Mga padi, this man is a great host. Grabe an pagpadaba sa aton during our three-night-two-day stay at his Ingko Hotel. Saludo kami saimo, Erwin. 

Spiritual Session?  

Setting up for the overnight religious shows 

INGKO HOTEL, your home away from home. Also, Batch 86's home away from the state of grace (ha ha ha). 

Naghudam lang plantsa kan Dante, nagpapiricture pa (in front of Dante's Parents' house inside the Our Lady's Village Subdivision in Bibincahan) 

Preparing for the parade. Nakaplantsa pa lang c Tivo 

Proudly holding the small tarpauline banner during the parade around downtown 

Familiar pa ba o parang may nabago? 

after the exhausting parade, taking refreshments at the refectory 

Certainly, not camera-shy. Doing an interview with AI-TV5. 

Investiture ni Tio Nards. Honorary member of Batch86. Tio Nards has already retired since he reached the age of 60. 

Batch Planning Session around 11 am at one of the kiosks behind the Grotto 

Coming out of the Big Dorm. (After lunch, the batch decided to take a look around.) 

Bagay ba? At the new-look chapel. Renovation is still unfinished. 

General Assembly at the Study Hall. While the speakers were doing their thing, everybody else was doing everything except listen. Rino's busy playing Family Feud on his computer. By the way, Erwin, Nono and Junie got elected to the Board of Trustees, maski habo ninda. 

Enjoying "special halo halo" on Calle Nueva Street care of Nono who just arrived from Singapore 

Picture taken in front of the Dental Clinic of Dr. Cecilia Doloiras whom Henri claims to be his girlfriend. Wonder if she knows... 

Waiting for Rino, Tyrone and Tivo to finish a basketball game  

'Twas a very tiring first day. Jet dozing off at Ingko before going back to the seminary at 7:30 pm for the Dinner-Socials.

Shirt design from rino

(ps: rino di ko makuha ang shade na emerald green)

Attached are two(2) shirt designs which I propose for our Batch Uniform. Imagine retaining the WHITE parts and replacing the colored parts

with EMERALD GREEN:

Design #1 (w/ buttons):

• We can have the OLPS Seal replace the existing print at the front left-breast side part of the shirt…
• At the back, we can have a full-blown rubberized “Maelstrom” print instead of the name…

Design #2 (V-neck) Tommy Hilfiger Design:

• We have the option for a full-blown Maelstrom print infront of the shirt
• At the back, we can have the inscription splashed at the back…”padi man kami”…with a play on the word “padi” as meaning we are all padi as in pards, pare…whatdyathink?

T-shirt Designs

repost: made the images smaller.

here's another sketch. here's another i made during lunch break. i deleted the previous design kasi mahirap i-silkscreen (jet)










Here's a quick sketch by wiron before he left for sorsogon today. the green color is not the shade we want. yun lang kasi ang green sa word (galing ni wiron ano sa word pa niya ginawa ito --wee, mag-adal ka na photoshop o illustrator) :-D

OLPSBATCH86 BANK ACCOUNT

We have finally opened a bank account at Chinabank! On August 31, 2005, Dave and I went to Metrobank all set to open an account there, but were shocked to learn that we needed P10,000.00 for the initial deposit. So, we settled for Chinabank.

The account is joint and allows Dave or me to withdraw without need of the other's signature. It's for a passbook and ATM (to be released after two weeks).

Mga padi, we don't have to deposit huge amounts to be able to contribute (but we encourage our millionaire-batchmates to do just that!). A hundred pesos a month will do.
