Photos we took. Election day. U.P. Diliman.
A black cat. The paparazzi scared it away.
Alex was bored because she did not bring her camera. Sam lent her the Olympus MJU 410 (Sam was using my Canon IXUS i7) but Alex said she wasn’t in the mood (or was it because the MJU was broken?).
Sam with my Canon IXUS i7. That’s why she could be so generous about lending her (broken) camera.
The U.P. College of Law (Malcolm Hall), my “home” for four wicked years. 
Alex and Sam in front of Malcolm Hall. Neither one is interested in spending four wicked years there.
Sam and Speedy in front of Malcolm Hall. He was taking a picture of me while I was taking a picture of them.
Joggers on the academic oval. You know… in my eight years in U.P., I was never able to jog along entire perimeter of the academic oval. But then that’s because I don’t jog.
Our ancient car under an even more ancient tree.
Sam’s sunset, taken on the football field.
Hi Connie, reminds me of the time when my sister used to take me to UP to hang out.
Was Flerida Ruth Romero one of your law teachers?? If so, she is my aunt.
Anyway, great pics and lovely to see your family esp the girls!!!
CHeers Gina
a series of some very proud pictures from an alumni, hahaha. and rightly so. it will always be a thing of regret for the rest of my life that i never became one. UP and the best of its lot must always define what being a Filipino is about.
Wow! I like the sunset! It looks like the sun is literally bursting!
Connie, ang cute ninyong tignan. I guess doing a common activity together is the key in uniting a family.
Hi Gina, yes, Prof. Romero was my teacher. First year, second sem. In Civil Law – Obligations and Contracts.
Alam mo, Ben, every time I visit UP, there is still that inexplainable feeling… not pride, really, but more of nostalgia. Memories of so much learning (not necessarily inside the classroom) in those 8 years.
Rhodora, hinabol namin yang sunset na yan hahaha We were in University Avenue and Sam noticed that the sun was setting. We went back to the car in a hurry so we could find a good vantage point.
Lovely campus talaga! My son is going to UP this coming school year! I can’t explain the feeling. Halong pride, nostalgia, excitement, and a little anxiety. He will sit on the same AS steps and walk along the very same corridors. And ride an ikot jeep to get to the gym, too (did you know that there is now a “toki” jeep that plies the clockwise route?)!
Ang saya pala maging “schoolmate” ang sariling anak
Hi Carol, yah, I found out about the “toki” recently. Good idea, noh?
wow, ang ganda ng sunset!
to Gina who made a comment in number 1, you know what? I am named after your aunt! MY name is “Fredda Ruth”. My mom told me she named me after Ms. Flerida Ruth Romero, secretary-general of the 1987 Constitution.
Incidentally, I will also be enrolling in UP law school this June. I’m anxious and excited. Connie, this must be how you felt on your first day of school.
Prof. Romero must have made such an impression on your mom, Fredda.
Anxious AND excited is a very apt way to describe the feeling. An all-time high (hirap kaya pumasa to get in) and a little worried about the unknown. 
But it’s such an adventure. Good luck and don’t forget to have fun.
