UST University of Santo Tomas Baccalaureate Mass Celebrated with Awesome Fireworks

What’s more satisfying for every student than to graduate? For some, it is always as grueling as it can be for 2 years, some for 4 years and some for more than half a decade. I remember when I was in college a few years back, ok well maybe a few more years back than I recall, the best signal that we will be graduating is the Baccalaureate Mass. The University of Santo Tomas UST in Manila, Philippines Baccalaureate Mass is an annual event. In 2015, the graduating students of the Institute of Information and Computing Sciences joined the event for the first time. For 8,801 graduates of 2016, the baccalaureate mass at the University of Santo Tomas says a lot and it is a great mark that it is time to graduate and head on the real world!

One of probably the most famous is the #followmeto, if you haven’t seen the photos and videos, well, you’ve probably missed a lot ;-) However, as famous as it is, a lot of memes have popped out from both social media and youtube. Forrest Lu and Agnes Chien recently put their own refreshing and hilarious twist on the popular #followmeto meme. Russian photographer Murad Osmann and and his girlfriend, Natalia Zakharova sparked the well-known #followmeto meme back in 2013, when they turned their travel photos from around the world into a series of romantic gestures.

Same Sex Couple's Top Wedding Destinations

Come 3rd of July, 2015, the Supreme Court ruled that the U.S. Constitution provide same-sex couples with the right to marry.

It took me maybe 10 years to remember what its like to be living in that era. Manila is the capital of the country, if you'll come visit here you'll surely like the place. The heat is tremendous yet its manageable. The people are warm and we're always smiling even there's nothing to smile about. If you like what you see in Manila today, imagine how it looked like say 5 decades ago ;-) Have you ever wonder what does Manila looks like during those times? Say the 50's, 60's or the 70's? What do you think about the Pasig river? Is it that dirty back in time? Can you enjoy loitering around the park? Well let's have a look what does Metro Manila looks like way back then. Look at this, this photo was taken somewhere in the bridge wh
