UP FAIR: Yesthursday

Third day into the UP fair, it was the most attended night so far (I don't know if Friday trumped Thursday though). It was so jam-packed with people (thankfully not by JJs or "orcs" as the hosts calls them). Yesthursday required the bands to play 90s music, which was cool, for me at least. It was a pleasant break from the loud-bordering-metal sounds that were played two days before. Congratulations to the Circle of Entrepreneurs, and UP Adcore, for such a successful memorable night.


One of the surprises during the performances is the band called Alamid. I only knew of them that night because of their crowd-hit 90's song from the famous Filipino-morning-kid-show Batibot. I was a Batibot kid, but I totally forgot the episodes. They say that Batibot's the Filipinized version of Sesame Street. :) Anyway, they performed the Batibot song, and gave it their own twist...now just watch this to see and hear what I mean! XD


I saw Chris Ng touring the Koreans around the fair grounds. He had this Korean characters tattooed on his arms. I forgot what it meant. Do you know what it means? Also, to the right is the crowd (taken from the backstage) and Sheena, who's one of the USC people in charge of the programs, tired and resting (behind her are very loud speakers). :p


This is a once in a blue-moon opportunity to take group pics, so we grabbed it, and shot this. Dhadi, Me, Jan, Sheena, Titus, Raymund, Gino, Ching, Barbie, and of course, Lee at the background! :3 \m/


The controversial gang? Hahaha! Bam, Luis, Jovan and I, shot by Aubrey :)

Fire Away!

And so yesterday was Valentines Day. They say that it's only as good or worse as you make it. Yes. Flowers, chocolates and all these gimmicks filled the academically hallowed halls of the premiere state university.
Joey, Mik, Hannah and I attended Ariel's buffet lunch function at the College of Home Economics function room. I love the carrot soup and the chocolate fondue!
I found this around the Chinese Student Association's tambayan at AS 101. I find it really amusing. Good one, I say. :))

That evening, I had a very good talk with Don about life. Haha! I should talk to you more often. And, lets plan that road trip real soon..Yea?

Went to the fair with Don, Charles, Ainna, Thea, Tiff, and a lot more CSA dudes.

SISFIRE - UP FAIR!

Rakestra 2008

And so last night marked the first UP Fair that I ever attended! :) Alvene, Charles, Chris, Clea, Don, Thea, Tiff and I went last night to Rakestra: Lost in Oblivion, the UP Fair, sponsored by Beta Epsilon.Alvene, Chris, Clea and I went ahead of "The DonTCha". We ate a very sumptuous dinner: 3 Liempo, 1 Chicken BBQ, 1 Siomai, 1 Calamares, very refreshing Buko Pandan juice, and NY Fries with Garlic Parmesan and Red Chili Pepper dips. (Oh, not to mention, they ate KFC while waiting for me)

This is one of the moments when we all hoped we've brought cameras with us. In the end, we just settled looking for a very bright place to take our photos with Clea's camera. Sad. But it worked, at least.

Charles, Don and Tiff and Thea followed after. UP Fair Shirts are cool!

It was definitely way better than Xavier fair. It was way better than ICA fair. It's just really different. It rocked! We all joined in and tried to squish our way among the crowd, to go near the front. The bands were okay, but what really struck me the most, and made my night was Urbandub, accompanied by no other than the Manila Philharmonic Orchestra. This is the celebration of music. I love it!

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the JJs (Jumping Jologs) really enjoyed themselves. Sheesh. First time to see them in action. They amuse me! ;)

We all went home after (a little before 1am), except for Chris, who "attended a meeting", and went back 4am. What a night! :)

Thanks Chris for the birthday libre!
Thanks Don for the ride home!! :)

What better way to spend UP fair, but with CSA! :)
