Happy 10th, Beerkada (Sentihan na!)

Tora^2 · Beerkadet

I actually got to know the strip through Beerlenium (the older edition without the Ryan Orosco Cover), which I browsed at National Katipunan.

I am an Inquirer reader which is why I never got to follow the strip on a daily basis unlike A Lipin, Kiko Machine and Pugad Baboy. But that was then. The new daily strip on the site is a very big help for me to catch up with the strip.

Maligayang AniBEERsaryo sa Beeerkada!

Una kong nakita ang Beerkada sa Phil Star. Isang araw, sa aking pagtambay sa bookstore nakita ko ang first Beerkada book. At dun na nagsimula ang pag collect ko ng Beerkada book at pagsunod sa activity ng Beerkada.

Breast milk is best for babies.Priceless.My family were avid readers of The Phillipine Star long before Beerkada comic strips appeared.Kulang ako ng Doug and Kitty para makumpleto ang collection.Where can i find it?Still available pa ba sa mga comic stores?

I also came from the Engineering Department which i take Chemistry during my college years.I'm familiar about Glenn's dealings in his school life which some of the experiences are actually based on a true story gaya ng.... skipping classes para manood ng bomba....hehehe

Happy 10th anniversary and another decade more!Please bring back Dana.I miss her na.

I first saw Beerkada as soon as it came out in the Philippine Star, but during that time, I simply couldn't be bothered. I found it to be moderately funny, but since I was making the transition from the comics, I didn't pay too much attention to it.

That all changed with one comic strip, which you can find in BEERLENIUM. It's that bit with Glen carrying his toiletries back to his room because he still thinks he's at the dorm. I don't know why, but the first time I read that strip, I laughed my ass off. At that point, I was officially hooked. And I'm glad to note that L has managed to make me laugh out loud a few more times after that.

And yes, there was the Beerkadets eGroup, the first few couple EBs, hooking up with a Beerkadette, and all those 12am marathon sessions at L's place. It's been a memorable 10 years.

The first beerkada book i read was Beerkwatro and it was an accident, when Me and my friend were making kalkal his magic the gathering in Franco st, tondo, nahulog lahat ng books na nakapatong (Merong kubori complete issues at isang street fighter comis pati hentai nya), the black book got my attention, hindi nya rin pla alam na beerkada book un, keya we read it.

Para kaming engot nung nasa shot kami, we were laughing at the corner... thus the addiction occured XD

By the way, my favorite strip is Fluency
were the enlightening words were "no kidney!!!, yu is-peak fluid english too?"

XD Da Best!!!

Sa library namin sa U.P. Baguio maraming dyaryo na pwedeng basahin (and this was about 1998). Dun ako nagbabasa ng mga comics ng Philippine Star. Naka-relate ako sa Beerkada, and got especially hooked with the Pebbles storyline. I thought na kung may mga compilation ng Pugad Baboy, then there's bound to be one for Beerkada, kaya't inabangan ko yung Beerlenium to find out more as to what happened to the Glen/Pebbles story arc. Pero wala pala dun - so I had to get Beerkados to get all the details. At dun na nagsimula yung pagka-hook ko sa strip na to at sa pagco-collect nung books.

10 years and 9 books later (I have both original Beerkados and the reprint, as well as the other 7 books), I'm still loving the exploits of the Beerkada gang. HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY BEERKADA!

letsee.. my first memory with beerkada (that i can remember now) was during a book signing at AS Walk.. i was looking for a gift for my exbf then.. and there was this line at a table where people where getting their caricatures! and so i bought treskada, with my caricature on it. ang isip ko nun, mukha akong mataba sa caricature ko.. and so nerdy looking with my glasses.. tapos parang ang sungit nung author (sobra bz kasi sa dami ng tao).. in any case.. after that, i think i joined the mailing list/aristocart.. then i bought the other books, including doug and kitten (which is currently missing.. did anyone from here borrow my copy???) ..i really liked doug n kitten.. i thought, wow, may sweet and nerdy side pala yung author (LOL) akala ko coño lang sya (inglishero kasi).. after that i joined the forums.. went to ebs.. and the rest is history.. :p

Sentihan, Bi? My own beerkada story is worthy of it's own Maalaala Mo Kaya episode.
To people who hate long tales and/or mushy stuff, you have been forewarned.

I had recently graduated from college (eng'g) and have been missing my own barkada, since our group had been scattered liberally across the nation for our jobs. Then, I saw the very first strip in the Philippine Star while looking for my daily dose of The Far Side. As soon as I saw the word 'Eng'g', I was intrigued. From that very first strip on, I would open the Phil Star looking for Beerkada. L's cartoonized UP campus and its nutty residents reminded me very much of my own beloved USC-TC campus, and the Beerkada was practically an amalgam of my own friends' personalities. Glen was very like my best friend-a great guy who was on the torpe side, and even kind of stalked his crush. And Alan reminded me a lot of my ex whom I'm still good friends with.
I think it was KenMikaze who commented that I was a 'human beerkada archive'. maybe it had something to do with the fact that in those early days preceding email, text-messaging and friendster, I'd re-read my beerkada books whenever I miss my college friends and lifestyle. I may be a freshie in this forum, but i've been a Beerkadet even before the term was coined.

Happy Dekada L, and keep the strips coming.

my beerkada moment...let's see...

mahilig talaga kasi ako magbasa ng komiks. at habang nasa national bookstore ako ay natripan kong bilhin yung beerkuwatro tsaka treskada. nasa college na yata ako nun eh at dahil engineering din ang course ko ay nakarelate ako dun sa mga 'ligaw lines' ni alan. tapos sumali ako sa aristocart, then nalaman ko na may book signing sa gloria jeans sa cubao. sakto sasamahan ko din yung friend ko na si sheena na bumili yata ng physics or calculus book noon..noong pagdaan namin sa gloria jeans eh nahiya pa akong magpasign noon ng book ko (go-kada na dinala ko na rin noon just in case)..pinilit ako ni sheena at ayun...yun ang start...:)

weeeh, T__T naalala mo pla un XD pero before that, we forgot about the books until fernando shows the book 4 to us polskie...

Meh... Tulad ng karamihan dito, sa Philippine Star ko unang naabutan ang Beerkada. Dahil mas madalas ako noong magbasa ng Star, 'yun ang una kong hinahanap (second to the Business Section XD). Pero pagtapak ko dito sa forums saka ako mas nainvolve.

My first Beerkada was Go-Beerkada, na nabili ko sa UP many years ago (and signed by L). Sumunod na nabili ko ay ang Fantakada at ang latest ay 'yung BFF (na ngayon ay hostage na ng girlfriend ko). I think ang una ko namang EB ay sa Gloria Jeans near Araneta (book signing yata 'yun, can't remember).

s2chard · KONOHA VILLAGE - Jounin

friend ko nagrecommend sakin ng beerlenium. my favorite part was the ROTC kaya ayun nahook ako. Kaso lumipas pa ng 1 taon bago ko nalaman na sinundan siya. Bibili ako ng reference book sa national bookstore sa festival then napadaan ako sa humor section at dun ko nakita ang treskada at beerkwatro. So ang ginawa ko binili ko yung dalawa then sa Recto ko binili yung yung libro para magfit lang sa budget ko.

then sa book may website nakalagay para sa forum... tapos uhmm... lahat ng komikon umatend ako then... ayun dun ko nabili ang beerkados, yung 5th installment at 6th... biggrin

lyndon knows how engineering is..im sooo touched!

errhhm...

hmm..maybe not that touched (im a guy,not a manly word XD)
nakarelate ako sobra.

i was given a sine!and was turned on! flipflopped and biased all around!now im on my conventional loop and discharging my surge of emotions!
beerkada brought back my uplink/downlink to college humor (and after those)
my transmission cells are heighten! it can never be laplaced!!!

Clueless · Beerkadet

I first saw beerkada during my 2nd year in highschool. There was a marathon of school programs and classes were suspended to give way. (I don't know why they do that. Classes are way more important) Then I saw one of my classmates reading beerlenium. I borrowed it, and finished it that day. I laughed my head out and it was a good thing people were too busy to notice me. The addiction began. I searched different branches of NBS for beerkada books. Unfortunately, just when my collection was almost complete, my cousin lost my fantakada and beerkuwatro. I have never lended my beerkada books to anyone else ever since.
