On Socola's GA and SW

Last October 28-29, 2008, I attended the 22nd General Assembly and Seminar-Workshop of SOCOLA (SOCSKSARGEN Librarians Association, Inc.) held at Notre Dame of Marbel University. It was a two-day affair with four topics discussed by invited speakers from Davao, Manila, Marbel and GenSan. However, I was only able to hear two of the topics as I was tasked to accompany one of our speakers, who was from Manila. We were roommates in the hotel and we sort of have this “FC” (feeling close) effect. Imagine, we only met that day, but we hit it off right away. In the hotel, we talked and talked as if we’ve known each other for a long time, until we both were very, very sleepy. I enjoyed her company, as she has a very open and very down-to-earth personality. And I was surprised at myself on finding out that I can also be open even to a perfect stranger. Well, It was a nice experience all in all.
