Only in UP! Hehe...
Running around the school stark naked in one of UP's busiest buildings is every guy's nightmare. But for the hundreds of people (85% girls, 10% media, 5% guys/gays)... it's pure entertainment. This is probably one of the reasons why UP is the most controversial school around. APO fraternity's neophytes run around the building showcasing their hoo hoos, as part of their initiation into the frat... It's shameless I know... but hey, it's tradition!
It was super traffic along Katipunan today! It was going to be my first time to see a bunch of naked men live, and very much publicized. My friends and I agreed to meet at the AS steps at precisely 11 am... and I arrived at 11:30... only to find the entire building chock full of people! Security, and media were everywhere, not to mention the bazillion girls who wanted to take a peek at something you don't see everyday. The place was packed with people, so it was freaking hot! (Kinda like a rock concert). Loadsa people brought cameras, video recorders, the works! I found it amusing at how many people would actually go through so much trouble just to see something like this!
Sadly, because of the loads of people, I only managed to get a glimpse of the running hoo hoos rushing by. Uh... to put it frankly, I FINALLY realized why the higher batches say that one Oblation Run for anybody is enough. Really, there was NOTHING to see! (*Hint Hint*) Hahaha.
After the crowds subsided and me and my friends hit the ladies'washrooms for touchups...me and Friaz headed off to the tiangge areas, to get some henna tatoos done. I got a butterfly chain tatoo done on my lower back, and another butterfly tattoo at the back of my neck. Friaz got a free "sun" tattoo on her left leg... and afterwards, we took alot of photos with my digicam... just in time for the lantern parade at 4:30.
It was my first lantern parade, and I've never experienced a fiesta in my whole life.. So this was my first time to see papier maches of cartoon characters, huge colorful lanterns, bands, and faculty people in embarrassing cotumes (bikinis etc...) Hehe... It was pure shameless fun! It was as if the entire university turned into a preschool, with college students laughing their hearts out, scrambling to get the candy thrown at them. The entire scene reminded me of the Festival of Fools from the cartoon of Hunchback of Notre Dame (which I so adored when I was a kid).
I really am enjoying college life. I really am... and I don't have any regrets whatsoever. Studying in UP is sooo much fun! How many other universities can boast an Oblation Run and a lantern parade? Hmmm....
