calling all sano interested to help out in the prep works for the 2008 OLPS foundation day, please sign up here. Batch 83 is in charge of this year's foundation day and they need all our help to make this year's foundation day the best ever.

i have no idea yet about the plans re from the OLPS minor or from B83 but they could surely use our help. ok?

one of the problems frequently encountered is communicating will all the sano. perhaps some sano there in sorsogon can help out Ms. Halcon or whoever is in charge of OLPS Alumni Relations to send out letters/emails/text to all sano about the foundation activities.

suggestions are most welcome here and i'll email them to padi rector and to gerry arnedo (b83) and also circulate them via our mailing list.

A Matter of Waiting

here's another fine addition from Gabby of B86 to the ever-growing collection of prose and verses in the soon to be literary hit "The Book of Sano" :-p


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...

guitar god

man, this is super amazing. its beyond belief!

God, the myspace user

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
