ATTN:2008 FILDAC Mid-Year GET-TOGETHER!

[jao]

I was wondering if you guys would like to have a mid-year get-together? Our moderator Darwin has already offered his place in Timog-Tomas Morato Circle. The address is #68 Timog Avenue corner Tomas Morato 5th Floor CTTM Square. You can't miss this as it's the new building with lots of commercial establishments. Darwin is also throwing in a model for raffle. I will also throw one in for raffle. Any suggections for the date of the event? We'd prefer it to be in mid August so that we can prepare better for the said event. If you want to bring along your models,please do so. We won't force you to donate them for raffle unless you really wanted to. Hehe. You can also bring any aviation stuffs or pictures of your collection as well as airport models or even models on construction. We can share ideas and views on the said event. Please post you preferred date here. We would like to know how many can attend. I was thinking of an August 16 or August 23 date.

August 16... exactly my birthday! Haha, but I still have to check if my calendar allows me. That period is fine with me but let's see first what the others think. After all, it's been ages ago since we last huddled together in one place.

I think I have to drain out my resources, haha! Sama ka na, Pao!

JM's Birthday Bash pala........I think JM will prepare a pabitin full of die-cast airplanes for us. Hehehe. JK. Paolo you can join us also if you want....the more the merrier. So guys any suggestions for the said event? Darwin actually told me he can lend us a projector if anyone has a slideshow to present. Maybe you guys would like to bring pictures of your model collection? If we muster enough numbers perhaps we can solidify the group and organize a better club.

Calling the FILDAC supremes...

I think we should post another reminder in the flight simmers' den if possible.

[hikouki]

meron daw hindi maka-reply dito kasi ang tagal na nilang hindi nakukuha yung confirmation email from this site since they signed up weeks ago.

and the search function has some bugs too.

can we get things cleaned up or fixed?

[jao]

I think we need to ask help from PFSG....sabit lang kasi yung FILDAC dito. I do not know who is in charge in approving memberships. I remember before kasi may mga nggulo sa site and nagspread ng spams sa email kaya siguro nagstrict sila konti about the registrations.

[hikouki]

perhaps we should now consider getting our 'own' site...perhaps we can get one of those blogs. may bayad ba ang VBulletin?

para hindi na tayo iskwater sa PFSG. (good thing i changed my email...i never got affected by that spam thing.)

[jao]

That wouldn't be a very good idea Allan. Actually, nakakahiya nga sa PFSG kasi we are not contributing for the maintenance of the site yet they allow us to be part of it. I am very very grateful to the PFSG for allowing us to join them here. As you have previously mentioned inaamag yung forum ng FILDAC.....since hindi pa solid yung group ganyan nangyayari. Limited kasi members so wala masyadong traffic. If we will put up our own forum then lalo lang magkakagulo in my opinion kasi possible na mawalan ng traffic pati yung maintenance nung forum eh amagin. I think for now what's important is to solidify the group....from then on we can talk about other plans in the future. Just my 2cents worth.

[hikouki]

Sorry if I did not reply sooner. But I was able to chat with JM in YM two days ago.

I would love to attend, but I still have to check what my work schedule will be this August. I think the last get-together I attended was the FILDAC Christmas Party in Jao's place back in December 2004 (videoke! hehe), so I am eager to see you guys again.

Will always check this thread for updates.

[hikouki]

hi guys! for those of you not reading wings900...i wrote to PAL a while back to suggest they offer more 1/500 diecast planes. they told me they are already looking for suppliers for the a330, etc...

anyway, i hope that we can brainstorm on our get-together and together form a list of suggestions to PAL about their inflight items. they only have that 747+A340 set. i mean look at CX, SQ, etc - they have heritage planes and other special items...

suggestion ko lang. and i feel if we make the letter together, they will really take it seriously.

[hikouki]

hi! someone was asking me how to get from makati to our meeting area at tomas morato? can someone please help with the directions?

thanks!

[N741PR]

Jao said they're setting on the 16th, 3pm onwards. I'll be coming and I'll donate a model so watch out. I'll see you guys! ^-^

I think the easiest way is to take EDSA going Monumento. Make a U-turn on EDSA when you reach Timog or Channel7 then go straight until you reach the circle where you'll find the statues of the boy scouts. There you will see a new building bulleted with billboards and commercial signages. That is our venue. It is right across the Imperial Hotel.
