[shooting_star]

i like...
-- the freedom

-- the diversity of people
-- the minimal tuition fee :D
-- the prestige
-- the happenings (lantern parade, oble, etc.) that even get to be televised :lol:
-- the variety of food
-- WALANG PASOK PAG WEDNESDAYS :glee:
-- and a lot more...

how about you? :sunnysmile:

[UST_BOY]

I am not from UP. Pero alam nanaman natin na ito ang da best! May academic freedom and all that! U-NIBERSIDAD NG PILIPINAS!

[cuteflirt_4sale]

uhhh. .... the OBLATION RUN????!!!!!!

*pinkcheer*

[lilac_wine]

nako! marami!

the trees! i love the trees! ang ganda talaga sa acad oval. i love taking long walks there. :)

and in the morning, i love passing through the road behind vargas, yung kakanan ka sa may "statue garden" (anong tawag uli don?) then you get a glimpse of the trees in the oval and the oble and the fields and the...haaay...

and i love the concerts! bad trip nga lang di na pwede mag concert outdoors. elvis wasn't as fun because it was in bahay ng alumni...pero ok lang. at least there's still the UP fair!

i love the observatory! nakapunta na rin ako last week, after the lantern parade...first time in my four years in UP! ok siya. mababait mga tao dun. :)

yan lang muna, medyo tinatamad na ko ... :D

[primitiverebel]

right now, i think ang okay na lang sa university (i'm talking about broad topics here, not specifics, okay?) would be the leadership in quezon hall.

nemenzo should be president for life.
sadly, even with him at the helm di mapigilan ang pagkawala ng mga matitinding faculty. of course, madami pang matitindi. kaso yung mga pa-retire na yun. sa mga bata, ang naiwan puro mga middle-of-the-pack.

bakit? wala na ngang pera, pupulitikahin ka pa. chismisin pa private life mo. sino tatagal dýan?

yung mga naiwan, wala namang accomplishments puro yabang pa. tapos aang i-re-recruit yung siguradong papanig sa kanila kung botohan na. ano na tuloy mangyayari sa quality? kainis...

siyempre pa, sa social sciences ang pinag-uusapan... hehehe...

buti na lang RGEP na...

I'm an Atenean. The things I like about UP are...

- BEACH HOUSE. Best damn bbq I've tasted.
- Running around the campus. Not as cool as the Ateneo's, but great just the same. (Maybe I have to go around more).
- Subjects that I can capture on film or video!
- Cheap photocopying.
- CHOCOLATE KISS
- CHATEAU VERDE

[flotsam_jetsam]

almost everything..except perhaps the washrooms.:D but my fil25 teacher said we're fortunate now coz back then, "stink" was an understatement.

[bobobear]

everything.... except that... i did not pass the entrance exam :)

On a good weekend, beach house bbq, with steaming hot rice and a cold coke is the best thing that can happen. Simple pleasures. Oh well. :)
