Happy 100th birthday, UP!
Filed under celebrations, events
While most people say their high school memories are their dearest, I remember my college years more fondly.
I started living on my own and began spreading my wings, so to speak. I found out that the world was so much bigger and that I had barely seen even a speck of it.
I was taught by the best, who remain my measuring sticks to this day. I found myself being around people I could connect with, who encouraged my individuality, and pushed me and inspired me all at the same time. I felt I belonged from the day I first set foot on the campus. I found my home.
I can say going to Diliman was the best decision I ever made. The university shaped me more than words can ever describe. I hope that someday, I can give back to it and make it proud of me.
Happy Centennial, University of the Philippines!
P.S.
I tried making a slideshow of my college photos, but Multiply and Photobucket are not with me on the idea. I fail. That photo of the Oblation should do for now.

I’m glad to see you qualified it. Meron akong bias pagdating sa mga schools kasi. Pag di ka Diliman… you know. Hehehe.
Pero inaacknowledge ko din ang Manila at LB kasi may sarili rin silang “forte”. Kung mag-UP rin lang ako, Diliman pa rin forever. Hahaha.
My memories of my time in college were the best! Walang binatbat ang HS or GS.
laro-laro lang naman yung high school. ang life ko noon was school, home, and church. ang boring di ba? nung college talaga ako nakapag-explore. ewan ko ba bat mas gusto ng iba ang high school.
happy centennial to us!
hehe. pumunta ba kayo sa UP?
oh. so where’s that school again?
oh, right, right. that large private school near murriam and arruhnayo. hahaha
that’s for another long discussion.
i missed the celebration because of work, but i’m told it was a blast. i love state uni.
i missed it, too. nakikikwento lang ako.
