(Bu)Hay peyups

Just saw Kamikazee's "Dyan Banda" episode sa MYX, yung bumisita sila sa UP, especially sa Fine Arts kung saan sila galing.

Nakakamiss ang Peyups! Wasn't able to see the whole ep, aabangan ko pa naman sana kung naipapakita yung Albert Hall, the building across Bartlett Hall (Fine Arts building; did I get the name right? Hehehe.). Yun kasi yung bahay ng mga MBB majors. Yup, ako po ay graduate ng Molecular Biology and Biotechnology sa University of the Philippines. Angas ba? Hehehe. Nde, kunwari lang yun :D

Ka-batch ko ata yung mga Kamikazee boys. I remember once nakatambay kami dun sa caf namin. It's a little canteen sa area ng MBB. We call it the MBB canteen; but I heard once that the Fine Arts folks call it the Fine Arts canteen. Hehehe. So anyway, some of my MBB friends also had Fine Arts friends, so I found myself making tambay (though this was a rare ocassion - sa totoo lang antisocial ako so I only tambay with my friends :P) with Fine Arts folks tas naggigitara at nagkakantahan lang sila dun. I remember pa they were playing "Plush" by the Stone Temple Pilots, and at that time I really wanted to grab the guitar kasi isa yun sa kakaunting kanta na naitutugtog ko ng ok at kumpleto. But the guitar guy was good anyway, tsaka singit nga lang ako dun so nakikanta nalang ako.

Sus, guitar guy was Jomal pala of Kamikazee. At that time, medyo kilala ko na sila. Madalas din kasi sila tumugtog sa UP gigs. Fast forward to today, I realize that I never thought they'd make it this big. I knew they were fun to watch, at alam kong papatok sila sa audience. Hindi ko lang naisip that they'd score jingles and lots of gigs and awards and whatnot. Galing, I'm happy for them. Peyups ata yan! :D

- - - - -

Ayan tuloy, I wanna go visit UP again. Actually nakakadaan pa rin naman ako ngayon. Mostly I have stuff photocopied for school. I go there in the morning, before I go to Pisay. Dun na rin ako nagbbreakfast (Rodic's tapsilog panalo!). But what I really wanna do is hang there with my college friends. Saan na nga bang barkada ngayon...

I miss the CASAA steps, where Pisay '98 folks would plant themselves and grow roots for the rest of the day. Ay, may pasok ba? Sige, iwan muna ang card game, pasok, tapos balik baraha after class. Hmmm. Naaah. Tuloy ang baraha! Hahaha.

Me, at the CASAA steps

I miss the Owl's Nest. I was in my last year in UP when I officially became a member of the UP Zoological Society, the coolest club in UP (naks)! We have the biggest tambayan in UP - isang buong bahay yun! Kaso lilipat na raw ng tambayan lahat ng Bio orgs kasi lilipat na sa College of Science complex ang lahat ng science units (tabi-tabi na math, chem, physics, bio). I got to meet some fun people sa ZS, and I'm glad kahit isang taon lang nakatambay ko sila at naka-bonding. Sometimes we'd bond in other places, like Sarah's and Ara and Liza :D

The ZS Berks at Sarah's

I miss Oz, overlooking the UP Track Oval. This resto at the Bahay ng Alumni used to serve some yummy pita sandwiches, tsaka love ko rin yung Jap fried rice nila. The place is still a resto today, pero di na Oz, iba na rin menu. As for the Track Oval, this is where my girls and I would have picnics. The Mat (R.I.P.). The wine. The pika-pika. The guitar and the songhits. Oh, and of course, The Camera. FILM camera pa ko nun!

Classic picnic pic of me and the girls.
Taken hours before a Wolfgang+Sandwich gig at the UP Bahay ng Alumni, which I watched w/ Andrew.

Shoutouts to the barkadas!

CASAA folks - Drew, Ramil+Andrea (welcome to the world, Baby Mateo!!!), Jeng, Hans, Cris, Basuel, PJ, Io, Lambino, Karl (belated haberdey!)...hmmm super dami natin noon, pero di ko na maalala hehehe sorry!

UP kong mahal

3rd post for tonight. Man, I've been away from this for too long :P

And I'm blogging now about the reason for my absence.

For the past week, I've spent 6pm to 9pm at the Ateneo for my classes in Environmental Standards and Technologies. La namang problema dun, although from Tuesday to Friday I also had to attend the GLOBE teacher training program in Pisay/Manila Bay so pagdating sa gabi medyo pagod na hehe. Buti nalang kadamay ko diyan si Mel (Pisay '94) and Ame (Pisay '96), my co-teachers and Ateneo classmates.

Anyways, so there, miss ko tuloy Ateneo classmates ko kasi I've been seeing them daily from Monday to Saturday of the previous week. Ngayon we're back to our regular sked of Saturday classes - Environmental Risk Assessment pag 9am-12nn, then Standards at 1-4pm.


Last sem's EM240 class (well, most of us, at least).

Problema sa whole day Saturday classes is that lately laging may kasabay. Nov 19 and Dec 3, make-up classes sa Pisay. Dec 10, seminar ko sa UP. Dec 17, kasal nina Ramil and Andrea. Hehehe. Marami-raming absent na 'to ah.

- - - - -

There are a lot of things I like about studying in Ateneo.

Great facilities, safe environment, buildings not far apart, lots of good-looking people. I get to see a lot of musicians - and that's a nice trip for me since I'm a self-confessed rocker-stalker, right? So far I've seen Yael of Spongecola, Tedmark of Happymeals, Yan of Pupil, Bryan(?) of Dicta License, and Kelley of Kjwan/Dicta License. Some sa campus ko mismo nakita, yung iba sa Starbucks Katips, which is a cool place to hangout, especially if you've got work to cram hehehe.


Latte and ferns

- - - - -

And yet...

My home is still the University of the Philippines :) Nuthin would beat the 5 years (hehe, may extrang isa :D ) I spent there as an undegrad.

So many memories. The jampacked classrooms. The vandalized bathroom walls. The ubiquitous fishball stands. The ancient laboratories. The phychem lessons I just don't get. Having picnics beside the track oval. Tambay on the CASAA steps the whole day. Hanging out with ZS or MBBS friends. Getting senti in the Sunken Garden. Bonding with friends in nearby watering holes (hehe). The unforgettable UP Fairs.

- - - - -

Ateneo's a great school (expensive though the tuition may be), but I don't get that homey feeling that I experienced in UP.

I remember the Saturday I found out that Wolfmann was in a coma. That was in the middle of my group's report sa Ateneo. I got a text from Belle saying she heard the news on NU. I walked out of the room to call Klara and Vin to confirm the news. Til now, I associate those 2nd floor walkways with the sadness of that news.

After lunch with my classmates, I hitched with LT to UP and spent some moments alone on the CASAA steps to digest reality. Somehow, the place provided me with the comfort I was looking for.

That's UP for me. She's beautiful in moments of either joy or sadness.

UP the best. UP astig! :)
