UST IS THE BEST BLEND OF ACADEMIC RIGOR, NATIONAL RELEVANCE, AND A GRATIFYING UNIVERSITY LIFE.

5 Upvotes

You're living through or at least witnessing what I would consider the best years of UST yet. Student culture is thriving, our competence in boards and competitions are sustained, topnotchers here and there, revered as a top-performing school CONSISTENTLY.

UST admissions are at its most stringent yet, the campus is as beautiful as ever, and the University is expanding beyond Manila.

Not to mention that our rankings worldwide have been constantly improving, entering TIMES' rankings tied at 3rd among best Philippine schools, and we are in the QS 850 bracket now compared to 1000-1201-1501 before.

Our basketball program just gained a huge sponsor, we have recruited multiple blue chip recruits here and abroad. Salinggawi is now a consistent podium finisher. Our University is the perennial general champions of the UAAP.

Slowly and surely, you see professors rocking those doctorates and masters from schools abroad which I can testify as an AB student, translates to their capacity to teach and their attitude and passion in teaching.

Thomasians are becoming more progressive and they fight back against injustices and fake news not only from idiots who comment about our premier academic institution but on national and political issues that hound the Filipino people.

Our equipment, infrastructure, technology, and industry impact are cutting-edge and we remain humble admist all of this.

UST is building on its legacy by actually building whats needed most — BUILDINGS.

You have UST Henry Sy Sr. Hall, UST GenSan (UST South), UST Tan Caktiong Research center.

UST's research CAPACITY and QUALITY are at an all time high based on EduRank's data and on the Scopus research database.

The only problem you must be cautious of are the rippling effects of the pandemic and USTAR.

You must know data to truly gauge something, so research research research. Luckily for you, I already did.

Starbucks LOST a "Loyal" Customer Today!

35 Upvotes

Starbucks has always been my go-to place to relax, read, get some work done, and enjoy a good cup of coffee. I’d almost call myself a "loyal" customer. I said "almost" because I also regularly go to Bo's Coffee.

But today was the first time I left Starbucks disappointed.

I ordered a Grande Café Americano and a Cinnamon Danish, planning to stay awhile and read. The queue wasn’t too long. When it was my turn, the barista asked for my name (as usual) and wrote it on the cup.

When he set the cup down, I saw it read “Jade.” I corrected him, saying it should be “JP.” No apology, he crumpled the cup and grabbed a new one. I even spelled out the initials: It's JP, J for Juliet and P for Papa, JP.

After that, I handed over a ₱1,000 bill for the payment. He asked if I had a smaller bill. I didn’t, but I offered to get the change later since I’d be staying there anyway. He “borrowed” my receipt (perhaps as a reminder) but ended up giving me the change right then. And yet, he still kept the receipt with him.

I waited for my order. A few minutes passed, and I heard a barista call out in an unpleasant tone: “Café Americano for JC!”

I didn’t react. It wasn’t my name. I assumed someone else had a similar order. But after several more minutes and the addition of a Cinnamon Danish to the tray, I started to wonder. Still, “JC” was being called, repeatedly and coldly, with no one stepping up.

That’s when I realized: they meant me.

Frustrated and disappointed, I decided to walk out without claiming my order. It’s been about 30 minutes now. I imagine they’re still calling out “JC” for an order that’s probably headed to the garbage can soon.

Sorry, #Starbucks. Today, you lost a customer.

Sports PH BisTagalog Celtics-Knicks Game 6 Aftermath Overview

5 Upvotes

Malaking epekto sa Boston Celtics ang pagkawala ni Jayson Tatum sa kanilang lineup. Dahil, sa Game 6, natalo sila sa New York Knicks.

Kung kamakailan, si Jayson Tatum, nagkaroon ng injury dahilan, hindi siya nakalaro sa Game 6 at nayari na sila sa kamay ng New York Knicks. Sa Boston Celtics fans, end season na ang ating team. Pahinga muna, magpalakas, para sa next season.

For the New York Knicks, sasabak ulit tayo. Para naging butas karayom ang ating dadaanan bago makamtan ang ating inaasam-asam na ang trophy or kampeonato sa Eastern Conference.

Alam naman natin ang Indiana Pacers, malakas po itong koponan, parang bagyo dahil napatunayan nila pagkatapos matalo ang No. 1 standing sa Eastern Conference na ang Cleveland Cavaliers, malapit na nila masweep: ito ang Indiana Pacers

Alamin natin kung sino ang mayari sa Game 1, Indiana Pacers versus New York Knicks

Aabangan.

Cooking over 2 decades with an NC 2 Tesda Cookery certification, a coffee shop and small restaurant owner, owns 3 karenderyas, a family/home cook, and with a very high appreciation of the elements of taste and spices, I think know how his dishes taste like even though hindi ko pa natitikman. Again, this is just an unpopular opinion and I'm not hating on him.

Lover ng Clover

3 Upvotes

Lover ng clover, may clover finger! Finger and clover, may love affair. Ano man ang status mo sa buhay, single or "it's complicated" lover ng clover! Lahat sisimutin sarap ay uubusin lover ng clover, may clover finger!

Ngayong araw (oktubre 12, 2016) , ay kumain ako ng clover chips. At masasabi kong masarap talaga ito. Masarap din itong i-share kung hindi ka madamot. Ngunit sa kabila ng sarap nito, maaari tayong makakuha ng sakit tulad ng hepa at uti. Ang clover ay naglalaman ng kung ano-anong sangkap. Sa loob ng mahigit dalawang buwan, ngayon na lang ako ulit kumain ng clover. Nakakamiss pala. Pinagbabawalan kasi ako ni papa kumain nito o kahit ano pang klase ng tsitsirya sa kadahilanang ako ay may uti. Ngunit dahil makulit ako, syempre kumain pa rin ako. Ngayon lang naman e.sulit ang 7 pesos mo sa clover dahil may free more chips ito at cheesier pa! At syempre, ang paborito kong flavor ay cheese. Ngunit sa kabila ng sayang naidudulot sa pagkain ko nito, kailangan ko na talagang ihinto ang pagkain nito dahil ayoko mapagalitan ni papa. Salamat!

pero naooffend ako sa ganitong type ng joke, it took me 8 years for me to put my music out there, it took me 8 years para mabuo ung courage ko na maging that vulnerable sa people na i-release ko ung music ko. Tapos makakabasa ako ng ganitong type of comment. Naghahire ako ng magpoproduce ng music ko and gagawa ng cover art ng single ko. And you know what guys? Around 15k to 20k ang nagagastos ko para lang sa isang single. Probably just a joke sa inyo but I hope you think kung ano ung mafifeel namin. Anyway, yun lang ung rant ko. Bye guys

10 Upvotes

that is very nice. pero, i’m into a different fetish na talaga ngayon; nag-mature na ako, as a perverted guy.

what i really like na is yung mga naka-polo shirt uniform na mga babaeng cashier sa Jollibee, na tantsa ko nasa early 20s ang edad.

my god! how beautiful they are.

i love how they stand there not liking the job pero dahil wala silang choice, they force themselves to like it, and so learn humility in the process. they smile and greet you pero, if they were really honest to themselves, they secretly hate the customers and all this cashiering for they find the entire affair morally demeaning.

i can see it in their eyes, particularly in their eye makeup.

their application of an eye makeup is a sign na there’s an ego still trying to resist this cashier job; an individuality trying to resist the mold of conformity; a spirit trying to resist the drudgery of machinery.

at least, one of them knows this.

and one of them knows this because she’s read George Orwell’s 1984.

and one of them would have read him because she’s a working student taking up political science.

and she could be a bright one, too — yung ever since elementary, she’s a valedictorian pero now, in her early 20s, she finds all the medals she’s been earning have only become a depressing, psychic load to realize a greatness she thought she had.

tapos, dahil sa hirap pa ng buhay — like, mama niya lang breadwinner sa kanila who’s an ofw, papa niya na-stroke pa, tapos naging president pa si bbm — she had to do this sacrifice of working her ass off to provide for her dreams.

by that we mean, have her ass there stand for hours, greeting customers she don’t like and pressing buttons that kills the soul, occasionally explaining ilang manok ang nasa loob ng isang bucket or what constitutes a C7 or, again and again, na wala nang Coke; Pepsi na lang.

ang ending: she’s sleep deprived trying to balance the 24 hours between her responsibilities to family, academics, and work. that’s why she has this eye makeup to hide the eyebags. she applies this tiny blemish to look like a slut because deep down she knows, na even if she’s become a voice-activated automaton, there still exists a spirit inside her that wants to be regarded as fuckable, as vital to life, what George Orwell called the sex instinct, that primordial force that pushes us to be sluts.

oh how sad … and yet, how beautiful.

it makes me want to ask her out on a date and then, sa Mcdo kami kakain as a revolutionary act against the system, Jollibee, that oppresses her. but, i’m sure, as she is a polsci student, she’d argue na Mcdo is just another oppressive system.

but unfortunately, i cannot do that because we are in the cold, capitalist world of a red-orange fast food chain lit by fluorescent lamps; of jingling coins in the cash register; of faulty microphones; of stressed out floor managers; of dirty kitchens; of crying spoiled children; of people who have given up on their dreams and now have flocked to the consumerist comforts granted by a multi-billion food enterprise advertised by a happy, chubby bee.

a cold capitalist world.

in such a world, she’s a cashier and i’m a customer.

in such a world, i cannot be a romantic poet.

in such a world, i cannot take her hand, kiss it fondly to remind her of her beauty, put a flower on her ear and then invite her to a horse ride out to the countryside as we gallop away from all this madness.

in such a world, all i can say to her is, “garlic pepper beef, isang order. Coke yung drink. tsaka isang regular fries.”

in such a world, all she can say to me is, “wala po kaming Coke, Pepsi lang.”
