UP For The Win!

The UP Men’s Basketball Team won their first UAAP game in almost 2 years last Sunday. Most other schools are aiming their sights on the final four while we were just hoping for at least one win. It was nice to see the team’s fighting spirit once again. UP Fight!

We were so inspired by the game that Mimi and I brought our bikes and our cameras to UP. Impromptu shoot :)

On Sundays, UP closes the main oval and it becomes one big park.
UP Sunday Afternoon

UP also converted one lane of the oval to a bike lane. We’ve been biking since February this year and just happy that the campus has become more bike friendly.


It was a nice change of pace just to shoot for the fun of it.

    Hi Mimi and Karl,

    Ang laki nga ng ipinayat ni Karl! Kainggit. Or is it because of some camera effects? =P

    I was just looking for UAAP updates on inquirer.net … but of course, basta UP news on UAAP dapat dito ako tumitingin ;) ! Ganda ng pics ng UP Diliman. I am so looking forward to our trip in December, sana maabutan namin yung Lantern Parade!

    Lem, yung ‘biking since February’ — parang meron kayong pinaghahandaan since then ha. So by now sinong mas hands-on sa planning, ikaw o si Mimi?

    Saving the best for last… Happy Birthday, Mimi! Hope the blushing bride-to-be is doing well. Big hug!

    Nice shots guys, especially the shot of Karl on the bike, how did you get the surrounding background to blur around Karl? what lense did you use?
