As early as last week, various cinemas in Metro Manila have started selling advance tickets for the first day showing of Harry Potter : the Goblet of Fire movie, on November 16 (Phillipine showing). Expect other promotional blitz next week, as more and more companies are sure to join in the HP4 frenzy. Incidentally, if you are a fan of K-Zone magazine published by Summit Media, its November issue contains a HP4 poster similar to this.
I am currently taking a break from a two day benchmarking activity for our company’s ISO project here at the City of Pines.

Wouldn’t it be neat to have a CONSAL 13 Blog? I wonder why this didn’t come out during the preliminary planning stage of the Consal 13 Secretariat. In this day and age, weblogs have been a powerful medium of expressing one’s thoughts and ideas, of reaching out to global audience and of bridging the demographic gap among Filipino librarians.
