Worst Paskuhan Ever? 2019

December 25, 2019 0
Worst Paskuhan Ever? 2019







Can I just say that we’ve waited more than 3 hours to get in the university because of the poor system of security check thingy outside. Like, 3 hours!!! What the heck? I would have been able to ride the T-Express at least twice. Or go to Hong Kong. IDK. I don’t know if they lack security or whatnot but yeah it was crap.









The line outside was horrible! Like we had to go from P. Noval gate to España and to P. Noval again just to enter the campus. That’s how long the lines were. There were three lines to and from the starting point and my sister and I went thru all of that only to find out that when we were already on the main line going in, those who just queued, already joined those who are on the main line and I was like, it can’t get any more unfair than this. My sister and I was actually very concerned for those who are on that line when we were in the middle of it all only to find out they’d be able to go in first. Ang kapal lang ng mukha. The young lady in front of me kept shouting “kuya guard, kaya ba today?” . Lots of respect to those who waited patiently in line though. Mabuhay! Wag tayong garapal tulad ng iba. 










But! We were able to get in just before the fireworks. I’d probably explode if we weren’t able to go in but since the fireworks display was delayed for about 45 minutes, we made it. Ha! 










This year’s theme is inspired by Harry Potter and I have a huge liking for it so thank goodness because I’d really lose it, you know. 






We were able to hear two songs from Ben and Ben inside so yeah. 






Fireworks was amazing as usual








This is the best I’ve seen the Christmas Tree so far. Me likey. 












So much for #ZEROWASTE though. It’s not just the organizer’s fault whatsoever. It’s the people who were there. The lines to start with. People have no discipline and respect for those who lined up properly just to get in. People have no respect for those who’re gonna clean their trash. I don’t know where you guys came from but if you’re a THOMASIAN, shame on you. 











The Paskuhan lights was pretty as usual but I just wish I was able to see all of this before I was really pissed. I probably would have appreciated this more. I wouldn’t say I had fun though. But it was still a beautiful event. Well except for the unreasonable long lines and the trash people left. That’s all!

UST Paskuhan 2017 | King of Kings




Paskuhan 2017, btches! Can I just point out to everyone that I think I’m getting a little bit old for this sht but anyways. Also, red face. Deal with it. The rampa must go on! 



Claim It!


But you know, the PUDRA wants the sister to go to La Salle instead of UST which I don’t have anything against but ya know! I guess I’d be happier if she goes to UST too. I’m just saying. 





Imbued with Unending Grace




Thomasian



Illumination is real! I’m not sure if my standards got higher from all the illuminations I’ve been going to but I’m pretty sure I’ve seen UST lights better before. Actually I’m not sure. Hear me. If you’re currently studying in UST and let’s say you’re from class. You’ll definitely see this lights differently for sure. I hear you! 


Yas! 


We actually arrived 7-ish because of this imbyerna Tricycle Driver. Anyways, when we arrived, Silent Sanctuary was already playing so I was like, what is this sorcery? Good job, UST though for being able to keep up with the schedule. I’ve heard what happened to Grace Note last year so yeah. Fireworks time!!!





It actually rained!! I was like, not today Rain. Not today.


yas! 



While we’re at it, can I just mention that UST Paskuhan’s theme this year is Game of Thrones which I don’t know anything about but it’s all good! 





Also, during the Firework’s Display, the rain kinda stopped so that’s nice. 




UST Fireworks, as always, never fail to amaze me.




Main Building



This reminds me of Roppongi’s Illumination theme this year. Blue and amber. 




Altar 



Even though I was there for only 4 hours, I actually enjoyed UST Paskuhan 2017. Callalily was great! That’s all!

UST in December

UST in December
So I have told you guys about my previous will to visit my favorite alma mater and guess what? I have accomplished that days after that wish. Pretty proud of my self LOL. Anyways. As expected, it's enchanted and just beautiful as it is. I actually thought that it would be a little bit more peaceful though but anyways. The thing is they were actually having an event so we stopped for a while.

Main Building

I prefer seeing the Main Building on its own but since they were having a program and the stage is like at the center, I failed. But it was still beautiful as always.


I actually don't know if I am more impressed now or last year but thing is they have a different theme sort of each year but there's just some things worth appreciating than others that's all I can say.

Quadricentennial 
Oh anyways as I was telling you guys awhile ago, there was like a center stage set up right? My cousin and I were like, what is this sorcery? So when we read the tarpaulin thingy that they have there, I instantly saw SPONGE COLA! And you know what that means! I may have told you that they are my fave BAND and yeah I was like, this day is meant to be.

Yael of Sponge Cola
It was a solid 4 song gig that we enjoyed so much and it has been a while since I had a gig with them. I think it was actually when I had an accidental gig so yeah.


I think this is my favorite part because this is just pretty and like people are just everywhere and who doesn't love to see people? Me. But that's besides the point. They have like pretty lanterns and lights.

What is this though?
Seriously they have like a lot of this and I was like, what? Why? LOL. It was nice to see them though. I mean kind of refreshing to see something different almost.

Cat with the unknown thing
You gotta have your green!
JUMP SHOT :))
I think besides watching the bands, we spend our time mostly by taking the perfect jump shots and trust me, I have a lot of fail jump shots and it made us laugh for a good amount of time. LOL.

the infamous Christmas Tree
I think this is like the closest I got to the tree on an ordinary day. Let me just make it clear that it's not actually a tree. It's like a woody thing set up and they somehow managed to make that triangular thing that looks like a tree. I make no sense. But I know you understand. Thanks. 

UP CLOSE
Again, I don't what each of these means. It looks like a smiling lips though. Or a double banana for that matter. LOL. I therefore conclude that it's better just to look at it than to interpret.

Purty!
Mi
I really enjoyed roaming around and just walking and looking at the lights and stuff. It's actually a bonus since I don't have exams to think about and stuff so yeah. As I've said, I don't want to compare it from last year or like the past 4 years of decorations because yeah it's just different and incomparable each year. I'm now officially excited for Pasukan 2013 to happen. I bet it's gonna be awesome. See yah later!

Paskuhan 2012.

Paskuhan 2012.
Guess what? If you can remember, or did I even tell you? I actually forgot to charge my camera last Pasukan (2011). And then I promised myself that I'm not gonna make the same mistake again. I then charged my batteries and all that and then when I first opened the camera, NO MEMORY CARD INSERTED. WTF? Talk about luck. Like, what the fudge. So what did I do?


All thanks to my iPhone.


So that's what happened. Anyways. Good thing my cousin brought her camera so yeah. All is good.


It's actually quite unlucky for me because I kind of wanted to be in front but like, this is the best spot we can find. And it's even that near. But I must say that this spot is the nearest spot we could get so whatever.


This is us. Like, only the three of us this time. Our other friend should also be with us but she wasn't able to find us so whatever.


Sister is happy. LOL.


 She was actually bored and just got excited when the much anticipated FIREWORKS DISPLAY happened. And then got bored and just got excited when SPONGE COLA performed. 


I decided to introduce them to my new favorite street food. DYNAMITE. My cousin liked it. My sister, not much. But whatever. She doesn't like a whole lot of food anyways.


Another sister and I photo.


The ever blurry but happy picture of my cousin and I. Oh wells. That's life.


I actually insisted that we should like take pictures here because the lights are so gorge. Okay now for my feels. I actually enjoyed it. And probably just like my sister's, I have to thank the FIREWORKS and SPONGE COLA for uplifting my spirit. Because I was kind of bored a little bit. But anyways overall, it was fun. This is probably gonna be my last Paskuhan for quite a while and yeah, I'm just so happy that I made the most out of it. Or at least I can say that.
