The OLPS Alumni "working group" (tato, how do we call the group volunteering to revive the alum association?) will hold the next meeting on July 18, 2008 at OLPS Minor

Agenda will include, among others, the points raised and discussed during the previous meeting (minutes here)

All Sano are most welcome to participate in the meeting.

Mga sano, maybe you can pitch in in the repair of this torn down fence:

Mga Sano, i was tasked to post this picture of OLPS Minor Seminary gate. Maybe we can collect some money from the Alumni who wants to help our Alma Mater.

If you will remember this is the "pader" along Bibincahan Sorsogon we usually scale doing our "great escape".

Shown in the picture is the home of the clergy on the right side and the study hall on the left.

Please desposit any donation to OLPS PNB Account Numbers : 478-811387-6 (PhP), 478-700725-8 (US$)...by the way hope to see you this Alumni Homecoming!

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.
