What could've been

Posted by Fred (Manila, Philippines) on 5 November 2009 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

This is De La Salle University. One of the most prestigious (and expensive) schools in the Philippines. I studied here for 2yrs where I took up ECE (Electronics and Communications Engineering). Until after much inebriation and partying, I failed enough to have me almost kicked out. I got so depressed then.

But I'm over that now. I'm now taking up my Masterals in Systems Software Engineering in another school, an opportunity that wouldn't have come to me hadn't I been a consistent A student in my undergraduate course. I sound like I'm too proud, because yes. I am proud of where I am right now. When I was in HighSchool, I thought ECE was for me. It turns out the Master had a different plan for me.

Comments and suggestions will be greatly appreciated. :)

Remember.. you're a wreck,
An accident, forget the freak you're just nature.
Keep the gun oiled and the temple clean,
S***, snort and blaspheme.
Let the heads cool and the engine run.
Because in then end...
Everything we do,
Is just everything we've done.

suweeet! this spot is really great for taking a portrait of our beloved alma mater. I think you did a fine job on composition, and I'm also digging the gritty texture, gotham-like!

@shoti: Wow. You actually noticed my vision while taking this photo. I'm sure you miss this place! The LRT rides and the pollution that I'm sure you've gotten used to. Thanks for dropping by shoti!
