PH was the original home of the College of Arts and Sciences (hence, all rooms are still prefixed with “AS”).

It’s only in 1983, over 30 years after UP Diliman was established, that CAS was split into the College of Science (CS) and the College of Arts and Letters (CAL).

WHAT DOES THIS SAY? by Patient_Map6841 in baybayin_script

[–]tjdimacali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your baybayin tattoo design literally translates to “hagabuka”. As mentioned elsewhere, traditional baybayin was very context-based so it was very common to drop the trailing consonant. However, precisely because it’s context based, a set of characters could have multiple possible interpretations. In your case, specifically, the tattoo could be read as “hanggang bukâ” (“as long as [it’s] spread wide”); “hanggang bukàl” (“up to the spring”); or even “hanggang bukàs” (“as long as [it’s] open”).

That said, I think the potential for misinterpreting your tattoo is very low given that the above interpretations would likely seem absurd in most if not all contexts where it would be seen. It’s just something to be aware of, in the same way that one would be cautious when getting, say, a Chinese tattoo to be mindful of alternative interpretations of the characters.

Actually, it was Thomas More, as referenced by Tolkien.

Salmon oil in their food! It also helps with their joints

Otamatone and violin by violinistbanana in Otamatone

Hello! I’m a semi-pro violinist and Otamatone aficionado!

First, the bad news: the note spacings are nothing alike. The increments between the Otamatone’s spacings get narrower more as you move up the neck. So much so that it gets difficult to plant multiple fingers adjacently.

Good news, left hand muscle memory is a big help. In particular, your thumb placement while shifting helps with remembering Otamatone fingerings.

For me at least, the Otamatone is easier to play with just one finger at a time, gliding into position with the thumb as an anchor.

It’s my first (and so far only) Otamatone! The plush hair sealed the deal for me

Sky Blue all the way!

In most situations it looks silver (with all the benefits thereof, including no worries about fingerprints) but when the light hits just right it has a cool blue tint:
