UP CSA 45h Anniversary Alumni Homecoming

Sunday, February 1, 2009

We finally pulled it off! I’m so happy. Yesterday was the alumni homecoming for the UP Chinese Student Association. Even letsgosago.net was there! Yay him. 

So anyway, 3 months before the event, our Alumni Homecoming head resigned without prior warning because, according to her, she wanted to focus on her studies. Mind you, the alumni homecoming head is not appointed. You run for the position.   

Panic mode ON.   

It was really fun. A table cost us 12,000. And people only had to pay 500 for the food. That’s cheap. Seriously. 

We gave away car stickers and tumblers too. And we had raffles and speakers and everything! 

FAIRY LUI = awesome musician.  

Teresita Ang Sy = thick-skinned.  

I’m not necessarily saying it in a bad way but she told us, “I didn’t join UP CSA before (she was also a UP alumni) because I couldn’t stand them.” 

According to her, they thought themselves superior to the locals, blah. Right in front of her were CSA alumni with graying hair. I just hope to heaven that none of them was her batchmate.  

Frankly, I’m against any kind of racism but I believe that you can’t really blame them. Our history tells us that there was a time that the Chinese were looked down upon by Filipinos. 

Contempt (if you can call it that) only serves to breed more contempt. Anger breeds more anger; and racism just breeds even more.   

So it must stop somewhere.

Stalking Tiffy

Tiffany Chua a student from UP diliman, studying so she can learn how to read your mind. Who loves yellow and orange, and has a blatant love affair with Hello Kitty. Oh! And she also loves wasabi -- which disgust people.


And while she loves the study of Psychology, she's currently an exchange student at Nagoya Gakuin University so that she can learn how to watch Japanese dramas without the subtitles.
