    1st TRUE-BLUE BOOKMOOCHERS PILIPINAS GET-TOGETHER ON NOVEMBER 15!

    Save Changes Cancel

    Yup, you read that right! This is the first get-together we'll be organizing as Bookmoochers Pilipinas.

    DATE: OCTOBER 31, 2008 (Friday), NOT November 15, 2008
    TIME: Starts at 5 pm
    PLACE: Libreria's residence in QC

    Our gracious host (who volunteered for the place, and even thought about this in the first place) says the venue can accommodate about twenty (20) people.

    It'll be in potluck format. There are suggestions for a party theme, games, and the requisite bookswapping (attendees must bring at least one book then for this). But much is still in the air, so to speak.

    So those who want and are sure to attend: Magpalista na kayo dito!

    Suggestions to spice up our party are welcome. Offers to help and what food and drinks to bring are surely welcome! (But please specify na how you'll help and what food and drinks to bring.) Post your good ideas na! :-)

    Note that this is on OCTOBER 31 NA, NOT NOVEMBER 15 (though we might have one more at this date) AND NOT OCTOBER 30 TOO.

    I'm putting up the list of those interested to attend here and I'll just update it as it goes (as of 2:00 pm, Friday, October 31):

    (0) Libreria (syemps!)
    (1) Joel G (naniniguro! hehe)
    (2) Patti
    (3) Sumthinblue
    (4) Czar
    (5) Marie
    (6) MayD
    (7) Fredda R;
    (8) Cecille (sure na!)
    (9) Ivan Girl
    (10) Miguel (IG's baby!)
    (11) Jem ("will try" status)
    (12) Jaymee
    (13) Shari

    That leaves around 7 slots pa. Magpalista na! Bookmoochers who are near Katipunan, sumama na kayo at napakalapit nyo lang!

    SEE YOU ALL LATER! :-)

    Many might be taking advantage of the extended vacation come October 31-Nov 1 for All Saints Day and All Souls Day to go to their relatives or visit the cemeteries early. Oct 31 is a Friday pa naman, di ba?

    But if a show of hands early on shows na there are enough available Bookmoochers on that date, we can always make the change. Do we take a vote then? :-)

      Kahit October 30 siguro? Halloween or mid-November is fine with me, or we could do both? HAHAHA We could always make it an excuse to exchange books or even plan how we can do a BM booth in the upcoming bazaars...

    Here's the summary update re this party:

    (1) The date for holding the party is OCTOBER 31 NA, FRIDAY

    (2) I'm just updating above the original list I made of those who've indicated they want to go. So far, we have ten (including the host)

    (3) See updates below re who has offered to help in the preps and to bring what kind of food and drinks.

    (4) Earlier on, Libreria also thought of discussing promoting Bookmooch in school activities and book bazaars (and probably even tiangges) that will be coming up specially as Christmas nears. So we'll add that as an agenda. Patti might bring a copy of the BM kit.

    O yan muna. Sound out na agad, pipol! :-)

      Question po on #4. How do we promote Bookmooch in bazaars &/or tiangges? I don't think opening a booth is going to be free. Can I suggest we open a booth for a little bit of book-selling na rin?

      Hi Marie, tama ang question mo. There is usually a fee, so we could think about how to recover the costs, maybe second-hand books plus other christmas goodies. Sana yung mga bazaar na maraming students or book readers para patok naman ang booth natin :-)

      I agree! Let's target the school and universities. I suggest UP Diliman on December, particularly the Lantern Parade weeks. There is usually a bazaar/tiangge thing around the Sunken Garden during that time.

    I already edited the similar announcement I made at the Bookmoochers Pilipinas group at the Bookmoochers network at Ning.com.

    Here's what the edited announcement there said (some points could be useful din kasi dito):

    PLACE: Triccie's residence in QC
    TIME: Starts at 5 pm
    DATE: October 31, FRIDAY
    THEME: Prep for a Nov 15 get-together/Halloween(?)
    FEATURES: Bookswapping, Book raffle, Blooey's Bookmooch journal, games, talk about displaying Bookmooch in book & other bazaars, food! (It's potluck a!)
    WHAT TO BRING: Yourself (attire to be decided pa), one book for swapping, food for potluck contribution
    WHAT TO DO:
    (1) Enlist here or at the corresponding discussion at the Bookmoochers Pilipinas group at Shelfari. Host says the venue can handle up to 30 people;
    (2) List here what food/refreshments you'll bring; and
    (3) Say here how you can help in the party preparations (sa party theme decor ba, sa games, sa car pool/s, etc.)

    Sound out na, fellow Pinoy Bookmoochers! :-)

    I'm okay with both dates, kaya lang Oct 30 is just two weeks away, and everyone a bit too busy to bother about the extra details of having a theme (unless somebody will pipe up to volunteer). I can volunteer to help organize things but we need to have concrete details on what activities to do, aside from chatting and eating.

    We can use the October 30 get-together to plan the November 15 party? And for the rest who won't be there with us, we can go online and chat with them while we party...

    Anything goes for now, I think, what's important is that we get as many to come on over on the 30th. Having baked macaroni and barbecue prepared if that is okay with everyone, so the others who are bringing food can add to that na lang.

    What about drinks? Have red and white wine ready... of course the younger ones might want something stronger? oo na, mature na kung mature hahaha

    SEE YOU ALL on OCTOBER 30, THURSDAY, 5PM UP.

    My address is 1 Magsaysay Street, Xavierville 3, Quezon City.
    Please let us know if you are coming so we can prepare accordingly.

    The 31st is an official (calendared) holiday.
    The 30th isn't a holiday for me. Have work pa on that day.

    What can I bring? Will be there around 7-ish pa.

    Ay, can I do the sodas na lang? yoko na mag-isip.

    what do you guys prefer? generic coke? coke light? coke zero?

    or bottled juice din, like tropicana?

      Jem, here's instructions on how to get to the party venue:

      (1) From Pasig, take transpo to go to the intersection of EDSA and Shaw Blvd

      (2) Go up the MRT. Get a ticket for Cubao. Take the train going to North Avenue. That's the one passing by Cubao.

      (3) Get off the Cubao station. Then take the somewhat extended walk to the other train, the Megatren. You'll pass by Farmers Plaza, then an open skywalk beside Araneta Coliseum, then into Gateway Mall. You can ask the guard at the entrance of Farmers Plaza (from the MRT Cubao station) for detailed instructions. (Take the higher floor entrance, kasi dere-deretso lang ang lakad mula dun.)

      (4) The Megatren is outside the 3rd floor exit on the other side of Gateway Mall. Just ask the guard din at the entrance of Gateway Mall on how to get there.

      (5) At the Megatren, get a ticket for Katipunan. Take the train going to Santolan. Yun ang dadaan sa Katipunan station.

      (6) At the Katipunan station, exit via the turnstiles TO THE RIGHT of the escalator/stairs, NOT THE ONES ON THE LEFT. Importante ito a.

      (7) Paglabas mo, just walk straight ahead. Then turn left at the next intersection, which is the intersection of Katipunan Road and Aurora Boulevard.

      (8) As you turn left, kita mo na agad yung mga tricycles na naka-istasyon malapit sa kanto. Get into one, and say that you're going to Xavierville Subd. (I'll post the exact address later.)

      (9) Nakarating ka na!

      Just text me at 0917-9792365 kung may hindi pa malinaw sa instructions ko, Jem. :-)

      Hi Joel! Thanks for the detailed directions! Alam ko na how to go there! Super haba and layo ng iikutin ko if sasakay pa ko ng Shaw Blvd / Edsa jeepney and proceed to Cubao pa. I can actually go straight to LRT2 and ride to Katipunan. Or just cross the overpass at Ligaya and ride a Cubao jeepney. Wait, if you say exit via the turnstiles to the right, if I'm coming from the other side, (Santolan station) , where exactly am I going to exit? Yung sa kahilera ng St. Bridget school (tama ba?) or yung sa other school (yung college? Sorry forgot the name). Been there only once. :)

      If you're taking the Megatren from the other side (from the Santolan station), you exit at the turnstiles NEAREST the stairs/escalator going up, Jem.

      Then just follow steps 8 and 9 above. Czar gave the address na below.

    Jem, di ba you're near Sta. Lucia lang? Just take a jeep / fx going to Cubao from Imelda Ave going to Marcos Hway, and go down at Petron Katipunan. Then follow 8 and 9 of joelg's instructions. The tricycles are beside a Mini-Stop convenience store.

    To reiterate Libreria's address: 1 Magsaysay Street, Xavierville 3, Quezon City.

    Or, if you want, I can meet you (i'm from the other side of marcos hway) at McDonald's Marcos hway, and we can go together, but I have errands kasi eh, so I'm not sure what time I'll be available. What time do you plan to go?

      Thanks! I think I know the Mini-Stop convenience store, may have been near that already. If ever, I will go at around 4pm , so I may be at Marcos highway at around 4.30pm .

    Pipol, bitin pa ang bilang natin! Kaya magpalista na!

    Again, those near Katipunan, yung may anak na pinapaaral dyan, yung mga nag-aaral o nagtatrabaho sa vicinity, at laluna yung nakatira malapit dyan, pumunta naman, magparamdam naman dyan!

    Kahit newbie Bookmoochers pa kayo. O kahit prospective Bookmoochers pa! (Scraping the bottom na ba? :-) ) Wag nang mahiya at itaas na ang kamay, please! :-)

      Blooey, I'll be coming from Makati too. I still have to go to work though and I'm a bit concerned that they still haven't declared it as half-day.

      i'm going to work early... later so i can leave the office 4 - 4.30pm. but if sabay sabay tayo, we can leave makati by 5... kaso late tayo ng one hour sa get together. we can take a cab--or mas mabilis if MRT?

      Hi Patti, we didn't formalize the arrangements on that so baka next get-together nalang. Still have some books we could use as prizes hehehe

      Libreria, Patti, it's long been posted in the above announcements that there's a bookswapping so everyone should bring a book for that. It's become a staple activity sa Flippers sessions so I'm sure many of those who'll come--all of us are Flippers naman--will find it natural to bring a book for swapping.

      Libreria, I gather the swapping is different from the book raffle you offered to do a. :-)

    Hey Blooey (and everyone else I or QCPL mooched from who are going to the party):

    You can bring the book QCPL mooched from you tomorrow. Para you don't have to spend on shipping!

      Ivan Girl, your number here is one digit too long.

      I just texted you (dun sa number you gave at the book fair) that we can meet in Cubao. Just text me at 0917-9792365.

      At any rate, just tell the driver you're going to Xavierville, near Katipunan and Ateneo. Most taxi drivers know the area. Just in case, take note of Triccie's number at one of the posts here.

      I'm bringing the two books Dex mooched from me a.

      See you later! :-)

      Awesome party! I had so much fun. Great game, Marie and Cecille! Jeopardy ulit sa 15th! Thank you, Triccie for hosting the first get-together. I looooove your book-filled home! Just like czar, I want to live there, too!

      It's great to to finally put faces to names. I hope more people come on the 15th. Joel is right, those who didn't come missed a LOT! :)

      Rise, pumunta ka na sa 15th kahit di tuloy yung conference!

      Let me know when the pics are uploaded!
