Goodbye 2010, Hello 2011!

How was 2010? If I will be asked, well, I have no idea how it was for me. Honestly, I don’t know how to answer such a question, I don’t know if I become better or worse, I just live with it and enjoyed every moments of 2010.

Now I was thinking what made my 2010 extraordinary or incomparable with my other years of existence. Well, this is a bit difficult, I turned 18 this year, though I did not have that kind of party where I have to have 18 roses and all that, it was still something that I will remember because this is the age when you are allowed and are legal to do so many things. Let's see how things went for me.

Hello Christmas! at UPLB

A giant Christmas tree, a two-floor wooden belen, and a statue of Santa Claus in his sleigh and its reindeers, all these in ONE park--the UPLB C-park.

A giant white Christmas tree was located beside the administration building. It was a huge one and I bet is better than 2009’s Christmas tree. With all the lights and shining and shimmering coating of the tree, all eyes are also shining in amazement. There are also houses on both side of the tree, I remembered calling them as “ginger houses” when we took a picture with it because they really look like a ginger house.

Last year’s belen was just a simple one, like any other belen, but 2010’s belen is way more intricate due to the second floor of the belen and the “costumes” of each character. This was the one decor that welcomes people when they enter the campus since it was located at the C-park, to the right of the Christmas tree (if you are facing the Christmas tree).

The center of attraction, I bet, was the Santa Claus decor in his sleigh and his reindeers. It was the most beautiful of all the decors in that park. The lights will really catch your sight if you pass by the park and the way it was put up was really great, I mean, who could have imagined that such decor can be seen in a campus? I also remembered my friends making fun of me, they told me that I should see the decor and look for Rudolph, the reindeer with the red nose, and then I ask them “How on earth will I see Rudolph? They are all the same!”  I even get irritated by them because I thought that they were really making fun of me, but I was wrong. When I looked at the decor closely, i was astounded by the reindeer with the red nose (hahah!).

Too bad there is always someone looking and guarding the decors, and people are already restricted to go near them. In the end, C-park tends to be Christmas park instead of carabao park. Who would have thought that UPLB will be able to put up such decors and will be able to make people feel the Christmas season? Because I did not have any thought of it. I thought that the university does not put too much efforts to such things, but I was wrong. I felt that Christmas was just around the corner whenever I walk by the c-park.
