Ateneo de Manila University was my home for about 3/5 of my years in college. During my first two years, I spent it in a dorm outside campus. On my last year, I spent it in a rented condo unit. This was my view of the campus from that unit.

On my fifth and final year of college, this was the hallway that led to my regular classes, my improv classes, my favorite drinking fountain, and the place where I adopted my pet rock.

Ditto: The Pop Up, Katipunan

This shot and the one before of the same place were really just me testing out the low-light capabilities of ISO 800 Lomography Color Film.

My point of view from our table at The Pop Up. While this place is known to most as a place to drink, I know it as the place where I went to with two of my favorite people to get ice cream wrapped in roti bread. Some of my fondest memories before the COVID-19 pandemic hit were going out with those two in our pajamas in the middle of the night to get sweets.

I am no longer as close to those two as I used to be.

The Science Education Complex (SEC) buildings at ADMU are divided into four sections: SEC A, SEC B, SEC C, and SEC Walk. During my first year of college, I got lost in SEC Walk (seen in the picture) on my way to my Chemistry class in SEC C. Not sure where to go, I asked a passing student, "Where's SEC C?" He pointed to himself and said, "Right here." The joke was that "SEC C" sounds like "sexy." I’ll never forget that moment, nor will I ever forgive that student, since I ended up more than 15 minutes late.

I understand that forgiving & forgetting is not easy, that bad people should be liable & pay for their crimes.

But to be hostile & to reject the dictator's daughter, who was just a little child at the time & had nothing to do with his crimes...

Aren't you now being the bad one? Just ignore her & don't make a fuss. 🙄

The university president had to issue an apology for her presence?? Wow. 😶 The event wasn't even about #politics. It's about #art! 😡
