What’s UP, Los Baños?

Last night, a fire gutted the second floor of one of the buildings of IPB!

The second floor housing the Legume, Fruits and Vegetable Section was badly burned. 

It’s been more than a month since my last entry. Nope, I haven’t abandoned this blog yet. Just busy with school work, I’m in the last stretch home – oral exams then theses defense. No blogging till I get that degree in my hands!

In the meantime, please enjoy my photo gallery of UPLB.

For incoming freshmen, prospective students or alumni missing UPLB, check this one out. Came across this video of UPLB taken several years ago and  submitted by an alumni. It will take you around campus starting from Grove to Carabao Park, Bio Sci to Agronomy, Aninal Science to Baker Hall and the dorms. Check it out here or hop on to YouTube, search for UPLB tags and who knows, there might be videos of people you know or perhaps your org. Last time I checked, there were videos of several orgs, a judo tournament, the UPLB Street Jazz and many more.

Most of the pictures were taken recently though. If you do have old pictures to share, they would be very welcome. You can comment on each page too. In the future, I will also post pictures of UPLB, of Women’s dorm, my blockmates, hiking to Mudspring and Arts Center, taken during my time. I do hope my blockmates would agree.
