This event is sponsored by Jersey City Peace Movement, a group of activists that gather at the square every last Sunday of the month to promote peace.

“Sunrise, Sunset: Looking For William” at Jersey City Library

Del — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 19:51:09 +0000

Do you have Filipino friends here in Jersey City? If so, please pass this post to them if they have nothing to do tomorrow: an invitation to watch the play “Sunrise, Sunset: Looking For William”

Sunrise, Sunset: Looking for William
Description: Stage Play
Where: Five Corners Library – 678 Newark Avenue, Jersey City 07306
When: November 07, 2009 2PM

Tomorrow, this play about Filipinos in America – written and directed by Tino Aquino Capili – will be staged at Five Corners Library. It has been staged three times before, and tomorrow might be the last. The play has received an excellent review from an award-winning Filipino writer Dr. Jorshinelle Taleon-Sonza.

This event is also recommended for Non-Filipinos who want to understand Filipino culture and history, or who want to gain insights of who Filipinos truly are.

I hope to see fellow Filipinos tomorrow and Jersey City residents who are interested in this type of event.

Jersey City Blood Drive last Friday @ 5 Corners

Del — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 00:28:54 +0000

Eventhough the weather was bad last Friday, the blood drive at Five Corners Library on Newark Avenue, Jersey City still pushed through. This is my first time donating blood after 7 long years.

2 More photos inside the post …

The guy who took my info told me that there were only a few respondents for their event when I asked him. I was only the third person who came, and it was already 1PM that time.

Below is the blood donor who works at the municipal court. Same as I am, he just walked in after he saw the sign at the corner of Newark and Summit Avenue:

And this is me and my slanted smile. :P It took me several minutes to fill up the plastic bag with my blood.

Do you donate blood?

Going to the Five Corners Branch library (north-east of Journal Square) this Saturday? You probably need to cancel it or go there tomorrow as it will be closed due to street repairs.

As a matter of fact, Eastbound of Newark Avenue (from Tonelle Avenue) was blocked off this afternoon. Just don’t know if this is related to the road construction this Saturday.
