Being an MSUan

MSU- Main Aisle
People says MSU, Marawi is a place where there is so much chaos, kidnapping, gunshots and many other things. 
Once my brother said to me when I was going to MSU, for the first time, he told me " don't wear sexy clothes and don't make yourself beautiful out there ha, someone might fall for yoy"  and I just laughed at it and said " that's impossible kuya, I'm not eve close to being pretty" which is actually true. 
But when I step foot to the MSU entrance, I was awed, it's... wow. Athletes were practicing in the golf course ground and some played golf, soft ball and Frisbee. It was an amazing sight. The school of scholars. For me that was literally mind blowing and it got me excitement. 
The first thing my ate introduced to me was the Mishka's, a very popular fried chicken store in MSU, and it taste so unique and new. The crispness and spiciness of the chicken meat is so tasty it has become my favorite. 
MSU, Marawi students/ people were very fund of improvising their own fried chicken specially the sauce. Each food  establishments have their own special way of making sauce which is so suited to the flavor of their chicken. 
There are so many kinds of dishes that are delicious that you will surely crave for more. 
Here in MSU, ladies are not allowed to wear shorts, sleeve- less, see through shirts and short length of skirts. For the reason that it is forbidden in the culture of Marawi, of course it is an Islamic place. 
One thing I admired in MSU is the view in the library, you can see Tue golf course and the famous mountain called "Sleeping Lady". There is also the "Aga Khan Museum that holds so many history of both the Marawi and MSU. 
All  of this have changed my perspective towards MSU. It has become my home for the past 3 years. Many rumors have spread but seems like we, students of MSU, were not that much affected maybe because we always heard the rumors after several days. 
Every place we go, there is danger awaits but it is up to us whether to be brave and face it or not. 
You won't know a person if you don't want to know them too well. Muslims are not all dangerous people same also to christians, some do bad things and some do good things. It is not bad to know a person, is it? 
One thing graduates here are called survivors. 
The best weather here is the fog. We all love it.

A Páter is a popular dish in Marawi City, Philippines mostly in Muslim areas. It consist of Yellow rice and a spicy meat, either beef or chicken, mixed with spices and grated coconut. Every establishments here in Mindanao State University has their own special recipe and each of them have their own unique flavor. A maranao friend of mine told me that if you eat this you should not drink any cold beverages the reason is that it will worsen the spiciness you felt inside you tongue. Maybe this will apply to other spicy dish.
