My Dorm Living Experiences in UPLB

Hey fam! Before I give you my full list of dorm living tips, let me first share with you my story on how I transferred from one dorm to another. I think this could be very helpful for incoming freshies and upper batches alike to have an idea of how is it to move places and deal with different people all the time. I'm sorry guys for posting late, our internet connection has been very sloooooow lately so it took me days to upload this one. Anyway, part 2 is on Monday: Dorm Living Tips for college students!
"Come, let us return to the Lord. He has torn us to pieces but He will heal us. He injured us, but He will bind up our wounds. Let us press on to acknowledge Him." [Hosea 6:1-4]
To the person reading up to this point, let me pray for you!
Dear God,
Thank you very much for sending this person to watch my video. This has been one of the life experiences that I wanted to share to him/her so that he/she may come prepared to every challenge he/she will meet along the way, especially in terms of college living. As he/she will be away from his/her family by the time normal classes resume, I pray Lord that you keep him/her safe from any danger and harm, from bad influences, and from anything that could make graduating in UP almost impossible. Lord, we are just humans, we can barely survive without your presence in our lives. May You touch the heart of the lost and the self-sufficient, so that You may be alive in their presence. In Jesus' Name, Amen!
Thank you for watching my video and praying with me! #DescriptionBoxPrayers

Hello! Update lang po: may CCTV na sa lahat ng dorms and mas mahigpit na ang security, including sa WRH. Thank you so much po din sa very informative na vlog mooo 💖

That’s good to know! Thank you Sid ❤️

Thanks for this, ate! I am an upcoming freshman sa UPLB and gusto ko magdorm inside UP (para mas tipid) together with my best friend (freshie sya ng Agribusiness, same with you!) huhu tho nakakatakot yung kwento mo po, sana nga po may cctvs na inside :( ingat ka palagi ate and please keep doing this. Much appreciated ❤️

[@RICAJANINE]

Shane Stypayhorlikson Wait lang kinikilig naman ako! Hahaha thank you Shane! 💖 Oo, mag ingat kayo palagi dun haaa. Bumili ng matibay na padlock para sa cabinet at wag iwan ang laptop kung saan saan! Nako mainit sa mata ng magnanakaw ang mga laptop 🤣 minsan sa cr pa daw nila tinatago. Yes dear, more vids are coming. I’m always listening to my subscriber’s requests! 💖

[@RICAJANINE]

Yes go sis!!! Share mo yan 💖

[@percivalvillanuevaabril3609]

Rica, your personal experience is worthy of attention to improve the said security as per dorm management is concerned. One more thing, you look blooming and prettier on your hair... 💕

[@jocelynmetucua8066]

I remember yung Grove. Wayback in the 70s ibang iba ang hitsura nya today. Remember ko sa womens dorm, yung iba gigising 4am para lang mauna maligo. Na experience ko na din manakawan, pera din ang kinuha. Hirap pag andaming kasama sa room, di ka makaconcentrate ng aral lalo na pag maingay mga ka roomates mo.

[@RICAJANINE]

Super agree po sa lahat ng sinabi nyo! Kakaiba na nga talaga ngayon 🤗💜

[@AimeeryDC]

I Love the audio quality!! also which is better for you? Dorm inside UPLB campus or outside? Btw, I’m an incoming freshamn

[@RICAJANINE]

EMEREH Hi Emereh! Siguro Amarah name mo? 😅 thank you! Depends yan. Kahit naman saan basta may accessible na jeep, g lang! Kung ang priority mo is accessibility kahit gabi, sobrang ok talaga if sa labas ng campus. Madali lang naman lumakad papasok or palabas sa sobrang lapit. But ako kasi lumipas na ang pagka social butterfly ko kaya mas bet ko na sa loob ng campus para tago ako sa mga tao 🤣 Kung dati gabi gabi ako nasa labas at parati kaming nag babar hopping ng orgmates ko e mas bet talaga outside campus madali umuwi, pero ngayon more on netflix nalang ang libangan ko. Mas prefer ko na sa loob 😂 #tita

[@ajdm6323]

Hi po! I always watched your vids recently, and i find it really helpful ☺️ I'm an incoming freshman po, can I request po if you can include the topic "DPWAS" for your next vlog, I'm so curious about DPWAS experiences, I'm still thinking po kase if I should continue in UP or I should enroll to other campus with my dream course 🙁 or should I choose my dream school, I have a hard time deciding what to choose po kase. Salamat poooo! Continue spreading good vibes ❤️

[@RICAJANINE]

Jersey Magisa Nasa sayo yan Jersey, ako kasi nun i didnt exactly know what I wanted to become kaya I pursued my Dream School. Not all jobs din naman would require a specific course unless sobrang technical, so a big name for the school helps a lot. That’s for me lang. Yes I will include about DPWAS, I’m still doing my research lang and then next week magpopost ako! ❤️

[@ajdm6323]

Thank you po sa videos niyo, ate! Ask ko lang po kung mahirap ba makakuha ng dorm, like ubusan po ba? Di po kasi ako kukuha agad ng dorm sa first sem since online classes lang naman po, pero nagwo-worry po ako kung dapat kumuha na ako kaagad para di maubusan :/ Thank you po!

Depends kung saan mo plan mag dorm. Sa UP dorms ang ubusan. Pero if private naman marami ka pa rin mahahanap ☺️ Thank you din!! 💖

[@RICAJANINE]

Krizz Coleen Dela Fuente Hi Krizz! Well so far wala naman hahaha pero ang creepy sa sobrang laki ng room i feel like may kabaong sa harap ko palagi. My tita just died that time kaya yun yung madalas ko maisip. Pero yung talagang experience, di ko alam. Baka meron pero limot ko na. Sa cr nakakatakot maghilamos lalo na pag mag isa ka sa gabi hahaha baka pag mulat mo may something na sa likod! Haha char

[@adriaespiritu2997]

Hi po ask ko lang po kung ano kasamang inclusions sa rent ng Koru at Westbrook?? Kasama na po ba utilities don?

[@RICAJANINE]

Adria Espiritu sa Koru, separate ang drinking water, water bills, at kuryente but free fast wifi abot sa lahat ng rooms. Sa westbook, free drinking water, free utility water, hati kayo roommate sa kuryente, free wifi pero sa lobby lang kaya nagpakabit pa kami ng sarili (1,540/4 kaming gumagamit with the katabing room).
