UP Singing Librarians (UP SLIS)

I guess you might have read about the 26K Dancing Librarians either from the Filipino Librarian’s blog or heard it discussed on the Philippine Daily Inquirer, but were you able to watch the librarians sing on the CarolFest at UP this year?

If I remember correctly, The UP Singing Librarians (UPSL?) was formed on the 2nd week of December when a group of SLIS students (Randolf, Dan, Noel, Janny, Vjay, Vin, Darrel, Chad, Geexie, Mennie, Grace, Jill, Iya, Kriz, Bianca) started practicing for the presentation. The songs that we had sung on the CarolFest last December 14 include Kumukutikutitap by Ryan Cayabyab (required piece), God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman, and Sana Ngayong Pasko.

The result of the CarolFest was only released after the university’s lantern parade. Although we weren’t able to place on the top 3, it was definitely a fabulous start (for starters!) and everyone enjoyed on the performance for I think that was the first time SLIS participated to such an event. So again, congratulations to the UP Singing Librarians! See you next year’s chorale fest!

Happy Christmas! ^_^

Sandaang Pasko, Nandito Na Tayo

If I remember correctly, the celebration of the Christmas season in UP Diliman started with the Pag-iilaw sa Pasko tradition that was followed by a dance concert that featured the resident dance groups of the university together with the UP Concert Chorus.

Christmas Blast

10 days and not even a single update? The romantic geek was just tired from the consequent events: parties, Simbanggabi’s, choir rehearsals/performances, and all the happenings that makes this December a very memorable one to me, myself and I.

Stay tuned for I shall be uploading (stolen?) pictures and videos from all of these happenings.

Christmas Wishlist

There are barely 2 weeks left before Christmas Day comes, so I might as well update my old wishlist. Here it goes:

• MacBook – I really need one, now na, for thesis sake!
• Buffet (Don Henricos? Saisaki? Dad’s? Cabalen?) – yes, and that’s why I’m so excited on the Trinoma Food Tour this week!
• Flickr+Zooomr+DotPhoto+Multiply Image Host – for I need a FREE image/video hosting that has all of these features.
• 4×4/5×5 Rubik’s Cube – I need something to work on when I have spare time to waste(?).
• any geek apparel – How about a Microsoft stuff for a change?
• Electric or Acoustic Steel Guitar – I guess the guitar I was using for more than 6 years needs a replacement already.
• Happiness and a Stress-Free Peace of Mind – These are the simplest, and most meaningful gifts that money cannot buy.

So, what’s on your wishlist?
