Unique Moments at Hail U. P. 100 Oblation Photo Shoot
At the crack of dawn last 13 December 2008, I had a different U.P. Oblation experience and it made waking up at 4 a.m. worth it. It was not the typical APO oblation run I saw at Palma Hall last year where masked men ran around bare, giving roses to lucky ladies. It was not as jam-packed and public as the traditional oblation run which even girls and gurrls from nearby colleges patronized. It was a rare photo experience for local and international media and cameramen. It was a solemn symbolic rite of offering of oneself of (almost) 100 men to their alma mater’s 100th year.
Volunteer UP students, alumni, faculty and staff wore flesh-colored flimsy trunks (making them look naked) with fig leaves over their private parts. Some more daring men, however, opted to do away with their trunks for this once in a lifetime event. I admired the men who volunteered for this photoshoot, heedless of the after math of showing off their well trimmed abs and firms butts, fats and flabs or ribs and bones for the world to see.
It was an awesome sight to see these men lined side by side, as a brigade of ready soldiers, in the green field of the U.P. amphitheater. I sighed as I marveled at the 100 live oblation models (in unison, as if they rehearsed for a long time) raising their arms slowly, until they formed an arc; tilting their heads back simultaneously to face the sky – as the U.P. oblation statue at Quezon Hall. What a picture perfect moment! My husband took some video while my daughter clicked some interesting shots which I borrowed to show here. I savored the moments and wished that the 100 oblations who modeled for the photo shoot could go back to their own colleges and work stations with renewed enthusiasm to work for the U.P. ideals of leadership, excellence and service for the country.
If there will be a 101 U.P. oblations photo shoot next year, would you allow youre husband, boyfriend, son or brother join? Why not?

I thought of this conversation because I have recently seen it in action in my workplace. Recently an Senior position was advertised internally with the comment “don’t worry about a resume, we have a good idea of what everyone is capable of”. Basically this translates to this: your reputation is your resume. This point was further proven by who got the job.

I was listening to an audiobook called The Pleasure of Finding Things Out which is a collection of short-works by Richard Feynman. For those who haven’t heard of him, Feynman (1918-1988) is a Nobel-winning physicist who worked on the Manhattan Project and had the reputation of a cheerfully eccentric genius.
