Organizing Work Files, Flamenco, and Fiesta Filipina
This morning I awoke late, ran an errand for PAMS, organized my work files, and will have lunch with Mom and Dad, and go to the grocery store. Mid-afternoon Susan will pick me up for some flamenco fun, then this evening I will join Mom and Dad for Fiesta Filipina, a Canadian-based group which presents cultural music, singing, and dance as a benefit concert for the Philippine Nationality Room project.

University of the Philippines Madrigal Singers ("Madz")
Today was the event by the University of the Philippines Madrigal Singers. I arrived at 11am at Heinz Chapel to help out--the ushers were all at the student union building, which I found out when I went there.
The group was running late, so they went directly to Heinz Chapel. I worked the Will Call and directed people toward the correct locations.
~
The group was nothing short of masterful in their presentation and interpretation of sacred, secular, Philippine folk songs, and contemporary music. They have been designated as a UNESCO group, and have won various awards in Europe and around the globe.
~
I drove (courtesy of Bob H's directions) Enzo and Sherwin to their host's home. We all changed, and then went to Bob and Malou's place for dinner with Jacqueline and Chi Chi. Jacquie and Malou were to do laundry, and Bob let the boys into their host home. After exchanging contact information, hugs, and several photo ops, we departed for our respective places.

Valentino
This morning, I took a nap after doing laundry and chatting with Deb. She warned me of viewing the world of others through my eyes exclusively.
After a snack, Mom and I were shuttled to the documentary movie Valentino by Dad (at the Manor Theatre in Squirrel Hill). We did some shopping, I went to the bank, and all three of us went shopping in Mount Lebanon. A trip to Kentucky Fried Chicken was in order, and we got half a bucket of KFC Original, and the other half grilled chicken. It was delicious, with veggies and Klondike ice cream sandwiches after.
I retrieved a message from my friend, M, who stated Teody had given her tickets to be delivered to me. After Wednesday's PNR meeting (which I left Pastoral Council meeting early to attend), where the ticketing process was hashed out by Jun C., the process was made clear to us, and rehashed and sent out by Jun at the end of this week via email. I had contacted neither Jun nor (Tina nor Teody)---the ticket sellers' points of contact---about tickets. "I did not order tickets from Teody." It seems that Jun C. made the flow of ticket sales clear, but somewhere along the line someone had ordered tickets in my name without my knowledge.
There are three of us in my immediate family housing performers, selling tickets, and publicizing/marketing the event. There is no need to send me unsolicited tickets to sell. I feel bad that my friend M was stuck in the middle and has to deal with homeless tickets.
~~~
Turns out the tickets are for me to give to my mom for T. (O well, I guess I get to be the bearer of the tickets = "Mercury") Some kind of communication mix-up...

Spring Break 2009 II
Spent the morning going through old slides, catching up on correspondence, eating breakfast, and going to physical therapy. Stopped by on campus to get a little work done, and added my photo to my professional blog. Had a croque monsieur on half of a sun-dried tomato bagel, and green salad for lunch with mom and dad. What fun! Just watched a WQED special, Masters of Glass, about the Pittsburgh Glass Center.
~~~
After tuna noodle casserole and greens salad for dinner, I completed the necklace Dad and I started from the glass rosette/floral piece (which I bought with Karina). Dad helped me to get the jump rings onto the chain to attach the magnetic clasps, and I worked on the pendant.
We're watching Dancing with the Stars tonight.

Tuesday 10 March 2009
I sent my City Tax Form (2008) out today. After lunch, Marissa, William, Beatrice, Solomon, and I went to the Pittsburgh Toy Lending Library. Neither William nor I had been there before, and upon entering, Beatrice headed directly for the far end of the room and the castle. We played in the room with the balls and with various items there, including a car and gas pump. We also watched Beatrice paint in the art room, and she and I cleaned up together afterwards. Solomon and Marissa moved toys from the top floor of the doll house throughout the house, whilst William, Beatrice, and I had fun with the various hats (astronaut helmet, construction worker, etc.) We were certain to use the hand sanitizer on the way out. I thanked Beatrice for inviting me to join them today.
I found the talented picture of me "and a balloon" Beatrice drew for me. She is very observant and talented when it comes to faces. Maybe she will be like Lolo, whose high school classmates dubbed "the next Michelangelo."
I stopped by Lolo and Lola's place to share the picture with them, and have made earrings for the floating glass mirror necklace I made first. I will work on designing another necklace this afternoon.

Wednesday 12 March 2009
Yesterday evening I went to the PNR meeting---it was a small group that night. We spoke mainly about questions Maxine Bruhns had about design issues, and how we would address them. The meeting lasted about 2-3 hours.
Today, Karina and I dined with Maureen at Victor's restaurant. The buffet was great, then we walked to the public library for Karina to drop off some books. A stop in the bead shop was in order, and Karina repaired the clasp part of a bracelet I had purchased.
A nap followed, until choir practice.

Philippine Nationality Room Meeting
Today, V and I went to Whole Foods for lunch. Before dining, we checked out the lip balm and I found my favorite kind...now I know where to get it! I dined on jasmine white tea, unagi sushi wrapped in bamboo leaf, and half a chocolate croissant. V enjoyed a quesadilla. We stopped by the East Liberty Library branch to drop off items, then shopped at Trader Joe's.
I went to physical therapy then. It felt like a spa in the pool today---warm water, gentle exercises, mmm.
I headed back to get a quick bite to eat, then headed to the Austrian Nationality Room for our Philippine Nationality Room Committee meeting, as our future PNR classroom was occupied until approximately 19:15. We had from Popi, our Filipina architect: A photo collage, 2 perspective CAD drawings, and 8 elevation drawings. I noted---soon after starting our discussion in the future PNR---that "I was expecting a room that looked more like a classroom, but was pleasantly surprised that it looked more like a home. I like the general feeling of the room." Myrna noted that she liked the "simplicity of design."
Our discussion of design elements focused on various issues:
Dated elements
Socioeconomic status of the homeowners
Provenance of room fixtures
Light in the room
Use and functionality of the room, including heat and furniture sturdiness
"Spirit" of the design vs. staying v.v. close to elements of two houses examined for study.
It snowed quietly and collected while we were in the rooms for two hours, discussing and raising questions for Popi. Mark, Warren, and I discussed the element of the windows and balustrade and light and heating. I gently suggested a "hint of a wall" for a design tweaking of the breezeway element (versus the current renderings, which suggested walls which obscured more windows/light/heating elements), which solved several problems posed by several of us.
~~~
I caught a bus home, after waiting in the soft, cornstarch-like snowy quiet.

Philippine Nationality Room Open House/Cultural Display 2008
I was the chair for the future Philippine Nationality Room's Cultural Display this year. Dee Dee and her Young Filipino-Americans of Pittsburgh provided the dance performances at 12:30 and 3:30 this afternoon. Teody and her catering team provided the food component of the open house, and I headed up the cultural education/fundraising portion in the incipient Nationality Room Classroom.
Karina, Maureen, Mom, Tita Tina, and Alroy helped move items (some stored by Cristina L. and I within the Cathedral of Learning) and to decorate the room. Maureen and I made a quick run to Mom & Dad's c/o Tito Larry for a carved wood tea set, a capiz shell Christmas wreath, and an extension cord. Warren brought Tita Mila L., who went to help with the cookbook and holiday card sales.
I gave a short spiel on the room to groups of 5-20 visitors---about the geography, clothing, costumes, parols, clay pots, malongs, etc.
Many people stopped in: Freddie stopped by to say hello; K, a former student, and her family; William, Marissa, and family; Myrna (who took photos of our room and group) and family; Cristina's family; Ken D.; Alroy F.; Tom B. from pastoral council; and Chad from the Newman Center; two groups of Girl Scouts, one group from the Baldwin area.
Andy M. and Jo-Anne S. helped us to pack up and move various items to light storage and our car, waiting, below.
After pulling away from the Cathedral of Learning in the bitter cold, Mom and I outvoted Dad for hot food first---chili---then moving the items back into our homes.

"I'm on the road right now. And it's really slick."
About an hour ago I called Ornella from the road (to get supplies for the Philippine Nationality Room Open House) to tell her that the roads were slick. She said that she was on the road, too, and "it seems very dangerous...maybe we can do a potluck dinner another time..."
That leaves me with just: getting items together for tomorrow's open house, having dinner, going to the anticipated Mass with Mom, and grrrading!

FAAP Board Meeting
Mom, Dad, and I babysat Beatrice and Solomon yesterday afternoon while William and Marissa saw Sondheim's "Into the Woods" at Carnegie Mellon University. Solomon caught a nap at the end, and Beatrice enjoyed playing with the maracas, piano, keyboard, and bells.
Dad (a FAAP board member) and I (a special board member) attended the FAAP board meeting last night at Dr. Pat's home. We enjoyed appetizers, wine, and drinks. The meeting commenced at 7:15PM and ran until 11 PM. I reported near the end of the meeting on the upcoming Philippine Nationality Room Open House ("briefly," as insisted by Warren). Some of us stayed to chat into the wee hours of the night afterwards; it was a good,productive, congenial meeting.

Friday Spaghetti Dinner, Memorial Mass
Last night Karina and I dined with Jen, an MPH student at the Friday Spaghetti Dinner at the Newman Center. Fabiola joined us briefly, then left to help with the food delivery with Chad and Fr. Mike. Maureen joined us later and we went to Giant Eagle Market District (where I went in search of pickled herring!) and then to Starbucks near Maureen's home for a snack, enjoying people watching (especially the significant other of one of the counter workers), and the big band/50's crooner music.
~~~~~
This morning I called Alroy from the sacristy to remind him that today was the choir's memorial Mass for his Dad. I lectored, John served, and Fr. Breier celebrated the Mass. Alroy stopped by after the Mass to thank me---he was still at home when I called him...Kay will be here today, and so he will be cleaning his home. I reminded him of the Nationality Rooms Open House in December.

Philippine Nationality Room Fundraising; The Nightmare Before Christmas
This morning, after doing a load of laundry after Enzymes II week, I headed to Tita Tina and Tito Larry's for a meeting of the Philippine Nationality Room Fundraising committee. We had a great brainstorming session, and shared ideas over a potluck breakfast. I ran an errand after the meeting and returned in time to receive a phone call from Mom. She and Tita Tina chatted, and I chatted with her, too. Dad was resting at the time.
I stopped at the Mount Lebanon library to check out their collection development. I stopped at home to pick up some work papers, and then Tom and I headed to the Main Carnegie Library to collect a video (Amelie). We stopped at the video store in Bloomfield and picked up Nightmare Before Christmas, shopped at Giant Eagle for dinner fixings, and made certain to get some pumpkin cookies, too.
After a dinner of mixed green salad, beef stroganoff, broccoli crowns, and juices, I proceeded to play the movie Amelie. "Subtitles?" said Tom, "It's too much work to watch a movie like that," he exclaimed, thereby reminding me of his poor eyesight.
"Fine," I conceded, "we can watch your movie after I do a little work," He happily helped me with tabulating and plotting the data for two inhibitor groups from two of my lab sections last week.
We then had pumpkin cookies (being careful to keep them away from the doggie, Midnight), and watched the movie Nightmare before Christmas.
I like his doggie, who seemed to take after me, leaning against me and resting his head on me, all for attention.

PNR and FAAP Board Meeting with Popi Laudico
Saturday night, Popi Laudico, the Philippine Nationality Room's Filipina architect, dined with the Philippine Nationality Room committe and FAAP board members potluck-style at Dr. Pat's home. The big steamed salmon and bangus with a large turkey dinner were provided. Someone had provided the sweeeeeet corn.
I had a chance to lobby to keep the windows of our future room potentially uncoverable so that students in the room could also view their friends in the courtyard below, as indicated in the poem I wrote about the room. Popi agreed with me, citing the social nature of Filipinos. Popi and I discussed my operation, and her dog, over dinner.
After dinner the group gathered in the living room to hear Warren introduce Popi in front of the architectural boards, which had morphed over dinner from Warren's preparations to Popi's photo montages of several bahay na bato homes around the Philippines. One home featured was from Mom's hometown. Popi presented the boards, then led a discussion about the future PNR room and our designs and desires for this incipient room.
After dessert, Dad played ping pong with Warren and his children.

376 West adventures...
This morning I recorded my grades, prepped for lab this week, sent my students a mass email, and went to choir practice for noon Mass.
This afternoon, after noon Mass, my parents and I drove to Monroeville for Chinese buffet. Dad had left the lights on, and I called AAA for a jump start. We then braved Rodi Road and Penn Avenue to get home, as the parkway inbound was bumper to bumper from about Churchill onwards...
I read my email, sent a newsletter update to FAAP for the Holiday Open House, and took a nap. I visited Tina and Joe W. to help them with their computer problems, and told them about campus computing.

Santo Tomas Singers
It's been a while since the Santo Tomas singers visited to sing a fundraiser at Point Park College, and to sing Thanksgiving Mass at St. Paul Cathedral. Being a multinational-award-winning choir, they sang for John Paul II and for Pavarotti. What a talented group!

Birthday Celebrations 2008
Yesterday, after morning Mass and a nice nap, I met Marissa, Beatrice, Les and Chere for an afternoon in Schenley Plaza. I had some snacks from the Asian Tea House, Les picked up a tape of Don Juan De Marco (another Johnny Depp movie recommended by Laurie) for me, and retrieved a number of other items from the library, too.
The evening included ceili dancing in the Strip District! Mary Louise wished me a happy birthday there. Vickie, Jen and Bri, Marie M (from C&L at the Newman Center), and Nancy (from choir) and Tom all turned out to celebrate. Mike had asked me a couple of times to dance; I said hello to Joyce (his wife) at the same time as declining for later dances in the evening. I was pleased to dance
Sweets of May
Waves of Tory
Keel Row
all favorite dances of mine, after dosing away on acetaminophen for the night. Marissa had lent me her videocam for the night, and Jen videographed moments from throughout the night. What fun!
~~~~~
Today were office hours, administrative matters with Carole and Mayte, handing off my completed project to Carole (from her request on Monday, in my last posting), then a nap, a visit with Les, Chere, and Beatrice (during which time Beatrice resisted sleep like a well-wound spring). Marissa was induced to labor this evening. The evening was started with a visit to the Greentree Inn, for a PNR meeting, replete with RFPs, emails, Props, reports of the trip to the Philippines by various members, and a slick slide show of the Philippines visit by Warren. The evening was topped off by the presence of Tito Andy and Tita Fely, who spearheaded the PNR project with seed money back in the day.
I am back at M&Ds waiting for the time to depart for the airport to retrieve them from their voyages to Jerusalem/the Holy Land.

Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra--Barber, Corigliano, Mussorgsky (as orch. by Ravel); Joshua Bell
Tonight after the FAAP board meeting I took a nap. Nancy, Anjali, and I took Nancy's "limo" (replete with Handel's "Water Music") to Christos for dinner, where we had the lamb in phyllo with salad, rice pilaf, and grilled winter veggies. We all had the Jackie O dessert with tea and coffee for the postlude.
After dining, we went to Heinz Hall for the Josh Bell PSO concert. The whole evening consisted of highly dramatic pieces:
Samuel Barber's Second Essay for Orchestra, Op. 17
John Corigliano's "Red Violin" Concert (Concerto for Violin and Orchestra) w/ Josh Bell
An intermission, during which Mr. Bell and Mr. Corigliano autographed CDs and programs
Mussorgsky's (Orch. by Ravel, Ed. by Slatkin) Pictures at an Exhibition
The "Red Violin" Concert really needs to be heard to be fully appreciated. John Corigliano spoke about the history of the piece before its performance. The music is amazing, the performance of it tonight was nothing short of magnificent. Josh made one realize that the violin has a voice--it truly came to life during the performance of the music. During the first movement, Josh played so vigorously that, at breaks in the soloist parts, he was pulling frayed catgut from his bow and strings several times.
At intermission Nancy, Anjali, and I waited patiently in line to speak with and have Josh and John sign our CDs. I took photos of our short visits with them.
Pictures at an Exhibition as orchestrated by Ravel has been a favorite of mine since my senior year in high school. What a treat to return from intermission to hear the themes played by the PSO.
The conducting by Mr. Slatkin during the evening was tight, and showcased the three pieces marvelously.
We all had been thrilled by the prospect of this evening, and now our brains were humming along as we parted ways less than twelve hours from when we would see each other next.

Winter Vacation Days 2007-2008
Yesterday I bought tickets to the Cathedral of Learning Holiday tours after lectoring at Mass (celebrated by Fr. Brian, served by John, and music ministry by Don). The tickets were for the last tour of the day, at 2:30. We all had breakfast, and then went to the Waterfront for shopping. After a quick bite to eat, Uncle Sonny and I attended the tour led by Michael of the first floor of Cathedral of Learning classrooms decorated for the holiday season. The tour went smoothly and was very informative. We visited the future Philippine Nationality Room, and I read my poem for him. We walked home and stopped by St. Paul Cathedral on the way back. Dinner was delicious, delivered by Dee Dee: Pancit luglug at pandan Jello and everything else mom has been cooking for the past half week. We watched Jeopardy; William and Beatrice arrived with presents, which we all opened; and then we finished our game of Celebrity after. We played "karaoke roulette," Kelly, Unka Sahnee, and I; well until midnight.
The "Green Tree" had disrobed sometime between the last time I had viewed it and yesterday.
~~~
Today I went for my yearly check-up at the doctor's office. Upon returning, we all enjoyed lunch together. Then Dad, Unka Sahnee, and I went for a whirlwind tour of the city---the belen, a replica of the creche at Vatican City, ice skating at PPG place, and the lookout near one of the inclines (it was raining steadily by this time). We plan to go out to dinner this evening.
~~~
Sushi Kim was great. Unagi-don for dinner, with five side dishes. Then we returned to play with Beatrice at Lolo and Lola's place. Then, after their departure, Mom, Unka Sahnee, Kelly, and I played a Taboo-fest in which we went through one whole side of a pack of cards....

FAAP Induction Ball 2007; Sound of Music Oktoberfest
FAAP Induction Ball 2007: After Jo-Anne and I attended the three-course surf-and-turf dinner at the PPG Aquarium, and after hearing Warren and a speech from Gawad Kalinga, and after some dancing; we headed to Lisa and Ken's Sound of Music Oktoberfest party. I quickly morphed from a Filipina Marie Clara outfit into a song, "My Favorite Things." Stacey was taking Polaroid photos, thereby making instantaneous gratification possible. Betty won a prize for having seen Mary Martin on stage. Karen, Gabe, and Kevin were marionettes. Mary Pat was a CD of the musical, and Judi brought a rockin' pumpkin dip. We appreciated Liz's 3-D plastic art (with a sense of humor!)
On our way out the door, Linda (an alpine mountain with foothills removed due to talus formation) spoke about some of the exhibits at her work. On the way to the car, I spotted a shouting star, and Jo-Anne spotted one, too.
WHAT a fun evening!

Studying the Koran; VIBES
This morning I attended two events at St. Paul Cathedral. The first was the continuation in the workshop series of Studying the Koran led by Farooq, a friend and former coworker. It was quite interesting, filling the meeting room at Synod Hall. The nature of God, as viewed by the Islamic faith was introduced, and after a break a lively discussion ensued.
I then went to the VIBES meeting for RIS listeners and volunteers. Several suggestions and questions were discussed. I asked if there were a listserve for the listeners, as this exchange was useful; but not possible to have us meet as a group every month.
Tonight, Jo-Anne and I will go to two events tonight: The FAAP induction ball for Warren and the Board of Directors (including Dad), and Ken and Lisa's house party. I am dressing up for both.

Isang Mahal
Last Friday I attended a Philippine Nationality Room (PNR) fundraiser organized by the Pitt Filipino Students Association VP, Marissa Angeles. I had actually run into Marissa earlier that week in the hall at my work building; she was excitedly promoting the event (held at the School of Public Health auditorium) by word-of-mouth and also encouraging email missives. The fundraiser on the evening of the thirteenth was dubbed Isang Mahal, "one love, one culture, Filipino." Approximately 60 students, fellows, faculty, PNR committee members, and FAAP members attended the event. The program included:
Philippine Nationality Room (PNR) architect, Warren Bulseco, who spoke about the PNR project and who brought beautiful architectural renderings for the crowd to consider;
Marissa Angeles, who spoke for the Gabriela Network, the largest and oldest Philippine-US women's solidarity organization, which raises awareness of illegal trafficking of women and children;
Two members of Ill-literacy, from California who conducted performance poetry and spoken word that touched our hearts and souls;
Gawad Kalinga ("to give care"), a global campaign to build 700 000 homes in 7000 communities in seven years as a way to address poverty in the Philippines and the world...the organization addresses the whole community, not just the physical structure of the house...the organization sent representatives from New Jersey;
Student Action for Veterans' Equity, SAVE, an organization committed to full equity for Filipino WWII Veterans. Supporters were given brown ribbons to wear and were asked to contact their members of congress to support the bills currently in Congress, HR 760 and S 57. Equity has been supported for several years by Sen. Ed Kennedy (D-MA).
~~~If you support these bills and are registered to vote in Pennsylvania, call or write your Senator or member of Congress. Phone numbers for our Pennsylvania Senators are:
~~Bob Casey Toll Free: (866) 802-2833
~~Arlen Specter 412 644 3400
and, finally, the ambient Philadelphia-area rock group, Miss Vintage, who wowed us with their talent and blended, layered sound.
My friend Jo-Anne and I stayed after the event to chat with Marissa, with a couple of other FSA officers, with the poet/performers of Ill-literacy, with the reps from Gawad Kalinga, and with the band Miss Vintage. Stopping by Five Guys for a late-night snack, we later saw a couple of the guys from Miss Vintage at the neighborhood eatery.
