Finally, it's nice that I'm back here and blogging again after while... Been a busy week since it was finals period and had a lot of papers to submit, plus my thesis proposal. I know I've got a lot more to do but in the meantime, now that my exam's over, I can just relax and enjoy myself now that it's my Christmas sembreak. Yep, it is both my Christmas and sembreak and next time I'll be going back to class will be this January. Hopefully it's gonna be happy days ahead with Christmas in the air.
And speaking of Christmas, yesterday I went back to school to attend the lighting of the Campus decorations. I won't focus on the personal details, like hanging out with friends, just the lighting and the decors. Before the campus turned on its lights at about 6, there was this short program and blessing. Right after, there was a dance performance (by UST Salinggawi I assume) and a fireworks display. And then, the moment we all waited for, the campus lights turned on much to everyone's delight. Beautiful lights as always. UST really is a Christmas Wonderland, much like those that you see in pics. After the lighting, there was a mini concert at the Benavides park.

Now, behold UST's Christmas decors... (as seen from my good and not-so-good pics)

| Not much decors on the Main Building. Still nice though... |

| "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas..." This is probably the closest thing to it. :) |

I notice every year though, there seems to be less lights. Before there were a lot of lights everywhere. Now, not so much, most of it being concentrated at the lover's lane. Even the Main Building this year didn't have much lights on. Probably the biggest change though is the Christmas tree. Before, it was always next to the grandstand. Now, it's in a corner of the field near The Arch. Even with all that, it was an amazing sight. Hopefully I'll be heading to Paskuhan which will be celebrated this year on December 8, 2014. In the meantime, it's best that I enjoy my sembreak and the holidays...
With that, I'm done. Thanks for checking and happy holidays! :D
