Just Test Takers Passing

I was one of the lucky people who first shared the link in Facebook and spread the word that the UPCAT results finally came out. I have checked the results and so far most of the people I knew who took UPCAT passed. I just don't know whether it is their first choice or last. But even so, CONGRATULATIONS, future freshies!

Just about this time last year, I got excited with all the test  results coming out. Boy, I was so happy head over heals when I saw my names in every results site of the entrance tests I took. After getting the results, I had the time of my life deciding where to study.

Pasalubong Festival 2012

My body is sore, I want my voice back, I have a stuffy nose and a mountain of schoolwork that should be finished tonight, or before day break tomorrow. But before I write speeches, journals and a kick-arse formal report on an experiment, I would like to share yesterday's highlights.

Kalayaan Residence Hall, my dorm in UP, held a Pasalubong Festival (Pasa Fest, in short) yesterday where dormers brought the specialties of their regions. Pasalubong is a Filipino term for a traditional homecoming gift, so everything yesterday was given for free to everyone, dormers and visitors alike.
