Thanks for everyone who showed up and those who cooked. Good times. I hope everyone had fun, because that is just the beginning. =)

Anywho, the first culture show practive is Tuesday, Sept 27 from 9:30 to 11:30 in the Great Hall (in Levering). We will be doing Singkil as our traditional dance, and Tinikling as usual with "Bebot" by Black Eyed Peas as our jam. For the singkil, I will need two girls and two guys to volunteer. If no one volunteers, I'll be picking. So please volunteer. Email me at rachellepinlac@yahoo.com if you want to be part of singkil. Alrighty, hope to see everyone on tuesday.
