5 out of 5, and more

The UP Rifle Pistol Team is another reason for me to apply for the graduate studies in econ. Huhuhu, deadline of application is on Monday, yet I still don’t have a decent essay of why I want to apply and I still don’t have recommendations. That’s another story.

Last night, I went to UP Fair with Marcie, Bebang and Ed. Not as so fun as it used to be. (Maybe because I am — and should be — losing that college feel already; or that I don’t know the bands — it’s fun to hear Kadangyan from a distance, anyway; or that there are less activity booths this time.) But, still FUN (despite some heightened personal arguments on my way home — and that’s another story again.)

How would I not enjoy it when I was able to shoot five out of the five tiny targets of the UP RPT in their rifle shooting booth?! The last time (and that’s the only time) I tried shooting in their booth was about four years ago, where I missed only one target.

The RPT member who guided me was Ina, a sweet young lady who somehow managed to pressure me to shoot all the five targets. It almost felt like forever trying to find a comfortable position or stance or whatever to shoot the last standing little piece of wood shaped like a super small animal (was that wood?). By that time, my hands (and arms and legs) were already shaking and hard to control from the weight (and pressure) of that heavy rifle. I managed it. Ang tagal nga lang. Whoa!

So I got a bullet keychain. Yabang!

P.S. Ina, did I remember your name right? Peace!

Astig pa rin ang UP Fair

I maintain another blog for the trips, event, celebrations and whatever happenings around me in this country. Prior to my (re-)posting of the 2008 UP Fair schedule, and that’s for about two months, my blog had an average of only four pageloads per day, or 292 in all. After that and until now, for only about two weeks, my blog got 742 hits or an average of 62 pageloads per day! ‘Recent keyword analysis’ proves that the sudden upsurge of pageloads is due to ‘up fair schedule.’

Oh, di ba?! That’s how UP Fair is loved. That’s to show that probably, it’s the only topic I’ve posted that many people think is worth posting. I’ll still write more about anything, anyway. I can’t be stopped! Hahaha!

On another note – Earth Day celebration

After the skewed popularity of my other blog courtesy of UP Fair, I wonder if people would take notice of my most recent post there about the Earth Day Celebration. Or, would my writing of Ms Cathy Untalan’s name there magnet more blog visitors? Maybe I should have completed her name – Catherine, almost a namesake (K, not C). Now, check that out.
