A Prouder PUPian

and here's why I am a prouder PUPian. haha!

I have just posted a blog about me being a proud PUP graduate few days ago and now, a PUP-Sta.Mesa graduate where I finished my college degree bagged the top of the 2011 Civil Engineer Licensure Examination together with a graduate from University of the Philippines-Los Baños.

do I need to say more? 

I am just too proud that I am a PUPian. Though it's not me, at least it's from where I came from.

Congratulations to you, Ruben! 

Continue raising our alma mater's flag wherever you are. 

Godbless you! :)

It's been a year: A Proud PUPian

It's been a year since the big day, our graduation day. Now, officially, I am no longer a fresh graduate. haha!

Nakakamiss talagang maging estudyante. Wala kang ibang iisipin kundi ang mag aral pero ang mas namimiss ko ay ang walang kapantay na mga karanasan sa aking sintang paaralan. Mahirap pumasok sa PUP. Mahirap ang entance exam dahil super time-pressured (o ako lang ang nahirapan?), mahirap magtiis ng mahahabang pila sa kahit anong klaseng proseso, at mahirap magtiis sa init classroom. 

Pero mas mahirap lumabas. Mahirap habulin ang mga professors kapag may mga deficiencies, mahirap maghintay ng pangalang sobrang tagal lumabas sa listahan ng mga ggraduate (ni hindi mo nga alam kung lalabas pa ang pangalan mo), at siyempre, ang walang katapusang Pila Ulit Pilang sistema ng PUP. Pero siguro, slowly but surely lang talaga ang sistema sa aking sintang paaralan.

Come to think of it, I am just a student before, thinking just how to finish my studies. Minsan nga, naiisip natin na parang ang tagal-tagal at ang bagal bagal ng pagtakbo ng oras. May mga panahong parang nakakasawa na  and gumising ng maaga, pumasok sa school, gumawa ng homeworks at mag-recite. Pero kapag tapos ka ng mag aral, maiisip mo na sana estudyante ka na lang ulit para may discount pa rin sa jeep at tricycle at may baon araw-araw. Bukod dun, mamimiss mo ang pakikipagchikahan sa mga kaklase mo tulad ng pagkamiss ko sa mga kaklase ko na apat na taon kong nakasama. 

Sabi nga ni Bob Ong, "Sandali ka lang naman mag-aaral, ilang taon lang yun, kaya pagbutihin mo na."

Kung bibilangin nga naman, 6 na taon sa elementary + 4 na taon sa high school + 4 na taon sa kolehiyo, 14 years lang naman tayo mag aaral. Kung may bagsak at kung huminto ka man, halos 20 years lang. Pagkatapos nun, walang katapusang pagtatrabaho na ang haharapin natin. Mag iiba na ang takbo ng mundo  kaya mas mabuting pag-igihin na habang estudyante pa lang. 

PUP, thank you for being my second home. It wasn't easy being inside your home but those hardships helped me became stronger. SALAMAT SINTANG PAARALAN. I will always be a proud PUPian. :)

Happy Graduation Anniversary, PUP Batch 2010!

And of course, I owe everything to classmates, my family, and God. You helped me be where I am today.

The BIG DAY

MAY 14, 2010

the moment that we've been waiting for, our GRADUATION DAY.

it's sad to think that four years has just passed that fast, everything will surely be missed. :(

i just want to thank the following for being a part of the success that i have now:

PUP, thank you for being my second home.it wasn't easy but those hardships helped me became stronger. SALAMAT SINTANG PAARALAN. :)

PORTU, above all, you are the people that i will truly miss after this event. though we will not see each other always unlike before, you will forever stay in my heart, that's for sure! thank you for being like my true brothers and sisters (kahit parang sisters lahat. haha!) :)

to my PARENTS, this is all for you! I need not to say much, you know it already. ILOVEYOU BOTH! ♥♥♥

this medal is for you mama and papa! :)

and to Almighty God, many thanks for the wisdom and guidance.

15 years of studying is over. And now, I have to put my feet one step higher for my life's next chapter.Sad but happy, that's what i really feel. SAD because I will miss a lot of things like being late in class, terror and cool professors, the most famous PUP (Pila Ulit Pila) process of enrolling and a lot more but HAPPY because I know that holding my diploma (with a bonus medal) is one of the most important treasures that I will hold in my entire life.

the tassel is really worth the hassle

To all the PUPians Batch 2010, CONGRATULATIONS to us! :)
