Anj's Despedida

I found my way to Recipe and Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, both in TriNoma Mall, QC, last Friday. July 6, 2007.
 
The kuyukots barkada had a simple dinner / coffee despedida for our college friend Anj. She's leaving at the end of the month with her kids to join her husband Sirwin in New Zealand. (And so doth further depleting the ranks of the kuyukots in the Philippines). The remaining brave souls left in the Philippines are me, Elvie Lapuz, Rolly Cua, Petite Geronimo and family, and Enteng Tenefrancia with Luchi.

UPLISSA General Assembly, July 6, 2007

The UPLISSA (UP Library and Information Science Students Association), an organization based in the UP School of Library and Information Studies, UP Diliman, held their first General Assembly (GA) last Friday, July 6, 2007.
 
The UPLISSA had been battling against a depleted membership line-up (down to about 8 members, I think) when the majority of the membership base graduated last academic year. They bounced back this year through the efforts of Glenn, Kit, and the remaining members, with the help of recent UPLISSA alumni and the UPLISSA Alumni Board, when they launched an intensive membership drive to increase their ranks.
 
For those who are concerned about the welfare of the org (yes, that means you, Tyran, James and Christina), I think you have no need to worry. Things look okay, you left behind good orgmates who won't let the UPSLIS's oldest student academic org go down in smoke (but from what I've seen, if they're going down, they'd rather do so in a blaze of glory).
 
Ma'am Vyva Aguirre and I are the co-advisers and we were there for the GA, we'll do our darndest to help these guys out.
 
They've got exposure trips, academic help groups, other academic activities and bonding meets as well as several fund-raising activities lined up. One activity geared toward raising the necessary operating funds, touching base with alumni, establishing professional connections and OJT contacts is a UPLISSA Alumni Homecoming and Cocktails slated for the end of August. So if you're part of the UPLISSA alumni and you're free around that time, I'm going to make kulit you so that you'll join us then. :D

Portrait of the City Exhibit by the National Book Development Board and the Filipinas Heritage Library

Cecil Ingusan of the Filipinas Heritage Library posted this in one of the MLs I'm in.

We're inviting everyone to the Portrait of the City Exhibit by the National Book Development Board and the Filipinas Heritage Library.  It's an exhibit and tour of Metro Manila as depicted in the stories, poems, and essays of our local writers, like Nick Joaquin, Jose F. Lacaba, and Gilda Cordero-Fernando, who looked beyond the concrete paths and walls and saw stories and poetry. Please feel free to forward to your friends and colleagues.

For more info, please call 892-1801.

Thank you very much.  

Back to the house that love built

Yup, it's true. I'm bringin' sexy back. :D

I'm now teaching 160 and 260 series subjects again at the School of Library and Information Studies (formerly Institute of Library Science and later Institute of Library and Information Science).

To kick things off, I was one of the speakers at the SLIS welcome program held last June 12, 2007. Emang and I talked about career and employment opportunities, both in and out of libraries and information centers. (Sorry Emang, wasn't able to take phone pics of the two of us. O_o;; I still believe that you and Clair should start teaching so you could share your knowledge.)

There were speeches from the admin, faculty, library and the different UPSLIS orgs (UPLISSA and UP FLIPP) as well as the oath-taking of the new officers of the UP SLIS student council.

I was away from full time teaching for 7 years (5 years only if you count part time subjects until 2002). So chances are there'll be more tech, teaching and db stuff here.

It's nice to be back home. :D
