by: Queenie Bolanos There are different holiday rentals that are available in Novaliches Proper. Here are some of them: 1. Mini hotels, these are hotels where you can rent near the fresh market area itself. Bed and breakfast are offered, however since this is are not five star hotels, expect that there is no variety.

There are different universities you can choose in the Philippines. I hope there will be universities in the countryside, really far away from the hustle bustle of the city. I prefer a university that is surrounded by trees, had a great library where you can really study, and of course... a nice student residence where there is a library, and a nice place to reflect and pray (very important especially if you will take philosophy and law;  math or science course). I hope there will also be a sports complex with a great basketball court where other universities can actually enjoy and have a friendly competition of basketball. Here are some universities which are famous in my country: a.) University of Sto. Tomas, the most ancient among the universities, though in the mid
