'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.

still another design

Pinagibo ko ini na mga designs sa Padi ko didi sa Gubat. 

Happy Bday BJ!

Homecoming T-shirt Design

mga padi! sino an makahimo sin design para sa tshirt naton sa homecoming? mag-submit na lang tabi nin design nan pagpirilian na lang naton.

Meetup kina kit part 2

natuloy din ang meetup kina kit. dumating sina rino, gabby, cando, mervs, kit, jet, jason, wiron and tyrone (who flew in from cebu just to join us ---hehehe wow talaga ano?). compared to the last meetup medyo hind maingay kami ngayon (kaunti lang) -- namiss si eric tuloy. wara pan-o an mga maribok :-)

it was a little laidback and introspective. we shared more about life experiences and personally it was a very good experience for me to share my lifestory. moreso i really appreciate very much rino, tyrone and kit, jason for sharing their inspiring stories and lifelearnings. bilib talaga ako sa inyo mga padi! tsaka amazing talaga yung mga napagdaanan niyo sa buhay. wow! na-inspire talaga ako sa inyo and humbled.

meanwhile, mervs --hehehe still feeling a bit guilty dun sa "butag incident"- whole heartedly jumpstarted the batch86 fund by plunking down P2,500 as seed money. Junie will open a bank account para dito (junie yung medyo maraming branch na bank ang piliin mo ha para madali magdeposito tsaka bawas sa bank charges). and there was also a suggestion for regular personal contributions para lumago yung fund pero hindi nafinalize. tsaka pala we also brainstormed kung paano matulungan si peewee sa kanyang trabaho bilang pari. maybe during the next meetup, most probably sa olps homecoming sa october we can firm things up.

maaga umuwi sina cando (who brought along his wife and son) and tyrone (has to catch an early flight back to cebu- busy man talaga). kaming naiwan naman e napasarap sa kwentuhan. we split around 4 am.

here are some pix:
