I did, of course. Most of them costs P250-350/head then the equipment for the buffet cost P100/head. Hope to find a cheaper one. Medyo expensive na yung mga nasa internet lol

[K.D.]

Onga, pero at least my idea ka.

Tsaka hindi ito lunch or dinner ha. Somewhere in between. Pede ring mag-rent tayo ng tables and chairs then mag-order na lang tayo sa Pancit Malabon. Then somebody will buy KFC buckets. Then somebody will buy juice in tetrapack.

Kaya naiisip ko siguro mas mabuti kung pledges muna. Kaso, wala pa yatang nag-pledge except Tina and I. har har.

[Maria]

Masarap magluto ermat ko.

I can pledge spaghetti in styro boxes w/ lumpiang shanghai...? parang may birthday lang. LOL

KD, sana may magpledge ng cake :)

[Tricia]

KD, same din inisip ko. If we still want buffet-type, hiram nalang tayo ng equipment :) we can buy nga Pancit or Maria's spaghetti, then may shanghai pa :)

for desserts, cake or cupcakes or mga sweet breads, etc :)

[Joyzi]

Ok eto po muna dadalhin ko: College Algebra, Basic English for College, Method of Thesis Writing, maguupdate na lang ako.

[Ranee]

Hi! Si Tina, KD, Emir, Ellie and She ay nagmessage na ng personal pledges for the event sa akin. For that thank you! Ayoko munang i-post kung magkakano pledges. para isahan na lang.

[Sheryl]

Angus: Kindly cross out The Giver by Lois Lowry replace instead with The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens.:D Thanks. :)

[K.D.]

Ranee: 4 ang PMs ko dito sa GR today. Related lahat sa Virlanie. Para na rin akong may mga fan mails na sinasagot.

Meron doong nag-suggest na mag-open tayo ng account para doon na lang ideposit ang mga pledges. May time ka bang mag-open?

We can open it under our names: Ranee, Veronica at K.D. Ginagawa namin ito dito sa paluwagan or "mini-coop" dito sa office. BPI. Mago-open sa January. Iko-close sa December. Kasi bagong set ng officers at yong mga hulog pinapamigay na sa December. 1 year lang ang buhay ng account har har.

Wag mo nang i-broadcast ang pledges. Total na lang. Hindi naman pasikatan ito. Tumutulong tayo dahil sa pagmamahal natin hindi lang sa mga libro kundi rin sa kapwa natin. Lalo na sa mga kabataan. Sa event na lang ipasilip (or even bigyan ng kopya ang mga donors) mo sa amin ang list. Wag na dito sa thread.

Suggestions ko lang naman ito. Any member can disagree with me. As usual, okay lang. At normally ang nagdisagree sa akin ang panalo har har.

[K.D.]

Maria: Walang styro. Ayaw nila nun. Feeling ko, maraming gumagawa nun. Foundation ito kasi. Alam mo na, ang dinner or lunch, may isang kanin may isang ulam. Malamang walang second servings. May picture doon sa newsletter. Kahit ako man, noong growing boy ako, fantasy ko lagi ang buffet har har.

So, mas naiisip ko yong bilao na spaghetti o pansit malabon o palabok o bihon. Tapos may garlic bread or plain loaf bread. Tapos tama! May cakes! Kahit ako na sa cakes! Ayos na ba ang Goldilocks rolls? Ube at Mocca? Tapos siguro may ice cream. Tapos yong iba pa like yong cupcakes ni Tricia.

Kailangan na lang natin plastic spoons, forks, disposable cups (for ice cream). Tas chairs and tables!

Yon na. Walang nang main plot at sub-plot har har.

[[deleted user]]

Yes, wag na pong i-post, please :)

ako din, medyo complicated kasi ang schedule ko, bigla nalang pinapatawag ng clients... Pero naghahanap-hanap na rin ako sa ngayon ng pwedeng mag-cater nang mura lang.

Pls. send Veronica (aka Ronnie) a PM with the courier's name and tracking number so that we can monitor it. We'll post all deliveries received on this thread.

[Maria]

KD, the purpose of styro boxes is not to limit the food but for organized and speedy distribution. apart from the styro boxes, a bilao for spaghetti can be provided for those who want second or third helpings.

it's easier to hand out these boxes rather than having the kids line up to get their food.

just saying. :)

[K.D.]

Maria: I think gusto nilang mag-line up. Gawin natin two lines para di matagal ang pila.

[Tricia]

Hello, how about this group package? http://www.contis.ph/catering-set-men...

[K.D.]

Oh I love Contis!

Tapos magdala na lang tayo ng 3 bilao ng noodles: palabok, spaghetti at chami. Pa-deliver na lang tayo sa Buddy's or Amber's.

Okay na ba kayo dito? Teka, kasya ba ang pera, Ranee?
Donate na lang ako ng Goldilocks cakes for late afternoon snack.

[Angus]

KD: Pwedeng Conti's na rin ang cake? Hahaha. :D

[AennA]

Pasingit, a few blocks away lang sa Yague St., ang Amber's. :)

[Veronica]

Thanks Tricia and Emir. If we assume all the 50 teens will attend plus the 20 members (so far), that's 70 pax. Tricia, do you think they can lower the price for more than 50 pax?

Right now, here's the per head breakdown:
Menu 1 - 145.00 per person x 70 = 10,150.00
Menu 2 - 124.00 per person x 70 = 8,680.80
Menu 3 - 191.00 per person x 70 = 13,370.00
Menu 4 - 203.00 per person x 70 = 14.210.00
Menu 5 - 197.00 per person x 70 = 13,790.00

It's a little expensive, don't you think? Wala pang drinks yan, paper plates, paper cups, napkins and kubiertos. Assuming we get the minimun (Menu 2), I think, for 8,700.00 we can buy more food than this.

[K.D.]

Hindi natin ii-invite ang buong teenage population ng Virlanie, Veronica. Yong iba sa kanila may practice. Ang pakaintindi ko parang 20 lang ang nasa Elizabeth and then they will invite another 10 from another house. So, max na ang 50 kasi 20 from us. We can tell Virlanie that we are only accommodate 20 because that is our number. Remember, we said na gusto natin 1:1? I suggest na i-confirm natin ito sa kanila. Kasi pag marami rin lang (siguro, sabihin natin yong mga teenagers na nagbabasa na kahit pakonti-konti) baka magiging kainan lang at ma-dilute yong intention natin na mag-influence sa kanila.

Tsaka baka nga di kaya ng lugar ang 70 pax or more.
Bukod doon sa pledges na gagamitin pagbili ng food. Magdala na lang tayo ng mga extra. Like me, I will bring Goldilocks cakes.

Angus: Mahal ang cake sa Conti's. Tsaka di mo naman debut ang pinagpre-preparahan natin. Nagpapakain tayo ng mga ex-streetchildren har har. Tama na ang goldilocks. Hoy, masarap na yon kahit saken.


Gusto ko yong mga noodles sa Amber's lalo na yong spaghetti na maraming cheese at hotdogs. Har har.

[Angus]

Buti na lang hindi ako Food Comm. Whew!

[Veronica]

Sigue, magdala ako ng BBQ. :)

[Veronica]

Angus wrote: "Buti na lang hindi ako Food Comm. Whew!"

Ay sorry, nakialam ako sa Food Comm! Haha Wala, naisip ko lang baka mahal lalabas. :)

[Ranee]

mahal ang Conti's. Di pa swak sa budget! hahaha.
sa floor tayo kakain ng sosyal na food ng conti's!
paano ang table and chairs?

Masarap ang ambers. Actually, kung titingnan, meron din silang pichi-pichi, palabok at shanghai. pati bbq.
may alam akong masarap na bbq place, 13pesos each stick. di na tayo mapapahiya sa sarap nun. hehe.

kung alang table and chairs, siguro mas mainam na naka individual styro ang food? what do you think? suggestion lang. Pero kung buffet type, pwede na ang ambers. dagdagan na lang ng pastries. then magdala na lang ang iba ng banig. One big group, one banig.

[Tricia]

Hello! Di pa ako nakatawag sa Conti's ngayon. Bukas itatanong ko.

Actually, kung gusto po ng buffet (group package), so far Conti's na yung pinakamura na nakita ko hehe puro P250-350/head kasi nakita ko pero kayo po, di ko po kasi alam how much talaga ang budget na nakalaan sa food :D

Wala po bang plates and kubyertos na maprovide ang Virlanie?

[Ranee]

check mo ang amber's (www.amber.com.ph) may 80pesos/pax sila. tapos add-ons na lang tayo.

[Apokripos]

Good day TFG peeps,

Here are the proposed design for the book donation stickers that I did with a few explanatory comment below each image:



Helping hands is the particular theme I had in mind in conceptualizing the sticker's design, and I think the interconnected hands not only give it emphasis as it also, in a way, symbolizes the close friendship and sense of community we have as a book club.

For purposes of identification as the donor, I still incorporated our group's logo enclosed by the Helping Hands image to underscore, too, that the book club, no matter our differences, is what binds us.

As suggested by K.D. earlier on the thread, I added the text The Readers Who Care to indicate, in simple words that this group effort is done for charity.

For the age appropriateness of each book that will be given, I designed a simple rating system, inspired by the ESRB logo we usually see in the covers of most video games, and put it as an add-on to the image above. I decided to only make three rating categories for simplicity and, of course, functionality when I printed the stickers.



Everyone: This logo is self-explanatory. We can put the Bible, Children's books and picture books and nursery rhymes under this category.


Teens: Mostly young-adult novels.


Mature: I just made this as a reserved category if there's such a book that will make this grade, e.g. for violent novels.

Your comments, suggestion, criticisms, violent reactions on these sticker designs are highly appreciated.

Thank you,
jzhun

[Rigil Kent]

Good eve everyone! Gusto ko po sanang magsabi na ako ay gusto ring makasama sa activity na ito. :D I can volunteer for eventscom dahil sa tingin ko ay on the day of the event lang ako makakapunta at hirap ako makaattend if ever may meet ups before the event since dito po ako sa cavite! Hoping to see you all soon!

Ok lang po kaya ang Noli at El fili na mai donate? thank you!

[Apokripos]

Rigil, of course, welcome na welcome ka sa activity namin!

Thanks in advance for your book donations! ;)

[Angus]

I love the design, Jzhun. However, an itsy-bitsy comment: hindi na ba talaga natin papalitan ang group logo? Hahaha. Napapataas kasi ang kilay ko dun sa white space.

[Tricia]

Haha! if we will ask OMF lit for books and Bibles, I'll need a proposal letter to forward to Miss Ida :)

@Angus: taas kilay talaga?!

[K.D.]

SUPER LIKE JZHUN. Ikaw na ang artist! :)

[Kyusireader]

I love the logos, jzhunagev! So wonderful!

[Apokripos]

Thanks, guys!

Emir, I second your suggestion, too.
I believe that books we're donating need not be screened or rated. Tinging ko lahat naman ng books ay wholesome.

I leave that the task for categorizing is in the hands of the librarian in the orphanage.

Naging uber-ready lang ako. :)

[K.D.]

Warning lang, Emir. Kasi baka mapulaan tayo kapag puno ng sex at violence ang librong recommended natin sa kanila. Kasi, remember first time natin ito at book club tayo. Supposed to be nabasa na natin ang mga librong ido-donate natin at may intention tayo to influence them. Good influence, siyempre.

[Angus]

Ako I go with Emir. Sex and violence happen everyday, so why censor something that is mundane?

And besides, yung list of books natin ay wala pa namang Henry Miller, Anais Nin, Elfriede Jelinek, etc.

[Apokripos]

At para mapadali, mapamura ang cost ng printing ng stickers. ;)

[K.D.]

Eh kasi ang mga books na may idea mo ng sex and violence pang-mature reader na Angus. Ito pang 12-18 years old lang.

Dyan nga papasok ang silbi ng stickers. Kapag may "M" alam nilang merong sex and violence.

For example sa "Lord of the Flies" may violence.
Sa "Kafka on the Shore" may hermaprodite.

Marami rito siguro "parentless" at wala sa normal environment na may tatay at nanay na magga-guide. So, kailangan nila ng guidance in the form of warning.

[Angus]

Still, we are not censors. I don't think anyone has the right to censor books. Besides, they have their own minds. They can form their opinions. They can read, right?

Regarding giving them a warning, I think it's better if you should just give a small talk about this during the event.

[K.D.]

I disagree. The audience during the talk will leave after few years. But the books will stay and will be read by others who are currently living on the streets.

We are not censoring. We are only classifying the books.

Believe me, Angus. I have a daughter and I have some qualms when I see her reading sex-oriented books. I know that this is an unfounded fear sabi nga ni Veronica "baka di mo alam mas may alam pa yang mga yan kaysa sa atin." But still I don't want to assume. I just want to be in the safe side. Ayaw ko na sa atin pa manggagaling ang sexual education nila. We will be there once (or once a year) so we will not be there to explain what they read or their busy "nanay" will not have all the time to guide them. I want them to have a good impression about us and our group.

[Angus]

That's more or less the same. I'm not even going to read the whole thing. :p

[Angus]

YEHEY! Ang dami na nating books c/o Miss Ronnie's anonymous donors. And Miss Ronnie herself, of course. See the updated list above. :D

[Cary]

sana bata na lang din ako sa orphanage, daming books akong gusto!! kidding aside, i'll try to look for books na ipamimigay ko.

Dates to remember:
February 10 - Deadline for the submission of books.
Place and time: TBD.
February 12 - Book covering and deadliest deadline for those who cannot make it on February 10.
Place: Miss Ronnie's house.
Time: TBD.

We also strongly encourage you to bring your books on January 28 during our 1984 Book Talk. We are also looking for volunteers who wish to be a part of the LibComm headed by yours truly. What's our job? We gauge the level of "appropriateness" of the books donated. Is a book in or out? Stuff like that.

To the donors of Non-Specific Books (Tina, Rowell, Atty. Monique, Alona, Ellie, Tricia, Alona, Ruby), kindly post the specific titles of the books you are donating so that we can tally the total number of books. This would greatly help in determining the costs for sticker production and book covering.

Obrigado!

As for publicity: What would we need? And sorry wala pala ako kahapon. ^^
