Life as an Architecture (Fine Arts) Student...and more

One of the best times I had when I was younger was my college years.

The best of both worlds, I got a bit of freedom and  a lot less responsibilities to worry about than now. Those carefree moments when life was stretched out right in front of you. 

I was a student of Interior Design, University of Santo Tomas then, and like Jerald, I can perfectly relate as to what he was talking about regarding plates and endless sleep. Sleeping over at a friend's to finish a plate to be submitted the next day. The cramming. Actually, sleeping over is not actually sleeping but trying to listen late at night on the radio while finishing our plate with cups after cups of coffee to keep us awake. Alarming our mobiles to make sure that we are informed when the time is almost running out or in case we accidentally slept out of sheer exhaustion. 

Graduation was both a happy and sad occasion. Happy to see that we are somewhat in the finish line for school days but sad when we realized that we won't be seeing as much of our friends as we were used to.

I didn't have someone significant during my college years but I would really be swept off my feet if my boyfriend did this during our graduation...

It was a real treat to see Beato Angelico in the video. It was quite new when we left for graduation. The familiar hang out tables and chairs as well as the new uniforms. I feel like it was so long ago... Thanks for this video, it somewhat transported me back to my yesteryear as a Fine Arts Student.

To Jerald and Angela, I don't know you but I definitely wish you all the best

Krazy about Garlic?

The first group I met up once I arrived was my college classmates in UST. An overnight and a dinner with the girls to catch up on each others lives... 

Of course, Kimi was with us during that girls afternoon till next morning get together :) 

I am so proud to say that Kimi was really behaved during the 14 hour flight from Manila and during get togethers. I was a bit scared of travelling on my own with a toddler but I can finally say that she is ready to go places with mommy :) Yey!

I am sad to say though that my pictures of the food was gone because of an accidental water spill to my netbook :(.

Secret Santa revealed...

One of my oldest friendship are the FC group... It is composed of seven ladies who met in college and formed a lasting friendship despite the distance and time...

As of the present, we are scattered into 4 countries. 2 in Manila, Philippines, 2 in US of A, 2 in Dubai and of course, me, in Canada.

Despite the distance and our busy schedules, we managed to make a kris kringle for Christmas 2009...

I got my kris kringle present a few days ago via my brother :)

Thanks Kc :)

I actually opened 2 of the gifts and reserved the others for Christmas day :)

I love the Postpartum Recovery Kit and the Car seat wrap for Kenzo :)

In College, I was fortunate to meet 6 ladies that would be my good friends up until now...

We met at University of Santo Tomas taking Interior Design. Our bonding was through the endless nights of finishing our plates (drawings) in one place and listening to the radio station (RX93.1) to battle sleepiness...

FC :) w/ Bruce

Twelve years in the friendship, we are now leaving in different places...(Dubai, U.S., Canada and Philippines). We managed to get in touch through our yahoo group and in 2005, we did friendship blog. It is a collection of entries about our friendship and what is happening to each of us. We manage to maintain our yahoo group but was unable to keep up with the blogging...

I am so happy that we are reviving our FC BLOG :)

To us, more good memories and to the best friendship there is! CHEERS!
