In case you didn’t know it, we took part into the IEW’09 at the national Library of Anosy on November 18 and 19. The members did an amazingly amazing great job!! (ain’t too much lool). And only for that, we’re also greatly thankful to each one of them. This following video (the seconde part here) was mad for that occasion. We had to split it into two parts because of the internet connection in here (duh!).

Don’t forget our last Movie Session of this year. Our host, Hary, is already excited to receive all the ICE crazy members. We’ll be watching “The Hangover” and then we’ll have a quizz to find out who followed and understood the movie. There will be prizes of course.

That’s not all. The ACC (Antanimena) will organize a documentary film projection next week (Wednesday 09) about human trafficking that promises to be very interesting. We don’t know exactly what time it will start but it should be between 12 and 12.30.

Yeah, that’s it. We hope to see you in one of our activities. Until then take care and have a nICE day.

Blog Workshop with FOKO

Since the start of this year we’ve had plenty of new projects to allow the members to be more involved into the club’s activities. We thought that giving them opportunities to share what they like and know would be a great experience – for both sides – beside the debates and games we are used to having on Saturdays. We wanted them to have their own “time” during which they would talk about something they’re passionate about. One of these projects is the “Presentation”. This new activity can help the members in public speeches in their professional or private life. It may sound like a school thing but it’s not. In fact, it’s more fun with less pressure if I may say so. The getting-used-to is what we’re looking for here. Your work can be a simple presentation, a how-to or a little workshop. It mainly depends on how you would efficiently use the 15 minutes given to you. This coming Saturday Andry and I will take the ICE members to the world of blogs after being ourselves dragged in there by Foko‘s initiative which we’ll never be thankful enough to. We will try to give answers to the following questions : What is a blog and what can we do with blogs? What are the responsibilities of a blogger upon things he’s published and what effects it can bring about. Eventually, we will introduce the Malagasy blogosphere by talking about the Best Of Malagasy BlogS contest that is going on right now (visit http://bestofmalagasyblogs.com and vote for your best Malagasy blogs). More interesting and diversified “presentations” will follow this first one. If you are interested in this virtual world we warmly invite you to join us this coming Saturday at EPP Analakely (room 11) from 10.00am till 12.00 noon.

We used to have it every second Saturday of the month but we had to put on stand by due to the unrest. It was with a great pleasure then that the ICE members had the first session of this year. With a new start and a new host, we knew it was going to be special. Dago, kindly accepted to receive us at her place.

After the meeting, we all ate at a Malagasy restaurant close to our room 11. I forgot its name but it has tasty and cheap food. The ICE members took a whole long table and ordered turn by turn what they wanted to eat. Then, we took a bus to go to Ankandindramamy. We were numerous enough to fill almost all the seats of the little taxi-be 135 lol. I saw on the conducteur’s face the smile of satisfaction.

We chose “Enchanted“, a choice that honestly didn’t motivate me at all. It is a mix of cartoon and musical at the same time. You know the Disney kind that girls adore. But it turn out to be interesting, englishly speaking (does that exist?). The story is kind of fairytale so the English spoken in it was a bit formal. The actors spoke slowly and clearly. I guess the guys could understand most of what they said. I chatted with Tija, a facebook friend, last week and she asked if we put subtitles when we watched movies. I said no. She made a good point tough. Subtitles can help members remember and properly write the words that they’re hearing. For our first MS we asked the guys if they’d like to have (English) subtitles and the answer was “no”. They said subtitles may attract more their attention than the dialogue thus they may miss the story. Pretty true.

At the end the movie, the girls were still glued on the screen hypnotized by prince Edward loool :p while the boys ate all the food lool :p Next time we’ll chose bloody film.

We’re working on a new photo gallery that we hope will be operational soon. Therefore, the only MS5 available photos are on our facebook gallery.

The goal of the game is simple, you take everything you’re wearing that could be tied up together. Then, you try to make with them the longest possible rope. It’s a team work. It’s at the same time a kind of race (you guys need to be quick) and strip tease :p (take all of them off). A judge, someone who obviously doesn’t play the game, will check the rope when a team is done.

You can also play it in two rounds. The first one, making the rope and undressing and the seconde one the opposite way. To spice it up, the players should not go find additional clothes when they are aware of the rules. If the only thing you’ve put on are a t-shirt and a pair of jean … then you’ll have to manage it. It’s also a way to see who’s boldest among you all.

The third ICE Movie Session (MS3) was held last Saturday in a beautiful place at Amparibe. Thanks to Moon, we had our first MS cake. Prior to the real Movie Projection we had a great time and fun watching the Def Comedy Jam All Stars (thank you Moma) while grabbing a whole sandwich with soda :p as lunch. Then, we kept it up with the “Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events”, a fantasy film starring Jim Carrey before ending the session with a tasty cake. You can go and check out now the MS3 photos
