AG00095_.gif (6822 bytes)Getting accepted in the  UNIVERSITY OF SANTO TOMAS was a huge step for everyone.  We got through the entrance exa,minations, personal interviews(ANO???!!!) AG00039_.gif (3587 bytes) that made us wonder if we really wanted this that bad.    Nevertheless, we completed and submitted the necessary requirements and thought of nothing but the words  -
"I AM IN!!!!"  PASOK!!!!!  OK!!!!!  THIS IS IT!!!!!   HEHEHEHE!!!!!  ISANG KUROT NGA!!!!  AT BAKA AKO NANAGINIP!!! YEAH!!!!!! WOW!!!!   UST- PT.... 
JUNE1987 - this was the moment !!!AG00101_.gif (4417 bytes) Remember the line?? - "You are the cream of the crop!"  on the first few weeks??.   (HUH!!!???!!!)    We had hoped to get occasional reprieve during   semestral breaks , holidays and summer vacations.
BUT that was to be the SIGN for the TIMES to come.   This meant that for FOUR YEARS we would be hitting the books and studying AG00030_.gif (5181 bytes)until our eyeballs would pop out of their sockets(ARAY!!!).   It meant serious business knowing that we would be introduced to Mr. Comparative Anatomy, Professor Philosophy and Ms. Psychology.  What about Dr. Physiology along with her husband Mr. Neurology.? ( A fine pair, we might dare say!)  Hey , remember the BUFF Mr. Thera-Ex.??  Have we forgotten anyone else? (Madami sila - hindi ko na maalala kung sino ang nauna!   hehehehe .. Litong- lito na ako!)
Pop quizzes, midterms, practicals, lectures were to be the daily dosage for everyone AG00007_.gif (7458 bytes)(like it or not - we needed them!)  The dreaded REVALIDA!!!!!   AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!   STRESS was synonymous to PHYSICAL THERAPY.  All we wanted  and yearned for was to make it and be the best.
Did we have lives then?  How did we do it?   BALANCE!!!!!!!  AG00023_.gif (6280 bytes)- the key to everything. 
STRENGTH !!!! AG00019_.gif (6878 bytes) - of mind and body was a PLUS.
We developed our entire being by being holistic with our approach.  We have memories - tons of them .
Here are some  PICTURES to show how we dealt with the daily pressures,  problems , situations and just about anything with regards to what was important to us - our studies, friends, families and matters of the heart.. and soul.
Have fun reminiscing and re-discover life before GRADUATION ( Adulthood, Maturity and Reality)
