Nothing can stop me from partying and enjoying the Quadri week, even flu. I've been suffering from sore throat, colds, muscle pains and headache for more than a week now. But I couldn't just stay at home and rest, because I want to attend the activities and enjoy the one-week celebration of UST's 400th birthday.

Wednesday. January 26, 2011. The Q Parade.

Our classes were suspended so we could join the parade or watch the Cheermania. More than half of the class chose to join the parade, including me. There were colorful floats and students in costumes. It was actually more than just a parade, I call it parade-procession-rally-marathon. We walked from UST to Mendiola and back to UST. There are times that we have to run, then stop, then walk again. We were waving and shouting "EN-GI-NEE-RING." It was so much fun.

We passed by other schools like FEU and UE. The Tamaraws and the Red Warriors were watching us, some were even waving and shouting with us. The parade lasted for more than an hour. I was very tired and my feet were hurt. But still we all enjoyed it and we all thought it was a great experience.

Whew. That was one hell of a week month. The last two weeks for me was very stressful and very tiring. So I spent the whole day resting. The results of the exam are still bothering me though. I can't help but think of it.

Good thing the Quadricentennial week is coming ahead. There will be a lot of activities in UST. I went there earlier and I saw the preparations. They were setting up two stages at the Grandstand and at Plaza Mayor. There were also tents beside the field and a huge yellow hot air balloon-like thing. Classes would not be suspended but it's still up to the professors to give permission to the students to go to the Q Fair.

In cooperation of the 400th foundation of UST, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas will release 200 peso bills with the Qudricentennial logo. There are also  UST commemorative Swatch watches and other merchandises available at the Quadri Cart located at Plaza Mayor.
