PPF Outing 2012 - Preliminary Sign-ups

[christen]

May 18-20 plox. Best timing dahil malamang sumweldo na ang lahat.

[sketch]

@edd: Nasanay kasi ako na medyo 2nd week-ish ang outing at hindi part ng third kaya late ko naisip ang dates ng May.


@excl: Yep, masaya talaga ang outing. Ito ang event na pinaghahandaan every year. Serious? Medyo. At least ako sobrang seryoso about events, lol. Gusto ko kasi mag-enjoy mga tao, then when I watch yung video, ako naman ang mag-eenjoy. XD

Pasensya sa inside jokes, talamak talaga yan. Kahit saan ka naman siguro pumunta, meron nun (malamang kahit kayo, meron). Pero kung gusto niyo ma-gets yung iba (like yung mga nasa video), try niyo ako tanungin, sasagutin ko naman kayo (yun ay kung alam ko rin yung inside joke XD).

Getting to know more PPF members? Well, di naman kailangan sa outing lang mangyari yun. Madalas, ang mga members may smaller circle of friends sa loob ng PPF. Kumbaga, you start making your own small circle, one friend at a time. Heck, kung dadayo kayo ng Mega on a Monday or Tuesday, text niyo ako.

Medyo nade-derail na ako kaya titigilan ko na muna dito. XD

Voted for Kuhala also. Gusto ko ang makita yung mga binago dun. Tsaka para hindi umulit muna sa CoS. Di ba?

Sa mga nao-OP pa, suggestion ko na makisali sa mga importanteng bagay tulad ng pag-tulong sa chores. I think magandang panimula yun ng pagpapakilala ng sarili at pakikipag-bonding kasi parepareho kayong may ginagawang importante. Building trust and camaraderie ba. XDD

[Miffster]

^Yep, I think that's the best way to start getting to know other people.

In terms of renovation naman, di ganung kalaki yung pinagbago ng Kuhala Bay, it still looks like the same resort we've been to before. Actually, tinanong namin sila kung me plans for renovating the pool area, meron naman daw, pero di pa sa ngayun.

Also, since kung matutuloy tayu sa comeback tour, we're looking into the multiple suites option, so practically useless na din satin yung renovated bathrooms sa dorms dahil ibang building yun. Yung Wi-Fi, dadayuhin natin sya dun sa main building.

I'M JUST SAIYAN

[TerryBogard]

I miss the jacuzzi. Sorry, gusto ko nilalaga ang aking mga taba sa kunwaring kumukulong tubig.

So Kuhala for me.

anyway, nasabi na lahat ng kailangan sabihin. Pitch in lang ako siguro kasi medyo iba ang pananaw ko sa mga bawal mag laptop and stuff like that. I'm all for everyone joining the activities sa outing, pero lets not force them to do so by prohibiting bringing things they enjoy to do. In the first place, hindi naman sasama yang mga yan kung ayaw nila e. So I think we should just let them bring what they want. All we can do is invite them sa activities, kung ayaw, wag. They want to spend all day in the room playing handhelds/laptop or whatnot, then go ahead. Masaya sila dun e, so hayaan natin sila. Wag lang nila sasabihin na na-o-OP sila dahil sila ang may kagagawan nun. Ayoko lang mangyari na marami ang hindi pumunta kasi bawal magdala ng ganito, bawal ganito, kailangan ko sumali sa ganito pero ayoko, etc. etc. Anyway, opinyon ko lang naman.

[sindapa]

^ agreed. Imbitasyon na lang wag na limitasyon.

Tingin ko, hindi na rin kinakailangan magpakahirap din para gumawa ng schedule para sa activities. Gusto rin naman namin na makakapag-enjoy din ang mods ng wala masyadong inaalala. (hirap na nga alalahanin yung pagkain pa lang e.) Basta lang may oras at area na pwedeng magkakasama yung mga tao, ayos na yun. Tipong may nagbabaraha dito, may kumakanta dun, etc. Madaling makisali, madaling makisaya. Sa napansin ko wala namang nangiisnab sa PPF e.

[Paul Demonlord]

Kahit malakas mang-bash ang mga ibang members ng PPF sa kapwa nila, lahat yan approachable. Parte na rin ng pagsali sa forums, ang makilala ang mga taong katulad mo. Kaya take the next step on gaining some acquaintances.

Kaya rin merong PPF parties eh, isa na yan sa mga steps para makilala mo ang mga ka-members mo ng personal. Para pagdating ng outing, meron kang makakausap at makakatabi sa pagtulog~

Also, agree ako sa suggestion ni sindapa.

[Miffster]

^Good points.

Sa totoo lang, hindi naman talaga maganda yung sobrang higpit, lalo na sa limitations with regard to things like laptops and video games. Wala naman talaga kami balak magpatupad ng mga pagbabawal lalo na sa laptops. Yung sa consoles, gusto ko nga sana meron uli, kasi dati nang naging parte ng PPF Outings yung PPF Fighting Game Tournaments.

Mahirap lang kasi dun sa console games, me tendency yung ibang tao na mag-shack na lang all the time infront of the console. Same thing with laptops. I'm not saying na masama yun, and most certainly, I'm not forcing anyone to join whatever activity or whatnot, pero ang nangyayari kasi, puro ganun lang sila. So I'm reiterating my point earlier: Ano ang saysay nung asa outing ka nga, wala naman ang diwa mo sa event?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but ALL PPF events are primarily supposed to encourage members to get to know and interact with each other, right? Ang EBs, PPF Parties, Movie Night-Outs and Foodtrips ay ginaganap para magkakilanlan ang mga tao na usually nag-uusap lang online through the forums. So what makes PPF Outings different?

Simple analogy nga eh, asa PPF Party ka, pero asa isang sulok ka lang, nagpi-PSP all day. What's the point na pumunta ka sa Party kung ganun lang ang balak mo gawin the whole time? Nagsayang ka lang ng pera. Makakapag-PSP ka naman kahit saan, kahit sa bahay, pero bakit ka pa nagpupunta dun?

Kaya nga ang gusto naming gawin, magkalinawan na bago pa magpasyang sumama. Yung interaction factor kasi ng events like the Outing, hindi lang sa pag-join sa activities eh, ine-encourage din namin ang lahat na mag-participate sa mga simpleng bagay tulad ng pagtulong sa paghahanda ng pagkain, paglilinis, pagtatawag sa mga members pag kainan na, etc. In reality, yung mga ganung kaliliit na bagay ang mas nagiging substantial interactive opportunities between members. Eh kung asa kwarto ka lang buong araw, nagla-laptop o natutulog, you're missing out on these little yet vital opportunities.

So yeah, kung kelangan nyo magdala ng laptop, ok lang, it's your right. What we're only asking is, sana hindi lang naman puro yun ang balak nyo gawin. Maki-join din kayo sa mga activities ng ibang members. Yun ang essence ng PPF Events eh.

At least that's what I think.

Same sentiments @ Miffster

Kaya ko prinopose yung no consoles last outing kasi pwede naman yun gawin sa PPF Parties na nangyayari at least 4-5 times a year. Ang outing, once a year lang at ito lang yung event na overnight kaya mas maraming bonding time. Kung magkukulong ka lang sa kwarto at dun ka lang sa sarili mong mundo, sayang pa yung pera na ginastos mo.

[TerryBogard]

Wala namang problema sa akin yan. At base sa last year na outing, I think wala namang may problema sa no consoles. So let's just implement the same this year. (Kulit ko no? Di naman ako nagdadala ng laptop. LOL.)

BTW not sure kung na mention na: pero 1 pro sa COS is that the whole building is ours, so mas pwede tayo mag ingay. I think when we get the 3 seperate rooms sa kuhala, we need to limit the noise (lalo na sa gabi) especially kung may nangupahan sa katabi nating kwarto.

Kuhala pa rin ako!!!

Guys, let's keep things positive dito, ayt?

Anyway, just got back from the Mod Meeting and decided na ang date ng outing. May 18, 19, & 20 ang date for the PPF Outing, ito ay para sigurado na may pera pa ang mga sasama since kakatapos lang nito ang sweldo.

And we are NOT banning laptops sa outing, we merely want people to interact more at sulitin naman nila yung P1000+ na gagastusin nila. No need for long explanations. Di ba?

Now, we will be holding another meeting to discuss more on the outing pero hindi lang mods ang kasama dun. Kung may mga gusto pa kayong i-raise na concerns, paki-post na lang para mapag-usapan namin later, ayt?

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

[Miffster]

Sige, propose ako ng isang activity Ser

Tutal, nabanggit ko na yung PPF Fighting Game Tournament, I'm sure all PPF fight fans know that it's been more than 2 years since we last held a PPFFGT (the last one was back in 2009 if I remember correctly), and since I'm sure you all know that Melty Blood: Actress Again Current Code for PC is already out... ALAM NA.

Syempre, mag-organize pa din ako ng the usual Batsu Game... with a TWIST

[RCmiku]

Yosh... I have an 2000php budget for the outing

This is a new experience for me so this would fun I could join

But I have many problems If I'll join like this....
~I have 50-50 chances of joining because I still don't know if my mom will allow me. Well.. I can agree to that because I'm still a kid and don't know much outside Manila
~Just like in the PPF outing vids of Kuhala, the meeting point is at Star Mall Ortigas right? I'm pretty sure I could go there then head to kuhala with you guys. I was thinking if how I can go home, do you guys usual go back to the meeting point of the 1st day?
~Team building stuff. I'm looking forward meeting and getting to know new people.

Anyways... Goodluck to us guys..

@RC: Glad to hear that you're interested sa outing.

- It's up to you para i-convince ang mom mo na payagan ka sumama. Minor ka pa rin at ayaw din namin na magkaproblema ka with your parents if ever. Basta, kung hindi ka nila payagan, may iba pa namang pagkakataon.

- Don't worry about traveling, sabay-sabay din ang buyahe pauwi. Sa McDonald's El Pueblo (sa likod ng Megamall) ang last stop ng lahat bago maghiwa-hiwalay ng daan pauwi.

If you have other concerns, post lang. XD

[Miffster]

@RCMiku: Just to clarify a few things for you:

1) Starmall is not in Ortigas, which is on the Pasig side of EDSA. It's technically located at what is commonly known as EDSA Crossing, or to be more specific, in Wack-Wack, Greenhills (yep, Greenhills is WAY LARGER than what you normally know), in Mandaluyong City, opposite the Shangri-la Plaza Mall.

2) We're not really doing anything at the outing that you can consider as "team-building" activities. We're just there to have fun and do things that we don't usually get to do during regular PPF events (like swimming or punishment games). As with all events, we expect people to interact with each other on a personal basis (within reason, of course) because that's what we don't get to do here in the forums as well.

Malinaw ha?
