eLBi BLOGS

My happy-level went low today while I am in foreign shores. And for that, allow me to speak in my native tongue.

Hindi naman kasi ito Elbi. Na kung na-homesick ka na, mag-aabang ka lang ng bus na pa-Cubao sa may Olivares. Na kung atat na atat ka nang umuwi, pwede mong iharang ang sarili mo sa bus para lang huminto ito, aura mismo.

Hindi ito Elbi. Na kung bored ka na, lalakad ka lang sa Grove, ma-eentertain ka na ng buong LB community. Na kung nababaliw ka na, pwede mong kahulan ang asong dumadaan sa harap mo. Na kung gusto mong mag-emote, pupunta ka lang sa field, Carabao Park, o sa likod ng Lib.

Hindi naman kasi ito Elbi. Na kung gusto mo ng makaka-mingle, tatambay ka lang sa Hum steps. Na kung nangungulila ka sa company ng pamilya, may berks na dadamay sa iyo. Na kung wala kang makausap, uupo ka lang sa L-bench, makakahanap ka rin ng ka-chika.

Hindi ito Elbi. Na kung nararamdaman mo ang emptiness ng dorm mo, pwede kang mag-jeep papuntang F.O. at mangatok ng dorm sa Chino’s. Na kapag sad ka, stressed, o nag-p-PMS lang, pwede kang mang-crash ng ibang dorm at saka mag-moment.

Hindi nga kasi ito Elbi.

Congratulations to Nielsen and others whose articles made it to the Philippine Daily Inquirer’s “100 Kwentong Peyups“. Da best talaga ang eLBi. Syempre pati na rin mga taga-eLBi

Suspect #3: Yung inuman.
Suspect #4 Yung mga tao.

Palista na po tayo…

If you are a UP student or alumni and you want your blog to be listed in our blog directory, just post a comment with your full name, course and year of graduation, and the URL of your blog.

We hope to list at least 100 alumni and 100 student bloggers in time for the UP Centennial.

Sana madaming taga-eLBi ang makapagpalista don

May padyak power na din ba sa eLBi? Kung wala pa sana may mag-initiate na rin.

Dear UP Alumni and friends,

The UP Padyak Project was started by the UP Mountaineers members and alumni to give back to the University of the Philippines during its
centennial celebration. The project is an environmental advocacy that promotes biking as a means of transportation, which helps reduce air pollution, lessen dependence on fossil fuels, and promotes a healthy lifestyle in the UP Diliman campus.

Since the summer of 2008, through funding support of several UPMountaineers, using the principle of padugo, bikes were purchased and provided to students. These bikes are reconditioned, one-speed, have a step-through frame, and are designed for utility and safety and not for speed. UP alumni from
the College of Fine Arts helped in designing creative bike disks and scuptural bike racks that allow all bike commuters to park their bikes and enliven the campus through public art.

Since the first semester opened this June, the list of students requesting for more bikes is growing, and there are limits to the initial set of funds that we have internally generated.

We seek your support and the support of UP Alumni in sustaining the Padyak Project. We would like to grow this project. Eventually, we want to go beyond the confines the campus. Cycling, in this era of permanent high oil prices, serious air pollution, and deteriorating public health, makes perfect sense.

A donation of P4000 can purchase one bike, a donation of P5000 can fabricate and install a bike rack. Any form of help will be appreciated, especially those that can assist in the maintenance of bikes and bike advocacy. Old bikes, spare parts, tools, etc. that you want to get rid of will also be of help.

We also appreciate your comments, advice, ideas, and words of encouragement.

For those who are interested in supporting the UP Padyak Project, please contact: padyakbikes@ gmail.com or visit http://www.padyak.org.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely yours,
The UP Mountaineers.

Along with a group of UP bloggers, we have come up with a special project for the UP Centennial Month this coming June. It’s called “UP@100: Capturing 100 UP Moments“ - It is a Music Video Project which will compile 100 photos and videos from participants consisting UP alumni and students. It aims to capture 100 unique UP moments from 100 different points of view in the past 100 years of the University’s existence.

Sali na mga kasama!
