COLLEGE DAYS AT DLSU, Manila
Compared to high school, I didn't really take as many pictures. One could say that I got tired of taking the pictures... I wanted to be on them for a change!!! Some of the pictures here were lent to me by friends so that I could put them here in my online album.
I have to admit that I did have the ride of my life in college. Santugon, Freshman Orientation, the Political Science Society, and some truly awesome friends and experiences... I can't really believe that all of these happened to me in a span of three and a half years!!!
Have a peek at how life in college has been for me...
I'd have to say that I didn't really have much of a "quiet" life in college. I even had to take a time management seminar during my sophomore year to get a grip on things.
I devoted most of my time to Santugon Sa Tawag Ng Panahon, one of the Student Council-recognized parties in DLSU, and to the Freshman Orientors, a volunteer group under the Office of Student Activities (who seem to orient people even if they aren't froshies... : P)

What most La Sallians agree with relation to common interest is the UAAP (University Athletic Association of Philippines). It's probably the biggest thing to watch-out for in college here in the Philippines --- especially basketball (what a big surprise, huh?)
The last time La Salle won in the basketball tourney was in 1998 season of the UAAP. I was there --- heck, almost everyone in the campus was there for the 2nd (and last) encounter between La Salle and FEU. Practically the whole of Araneta Coliseum was filled-up by the green gallery. I guess the support from fellow students helped a lot.
I wonder if La Salle will win again this year?
My "barkada" (a close circle of friends) in college. L to R: Lito Armada, Marianne Barredo, me, Mae-mae Moreno, and Jeremy Relucio (not in pic: Eman Astudillo, and Cindy Mateo) | Jeck Drilon and Pauline Icasas --- two of my closest friends in Santugon --- at the Santugon tambayan (located along SJ walk) | ||
Here are pictures of some of my orientees during the Freshman Orientation of 1998. I lost some of my other pictures of last year's orientation, and I wasn't able to get pictures of my 1997 orientees. (L) - LR 23, Political Science, College of Liberal Arts; (R) - S19, College of Computer Studies (not included are my orientees from the College of Engineering and the College of Business and Economics) |
The new generation of Santugon people... Mona Rodriguez and Cel
This pic was taken during our first field trip in college. L to R: Lito, Eman, me, and Jeremy Here's another pic during the field trip... I think this was our ARTAPRE(Art Appreciation class)trip. Clockwise from L to R: Lito, Jeremy, Eman, (forgot his name), Marianne, Chiqui Herrera, and me.
This was taken along SJ Walk in DLSU. L to R: Maricris, Roger Abada, Pauline,Reza Dadufalza, and me. Santugon's meetings are always called "family meetings". This pic was taken while we were having one of our fam meetings for the Student Council elections. Clockwise: Pauline, Jeck, Reza, Butch, and Mona.
The Freshman Orientation and the Frosh Orientors are considered institutions within the university. In 1997, I became part of the pioneer oreintor group which implemented the first Lasallian Personal Effectiveness Program (LPEP). And here we are... probably the best group of freshman orientors ever!!!
Our graduation was held in the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) on January 30, 1999. Here are some friends with whom I was able to experience this most momentous occasion. Some good friends who also graduated the same term as I did. L to R: me, Pauline, (forgot her name), and Jak Kahn (well... he didn't graduate along with us, but he's still fun company just the same!).
Here I am receiving my diploma from Bro. Rolly Dizon, FSC. Gosh... who would've thought that time would just fly as fast as it did! My grad pic... i don't like my hair here. The guy who did my hair made me look like some freaky hair spray image model!!! THIS PAGE IS ETERNALLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION
