SCHOOL UPDATE

2009-06-06T01:38:00.001-07:00

I think this concerns everyone. :)

Class opening is moved from June 8 to JUNE 15.

Recruitment period for the year: TBA.

Another academic year ahead

2009-05-13T19:39:00.000-07:00

Hello friends. It's been a while since we've updated the org blog. We'll make sure that starting this year, this blog will be updated once in a while.

How's your summer? As for me, I'm required to render 200 hours of work to a company and I technically have no rest; it's a 9-7 type of job (Kahit na hanggang 6 lang talaga kami. See I'm that workaholic). I'm extending my work until the end of May (Spell workaholic talaga... dahil mahal ko ang kumpanya kung saan ako nag-i-intern. Haha), so I only have a week to rest. Tapos giyera na naman ulit as I face the challenges of a college senior student. THESIS HERE I COME! XD

Anyway, we would like to inform you that we now have a new set of officers for AY 2009-2010... and they are: *drum roll*

CHAIRPERSON: Trixie Dawn Cabilan, Philippine Arts (Cultural Heritage)
VICE CHAIRPERSON: Charlie Anne Espiritu, Philippine Arts (Arts Management)
DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE CHAIR: Christine Joy Lendio , Philippine Arts (Arts Management)
PUBLICATIONS COMMITTEE CHAIR: Joanne Lara, Political Science
OUTREACH COMMITTEE CHAIR: Gilmeri Gem Mallorca, Philippine Arts (Cultural Heritage)

Would you believe that the only undergrad in this list is Joanne, and everyone else are college seniors? Haha. We will try our best though to train the other undergrad members para hindi mawala ang apoy ng pagmamahal sa Panitikan. LOL.

Wow, marami pala kaming gagawing upgrades/updates dito sa blog. :) Rest assured that we have tons of ideas na susubukan naming i-materialize.

If you have any questions, suggestion, comments, violent reactions, o mga pagkontra sa current list of officers, feel free to curse and talk. Send me a mail at trixiedawn@gmail.com or trixie_cabilan25@yahoo.com. NO FRIENDSTER/HI5/FACEBOOK/MYSPACE INVITATIONS PLEASE.

And I'd like to take this opportunity to shamelessly plug my sites, if you want to get to know me better (I'm friendly. I dont bite. My co-officers, on the other hand, do. LOL.):

There. Thank you very much to everyone (members, alumni, and YOU dear reader included), and the new batch of officers are so ready for this academic year.

Got dreams?

2008-09-14T06:40:00.000-07:00

Submissions for the first literary compilation of the UPP is now being accepted. With the theme: dreams (pangarap), we call on all members to submit poems, short stories, photographs, and other artworks to uppanitikan@yahoo.com or to any UPP officer.

The theme can be interpreted in different ways (negative/positive) as long as the pieces would come out to be profound, poignant and hopefully life changing. Think deep. Think extraordinary. Think PANITIKAN.

But don't go overboard as well. Literary pieces are limited to 200 words. Be brief, be concise. We're no longer in high school, this is college, no need for much drama.

So go on warriors, time to battle with your pens :)

deadline is on October 7.

p.s. please text me when's your last day of exams. 0918 2910430. and oh, please introduce yourself

Congratulations!

Sig sheets

2008-07-27T04:41:00.000-07:00

Hi applicants! Just a few reminders and updates:

1. Deadline for the sig sheets is on July 31, Thursday. You may give it to any UPP member which you would probably find in the tambayan :)

2. The tambay hours has been reduced to six from ten. Just make sure to have a member sign your sig sheet to certify your tambay hours. (don't worry, we'll make it a point to have someone there each time)

3. To identify the UPP members from mere CAS students, here is the color coding scheme for each day: (in true UPP fashion, figure out what these colors are from the poetry excerpts)

Monday:

I gaze at him with unmoving eyes

The pain I feel is much too deep to verbalize

I know not where this would lead

For my rage is much too great to not heed.

Tuesday:

At last I've reached my final; my end

I step into the light and out

a long, lush field I see.

"It's fresh up here, just like I thought it would be."

Wednesday:

On the bank of Nile I sat

Alone, and desolate.

I stare into oblivion,

Wondering why? Why can't it be?

Thursday:

I stare into my cup

feeling the cool wind on my cheeks.

"It's all going to be better now", I say

That's life! Things can change in a day.

4. Please be reminded to submit the other requirements (1x1 pic and form5) to any UPP member (preferably Ninin). We would also like to request those who submitted their form 5s and 1x1 pictures online to give a hard copy to us for filing purposes.

Haziel Natorilla

Danna Madura

Christine Tizon

Anne Katherine Solidum

Joanne Blanco

5. To those who don't have their sig sheets yet, please meet with Charlie tomorrow, preferably at 1pm onwards. Contact her: 09153259060
