Hi, everyone. We all know that there have been new members joining us in the past few months. We, the officers, decided that it is time that we organize another meet-and-greet session.
The date will be this Saturday, November 28, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. We have specifically chosen this hour so that those that will be working can be available and will be able to join, especially the new members of the club. We hope the current ones can also have the time to join us as well.
The meeting will be somewhere in the Jones area since there are Nihonggo classes before that. If you can arrive before 7:00 pm do drop by at Club Ultima, Crown Regency Tower 2, at the 18th or 19th floor. To those that can't make it before 7:00, feel free to drop an SMS at 09234503052. Just make sure to identify yourself.
Agenda will include getting to know the new members, so that they can have an idea whose face belongs to which username. There might also be discussion about the J-music Festival but the focus will be in knowing the new members.
Note: This post was posted in Istorya.net three weeks ago. However, I (Seishi) had been too busy to paste this here since I had other things to do. Apologies if this seems like short notice but actually this had been announced three weeks ago. Still, we do hope you guys can come.
Thanks.
Ijou.

Announcements on the J-music Festival
It is unfortunate that we, the organizers, have decided to indefinitely postpone the J-music Festival. This is because of certain circumstances that have made the earlier mentioned date impossible to meet even though we have been planning for several months now.
The planning had been good up until we got stalled because of the earlier selected venue. Up until now there have been no feedback despite continued follow ups by us, the organizers, thus forcing us to look for alternate venues. We have received word that a faculty member in USC-TC is interested in negotiating the venue for us, however, we still have no feedback considering that they are currently busy and, worse, the person who has the authority to let use the CAFA grounds is difficult to reach.
We recognize now that, though it is possible to gain permission to use the venue, the time needed to make the preparations like advertising, setting the place up, planning the programme is simply not enough. We could push it through this month if we are willing to risk a messy organization of the event, which we are not. You deserve the best event that you can get.
As for the new date, we are considering a lot of options and seeing how we can possibly fit in because of the many anime-related events that are coming. We don't want to make the postponement too long as interest might wane, but we also have to be realistic about it regarding the placing of the date in relation to the other events.
Personal inquiries are welcome. Please contact me at seishi17 if you have questions, or even suggestions. We will be launching a poll soon to see what dates are feasible for the event. Thank you and good day.

Official DicCIOnary Part 1
Just lately, the members of CIO-AMAGE (Cebu Integrated Organization of Anime, Manga and Games Enthusiasts) have realized that CIO has such a lot of usage in our lingo. Due to that, Gem-sensei approached me and asked me to post a dicCIOnary for words in the lingo of our organization.
Please note that CIO is pronounced SHO.
For those wanting to learn the CIO-AMAGE vocabulary, I am compiling a dicCIOnary for the organization.
iCIO
Origin: Seishi
Definition:
Stories about members that warrant attention and discussion from the members. This could also refer to periodic publications on the activities of the organization. It is also a declaration of the start of any CIO-AMAGE activity.
Examples:
Two members are a hot item; they are discussed as an iCIO by the members
Pictures of the fine dining activity in October 10 as labeled as October 10, 2009 iCIO. Similar to magazines and comic books.
iCIO time! (It's show time!)
Show CIOpport
Origin: Gem-sensei
Definition:
As part of the organization's goals, we are to show support to the many activities and events relating to our scope.
Examples:
CIO-AMAGE lent CIOpport to CCC's cosmeets for this year and for LU's Hobcon.
DicCIOnary
Origin: Gem-sensei
Description:
A compilation of words used in the CIO-AMAGE lingo.
Non-CIObiz
Origin: Seishi
Description:
This is a term used to describe people outside of CIO-AMAGE but still gets entangled in iCIO's.
Examples:
Shuurei has a new guy she has the hots on; but he's non-CIObiz.
These are the first three terms that we have come up with. This vocabulary will surely grow in time as long as we find opportunities to use the word CIO. Hahaha.
No CIOw
Origin: Jane
Description:
Indianero. Does not show up during meetings either as a group or private, non-CIO activities.
MiCIOn-ViCIOn
Origin: Jane
Description:
The goals of CIO-AMAGE.
Please note that CIO is pronounced SHO.

Japanese Fine Dining: A Success!
On behalf of Gem-sensei, I would like to acknowledge and thank everyone for contributing to a highly successfully Japanese fine dining event. This is CIO-AMAGE's first event ever, and without you guys there would be no success! Thank you again! ^___^
Here are some pictures of the gathering. All of them were taken by Seishi, except the group pic with the banner which was taken by P-chan. Links to other albums will be posted on this blog entry as soon as they arrive.






Ijou!
