University Fun Shoot Series: University of the Philippines

This is the national university of the Philippines founded in 1908.
     
TRIVIA: Every year, on commencement day, graduating U.P. students must have their pictures taken with the sunflowers (which are planted before their graduation day for pictorial purposes on commencement day), otherwise, their graduation is not complete. Of course, it's not taken seriously, but it's a tradition already! I thought it was nice, I saw the sunflowers myself--- very beautiful, all lined up in full bloom, facing the sun! What a shame, I wasn't able to take pictures of it--- :(

When I was still a student at another university, I often came here to visit my sister who at that time was the university's in-house lawyer. And later on, I came here as a student for a Basic Web course, UPITTC.

     Fun shoots in universities always gave me some problems. I am always uneasy doing shoots in school areas because security guards will reprimand you. But I guess, I am such a deviant----because I have a lot of shoots in Universities and schools in my archive =).

 A pathway--- how I love trees!

Me---lackluster and tired :D

     I love the atmosphere of the campus--- fresh air, vast, and green. This is the university of outspoken students who are 'freethinkers'. They voice out their opinions fearlessly, and are active participants of rallies in the country.

     Although I got reprimanded for shooting in the campus, I can say that the rules here are not as strict as in other universities. :)
