UP LYF - RELOADED: UPLB / UPB edition 2.5

I just do not know why I used 2.5... hehe. 

More...

(here goes the ellipsis...)

- rallies are for these reasons (oh just be honest): true spirit of being UPian; go home and do laundry; get out of that darn classroom; escape from that dreaded L.E.; rally just for the sake of rallying. 

- there are departments or offices which have dreadful people: OUR - mng Julie; Lib - the fat lady who just cant finish ranting about people (shut your mouth for once); HRDO - the guy with the eyeglass oversized shirt and annoying voice; Security office - the UP police force (xish, katamaran).

- pinakakawawang college: CAC. well, until December na lng ung kawawa award para sa CAC peeps. pero ang generic ng building natin, ala man lng laban sa SocSci. hehe, sorry for the sour graping :)

- UNWRITTEN CODES and PHENOMENA INSIDE THE CLASS: 

1. Being late could either annoy your instructor or be happy because someone will face a fun punishment. wow. :)

2. Be careful at the first day of classes when finding for your room or face embarassment... oh comment na yung mga napahiya!! hahahaha. joke lng. :)

3. Laptops are essential nowadays for presentations and just plain fun in waiting for that perpetually late instructor hehe. Notice the freshies recently, well, TOFI has its ups and downs, ironically.

4. Attendance will diminish until the end of semester with the exception of LEs and finals. 

5. Time allotment for tardiness is unfair, period. hheehe. 30 mins for instructors while 15 mins only for students... hwow. Wait for a teacher for 30 mins and you just wasted your time, especially if you only have one class for that day or the class is at the either end of the day like 7 am or 5:30 pm. ahaha.

6. In UPLB, there are classes where if there is no electricity (which is frequent because of NAPOCOR), there will be no classes like those at the Humanities and of course ComSci. 

One more thing, bring flashlights or anything to light your blue book whenever your exams at night because even if the lights go out, exams would go on. I have never encountered this in UPB, well not yet.

7. It is just fun to see freshmen having to ask permission to go to the bathroom or stand up to recite... yeah! be the talk of the class. ahahah. joke. :) well, you guys must know it by now. xish.

8. Im out of thoughts on this, just add. ahaha.

- Bureaucracy will make your head spin. From enrollment to borrowing stuff, you will surely be angry. ehehe.

- The library is one of the most inefficient departments... What the hell is the book detector for  when you still have to show the insides of your bag when going out?????? Why does the OPAC have to be so inaccurate??? Why do they love taking their brakes so early that one could incur overdue because the custodian would close his or her section even before cut-off time????? Why do some librarians have to be grumpy??? Do they have customer relation courses??? hmmm, it's up to them to do better and not rant about things that students have complained for eons.

Last, why do we need to have our ID stickers countersigned at the Lib when the OUR could do it themselves?????? argh. I am not lazy but it is just the inefficiency of our bureaucracy.

- On the lighter side, the CRs are havens for gossip, graffiti, and best of all, rumors of who had the biggest uuummmm "waste" in the toilet bowl!!!! whew!!! (Sorry for those who are eating while reading this blog) Don't we have anymore courtesy for good smelling people? ahahah. :)

- Everyone hates the curfew in the campus.

- Sleep deprivation is the common sickness of UPians...

- Globe subscribers dominate UPB... Sun cellular for UPLB. 

- Everyone hates the abortion stairs.

- You have to run to national bookstore at SM just for the basic needs... especially ballpens or pencils!!! Can't we just have a small school supply store? A small budget would do.

- Tambayans for the ordinary UPian: UPB- Gale, lobby, mng mane, oble grounds, upper / lower, Lib???. UPLB - freedom park, Baker hall for the sports enthusiasts, SU [Student Union] bldg and ampitheater, Humanities Mcdo, Vega, Rob, Olivarez plaza?, Alabang, Makati (parang palayu ng palayo ah, boring tlga.)

- And on that note, tambay muna kau sa site ko hehehe. :)
