I saw Joe's email  inviting us to his open house. I immediately switched to his channel on ustream.tv. I captured some of the footages which are posted here.

While viewing his live broadcast I also typed in some comments to which he had some replies. You can read the running commentary in the log, below

I also texted our Manila-based classmates but it seems they are out of their homes, except Felix who texted back hours laters to say that he woke up at noon.

Unfortunately I failed to capture the images of the menu for their dinner:  bicol express, laing sa gata, tsaka ginataang gulay at hipon. I had thought I had the images captured. Eh, hindi pala. Sarap pa naman tingnan.

Internet TV tells us that next time we have a kapihan at Trinoma or elsewhere we can have it on internet TV so our classmates in faraway lands can join us enjoy the kapihan.

Fe, Rudy, Emma, Nelson, Alan, Pio and every ol: When will you have your open house too via internet TV?
