big dorm up is still big dorm. the rooms below used to be at various points during my stay, -chemistry and lab room, pantry, cat room, big dorm down, small dorm down.
now its an office and infirmary. am not sure what the other room is 
looking up the small dorm up. beacuse of dwindling enrollees, the small dorm up currently lays unused. it just looks sad.
like when seminary is on summer vacation and you go back and take a peek at the dorms. the emptiness jars you up a bit. coz ur used to seeing the dorms full of beddings and stuff and noisy teenagers.
how do we call this nga? main garden ba? the aguho tree is gone and so is the big mango tree and the rimas tree near the kitchen. looks a bit bare but more open. i dunno but the seminary looks way more lonesome, and rundown than before. gurangunon na pagkitaon.
mga rich na sano, batugi na tabi nindo magdonate bago magkaruruba an mga buildings :-)
the parlor looking down from the second floor -what used to be the prayer room. it has been removed so the parlor became like a high ceilinged receiving area
the "object of desire" of many basketball crazy seminarians hehehe. paurunahan pag 4pm Games!
the boards are plexiglass. remember when they used to be made of wood and every now and then the karpinteros and Pay would replace the rotting panels with new ones?
the b-ball courts are now equipped with plexi boards. this is the right court with a "grandstand" something ---where the volleyball court used to be. the court remains still the skin scraping concrete paving
the cement pasillo roof looks a bit off. doesnt blend at all to the architecture
the roof of the pasillo used to be tin roof but now its all concrete. sr. myrna said the top can be used as a walkway going to annex dorm
it looks different now. it has red tiles and metal sign. also the flag pole is gone
what do we call nga the area where the pingpong tables are?
next to it used to be a vacant space but now its where the canteen is located. the white building is the small dorm up
the grounds again. a happy place during the intrams. a cursed place to be during CAT days. also shown is the study hall. i dont remember the stained glass being there. i think it used to be some sort of concrete decor blocks that was there. and the extension building on the side, the painted one, is the toilet.
the study hall serves also as the seminary church ever since the chapel was renovated.
this is the first in a series of "nostalgia" pix.
this may rekindle fond memories of your olps years and hope you can share them here :-)
i forgot what this place is called, right field? or grounds? anyways whenever i see this, i always remember james "tiago" angeles, in full ninja regalia running after a cow and trying to wrestle it. he was in his "ninja" phase then. needless to say, it was a sight to behold. a ninja cowboy?

his big booming voice and his hulking frame was enought to induce terror among us tiny freshmen in big dorm up. anyways we became good freshmen :D
