Sunday Mornings at UP Diliman

weekendsnaphot_button1.gif

Sunday mornings at the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City is bustling with activities. Not that there are classes but the activities show people having fun and relaxing in an atmosphere of quiet among majestic trees.

Biking people, walking people and picnicking people can be found. Guy with red shirt on the bike is my hubby.

Aside from that, people engage in different sports like badminton, frisbee throwing, soccer, skateboarding, and tennis. There are tai chi groups too and other local sports like the arnis.

There are also those who fly kites, depending on the weather.

Most people take walks and runs or jogs. They seem to be enjoying these activities and most have earphones plugged to their ears to help them get in the mood. If these walking and running are done on a daily basis, maybe there is no need for Ephedrasil hardcore to burn those fats, if they religiously do these fitness regimen. That includes me too.

There are lots of families that can be seen here, enjoying time to be together.

This is a good place to unwind and just enjoy nature and quiet.

    The walking path in between those majestic looking trees make the entire place look serene with a touch of romance in the air too!

    Yes, I agree, the tress are grand :) The university just celebrated its 100 years this 2008.

    Thanks for the visit, Sandy.

    Yes, the trees do have a wonderful charm :) Thanks for the visit, Jenn.

    Peaceful and quiet, I agree, maybe that’s why the place was able to develop great minds :)

    Sunday its really full of fitness-conscious people. The place is so green especially during June- September when there are rains.

    You know those vacant lots along Commonwealth, these are full of modern buildings for call centers :(

  15. greenbucks on 14 Aug 2008 at 8:58 am

    It wold be quite difficult to do shoots here, especially when there are lots of people. La Mesa is a good place to shoot too :)

    I like it here from June-September when its very green.

  16. greenbucks on 14 Aug 2008 at 9:03 am

    Arlene, this place is UP Diliman. Nice place to go for walks or go biking. Picnics here are great too :)

  17. greenbucks on 14 Aug 2008 at 9:05 am

    Hahaha, romance, yes, I think many couples fell in love in this university :)

    You know, something like holding hands while walking :D

  18. greenbucks on 14 Aug 2008 at 9:07 am

    Here, families get busy in the malls. At least, they bond together, no matter where they go. :)

  19. greenbucks on 14 Aug 2008 at 9:08 am

    Aba, ayos yan ah :) Very memorable nga because of your daughter. Maybe that’s why she also loves it here, fishball and all, pareho kami :D
