It always nice to go back to a place where you know you belong.
I've spent 5 years of my life studying in España, Manila -where a small amount of rain will lead to ankle-high water. For some odd reason, I missed those times - walking slowly on flooded streets making sure to avoid stepping on a manhole, the free Jollibee treats if you end up stranded inside UST campus. Aside from the flood-related incidents, I missed my college friends and professors more. It's been seven long years since I have graduated to my beloved school - University of Santo Tomas and it's been two years since I last visited. I miss the school's concrete paths, the carpark stalls, the Santo Tomas ice cream, the scent of freshly trimmed grass, the calmness that I felt whenever I set my foot on the steps of UST Chapel. I missed everything! If I were given the another chance of college life, I think I would still love to be a Thomasian! :)
It's drizzling yesterday when I came to visit and got a copy of my TOR. After some time, the drizzle stopped and I decided to take a walk, eat some breakfast and took some shots! I wasn't able to bring my digicam but I got my ever trusted Nokia 5610d-1. :)
It's definitely nice to get my feet back on UST grounds!
