UPCAT 2008 results now available

Technorati Tags: upcat results,up mindanao,batch 2008

UPCAT results are already available. I was surprised because I thought the UPCAT results won’t be ready until the month of February or early March. I can’t wait to see the next batch. 2008 na ang student number nila, ako 2004 pa! wah. Too bad they have to pay higher fees than we do. A semester in UPMin now is pegged at about P12,000 for a regular load of 15 units. This is 300% higher than what the previous batches pay for.

oh well. Congratulations to Roni, Benraplh, and Vida for passing! Bakit walang nag-up mindanao sa inyo ha?

Problems, results, tips, and other pertinent information can be accessed at http://www.upcat.edu.ph. Congrats batch 2008!

Food Talks

Technorati Tags: food,sanitation,up mindanao

Before I entered UP I was in the best of health. In fact I rarely got sick and if ever I do it’s usually the common cold or flu, nothing drastic really. I had ulcer yes, but it was my fault for getting addicted to coke and pusit. And then I recuperate fast. Maybe because I was younger? Nah, I don’t think so.

Things changed when I began living in Mintal. We have a house right here in the city in Lanang but I can’t stand the rigors of traveling from Lanang to Mintal everyday.

Now why should I blame UP Mindanao? Well, because in one way or another they had a hand in this painful plight. And if you want you can check the clinic for stats of amoeba victims. We usually joke that UP Min students are bound to suffer from four afflictions during their 4 year stay here:

UP Resorts to Ego Bashing

Technorati Tags: up mindanao,oblation,centennial

Okay, my first post about UP Mindanao. And as much as I’d want it to be a good one, it’s not. I’m in the mood to rant and so I’ll rant.

I just got off the phone after a lead to a story I thought will be good for the school paper turned out to be a flop when I came across Karl’s multiply account.

Karl Castro is the former editor-in-chief of the Philippine Collegian and his term was quite popular because of the UP administration’s refusal to acknowledge the school paper’s autonomy.

He featured in his account two of the UP centennial songs, one from UP Diliman and the other from UP Los Banos. Before you get any ideas, I am proud of my school, I love this school, and I respect Oble for what he stands for. But I am not blind to the university’s faults, especially with the present administration.

Belly’s Grill

For the third leg of the Davao Bloggers Food trip, we all had a very satisfying free lunch at Belly’s Grill in Quirino, Davao City.I’ve heard before of Belly’s Grill but never thought of eating there, which is a shame. lol. The place is big enough and cool, ideal for group lunches and dinners as well as for meetings. For families with little kids they also have a playground though I’m not sure if I should recommend it as it’s right in front of the highway.

The owners were quite generous and allowed us to order what we wanted from their menu. Their menu is quite amusing, the photographs looked very yummy but with a disclaimer at the bottom: ‘actual food may differ from the photograph’. hehe. We later found out that the photos were taken by Ms. Celine’s (the owner) brother, Davao’s top photographer Lito Sy, for free. Ms. Celine’s one lucky sister.
