UPLB Turns into Christmas Town

I think that the Christmas decorations put up at the UPLB gate is very fabulous. It has even attracted a lot of people and tourists. I've also heard that it was featured in ABS-CBN I think. I like Santa's sleigh. It looks kind of cute. Although too many tourists translate to too many rubbish. I've noticed that CPark has become a bit dirty lately. The fabulous decorations have also attracted a number of street children masquerading as Christmas carolers.

It's only my second year of stay here in UPLB and I'd say that this year's decoration was more eye-catching than last year's, especially the Belen. Last year's Belen was just a plain haystack with wooden carvings of Mama Mary and Joseph and everyone else. But now they have costumes.

This was last year's Belen. The costume-less version.

I don't know about the UPLB Administration, but I'm getting the feeling that the decorations have a hidden agenda to them. It may involve money. Oh well, let's just enjoy the attraction. It's Christmas anyway. Let's get the Christmas aura going.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! ^______^

And oh yeah, let's not hope that there won't be any typhoon coming. I just don't know what will happen to the big Christmas tree and Santa's reindeer when there will be one.

Terminal

Current Mood: rushed
BG Music: buzzing of CPUs sang by UPLB Main Library


It was actually my very first time to use the Ubuntu Terminal. It was really fun discovering and learning things about Terminal.


Somehow it was easier to use Terminal than its Windows counterpart Command Prompt. The exercise was very exciting. You get to do trial-and-error. Encoding the commands was like dipping your foot in a swimming pool to see if it's deep.


And if I may recall, I have here are list of some commands we were taught:


ls
cd
clear
date
mkdir
man
mv
cd
/home/user/Desktop
cp
rm
history
cal
pwd


I've researched some more commands which I can be found here.


At the end of the day, I learned that indeed, we should thank God and thank all the computer geniuses out there for making the Graphical User Interface.
