"Scaling the Heights of Professional Development"
October 22-24, 2008
Function Hall of the Regency Inn, Davao City.
I delivered a talk on "Meeting the Needs of a Complex Library and Information Community". Didn't get to tour the city much. |
The PAARL (Philippine Association of Academic and Research Librarians) National Summer Conference Fellowship Dinner in Palawan was Hawaiian Luau-themed. So they asked me to bring my poi. Of course I flub my entry into a fountain with a tangle. O_o;; Thanks to Des for the vid. 24-04-08_1919.3gp (3.7 MB)
| | Did some poi and fire-breathing, have to get the vid from Des. Lotsa games. Bunny and Ion of UP Main Lib, Tin and I got "drafted" for the Limbo Rock. I paired up with SLIS alumna Vivian Soriente of DLSU. She was my student in one of my MLS IT subjects many years back during my first teaching stint. For some unknown reason we were flexible enough to tie another pair for the win. O_o;; The years haven't been kind on our spines. Our backs still hurt. |

"Information Literacy and Life-long Learning Initiatives: Librarians in the Frontline'' by Ma'am Fe Angela Verzosa, "New Information Networks: Web 2.0, Library 2.0, and Librarians 2.0" by Robert Romero, and "Information Commons: Creating New Library Spaces, enhancing access to digital sources and deskless reference model'' by Ma'am Sonia Gementiza. Also a pic with Robert and with Ma'am Marietta Molina of CEU, she knows my mom and dad way back during their CEU days. |
| | We stayed at the conference site itself, the St. Ezekiel Moreno Spirituality and Development Center, run by the Recoletos sisters. Nice and cozy place. Aircon rooms, nice greens and flowers. Breathable air. :D (Remember that when you graduate and start picking seminars to attend). Took time to take pics of stuff... And... Yes... Some mix-ups occurred. Some boys were given odd numbered rooms, some girls were given even numbered rooms. My roomate Ion, Rye's boyfriend, and I were given room 111... As it turns out odd numbered rooms had pink stuff, even numbered rooms were blue. So we were assigned a PINK room! O_o;; Nanghihina kami... Pero okay lang. Since it's a Catholic place, strict time sked was observed... Prayers before meals, meditative silence, return your plates to the kitchen... A welcome change for me... Hi to Bunny of UP Main Lib, our mealmate. :D |
| | Just arrived from my trip to Puerto Princesa, Palawan with Des and Tin. We attended the Philippine Association of Academic and Research Librarians (PAARL) National Summer Conference on Finding the Library's Place in the 2.0 Environment. The conference was from April 23 to 25, but we got in a day early to take in the sights (see next albums). First pic is arrival. Had a very very bad headache due to lack of sleep since I had apprehensions for this, my first plane ride, so I only took a few pics. The others are for the trip home with Robert Romero, another UPSLIS Alum who was one of the speakers. The guy in the cap and green shirt is a line cutter. Stupid asshole. Makapal talaga ang mukha. Pinaparingan na nga naming lahat sa linya e sumingit talaga. The sky pics are above cloud photos through the PAL plane window when I was able to get a window seat on the way home. The popping of the ears every so often from 9,000 to 33,000 feet was more bearable on the way home. It was grueling the first time. |
