Congratulations

With all the sad events of the past weeks, I would like to brighten our spirits a bit by sharing some good news.

I would like to share with all the brus, specially those who know him well, his good friends, batchmates, kumpadres, mga kabarkada, etc.

Bru and former espraken Dondi Stuart, Philadelphia, USA, graduated recently with highest honors. With many academic and clinical awards. He was also guaranteed a job at one of the hospitals that he studied at in Philly. Congrats bru Dondi!!! Galing mo bru!

Kung dati dito eh lagi tayong mga lasheng at may hangover, dyan pala ay sa pag-aaral ka na hahangover. Meron papalang mga brain cells na natira sa iyo brad. Buti naman at hindi natunaw lahat sa dami ng alcohol na inubos natin nung araw!!!

MABUHAY ANG ESPALEKLEK!!!

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all Dads out there and all your Dads as well!

Get an espaleklek.org Account

If you are a UPLB espaleklek member, then you are eligible to get an espaleklek.org account! How to get one? Login to the espaleklekonline yahoo groups database entitled "Sign up for espaleklek.org" and put in your details.

As you can see, we're using the existing infrastructure to verify espaleklek members. It's easier that way to identify valid members. So, if you're not yet a member of the espaleklekonline yahoo group, sign up there now.

What's an espaleklek.org Account for?

So, what do you get with an espaleklek.org account, you say? Well, basically, it's Google Apps for the espaleklek.org domain. It is a way for us to proclaim (and maintain) our online identities as espaleklek!

First of all, you get an @espaleklek.org email address you can use for all your personal and official online correspondence. Ok, maybe not for business use, but hey, it's your email and you can write what you want to. Now you can get rid of those boring yahoo accounts. Now this is what I call email! Plus, you get all the GMail goodness. You don't even have to login on your browser to check your email -- you can configure your account for POP3 access on your desktop client.

If that's not cool enough for you, check out the other Google Apps:
Calendar - organize your online life. Also, we can publish and share all our espa-related events and activities. Or even your personal ones. With the email integration and SMS reminders, hard to find a better online calendar.

Chat - if email's too slow for you, use instant messaging! Your espaleklek.org account can be used for signing in to Google Talk. You can download the desktop client, or chat inside the espaleklek.org web mail interface.

Get your espaleklek.org account now!

O Glory Glory Hail... espaleklek.org!

Mabuhay ang espaleklek!

Well, in this case. Nabuhay ang espaleklek.org! Finally, after years of waiting for the espaleklek.org domain name to be released by its previous owner (beats me why anybody besides an espaleklek member would want this domain name).

Now you can go to espaleklek.org to read up on the latest espaleklek news and activities. More to come...

Welcome to espaleklek.org!
