UP Asterisk (Asosasyon ng Kabataang Artista, Kritiko at Iskolar ng Sining at Kultura - Unibersidad ng Pilipinas Diliman) celebrated its 7th year anniversary on February 2013 with the theme, Pitong Gatang: Measures of Aspiration in the Everyday. It explores the irony of desire and the political in the personal. While few dream of having the latest gadget, many dream of surviving through today. For most of our countrymen, rice is but a staple dream.
