The Story of Christmas (part 1)
“Pag-ibig na kasing lawak ng kalawakan”
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY AWESOME-est FATHER. \o/
My roommate has sleeping issues. :3
Dear Freshman
So you did pass the NCE, be it an outright passer or an alternate. You may feel proud for quite some time, but don’t let it go to your head. Your Freshman year will teach you that life as a Pisay scholar isn’t that easy. You will be presented a bunch of papers that will mean nothing for you in the meantime, as you are merely a 12 or 13-year-old who is blinded by the wonders of free tuition and monthly stipends. Little do you know that those bunches of papers will change your life from the moment you sign them; it’s a contract that will bind you to Pisay and will enclose you to the world of science and technology.
Maybe it seems too early to be thinking of what course you need for college, but think about whether you’re ready to live your life in this field in the near future, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, ‘til death do you part. It’s a marriage between you and science, so be ready to be committed. You will sacrifice a lot, but you will gain more in return.
For your subjects, you will be introduced to Integrated Science which is not just your ordinary science subject but rather a combination of Chemistry, Physics and Biology. You will be studying Earth Science, which is quite hard (no pun intended here). You will be reading Jose Rizal’s Noli Me Tangere for Filipino - a novel which is read by Juniors in other high schools. Your Math will be called Introduction to College Algebra, your English will be a series of debates, talks and essay writings. Your PE will be stressful even though you’re in a science high school; they want you to be physically fit after all. You will be taught Music, then Arts and Drafting for your electives. After that, you will also have Values Education for your spiritual strengthening. Accompanied by heavy hardbound books as thick as dictionaries and medical encyclopedias, these subjects may be challenging, but do not fear, your teachers will go easy on you - you are only a freshman after all.
You will be amazed by the sort-of freedom in Pisay. You will find out that walk outs exist, that some teachers will allow you to eat inside the room, let you take pictures of the lectures instead of writing down notes, and be late for a few minutes as long as she hasn’t arrived before you yet. You will learn from your classmates, find out what it’s like to be in the province, to be in private schools, to be elite, to be simple, to speak in fluent English, to speak in other dialects - you will be open to a world you’ve never seen before.
You will fail many times in Pisay, despite being the valedictorian, salutatorian or what-not awardee you were in elementary. It will hurt, so much, but it will bring you to your senses that there’s so much more than just failing because you will stand up and learn from your mistakes. Pisay will make you cry, but it will make you laugh as well. Just like falling in love with a person, you will fall in love.
Yes, you will fall in love, maybe not with someone, but with the wonders of the golden lettering engraved outside the gates. It’s Pisay after all, even though it’s a public science high school. You will learn to love the tablecloth skirt and the tropical-colored blouse, as well as the white polo and black pants which you can buy almost anywhere, even in the market. You will admire the scenery of the orange sunset (even though you will find out that it’s the pollution of Manila causing it), you will inhale the summer wind when the kalachuchis are blooming and the cherry trees, fire trees and cotton trees are in season. You will enjoy walking around the oval and the campus, while talking with friends and sharing secrets you’ve never heard of before.
So don’t take this Pisay education for granted, so many students wanted this opportunity for themselves, so make the most out of it. You are now an Iskolar ng Bayan.
30 things I’ve learned after 30 days in UP (by Renz Baluyot)
1. Never wear shirts from MPPA. Masayang makidinig kapag may taong pinaguusapan ang school mo ng hindi nila alam na school mo na pala pinaguusapan nila. 2. It’s fun to make salita Conyo, as in like, super funneh. They can make gets what you make salita and they can me connect-connect and reply in like a Conyo way din. Basta, it make gawa tawa-tawa :))) 3. Dapat ka laging may payong lalo na kapag malayo-layo lalakarin mo at walang malapit ng jeepney stop. Kung stuck sa SC, wag magatubili bumili ng 60-pesos na disposable payong, sira kaagad sila or sira na sila in the first place. 4. Nakakamiss ang mga DSLRs ng mga tao :< 5. Dapat alamin mo yung mga alternate names ng buildings. Huwag ka maghahanap ng labgowns for sale sa Miranda Hall, kasi ang MH ay ang Melchor Hall *slash* College of Eng’g. Magmumukha ka lang tanga. Swear. 6. Wag iassume na lahat ng tao, alam ang Tanduay Ice. Kasi, hindi pa pala yun uso sa ibang freshmen. Mapapahiya ka lang, tapos iisipin nilang drunkard ka kasi you drink ‘Tanduay’. 7. May B Baluyot Street kang madadaanan pag pupunta ka sa either branch ng Moonleaf sa UP. 8. Hindi bababa sa 15 MPPA students ang makakasalubong mo everyday, excluding sa people sa dorm at kaklase mo talaga. 9. May mahahanap ka na blue-haired, pink-haired, at green haired girls sa UP, na medyo maaassociate mong sila ang Powerpuff girls in disguise. 10. Mahirap magpapayat sa UP kasi kada kalye, may kainan. Hindi lang isa, minsan, umaabot pa ng 10. 11. Kung tingin mo, nakatakas ka sa food sa MPPA, think again. 12. Never give your number to an Org ng basta-basta. Maiinis ka kasi wagas silang mangulit minsan. 13. Never say anything negative about KPOP in public. Don’t ask. Just don’t do it. 14. Avoid making yaya your friends to Moonleaf kasi malamang pipilitin ka nilang ilibre mo sila. Kailangan, paramdam lang. 15. Ang best way to say na galing ka sa main campus ay Diliman Campus. Wag mo sabihing Pisay lang, MPPA, o kaya The Main Campus (TMC) kasi medyo mayabang ang dating. 16. Sosyal ang Moonleaf Maginhawa mag spellout ng name. Ako si Renze :)) 17. Wag pupunta ng Isawan ng mag-isa nakakaOP kasi maraming couples dun. 18. Kung gusto niyo ng chupchapan, mas nakakatuwa ang sa Track Oval, kasi medyo private pero di kasingprivate ng Lagoon. 19. Mahalin ang Form 5, wag lukutin kasi maraming tumatawang teachers kapag nakakakita ng halfed na form 5. 20.Wag mamaliitin ang DG quizzes sa chem.Kasi yeah, medyo kailangan ng kaunting utak talaga. 21. Never make attempt to make kausap na inaadress mo ang ilang tao na Kuya o Ate, promise, may mga legit na mukhang babaeng lalaki sa UP. 22. Alamin mo beforehand kung ano yung class na papasukan mo, may mga nanggagagong teachers lalo na sa Philo. 23. Kung nasa Chem Building, wag nang magatubiling maghanap ng pagkain sa NIP, Smokey’s lang meron at promise, malaki ang patong nila.Sa Math Building na lang kumain. 24. It’s Ar-ih-Neigh-Oh, not A-tea-Neigh-Oh. Nuff Said. 25. Walang kwenta magtanong kung anong course ng isang tao kasi makakalimutan mo rin siya, at marami-raming nagshishift :) 26. Iba ang MRT Ikot sa Ikot lang. Kasi, bago kayo makapuntang AS, iikot –ikot ka muna sa QC ng 20-30 minutes at malalate kayo sa Philo Class. 27. Mahirap tiisin ang taho sa IC, lalo na kasi si Kuya tumutupad sa request mong extra Arnibal. 28. Hindi yapat na instant noodles, nailuluto na gamit ang hot water. Hindi masarap ang matigas na noodles. 29. Masarap ang Avocado Shake at Lemon shake sa una, pero mahirap ubusin kasi sobrang pait/asim na after ng ilang sip. 30. Masaya ang intriga lalo na pag medyo hindi na siya love triangle, kundi love web na :)))
Behold my college bag. :3

1. Dapat mag-aral ka. 2. Kapag sinabi mong Pisay ka, ung mga tao, napapa-:O. 3. KONAN. :) 4. You must be stable under pressure. 5. Topic pala sa Physics ang Colors. Kala ko dati pang-Art yun, eh. 6. 1 is greater than 5. 7. Nakakapagod umakyat ng 4th floor. Sobra. 8. Cramming is bad. But we never...
“Now, this is near empty but I rigged it to let out a burst of very high pressure--- Should force a breath into your lungs, but you have to hold on to it, okay? Hold on tight. Should be enough to get you up the 90 feet or so.” “One breath? But there's two of us.” “Yeah, I've done the math. That's why you're taking it. You're a better swimmer anyway.” “No.” “Jemma” “No. I am not leaving you here. That's ridiculous. We need a new plan” “We're not discussing it, okay? You're taking it-- end of story. I couldn't live if you didn't” “Well, I feel the same way. There has to be another way” “You're taking it” “Why would you make me do this? You're my best friend in the world!” “Yeah, and you're more than that, Jemma. ---- But I couldn't find the courage to tell you”
