And God said… “It is not good that man should be alone.” –Genesis 2:18

Biblical references just got hotter as the UP Junior Marketing Association and Astring-o-sol Ice Extreme, in cooperation with Upsilon Sigma Phi and Infinit, threw one of the wildest speed dating parties the Astring-O-Sol Inter-collegiate Event Mounting Competition has ever seen last October 3 at the A.Venue Events Hall, Makati City. UP JMA as the defending champion and leading finalist, came up with After Eden as its ground-breaking event concept made especially this year for Astring-o-sol.

Before embarking on their quest to find their Adams & Eves and reliving the original sin, guests gargled with Astring-O-Sol Ice Extreme to give them confidence soooo long lasting, people can’t get enough of them!

The bar of bountiful drinks was appropriately disguised under The Ancient Tree of Eden, the one believed to bear that sinful apple, right in the middle of JMA’s Eden. And all the sexy girls dancing on top of the bar as the drinks were being served nonstop just made the tree (and After Eden) extra sinful.

Eric “Kidlat Tahimik” de Guia ‘59, the father of independent film-making in the Philippines, was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award for Filmmaking by the Manunuri ng Pelikulang Pilipino in its Gawad Urian rites last October 1.

Kidlat Tahimik is renowned as one of the country’s pioneers in alternative and independent filmmaking, known for his work “Perfumed Nightmates” (Mababangong Bangungot) which since 1977, continues to be screened in art house and alternative cinema circuits around the world and which remains to be a staple in film schools for lectures regarding alternative and third world cinema.

Unknown to many, as a resident brod, Kidlat Tahimik was President of the UP Student Council from 1962 to 1963. Congratulations brod!
