HELLO ALL!

Sincere apologies for the lack of updates halfway through the semester. But have no fear, NU Barkada is ALIVE and LIVIN’ IT UP!

So what has NU Barkada been up to?

The First GM was held on Friday September 17, 2010 in the ISSI Lounge from 6-8 pm. So many enthusiastic new people shared their love for Halo-halo while mingling and feasting. Even e-board had a grand time after recovering from their previous night adventures as presented in the Fall Semester introduction video.

Our Second GM was bursting of outdoor FUN in the fens where Barkada huffed and puffed through games of kickball.

From the ocho ocho to the chilly chilly cha cha, Barkada got everyone to “move it move it” at the third GM, where several line dances were taught. Be sure to share our dances with your families even though your 78-year old lola already knows how to boogie.

At the fourth GM, Barkada held their annual Beatnik Bungalow benefit, a cozy open-mic event where we play music, recite poetry, and perform our lovely talents. If you missed out, check out our YouTube for some videos!

At our most recent GM, Barkada learned about Filipino superstitions in celebration of Halloween by playing a competitive game that involved lots and lots of toilet paper and lots and lots of mummies.

Don’t miss out on our Barkada adventures! We have already danced the night away at the MFA, eaten over 20 pounds of burgers and fries at Eagle’s Deli, petted starfishes at the New England Aquarium and journeyed all around Northeastern campus and Boston in our undergarments. Keep an eye out for more adventures and please feel free to join!

Our biggest event is creeping up.... *drumroll*

KAMAYAN 2010!

Dance practices have been intense and we would appreciate all the fans and support. SAVE DA DATE! --> Saturday, November 20, 2010 from 5 pm-10 pm at Metcalf Hall on Boston University campus. Additional information found here.

That's all folks!

Much Mahal,

NU Barkada
