Though I don't feel like an alumnus of EEE (since I am still stuck in the Institute), I decided to give in to the lure of free food (and alcoholic beverage, malaki na nga lang kasi ang tiyan ko so food lang talaga). The theme was "Eng'g na Eng'g na Eng'g: Getting bigger and better", which was very appropriate since the groundbreaking ceremony of EEE building 2 was held earlier that day. The Eng'g na Eng'g na Eng'g is an inside joke of what EEE stands for (in contrast to IE, ChE, CE, and the like). While Alumni may say "Is this still the EE department I have known?", we must accept that change is inevitable, and we must enjoy the exciting changes that is happening in our "beloved" department (now Institute) of Electrical and Electronics Engineering of the UP College of Engineering.
Hurling comments by the page while perusing the souvenir program, it is happy to see that EEE alumni in general now holds key positions in the government and industry here and abroad, and it is a challenge to the institute to maintain or surpass the quality of education that was established ahead of them. Nakakatuwang mabasa na happy sila sa fields nila, tapos iisipin mo na 25 years ago, nangangarap lang sila (Ang payat pa nang isang babaeng alumni noon, at feeling ko, hearthrob siya nung college, judging by her pictures tsaka hello, iilan lang ba ang babaeng EE noon?)
Mike threw his dignity aside that night as he related the EEE 41 song with action (Forward active, saturation at cut-off, clap clap clap). Too bad Doc S was not listening. Buti nalang talaga si Mike ang natawag , kasi naman diba, meron din akong EEE 33 song. tsaka the villar song.
We also learned that the students then despise EE 42 (now EEE 43). Ma'am Gev even dropped the subject, as it was her first time to score a Z-E-R-O in an exam. Nasa huli nga naman ang pagsisisi, as she later learned that the passing average for the course was 35 (her average prior to dropping). There teachers were also a "no-show" at a time, for they watched Voltes V instead of dishing out the exam.
As expected, the Institute loved its own, the buffet is courtesy of the ROC (Restaurant of Choice), a posh resto owned by Sir Carl Odulio, among others. The pasta used in the pesto was not al dente, but other than that I enjoyed the food, especially the greeny salad stuff with salsa and cheese.
