FOR UPD INCOMING FRESHMEN : UP Linggo 101 (Jargons)
- Acad Oval /ah-kad-o-val/ Ang acad oval ay isang sikat na main street dito sa Diliman Republic. Pumapalibot sa Lagoon at Sunken Garden, ito ang paboritong destinasyon ng mga joggers na nagpapapayat, mga babaeng gusto lang isabay ang pangangarir sa jogging, at ni Zorro na bigla bigla na lamang sumisigaw ng “Ganda mo!” to random strangers. Sinasabing tumatakbo si rin dito si Papa Piolo tuwing Tuesday nights. ;)
- Add Mat /ad-mat/ o Change Mat /tseynj-mat/ Ang Form 26A. Ito ang kailangan mong kunin kung may gusto ka pang i-enlist o papalitan na subject pagkatapos magbayad ng tuition. Kukuha ka nito kung may conflicting class ka, kung chaka ang prof mo o kung may uber-HOT guy kang balak i-stalk sa kabilang section.
- AS /ey-es/ Meaning Arts and Sciences; ito ang dating pangalan ng Palma Hall. Dito kadalasan kinukuha ang GE subjects. Kaya habang batang-bata ka pa, ito ang magiging home mo for the next two years. That is, unless…
- AS Lobby /ey-es-luh-bee/ The heart of AS. Maraming rallies, exhibits at other student activities ang ginaganap dito. Popular rin itong tambayan ng mga walang klase o ng mga walang org.
- AS Steps /ey-es-steps/ Ito ang main entrance ng As. Siguraduhing rumampa dito kapag good-hair-day ka dahil may mga tumatambay dito na hot dudes at chicks.
- AWOL /ah-wol/ Absence Without Official Leave. Ginagawa ng mga estudyanteng gusto yatang sumunod sa yapak ni Houdini. Iwasang gawin ito, baka tuluyan ka nalang magdisappear sa UP; mag LOA nalang kung talagang kinakailangan.
- Blue book /bloo-book/ Mabibili sa maraming kiosks sa kampus. Kadalasang ginagamit kapag may exam. Pwede rin itong gamiting notebook though.
- CASAA /ka-sa-ah/ Makikita sa gitna ng AS at PHAN. College of Arts and Sciences Alumni Association ang ibig sabihin nito. Ito ang food court ng UP Diliman.
- Cine Adarna /see-neh-a-dar-nah/ Kilala rin sa tawag na Film Institute, makakanuod ka dito ng murang reruns and fully-uncensored films dahil walang powers ang MTRCB dito. Achib! May mga linggong nagpapalabas sila ng libreng Japanese Films, Italian Films, etc.
- Coño /konyo/ Sosyalero/a. Tila mga nilalang mula sa Ateneo na naligaw sa UP; hilig nila ang makipagtagisan sa Ingles na kinda baluktot.
- CRS /si-ar-es/ Computerized Registration System (http://crs.upd.edu.ph). Ito ang mala-lotto na online way na pag-enlist ng subject sa UP. Dito ka pipili ng subjects na hindi mo naman pala makukuha. Pinanganak kang swerte kung nakuha mo ang mga iyon.
- Cum Laude /koom-law-de/ You’ll be sure to graduate cum laude kung mapanatili mong 1.45-1.75 ang GWA mo hanggang grad. Goodluck!
- CS /si-es/ (1) College Scholar - Ibig sabihin ang GWA mo sa isang semester ay 1.45 to 1.75. At title lang siya, dahil hindi ka naman makakalibre ng tuition kung CS ka. Belat.
(2) College of Science - dito hinohold ang Nat Sci and STS classes. Winner ang airconditioned rooms dito, conducive for sleeping!- Delayed /deh-leyd/ Kapag hindi ka gagraduate kasabay ng mga original batchmates mo. May be due to any of the following reasons: 1) bagsak ka sa subject/s; 2) nagshift ka; 3) nabuntis ka. Congratulations!
- DQ /dee-kyu/ Deliquent. Self explanatory. Mag-aral ka para tumaas ang acad standing mo. Tigilan na ang pagfa-Facebook!
- Drop /drop/ This is the smartest thing to do kung alam mong tagilid ka na sa klase mo in the middle of the sem, pero kung kaya pang bumawi at mapataas ang grade, mas mabuti. Kung tinatamad ka lang pumasok kaya gusto mong magdrop, magisipisip ng maigi: sayang ang pagod at tuition mo!
- FC /ef-see/ Faculty Center. Ang gusali sa tabi ng AS kung saan huhuntingin yung mga (terror!) prof mo. Galingan ang pagmamakaawa. May canteen din sa basement nito.
- Form 5 /form-fayv/ Ito ang passport mo sa sngka-UP-han. Ebidensya ito na enrolled ka, kaya keep it safe at ALL times. Mawala ka na, wag lang ang Form 5 mo.
- Freshie /fre-shee/ Uhm, duh. E di ikaw, bagong iskolar ng bayan!
- GE /jee-ih/ General Education. Kailangan mong kumuha ng 5 subjects per domain: MST, AH, at SSP. Go na!
- GWA /jee-wah/ General Weighted Average. This is the sum of your grades that were multiplied by their corresponding units, divided by the total number of units. Ang gulo, right? Matalino ka, intindihin mo.
- Ikot /eeh-kot/ Ang famous jeepney na umiikot sa UP campus, na may yellow na bubong. It has no beginning and no end. Siguraduhing memorize mo ang ruta nito para mabilis kang makapunta sa mga class mo.
- INC /eenk/ Incomplete. Status ng mga subject kung saan may kulang ka pang requirement o baka sadyang attached lang sa’yo ang prof mo. May isang taon ka para ayusin ‘to kung hindi ay mamomorph siya into a SINGKO! Beware.
- Isko o Iska /ees-koh/ o /ees-kah/ Tayo yun, mga iskolar ng bayan! Dahil subsidized ng mamamayan ang pag-aaral natin, responsibilidad natin na pagsilbihan ang bayan. Tayo na.
- Kule /kooh-le/ Ito ang popular na tawag sa The Philippine Collegian, ang official student publication ng UP. Basahin ito para lagi kang updated at mukhang in, bilang lahat halos ng Isko makikita mo meron nito.
- Kuwatro /kwa-tro/ Conditional grade ito na dapat mong maremove within a year. Either 3 (yehey!) or 5 (sorry, better luck next time) lang ang grade mo dito.
- TCG /teeh-see-jee/ True Copy of Grades. Pwede kang kumuha nito sa iyong kolehiyo, at nakalista dito ang lahat ng grades mo sa bawat subject.
- Tibak /tee-bahk/ Play on the word aktibista. Mga taong madalas mong makikita sa mga rally, demonstration, forum at iba pang mass action.
- Toki /toh-kee/ “Ikot” read backwards. Pero di naman siya necessarily kabaligtaran ng Ikot route. Ito ang madalas na sinasakyan ng mga estudyante tungo sa liblib na Math building. Ang goleng goleng noh?
- Tres /tres/ Pasang-awa grade. At least you passed! Just think that you will never see a grade as lovely as a three!
- Uno /ooh-no/ Ang minimithing grade, ang rurok ng tagumpay. Collect as much as you can!
- US /yu-es/ University Scholar. Tawag sa mga taong nerd, walang social life, killjoy, masisipag, mahilig magdala at magbasa ng limang kilong bigat na libro, at wala masyadong friends…o pwede rin yung likas lang talaga na matatalino. Ito ang tawag sa’yo kapag 1.0 to 1.45 ang GWA mo sa isang sem. If consistent US ka, malamang ay gagraduate kang Summa o Magna. IKAW NA.
- USC /yu-es-see/ University Student Council. Mga elected student officials na nangangalaga sa interes ng mga studyante. Hot na hot ang labanan dito tuwing pa-end na ang second sem. For more lang!
REPOST: [UPD] Girls beware. Please repost this or tell as many people as you can about it.
reposted. original on FB.
Totoy’s post reminded me of what I encountered a few years back. I’ve told this story to a couple of people already so that no one will fall prey to this man but this will be the first time that I’m going to post this online.
A few years ago, I was crossing the road near CASAA. A gray car stopped in front of me and the driver rolled down his window. He asked me for directions to the College of Science. So I told him and he expressed confusion. Sabi niya “Puwedeng samahan mo na lang ako?” I don’t know why but I considered helping him out and as I took a step towards the passenger’s side of the car, I remembered the girl who was raped in UP. I lied and told him I still have class and I was already running late. He insisted still and told me he’ll drop me off to wherever I need to go after. When I said no again, he looked irritated and left.
I texted a few of my girl friends about what happened because it felt weird. One of them replied and asked me if he was driving a gray Honda. I said no, it was a dark gray Lancer I think. She asked “Maputi ba siya? Chubby at mukang mabait?” She was right and I quickly realized that something’s up. She told me that the person’s name is Mike. One of her friends was asked by that guy about directions too. I think it was Shopping Center. Once the girl was inside, this guy started telling stories about himself and then he asked if he could masturbate in front of that girl. The girl asked to be dropped off and he obliged. Another friend told me the same thing happened to another person she knows and that his name was Mike too.
A few months after that, I saw him again at the same spot and he asked me again for directions. He was using a different vehicle. It was now a silver box type car. This time, it was the Shopping Center he was asking about. I quickly gave him wrong direction and told him to follow the road of the Acad Oval. He asked “Hindi ba ako dapat liliko kahit san?” He knew I was giving him a wrong answer. I memorized his plate number then. I can’t recall it now but I remember that the numbers were either 655 or 665. I texted my friends again about it.
The next school year, I saw him in front of Kamia Residence Hall while I was waiting for an Ikot jeep. Sabi niya “Miss, puwedeng magtanong?” I looked him straight in the eye, raised my eyebrow and said a firm no. I got on an Ikot and we were moving behind him. I was going to NCPAG so it was a pretty long ride. I observed him and noticed that he would only stop if a girl is walking by herself. He stopped at Sampa, College of Educ, BA, Econ, IC and SC and went the other way when he couldn’t get any girl to talk to him. He passed by a lot of SSBs and he didn’t stop and ask them for directions.
When I got to class, I was shaking because I realized that in those 2 yrs, he may have had a few girls in his car because he still hasn’t stopped. I asked my professor for a few minutes so I could tell the class about it. I can’t really file a report to the police becuase he didn’t do anything to me, and I cannot really ask the other girls to speak up. My prof told me that we shouldn’t wait for something bad to happen and we should at least tell someone from the college’s office about it. After class we went to the office and I told them the story and gave them the plate number.
After this, I heard another horrible story from one of my friends about a guy named Mike. I guess they still haven’t caught him or something. I knew I should’ve posted this a long time ago but I kept relegating it to the attic of bad memories. I think he only roams around UP but I’m pretty sure he’s not the only one doing this and I’m sure UP is not the only place where things like this happen so please tell as many people as you can about this.
Wow, OK.

When I contemplated on the greatness of God, I marveled at the very details of nature as well as the vastness of the universe. It couldn’t be created at random.

Mario Testino’s photo of Will & Kate for the royal wedding’s official program.
Cute.
Loving the simplicity of this photo. Would like to have my own version of this sometime. :>
(via whateverpat)
“UP made you in such a way that when the people of the world are sitting, you would be standing, and when the world is standing, you’ll stand out. And when the world stands out, you’ll be outstanding. And when the world dares to be outstanding, you’ll be the standard.”
—This excites me. :>
