I was there last year. Baw, daw sang san-o lang bah! My sister-in-law drove us around the campus one cool evening. Nostalgic guid, brings back old memories of CPU while looking at its old buildings. Good thing, may mga Christmas lights to divert my melancholy. Otherwise, it could have been a struggle to shake it off me. That’s the thing with me, I get so easily caught up with memories.
