Hello, just asking if APC has a band room with instruments (specifically a drum set sana) that students can schedule for or use whenever? If meron, how can I go there if pwede? Who do I contact for scheduling? Ty in advance
Whoever that tall girl at the cafe was this morning with glasses, a long sleeve peach top, and denim pants, hello there, you're so pretty hehe 🙂. She was with another girl in a white t-shirt before they went to MPH, I hope you see this haha. You might even be taller than me 😭

Maybe I'm bragging by posting this, but I guess I deserve it because I'd never thought I'd get this much in my life ever, and I'm glad I had the opportunity to. I can finally buy the gamepasses little me could only look at.
After weeks of maxing out my Precious Materials then selling it, I've finally reached my first ever million. I can finally retire now. It just goes to show how helpful HQ is, and I'll always suggest to max it as fast as you can.
The title of this post basically sums up everything. Ever since Grade 11 palang ako sa Mapúa, my parents have been pressuring me to pursue Engineering. Of course, ayaw ko talaga kasi hindi ko naman passion, and hindi rin ako ganoon kagaling sa Math, which I believe is kailangang-kailangan ng mga Engineering students. I really want to be in the IT/Tech field kasi that's where I've spent most of my pandemic years up until now: coding. I've already learned Python and Java, and almost C++. I feel like putting myself into a course far away from those skills is just a total waste of time.
Grade 12 graduate na ako sa Mapúa this month, pero hindi pa rin sila tumitigil sa pagsasabi na dapat mag-Engineering ako. Sabi nila, "malaki ang sahod," "magandang pakinggan ang Engineer sa pangalan," at "rerespetuhin ka ng lahat ng tao." But I've seen a lot of Reddit posts saying na underpaid ang mga Engineers, at sobrang saturated na ng field, which means fewer opportunities and lower salaries.
It's getting really frustrating. Sinasabi ko naman sa kanila kung saan ako passionate, pero dinidismiss lang nila ako and they're saying na mas lamang pa rin ang Engineering sa "IT-IT-han" na 'yan. They even reached to a point where they said na ang bagsak ko lang daw pagka-graduate ko ng BSIT ay yung nagpaparepair ng cellphone sa Divisoria. How do I deal with this?
Hello, I'm a graduating SHS student about to take BSIT in Mapúa Makati kasi hindi na nakahabol na mag-apply sa other universities. To all current BSIT people or college students sa Mapúa in general, do you guys have any tips or reminders for someone taking BSIT this June? I have some questions lang din so that I can prepare ahead of time:
- What would the syllabus look like? Is it focused on pure coding or are there any other subjects? What kinds of programming languages should I start studying before the S.Y. starts?
- How about the profs (assuming they're still teaching sa June)? Are there any professors I should be wary about? May mga mababait/masusungit ba?
- How would assessments work in BSIT? May mga kailangan bang isulat na code sa manila paper or is it all online through BlackBoard?
- Overall, how difficult is the course? Super hirap ba siya for someone with little experience in coding (I only know a few basics in Python and C++)?
Lastly, I'm a bit confused din on how my 1st year would go. I went HOME this Grade 12 so nung Grade 11 lang ako face-to-face, kaya medyo wala pa akong masyadong kilala na pwede kong makasama this upcoming June. I've seen alot of people mentioning na magiiba-iba daw ng classmates per year, introduction to blocks, and whatnot. I'm somewhat nervous in a way kasi in a few months I'll be a college freshman na 🥹
Any advice/tip/reminder would do po, thank you.
Last night, I finally sent that message to her. Even if my purpose was to just send it and finally forget everything, I still don't feel the relief I was supposed to get after doing it. There’s still this lingering feeling that I can't quite shake off.
It all began back nung we were in Grade 9. Her section was on the upper floor whilst I was on the floor below her. Our first interaction happened nung nagdedecorate kami sa labas ng classroom, and doon na kami nagkatitigan. I would really say na it was a love-at-first-sight kind of experience, kasi even if nakafacemask pa kami lahat noon, she was really pretty—especially her eyes. Her hair was beautiful and straight, and we were almost the same height pa. She knew how to dance, and really well I would say. But the most important of all was that she'd always make us smile just from her humor and the way she carries herself alone.
It didn't really progress much not until Grade 10 when we were both classmates. But honestly, we weren't really the closest, and we barely interacted with each other. I always felt inferior to her and I was always too shy to even approach her, so halos wala akong nagawa na may kabuluhan. What's worse was that I was caught up in different MUs and even had a 1-year partner who cheated on me after, so at that time, the thought of us becoming together was almost impossible.
Currently, I'm a graduating SHS student, and she's at a completely different campus (UST) with her friends. I tried reaching out to her months after my 1-year relationship ended, but it wasn't of any value. Nag-greet lang ako ng happy birthday and that was basically it.
Then, just last night, I decided to finally send that message because the thought of not going forward and keeping my feelings to myself has never stopped haunting me ever since. I always regret my decisions noon; looking back, the signs were there already. We had chemistry, but I was just too naive to realize what I was missing. Now, it has always haunted me, and I just wanted the weight to stop. I sent that message hoping to let all of my feelings go and move on, pero it's still there. She hasn't responded nor seen it pa, but I think that is an answer already. Whatever the case may be, I just hope what I did last night was finally the right thing for my own peace of mind.
If you're ever reading this thread, I hope you continue to live your life to the fullest, knowing that there was someone who truly cared for who you were as a person—someone that brought me joy even from afar—that I've always appreciated since the first time we met. You may just be my lifetime reimagined.
Hello, I'm a graduating Mapúa University Makati student planning to take BSIT either in the same university or in the Polytechnic University of the Philippines' Open University Program.
Currently, I have an old ASUS ROG laptop that's been with me since Grade 10 pa, and even though it's very old, nakakaya pa naman niya especially gaming but not to a degree comparable to the newer ones today.
I was wondering if I should replace this with a Macbook Air (M1-M4), given that mahirap magcommute nang may mabigat na laptop and kailangan pang nakacharge or otherwise magshushutdown. I'm unsure lang talaga if it's worth it to buy since medyo mahal saakin yung mga Macbooks.
I primarily use my Laptop for basic tasks like Discord, Chrome, Google Apps, Microsoft apps, and even Roblox kapag may time. I try to stay away from AAA games as not only are they storage-heavy (I have a 512gb SSD), laggy pa siya and nabuburnout din ako kaya nadedelete lang after a month.
I've been researching on my own, and found out that Macbooks are exceptional for coding because of its UNIX-based system, though some also note na most universities and their syllabus focus more on programs that are only Windows compatible. I'm also not sure din kung anong kailangan ng dalawang universities kaya naghehesitate din ako bumili kasi baka nga hindi kaya ng Mac yung programs na kailangan kapag start na ng SY.
Do note na I'm leaning more on going sa PUP kasi super mahal ng tuition sa Mapúa (880k+ for 4 years) and hindi kaya ng parents ko na magprovide.
Hope may makasagot kasi malapit na matapos ang admissions. Thank you.
