A belated welcome to What’s UP, Los Baños?
Why this blog? I got this idea when I met my blockmates last August. We always get back to reminiscing our UPLB days - teachers, classes, escapades, org as well as our crushes then. This brings me back in college, I was at SU during the Loyalty Day celebration and there was a group of alumni who made it a point to eat at the coffeeshop at SU because that was were they used to eat. And yes, my friends and I would get to talk about the things that used to be and what we have now. I got this idea that it would be good to know how was life in UPLB then (maybe how different…). Our memories of UPLB would be defined by the years we were there, the decade, the politics of our time, the fashion and the music… Let’s bridge the gap between years - share what was UPLB in your time, get a glimpse of what UPLB was for others and enjoy what is UPLB now. Hence, What’s UP, Los Baños?I started this a couple of weeks ago, writing about my favorite memories of UPLB – the gazebo at the Horticulture garden, Ellen’s fried chicken, the ever increasing jeepney fare, most especially my blockmates, friends and teachers. Now that I am back in LB for graduate studies, I am rediscovering UPLB all over again. Then typhoon Milenyo came. From 5-10 visitors each day (mostly my friends) to hundreds of visitors per day last week, I am deeply overwhelmed by the generous comments and feedbacks from all of you. I am glad to share with you my blog, fellow alumni. I especially enjoyed your sharing your memories of UPLB when you were here as students.
Thank you very much and welcome to What’s UP, Los Baños?.
