a school named Brent. What's Brent? Well, that's another story. A story of
mystery and gallant missionaries and short dark people with curly hair, but still another
story. Brent School Manila had become the very spot where all these friendships were made,
and where they continued to linger until most of us had to leave for the usual reasons...
But I digress... Shall
we reminisce, let's?
