By\u00a0OJ Lopez (APO Pi ’05) – Director for Fraternity ’07-’09<\/em><\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

When I got my US visa last November, it was just suppose to be me and my family spending the holiday season in the land of the free, away from any involvement in the APO world back in the Philippines or so I thought.<\/p>\n

h5. December 25, 2008<br>
\n8PM CST \/ Bedford, TX<\/p>\n

Finally my parents agreed that I could spend time with APO members in the area. Being the only APO member in the family sometimes its hard to convince them that what I’m doing is something productive. Anyway, in the Reyes’ residence was a gathering of the APO Dallas – Fort Worth AA wherein Pi Brod Bems Domingcil is its president. When we arrived my parents were impressed of the hospitality of the APO members. After dinner they left me there because they know I wouldn’t be able to take off that easily. We had great food, drinks, and a lot of fun! After a few hours of food and drinks consumption…<\/p>\n

A brod from Pi (my chaptermate) inquired…<\/em>
\nJun Tapay: Punta ka ba Boston Convention?<\/em>
\n OJ: Hindi eh<\/em>
\n JT: Pupunta ako, sama ka sa akin<\/em><\/p>\n

Several hours later we were on our way! And I thought I was hallucinating!<\/p>\n

APO USA Convention
\nDecember 27-30, 2008 \/ Boston, MA<\/h3>\n

It was a blast! The convention was great, 2000+ brothers in attendance, a lot of workshops to choose from, service projects, legislative sessions and a variety of events that would appeal to everyone. They also have very helpful information service, and… APO USA brothers know how to party!<\/p>\n

Enjoy the pictures<\/h4>\n\n\t\t
