June 22:
Six degrees in U.P.

Hey I got to meet Astrid yesterday. How? Arn and I had a meeting in U.P. with Luis K. It turns out that he and Astrid, whose blog I discovered months ago via Jessel's, are buddies and they were hanging out in an FC office when we arrived so, as Luis said, it became an impromptu mini-eb*. What a small, small world (yet again!).

*e.b. stands for 'eye-ball', a.k.a. meeting in person. Small groups of 3-4 (or one-on-one, like Shiloah and I have been planning for the longest time) are always best for first-time meetings.

Recognize this guy? (The image was swiped from Philmusic).

There's something about U.P. that forges an unexplainable connection between iskos. Yup, it's not by coincidence that my reading list* consists mostly of U.P. alumni/students.(: It feels good knowing that I won't be alone in getting senti over hearing the words isaw, blue book, CASAA, or Romeo Lee.

Can you name more exclusive-to-U.P. terms?

* with the exception of Atenistas Ramon and Neva who are dear, longtime friends, Don Bosco-ite Luis P, and Povedan kolehiyala Meg, among others.

Newly-bookmarked notables --

Fun with words: Lonely Tylenol. See, it reads the same forward and backwards. And most of the entry titles are palindromes, too. Ingenious!

Artsy: Ibalik. He can cook, do the laundry, wash dishes, take very nice photos and design pretty websites.

Celebrity web designer: Ivonne. She co-authored a book on Dreamweaver X and is helping me learn some CSS tricks via e-mail, all because of a comment I left at OnClick. What a nice woman.
