Mga sano, what advise can you give these 11 as they face the thrills and disappointments of "buhay sa luwas"?
1. to start off, me i'd encourage them to take a year off and just bum around and travel. see what its like being out in the world. well, thats what i would have done if given the chance to do it all over again hehehe.

A Matter of Waiting
by Gabby Lagamayo, B86
The problem with the future is that we don’t know how it will unfold. We can make some logical predictions based on history and observation, but there is always that x of an unknown that no one can anticipate. The vastness of predictive studies, and you can add the unscientific ones, could only comprehend things that have transpired.
Neat intro, huh? No? I thought I’d make a great impression. So what am I anxious about? In two measly weeks (as of the time I’m writing this piece) I’ll be joining the club of the big four-oh; entering the twilight zone where, they say, everything gets bad or good depending how you live your life. I’m the eldest in the batch so I get to become forty first. This post is about being that.

sorry for the late posting. i received news from tato marcial (b87) that haile frivaldo's (b83) dad passed away sometime last week.
our condolences nad prayers to the frivaldo family...
man, this is super amazing. its beyond belief!
its been kinda slow here lately, nothing new interesting comin up. but still this post has a "seminary" - in a tangentially religious kind of way maybe- relevance hehehe.
so the question is what if god had a myspace?
"May your year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art -- write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the year, you surprise yourself."
- Neil Gaiman
Sano Tato Marcial sent me a text informing that Sano Tobing Escobedo (batch?) has succumbed to injuries from a motorcycle accident in Gubat, Sorsogon
godspeed sano tobing...
Big congrats to Larry Manda for winning as best cinematographer for the movie "Maling Akala" in the recently concluded Cinema One Originals Digital Film Festival.
heh, its been a slow month here so i'll liven things up a bit... if you're still disappointed with how your life turned out after you went out of the seminary then read this and maybe you'll find something inspiring or whatever. who knows you might be the next tom cruise :-D
From Hollywood superstars to adulterous dilettantes, several seminary dropouts have managed to find success in the secular world. Here’s a sampling of the finest in almost-clergy.

Remember the legendary english teacher Ms. Resurreccion and the equally legendary required english lit topic --Beowulf? Here's Gibbs' entertaining writeup about them... (i hope ms. rexy is doing fine these days, any news about her?)
Aha, so it's pronounced “BAY-wulf.” All these years my high school classmates and I have pronounced it “BEE-wulf,” like how were taught in English literature. The release of the movie should prompt us to consider holding one of our usual reunions just so we could officially adopt the proper pronunciation of the name.
You see, “Beowulf” isn't just a story to us. Mention the word, and it brings back a lot of happy memories. We're silly sentimental SOBs like that.
We learned about Beowulf and Grendel and Grendel's monster mother not from Neil Gaiman, but in traditional high school English literature. I'm not sure if students today are still taught this old English epic poem. Our teacher was Mrs. Resurreccion, a white-haired, motherly, tiny bird of a lady, all 4'11" of her (perhaps even shorter).

here's B92 during a recent scrimmage in aemilianum. being that i heard they field the mightiest B-ball team of all sano batches ;-) am thinking is a match between the metro manila champs B83 and the sorsogon champs B92 not too far off?? even unavoidable???

head over to the B83 blog for pix and deets
one of the activities during the homecoming was tree planting. this is a good idea since OLPS is almost arot na with most of the tress felled down by past typhoons.
so if you should find yourself in sorsogon one of these days, take a little time out to plant a tree in OLPS. it would be cool to go back again in a few years or so and see your tree all grown up di ba?
here is sano ronny planting a tree
