because of the shock and sudden disbelief, the caller reiterated a couple of times that i actually passed upcat, (the university of the philippines college admission test) and instructed me of the steps to follow for registration and enrollment.
back then, the feeling was more ecstatic than having a brand new unit of the playstation, even more orgasmic than your fist adolescent kiss. i have to admit it was one of the proudest moments of my life. from my highschool batch who took the upcat, only 4 of us made it to the list. i am the only UP qualifier and graduate from our family and neighbor clans.
it's not that big a deal, actually. but during that time, passing the upcat, and being given the privilege to study in UP was a big deal for my family.
and so i spent four years of my life in elbi (university of the philippines at los baños) where i experienced a huge change in almost every aspect of my life. yes, upcat, up, elbi- it brought changes to my life. i love elbi. period.
and then i saw this indie movie trailer across the internet. it presents us a pre-upcat view of the lives of the characters who may have a common belief that
pasisng the upcat could be the ticket to reach their various goals in their lives. UP or nothing?- that's the movie's tagline. the trailer seems interesting enough. aside from the elbi backdrop, the promising plot and the theme song used (which i believe was from raimund marasigan of sandwich), i do have a gut feeling that this film is worth watching.

this is bloody cool.
pangarap ko din makapasok ng UP. iba kasi ang dating kapag narinig mo yung pangalan ng school. very prestigious at ang kailangan talaga magaling ka :) pero hindi ako kumuha ng UPCAT kasi may scholarship ako dun sa school kung saan ako grumaduate :)
so sa elbi la pala. marami akong kakilala na dun din nagaaral :)
galing.. sana mapanood ko :)
hmmm.. interesting.
pumasa ako ng UPCAT at sa elbi ako pinapapasok. Unfortunately, ayaw ni inang na mawalay ako. at baka raw maging radikal akong masyado. ayun... sa USTe ako napunta.
@roneiluke
Astig, scholar ka pala dati!
Talaga? anong batch? baka kilala ko din sila.
@ate sienna: Wow! Astig po! Panalo din sa USTe. Ako naman ay nag-elbi para mapalayo sa bahay. hehe
But of course passing the UPCAT does not gurantee anything. A large part still lies on skill and determination.
