Astig at Sikat ka PUP!

This was Intoy's and Jenny's gate to their school which is actually  located at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines, Sta. Mesa, Manila

This week was Polytechnic University of the Philippines foundation week. Regard to its foundation week, our group wants to show us what PUP got. One way of showing is its relevant places that seen on the big screen. One of those movies is "Ligo na u, lapit na me" which is actually an indi film.

The story goes this way: Intoy is secretly in love with his friend Jenny, the most beautiful girl in the campus. Jenny is rich and quirky; Intoy is street-smart and ordinary. But this friendship is not simple, sine Jenny has bestowed on Intoy some perks and privileges, including going to bed with her on the condition that they will not fall in love with each other. Before graduation, Intoy feels that he has to shed his pretensions of being astig and finally profess his love for Jenny. But he is devastated to learn that Jenny is pregnant. Worse, Jenny tells him: "Dont worry, this is not yours." This movie is based on the bestselling novel of Eros A. Atalia, Ligo na U, Lapit na Me is an examination of postmodern love and relationship and the way this generation deals with their love and fear. This movie also showed us that sometimes our first love is not our last. That sometimes they just come and go and leave a lesson in our life. Truly, life and love is unexpected. Everyone can guess and wish for what they want to happen but in reality everything is unpredictable and surprise!

Whenever I watched a movie, commercial or a teleserye and I saw some PUP spot, I feel so grateful to be one of the students of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines. I do also says that "Wow, Sa school ko yan a!" Seriously, I'm proud of it. I just want to say Happy Anniversary PUP! Stay great ;)
