Philippine American League

Sorrry for the lack of updates! I’m hoping I can just… make up for all the lost time over break. I’ll upload photos soon enough, maybe on a new flickr account for easier management.

What has happened since the last update? Karaoke, Pacquiao Fight Night, (he won, so hurrah ), Lumpia Workshop, and significantly, FIND, which was tons of fun, and if you missed it this semester, I encourage you to consider going to FIND next semester at Drexel!

Coming up… well, the calendar is lying, Secret Santa is next week, night of the last day of classes! Sorry. I didn’t realize the calendar was wrong.

Next semester, we’re once again putting on our annual Bayanihan cultural show, so keep a look out for that day in the spring! (Date TBA. I think.)

Unfortunately. So we’re not leaving this weekend, but we hope to make plans to go to Canada again, probably during the spring semester.

On another note, upcoming is PAL/FIA Karaoke night on the 14th! Hope you can make it then!

Firstly, Grafton Lake BBQ is this Saturday, to kick off the year! If you’re reading this, you should totally come.
Meet at the Horseshoe at noon for rides. Burgers, hot dogs, frisbee, volleyball!

We also have a GBM the following Monday.

But in case keeping track of dates is not your thing, our calendar is now up and running! It’s in the tabbed page in the navbar below the header.

Wanna stay updated on PAL news? Look over to the right; you can subscribe to this blog, follow us on Twitter, and/or join our Facebook group!

I highly recommend it. Especially the Facebook group!

Hey y’all, it’s September 5th and we’ve finished our first week of classes! (But not full, thanks hurricane Irene)

The site’s not quite up to date yet (our calendar is empty, heh), but it should be soon enough. Updated the E-Board page.

Hey, thanks everyone who came to tonight’s General Board Meeting! It was great to see new and old faces all around the room, hope you all had fun! Our next GBM is at 6pm Monday, September 19th, two weeks from now, so we hope to see you again!

yeahhh I missed a few fridays and its technically saturday right now… oh well!

week 2: AJ Rafael, “When We Say (Juicebox)”

So here’s AJ, filipino american youtube “star” with one of his original songs. I love the video for this, its adorable. You gotta watch it.

so I’ve decided to start a little segment about Filipino music, whether it be a song by a well known artist with Flip roots or a band actually based in the Philippines. gonna try and make this a weekly thing to the best of my ability!

week one: Up Dharma Down, “Taya”

I’m kind of in love with this band not gonna lie.. such good stuff. and just so you know, according to this Time article “it was also the first Filipino band to appear on MTV’s Advance Warning, a showcase of up-and-coming international artists that has featured the likes of the U.K.’s Bloc Party and Canada’s Arcade Fire.”

Check out the song please you won’t regret it! Neat light painting throughout the whole video too.

Thanks to everyone who came out for our lovely little dinner. A special thank you to those who brought or cooked the delicious food on that buffet table!

a day of fun in the sun with CASA. awesome bbq, weather and volleyball games – what more could you want?
