7. Ok lang pumasok sa mga klase kahit naka pambahay/pantulog attire ka.
8. Pag nagtanong si manong driver ng “may animal ba dyan?”, at may sumagot ng “meron po” ay di ka natawa.

What’s up, Los Baños? I haven’t had the time to blog lately. Grad school work is taking it’s toll and it’s only now that I’ve managed to catch up with blog matters. Though I still can’t post that much these days. Anyway, I’ll share interesting reads from UPLB students and alumni bloggers, as well as smuttering of blogs I like to read.

October 25, 2007 By: whatsuplb Category: Alumni, UPLB anything goes, batch `91 3 Comments →

Nothing like being a frehsman - new experiences, blockmates, new friends, exposure to national issues, imbibing the UP culture. I’m compiling this list of memorable events during our freshman year. Please help me fill up my list. Thanks.

Name three memorable events during your freshman year. Let me start. Batch `91 ako.

1. Mt Pinatubo erruption (ang alikabok sa LB!)
2. Salonga leads the Philippine Senate in rejecting the RP-US Bases Treaty (ang saya sa campus the day after)
3. Walang kamatayang “More than words” ang number one song.
