Check this blog from Prologue Computers – http://prologuelb.blogspot.com! Remember Prologue? I wouldn’t have survived my BS theses without them – from their computer rentals, those huge diskettes and helpful personnel. They are still at Anest Tower with telephone number: 536-2057. Head over to their blog to see what’s the latest laptop in the market, computer tips and the latest products available. They sell them at Manila price, too.

Long time no post

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.

You might want to watch Sitti in concert here in Los Baños.

Movies from Down Under

The first Australian film festival in Los Baños is now going on. You still have time to catch the movies at the Havener Auditorium at IRRI on October 18, 19, 24, 25 and 26.v Admission is free!

This is your time to train your ears with that Australian twang! My favorite of these films is the Japanese Story. Hope you get to watch them. As for me, I’m watching everything! It’s not every day that one can have these type of film festivals in Los Baños!

Los Baños Flower and Garden Show, October 2007

whatsuplb — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 00:51:39 +0000

The Los Baños Flower and Garden Show is currently ongoing and will end this Sunday, October 14. So hurry up and don’t miss all those gorgeous flora on display. A few of my favorites are here. And if you missed last April’s show, the pictures are in the photo gallery.

Let’s go swimming

whatsuplb — Sun, 07 Oct 2007 11:06:26 +0000

One of UPLB students’ best kept secrets is probably Imaculada (or is is Immaculate/Imaculata?) swimming pool in Bayan. Most swimming enthusiasts would know about it, especially if you don’t like to get sunburned swimming at Baker Hall or when the Botanical Garden pool is close (which is probably the case most times of the year). I went swimming here with my dorm mates for many a night and a few years back, my blockmates had a reunion here. They’ve undergone several changes already, new roofing for the pool, a landscaped garden and new benches, and clean shower stalls! The water is warm as well, but not too hot like other pools. Entrance fee is only 40 pesos and best of all, it is not so crowded like other public swimming pools.

There are also several tables where you can place your things while swimming or for eating. Outside are a few cottages where you can have a barbecue.

Perfect for a weekend bonding with room mates or blockmates!

Familiar scenes along Lopez Ave

whatsuplb — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 05:19:12 +0000

Remember these places along Lopez Ave? Perhaps you’ve live at Revilleza Compound, shopped at Tony’s, or got held up in traffic along Lopez Elem. School as you rush to your 7 am class!

(Revilleza Compound – still looks the same `no?)

Lopez Elem School brings traffic woes in the morning. I still remember an old man directing traffic, letting school children walk across the streets…

There’s a waiting shed now for parents and yayas as they wait to pick up the kids in school.

Crossing now… notice Big Mak where Petrino’s is (for tapsilog!). A bakery stands where there used to be a store selling household items.

Need to know a telephone number?

whatsuplb — Tue, 15 May 2007 09:06:56 +0000

I’ve uploaded useful telephone numbers from UPLB that has been asked several times. So here they are, plus telephone numbers of different establishments outside UPLB. Did I miss out anything? Feel free to contribute to this list.

Taking the trolley

whatsuplb — Sun, 15 Apr 2007 06:28:00 +0000

One of the things not to be missed when staying here in Los Banos is the trolley ride that goes from IRRI to Crossing in San Antonio. It’s an entirely different view of Los Banos, much like visiting Bayan. So last week, my friends and had the chance to take trolley. I’ve taken the trolley so many years ago I’ve already forgotten how to ride in one. It sure beats traffic and the waiting for the jeepney that leaves IRRI! There are many sights to see. The railroad track passes through Molawin creek, so it seems like passing through the hanging bridge for a while. So many houses line up the tracks, people seating on the rails can be seen, dogs crossing, a man caressing his manok pangsabong watches us as we pass by, sari-sari stores…
