Valentine's 2012 Event for TFG: Visit to Virlanie Foundation on February 18, 2012

[Apokripos]

EventsCom updates:

I haven't received any response yet from two of our target sponsors since I emailed them the letter in the last of January.

K.D.: Can I have the name of the officer or person-in-charge in Virlanie who'll be having a closing remarks in the program?

Tricia: Are the name tags ready to be used in the 18th all set?

Thank you!

See you this coming Sunday...

[Veronica]

KD, sana maka-habol ka. Para mas masaya. :)

I will buy the plastic cover and the tape this afternoon. Assuming na 1 meter rin ang width ng plastic, ang compute ko I need to buy 25 meters. Papaputol ko na lang sa National ng buo para menos aksaya. Tapos bili rin ako ng 10 rolls ng Best-Buy tape yung one-fourth inch.

Mayroon akong 4 tape dispensers (3 small-holed and 1 big-holed). Kung tingin niyo kulang, please bring additional.

Text me if I need to buy anything else sa National.

Don't forget to save my number on your cell in case you get lost. :)

See you Sunday!

have you tried calling them? Most of the companies does not process requests until you make a follow up.

[Angus]

HEY GUYS!

For those who cannot make it on Sunday, Feb 12, but would still like to donate books, I'll be at SM Megamall starting 5 PM. I'll be meeting Em and Emir around 6:30 PM, so if you want to join, I'll be lurking around Powerbooks from 6:30 PM - 7 :00 PM. :D

[K.D.]

Hmmm, parang gusto kitang makita Angus! harhar

[Angus]

Bilis, gusto ko pumunta sa Cerealicious, haha. Baka doon ako tumambay.

At nagfile pa ako ng half-day today para lang makuha yung books nina Emir at Em. Na late kasi ako ng gising, hehehe.

[K.D.]

Ikaw na ang tinanghali tas pedeng ganun-ganun lang.

[Angus]

Eh madalang lang naman akong magleave, at saka medyo petiks ako lately.

At saka isa lamang akong minor employee, hindi kailangan ang presence ko rito ng magdamag. :D

[K.D.]

Good luck sa date nyo. Di pa ako sure. Labas ako ng 6 p.m. sa gym. Di ko pa alam kung may energy ang tuhod ko har har.

[Angus]

Emir: Uunahan na sana kitang imessage kanina, kaso nahiya naman ako, haha. Tsaka madalang lang akong magfile ng leaves, kaya mabilis lang. (Tsaka alam mo naman kung gaano kadali ang mga ganyang bagay dito sa office natin.)

KD: Wow! Bakit hindi ko pa makita ang ripped body mo? Haha!

[Angus]

I don't want to mention the name eh, hahaha. Alright, see you later! I'm going out. :D

[K.D.]

I've finally got hold of Kirsty Milev. Dumating na. Ito kasing mga assistants nya (Christian, Mellie) di nagre-return call. Alam nyo bang di pa sila nagco-confirm? So, Kirsty is now checking Elizabeth occupants. Tanong lang nya kung pedeng isama ang ibang homes or Elizabeth lang. Sabi ko, it does not matter. Basta yong mga teenagers na at least may kahit slight interest on books. Since mga 20 tayo, mga 30 lang na teenagers since our food will only be good for around 50.

Ilan na ba tayong sure? Yong food siguro pasobrahan natin up to 55.

Di ko pa natanong ang speaker nila Jzhun. Kapag tumawag. Either ngayon daw o bukas magre-return call si Kirsty. Napapa-English tuloy ako kahit nasa elevator harhar. Ayaw ko sa office kasi daming nakakakinig (i don't have my own room).

Anong gagawin natin sa mga maybe?
Eh sa mga naka-asterisk? Di ko sila kilala, no offense ha, la naman silang input sa thread para makapagkaroon kami ng start ng conversation, haay.

[Aries]

Yes.

[Cary]

Doc ranee, yes na din ako..wala naman kaming nakaschedule na activity nyan..

[Ayban]

My function sa ojt ko sa Sunday, kaya hapon na ako darating :D

[K.D.]

Ranee: Experience ko sa 1st F2F, kahit YES pero di nagparamdam (either sa thread o nag-send ng PM sa GR), wag mo nang i-count. Mga wala lang silang magawa. Much more yong nasa MAYBE gaya ng kuya ko harhar.

Si Josephine ng PM yan. Si Dhamscen din noon. Pero wala nang confirmation ngayon. Si Josephine parang huling PM nya gusto nyang mag-book signing. Sabi ko, di pede. Sa Anniv na lang sa April or July kagaya noong kay Sam Sotto. Di na ulit ng PM. Si Shiela naka-Yes sa F2F pero di dumating. Malamang di rin darating ngayon.

Ang pinakamagandang gauge ay ang pagiging aktibo sa thread. Kasi pag PM lang lalo na kung di pa nagshow-show up sa mga past events pedeng nangi-istir lang. Wala lang magawa.

Di pa rin tumawag si Kirsty today. Hintayin natin hanggang bukas. Nagdududa na ata ako. Di rin sila masyadong interesado sa atin har har. Pero let's wait up to tomorrow. I will let you know.

[Ace]

Di po ako makakapunta this sunday, 6 days pasok ko ngayong week :( di pumayag sa change sched...

[Apokripos]

To all the dashing people who came and lend a helping on the book covering yesterday...

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

To our hospitable host, Ms. Veronica...

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

@ K.D.: Where exactly in Roxas Blvd. will we meet?

[Veronica]

KD, ako na lang ang mag-order sa Amber's kasi mayroon silang branch sa Tomas Morato para dala ko na yung food pagpunta sa Virlanie.

Hindi na ako pupunta ng Quezon Ave. on that day kasi it will take Amber an hour and a half prepare the food. For those who will ride with me, let me know where I can pick you up along the way. My route is Tomas Morato-Ortigas-EDSA-Buendia.

Thanks to everyone who attended the book-covering. It was so much fun. Nice to have seen old friends and make new ones. :)

We have 236 books, all neatly covered and stickered. Hindi nagkulang ang stickers ni Jzhun! Salamat at hindi niyo ako pinag-cover. Haha. Nag-lista naman ako ng books. :)

[K.D.]

Veronica: Okay. Just make sure that we have enough food. Kasi teenagers ang ating ifi-feed eh. Growing boys and girls.

Aaron is now joining us!

Josephine (Isshi Dream publisher) and husband will come too.

I told them that they can still donate books as long as they are appropriate and covered with plastic. Then we will have to put on the stickers on that day na lang.

Jzhun: Hmmm. Parang convenient sa akin ang Aristocrat sa Roxas Blvd. Let's meet there at 10:00 a.m.?

K.D. ubos na ang stickers, eh.

Aristocrat is fine with me, Kuya. If Ruby will join us, I think mas malapit ang dorm niya doon. Just my opinion, though.

[K.D.]

Angus and the Library Committee:

JOB WELL DONE!!!

Parang dapat tayong magisip na bumili ng bookshelf. I am sure di kasya yan sa kanilang kaisa-isang bookshelf na yon!

Veronica/Jzhun/Ranee/Angus/Tina/Maria/Po/JL:
Do you think we should meet, to finalize all plans for Saturday?

I'm free on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights. Gateway, Superbowl at 7:00 p.m.? I prefer Thursday but the other two nights are fine too. Friday is too close kung meron pa tayong dapat gawin.

[Cary]

sorry hndi na ko nkahabol sa book covering but i had fun hanging out again with some of the tfg pips. Ayun, di pa rin ako nakapasok ng 7am haha

[K.D.]

Jzhun: Ha ha. Reserve na lang natin yong mga books na dadalhin nila. Unless they want to hand them over during the visit. Di na natin controlled yon. Har har.

Ruby: Sige, sa akin ka na lang mag-ride.

[Apokripos]

Hindi kami magsasawa sa 'yo, Po.

'Wag mo nga lang ulit kukwento yung frontal scene ni Julia nang paulit-ulit, ha.

You've star-strucked our hearts forever, PO.

[K.D.]

Core Team: Oo nga pala. Since wala tayong bank account. Kung may prospective donors pa kayo, you can invite them to attend the dinner. Treat natin sila for their generosity harhar.

[K.D.]

Kulit nga nyan. Noong last time kaming mag-book hunt yon naman si George Clooney ang paulit-ulit nyang kuwento. Parang lolo na tuloy. Paulit-ulit. har har. Lolo Po!
