The face and arms of Prof Nong Umali were suntanned. He spent several days with wife Lina frolicking under the sun on the pristine beaches of Bali, Indonesia. Though tight his schedule was, he managed to set a date for his old classmates Capt. Ronnie C, Francis P, Ted G and Prof Greg C. The date kept on changing until it was finally fixed on March 9, Sunday. Venue was Mann Yann in Makati.

| You will surely enjoy dining at Mann Yann. |
Yes, it is Mann Yann. You got it right. Mann Yann is different from Mann Hann. And different from Mannang. But all three restaurants have the same owners. At Mann Yann, they serve delicious Chinese dishes such as Fish Fillet, Misua, Salt and Pepper Spare Ribs, Beef with Broccoli, Lechon Kawali and many, many more. Prices at Mann Yann are low without compromising quality and quantity.

Mann Yann is located at the ground floor of Anson Building which is near Landmark and Shangrila Hotel. There are ample parking slots at Anson Building. And if you intend to dine at Mann Yann with your friends, try to be there early. The place is almost always filled to the brim. Proof that food at Mann Yann is really good.

Friends since 1957. They are like vintage cars but still in mint condition. All four spent their childhood and teenage days at Santa Mesa Heights in Quezon City. At Mann Yann, they talked about the good old days, when "life was slow and oh, so mellow". |
 |
| Prof Greg Calixto (DLSU-Eng 71) dropped by Mann Yann to greet Prof Nong. He stayed briefly. |
Prof Nong is an actuary. His wife Lina is an actuary, too. An actuary, as explained by my good professor, is a person who gathers and analyzes statistics and then calculates insurance risks and premiums. Husband and wife, working in tandem, are doing well in Houston, Texas. And they have a happy family. Both must have done a lot of analysis and calculation before tying the knot many years ago. It turned out to be a good investment.
