[Cary]

[Tricia]

Sinong manggaling South?

[K.D.]

All: Kirsty sent a text message this afternoon. Reminding us of this event on Saturday. I sent back a text saying that we are preparing for it. In fact, the committee heads will have the final meeting tomorrow.

Yon lang.

[Josephine]

ako po ang tao na hindi nagbabasa ng thread ^_^ sorry guys... just want to know... how do I get to Virlanie homes from Glorietta?

Guys, can I get your numbers? K.D.? Just in case we get lost... 1PM ang call time, right?

[JL]

Hi KD, pwede po ako for tomorrow's meeting. Just text me when and where in Gateway exactly, thanks po :)

[Rollie]

Jzhun: Penge isang pin. Please. Hehe

[K.D.]

Josephine: I'll send you my number via a PM here at GR. Yes, it's 1p.m. but we (the committee heads) will try to be there at 12:30 p.m. There is a email on how to go there from Veronica. I'll send it to you tomorrow.

JL: Ok.

Rollie: According to Jzhun, dapat andoon ka sa Virlanie. Yon ang entitlement mo sa pin.

thanks K.D., appreciate it very much!

[Rollie]

Pwede pa ba sumama? Kay JL sana ako sasabay. May space pa po ba?

[Tuklas Pahina (TP)]

Pare Rollie sama ka na cge ka! "u miss half of ur life!"...

Pare, Pag wala ng space kay JL, sa heart ko may SPACE pa!...boom!....hahaha!

[K.D.]

Ano ba yang heart na yan, kung kani-kanino na piniprisinta har har. Desperate na talaga har har.

May kasabihan po tayow: Ang taong desperate, kahit sa lalake kumakapeyt. =)) (napadaan lang...*exits.)

[K.D.]

Ha ha. Tama, AennaA. Dumaan ka ulit. har har

[Angus]

KD: Tuloy ba mamaya? Saan? Malelate ako.

hahaha. minsan lang dumaan, nagsalbahe pa. :D

[Mariel]

hello! i was just wondering if i can still join on saturday? if yes, can you email me the details and what i have to bring? my email address is marielaloo@gmail.com. thanks! :)

[Tina]

Ack ack :( Schedule change again today, I have to be on mid shift work today :( Sorry. (Huhu, gusto ko na ng shift na hindi nagpapalit. :/ )

[Angus]

Emir: According to Wiki, the pronunciation is "zhid". Or is it "zheed"?

[Maria]

KD,

sorry i can't make it tonight. i thought of meeting you early sa Sat to catch up sa mapag-uusapan nyo tonight kaso hindi din ako pwede.

baka pwedeng iba na lang ang mag-emcee na mas nakakaalam sa program? pero pupunta pa din ako sa Virlanie.

my babysitter quit early this week, kaya super tight ang time ko for the moment. :(

[K.D.]

Committee Heads and others: 7 p.m. pa rin mamaya. Text-text na lang sa venue but it will be at Gateway. I'll be there in Cubao at around 5 p.m. kasi magbo-bookhunt pa ako. But I will stay up to 10 p.m.

Mariel: The details are here. Please read the thread. Or I will do the updated lists maybe tomorrow after the committee heads' meeting tonight.

Maria: That's okay. I think Jzhun is willing to emcee by himself. Sya naman ang communication graduate eh. har har.

Honestly, I don't think it is hard to do. Pag walang gusto, ako na lang. har har. Parang F2F 1 lang. Walang gustong mag-moderate pag una. Default: ang tatay.

[Rollie]

Puno na taaga kina JL? Kanino kaya pwede? :D Desperado.

[Rollie]

Emir: Solohin niya heart niya. :D

[Angus]

KD: Kapag malakas pa rin ang ulan mamayang gabi, hindi na ako tutuloy.

Emir: I'm tokinebout Andre Gide.

[Maria]

Thanks, KD.

It's not that it will be hard to do for me. un nga lang, i am not prepared so better kung iba nlng.

[Angus]

Emir: mey-nahzh ah trwah, almost similar na rin nung kay Miss V.

[Tricia]

Sudden change of plans :( I can't make it on the 18th :(

[Angus]

Emir: Text kita until 6PM, pero mukhang maaraw na rin naman. spon-tuh-NEY-i-tee

[Mariel]

may room pa ba for the car pool? hehe, i'm from quezon city. or kung wala na, diretso na lang po ako ng virlanie. tas pahabol, i will bring these books, koberan ko na lang later when i get home :)

[Rollie]

JL: Yehey! Sige sa'yo nalang ako sasabay. :D PM ko digits ko. :D Thanks!

[Maria]

Emir, ibang klase din ang manghuhula na yan ah! LOL

[twstrfries]

Change of plans, di na ako aattend ng wedding pero may pasok naman ako ng Saturday.

Hmf. Out ko is 3pm. Di na aabot. Sayang. :(

[Rollie]

Alona: Di ba may plano sila after Verlanie. Sama kanalang. :P

[Maria]

dude, ano ung plano?

[Rollie]

dude, I forgot pero sina Jzhun at Si Mr. Inom ang nag-usap eh. :D

[Maria]

naku, mukhang session yan. lol

[Rollie]

Bwahaha. Hindi mukhang session eh session talaga ata eh.

[JL]

I think there will be a feedback session right after the virlanie event (im not sure about this), maybe during dinner na yun onwards if ever :)

Hi Mariel, may space pa sa car if you would like to go and you're near the ortigas meetup point (robinsons galleria - please see my post above regarding this) :) i think no need na to bring the books asp KDs advise next time nlng.

Virlanie Map



Directions to Virlanie



You may also send me a private message to get my digits if you feel that you are not good with directions. See you tomorrow! :)

[Angus]

KD, pakipost na rin yung pick up points for the carpool. Thanks!

[K.D.]

Pairings for the Breakaway Groups Tomorrow!

2 TFG Members + 3 Virlanie Kids = 10 breakaway groups

Logic for Pairing: "Sun and Moon" --> one reads YA, the other Literary; one is young, one is older; one is somewhat intro, the other somewhat extro; one is outgoing, one is reserved; one is vocal, the other timid; ...

Veronica & Po
Josephine & Angus
Nicole & K.D.
Mariel & Jzhun
Ranee & Rowell
Maria & Patrick
Cary & Aries
Kikay & JL
Ruby & Charles
Sheryl & Ayban
Ariel & Aaron

Rollie will cover for whoever will be late for the breakaway sessions. Most likely, for Sheryl.


The idea: you have a book with you and you will talk about it to the 3 Virlanie kids. You tell them how it inspired you as a young person. You may want to tell them what is it all about (without much spoilers) and maybe some anecdotes related to it.

The objective: influence them to become readers like us. So the book should have a very positive inspiring message to them. Remember they were street children and they need inspiration and courage to face the life challenges when they finally leave that home.

The requests: handle the discussion well. Baka doon pa kayo mag-away o magtalo about your respective books. huwag mag-kontrahan. let the other person talk. show interest to the lives (their life stories, their hobbies, etc) of the teenagers. let them talk too and listen to them. baka naman kayo na lang ng kayo har har. but try to stay focused on your books and the joy of reading. ask what books they've read and what they thought about those. ask about their favorite author even if that is a textbook author. textbooks are books too. last but not the least, invite them to join goodreads.

[Veronica]

Ay galing Angus! di ko na kailangan i-send sa iyo. Hinahanap ko pa nga. Haha

Dadaanan ka ba namin bukas?

Patrick and Rowell, Si Ranee and Po are riding with me, plus Angus, kung sakali. Mas maluwag kay JL na kotse. I already told him about the two of you last night. Please see JL's Message #530 for meet-up details and PM him na lang.

[Maria]

thanks s directions, chami! im thinking of bringing a car kaso anlabo ko sa navigation. lol

who would know if maluwag ang parking sa Virlanie? or sakto lang?

[Angus]

Charles: The Christmas Quotes shirt is fine.

For those who did not print that kind of shirt or if that shirt is in the weekend laundry, please wear comfortable clothes, preferably jeans and shirt. Huwag tayong magsuot ng gaudy and flashy clothes accessories. Tapos na ang concert ni Avril Lavigne kaya tama na please, hahaha.

[Cary]

k.d. Di ba kasama si rollie?

[K.D.]

Cary: May message sya somewhere na di sya makakasama. That's why nasa Regrets sya early this week pa.

[Maria]

between Patrick and me, i guess i'm the introvert, reserved, and timid.

Hi Patrick! *waves*

[Maria]

Charles wrote: "baka gusto mo pang iinclude Maria na ikaw ang younger??:DD"

ooops. yeah missed that. LOL thanks for reminding me, Charles!

[K.D.]

Charles: Darating si Ruby. Pag sinabi nun, darating yon. Wala lang time sa threads. Do you have her number? You can ask Jzhun.
