It’s finally feb-fair! wohoo!!! For those who do not know what the february fair is, it is actually like the celebration of UP fair in Diliman.. Here in UPLB, we call it feb-fair!
This year was unlike any other that i’ve experienced.. So much issues with the admin that the students had to rally to actually have this fair possible. It was really an anxiety filled experience. It was a first for me to experience such pickets that the students had to make a human barricade at the UP gate. It was really nice to see that there are still a lot of people who are not apathetic and still care about the democracy of the student body.
So after a long day of picketing, (we started at about 10am and ended at about 6pm) the admin finally gave in.. But there are still some issues to be discussed.. But nonetheless, the greatest governing body of the UP system, prevailed!
By about 7 pm we were already allowed to build our booths (which is already very late because we usually put up our booths in the morning) and about 10:00 pm, we were done with building it.
We’re all very excited for the coming days! The february fair is something that any isko or iska shouldn’t miss. It is only the event where a whole lot of alumni come to elbi. It is actually the highlight of the school year. Most people save their would-have-been absences just for this ocassion.. But of course, we should never forget why there is a february fair in the first place.. and that is to commemorate the protest fair which happened in the time of martial law.
So i’m bored.. What’s new right?
Since i’m bored, i’m actually looking at other people’s profiles. Just looking at their albums and browsing through people who i think are interesting. So i came across some pictures with captions like “enjoying europe” or “in sentosa” or something like that… but all you can see in the picture is a close-up of their face. Wow. that’s kinda weird… more of funny really.. I mean why would you post a cropped picture of your face and put a caption wherein a scenery is required? just weird.
Oh well.. I guess boredom also makes me mean at times.
