PED XING: The PSHS Fair Concert (A fundraiser for our burned down faculty center)


Ped Xing Poster - Nov 28


KJWAN will open the show at 5pm! Don't miss it!!!

Majority of proceeds will be donated for the rebuilding of our faculty center, which burned down last September 30, displacing our teachers and destroying decades-worth of their work-related and personal belongings.

Those who wish to donate may also deposit their donations to the PSHS Foundation, Inc. bank account:
PSHS Foundation, Inc.
Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) SM North EDSA Branch
Account # 4431-0000-54

Please fax your deposit slip to 929 1606, indicating that your donation is for the PSHS Faculty Center.

You can also show up at this gig and hand in your donations in a sealed envelope. Members of the PSHS Foundation will be there to receive your donation.

Your help will be very much appreciated!


Note: Bag and body search will be conducted. Please do not bring cigarettes, liquor, prohibited substances, weapons, etc.

Impromptu sembreak - online aftermath of the Pisay fire

Biglang nagka-'bakasyon' ang mga bata. Hehehe.

Yes, the fire is a VERY sad thing. I can't imagine how depressed and angry I would be if it were our area that was affected.


On the other hand, I couldn't help but notice - biglang nabuhay ang Multiply, hahaha. I guess since the kids just had their one-day holiday stretched to six days, they suddenly found time to blog/post (more) again, and their posts are about events that happened weeks before, hehehe.

Nakakatawa pa mga title the blog entries about the fire - kung may bonfire daw ang Ateneo, meron din sa Pisay; masyado raw hot ang (taga)Pisay kaya nagkasunog, etc etc. Again, I do recognize the severity of the situation, and so do the kids, and I'm sure they don't mean to offend, so I hope no offense will be taken.

As for me, yes I have tons to check (and my students know that, too, hehehe - sorry na, will definitely get that done this week!), but for now, I'm taking the night off to also catch up on posting.

For one, I haven't even properly blogged about my engagement (yihee), though I think I don't need to do that anymore

Also, I've still got tons of pics from Humanities Week and other events that I haven't posted yet.

One at at time, one at a time.


But for now, what I'd really like to celebrate (and I'm sorry it came with this post, which started out talking about a sad event) is my tenth year with Andrew! More on that later

EDIT 10.01.08 - Ayan. Ten years of Andrew

Sunog sa Pisay :(

A fire started very early this morning (1 AM-ish) in Pisay at the Faculty Center, 2nd floor Science Humanities Building. The investigation is still ongoing so I can't say much about the whys and the hows. Let the pics speak for themselves. Photos c/o Lara Cion (salamat, Lara!). Sad =(

UPDATE 10.01.08 - More pics from Sir Llaguno and Sir Lim







I've heard that the Fair Comm and the SA have started planning fundraisers. I guess this is where SAMAPI can help - guys, let's use the fair gig we're planning to raise funds for this!!! (Yes, itutuloy natin ang fair gig, ayt!)

Everyone, let's volt in!

PLEASE STAY TUNED FOR ANNOUNCEMENTS re: perio, fair, and other schedules; how to help out (donations, etc.). You can regularly check the school's website for the official word. Or this space for the unofficial word.
