I've been to UP Diliman more times than I can count. No. It's not because I graduated here. Sometimes, I go there just to take a weekend morning walk, buy myself fruit shake or just drop by at the church.

My love for UP started way back in 2014 when a friend showed me around. On the first day I set foot on the school campus, I immediately fell in love to the place.

Here's a collection of photos over the years to explain why:

YOU GET TO BE WITH NATURE

In an area where traffic and noise pollution is an everyday occurence, it is always nice to visit a place that gives you peace and serenity despite being in the midst of the busy world.

It may not be the same for everybody. But for me, I can go to UP anytime just to sit their at the sunken garden, watch how the branches of the trees seem to reach out to each other, be amazed at how the lotus flowers thrive in the area and then I would feel better...like I am at a place I was meant to be from the beginning.

Thank you for dropping by. ❤

All the best! {always}
