it ended in game TIU
Sunday, October 7
Go Pacquiao!
Smart mytv is so cool! My mom watched the game on her phone and it was live via satellite. The TV coverage of GMA 7 was so full of commercials. It was a bit disappointing. The coverage lagged because of all the commercials they had to air.
anyway...
***UAAP***
I'd have to give it to La Salle. They win games that matter. Congratulation to the Green Archers!
*i still hate Maierhofer though. hahaha! saksakan ng YABANG!
Question: What happened to UE?

A Lasallian's Post
Please stop embarrassing the Green Community. We won the game. Let us bask in the glory of the win. We deserve that.
But with that "intelligent" attempt to put the opponent down with a "well-executed attack", we are simply bringing more criticism to De La Salle.
It was an interesting piece of information, that's a given. Many of us probably believed it could finally put an end to the "stereotyping" Lasallians have been up against since time began. But folks, information like that is tricky. Especially when we use it as ammo to shoot down an opponent.
When I saw that banner raised up tonight, all I could think was, "I hope this is backed up. I hope this info is ironclad. Para walang masabi hindi lang ang Ateneo kundi pati ang ibang universities." I feared that though the shot was heard LOUD, we were only loaded with but a noisy blank bullet.
I would never want anybody (not just Ateneans) to think we simply found some statistics that happened to work to our favor, had them printed out on a giagantic tarpaulin banner, and expected that no one would look it up and RESEARCH the information's origins and bases. So I did precisely that.
Unfortunately, we may have worked against ourselves tonight, my dear Lasalle brothers.
The THES-QS Rankings is, ultimately, a guide for prospective students around the world in considering universities: "Rankings can assist your decision-making process if used properly, but they must be FULLY UNDERSTOOD, or they could lead you to miss the very institution that is right for you."
It is definitely NOT for bragging rights, because the statistics they collated have absolutely NOTHING to do with how academically adept its students are (it doesn't prove one's students and alumni smarter than the other's, so to speak).
"It is natural to approach any university ranking on the basis that it genuinely reflects the RELATIVE strengths of the institutions covered. But, it is vital to remember that all rankings select their own methodology and individual evaluation criteria on which to base the ranking. It is recommended that you are clear about what is important to you at your prospective university. If one of your priorities is extracurricular opportunities, for example, a standard ranking is unlikely to include this as one of the chosen criteria."
In other words, we are stronger in some areas...but they are stronger in others. It's simply no gauge of who's better. It's just about who's better in WHAT. Now for the wake-up call:
Here is how DLSU fared in stats, namely, Peer Review Recruiter Review Intl. Faculty Intl. Students Faculty / Student Citations / Faculty Overall:
10.4
32.0
1.2
0.5
26.1
0.0
for ADMU:
3.6
37.8
6.8
6.2
18.2
0.0
For educated people, are we not supposed to take all considerations in context, and look beyond the major statistic? Are we not contradicting ourselves when we unabashedly proclaim that 2 is more than 3 in this case...when they can easily throw the logic back at us with all the categorized statistics here (which disappointed me a lot! ADMU's is easily more attractive to foreign students when broken down!)
"Just because a university comes out very well in a ranking, doesn’t mean that it is equally good in all subject areas."-AYUN. SAPUL NA SAPUL TAYO. ARE WE GOING TO WAIT FOR AN ATENEAN TO POINT OUT THE OBVIOUS TO US?
I just find it very unbecoming that in our haste to retaliate (and to what? To "Wrong Spelling" and "Suspended"?), we grabbed the first thing that had our name on it without double-checking if the credit is solely ours. In our attempt to put them down, we have just managed to bring attention to our weaknesses! I'm proud of my school, of my Lasallian heritage, and of today's win, but WE CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT.
And for a community who wants to break free from stereotyping, aren't we doing the exact same thing to the Ateneo boys we mentioned, like LA Tenorio, Ford Arao, etc., in undermining their intellectual ability? Ateneo has been known to kick players out of the team due to academic deficiencies, to provide one-on-one tutoring and to NOT give special treatment to student athletes. I know this because my best friend was a professor to a number of student-athletes. Unfortunately for us, credibility in this area is on the Ateneo's side.
Bottom line? The "prized" statistic we emblazoned on that banner is nowhere near objective, simply because it was created to be SUBJECTIVE. It is not even "timeless" like we claim! Please, my dear La Salle brothers, let us be vigilant about what we put out there. Because in the same way that we speak about our preference to La Salle, to some, Ateneo is on top. Let us respect that. Both are good universities that make the country proud. Let us leave it at that.
masarap talaga maging ATENISTA
*peace*

CONGRATULATIONS VL SALLE
I cried. Yeah, funny, I know. I didn't just cry, I cried like a baby for around 30mins or so. I don't know why I did. I just felt like it. My mom thought that I have lost it.
We lost and it really hit me hard. I know it was just basketball but still, I don't know, I kinda meant a lot for me I guess.
I know that basketball games do not determine the quality of the school, neither can it say something about the school's students, but right now, I feel that it can.
I am still depressed right now. I feel like I'm in deep shit and I think that that loss just added to what I have been feeling (ever since July 07). I feel like I'm the worst person ever. I have been avoiding people. I have been crying a lot alone. I don't want to see my barkada. I don't want to talk to them. As much as possible, I don't want people talking to me since they might ask questions that would probably make me wish I would vanish.
You see, whenever I am with my friends, they would always gang up on me since I am the only one who went to Ateneo. Although I just laugh at them, truth is I am affected. If people gang up on you every time you meet, I think it would somehow affect you too. That is why right now I want to prove something to myself first. Maybe when that time happens, I would finally be able to face people.
I am such a DRAMA QUEEN. I know. That's just how it is.
Anyway... enough of the drama.
FACT: Ateneo won 3 of their 5 games versus La Salle. (Although they lost games that really mattered)
ANIMO ATENEO!
GO ATENEO! ONE BIG FIGHT!
MASARAP MAGING ATENISTA!!!

Splurge Week
Monday: I treated my friend in Bacolod Chicken and I also got to buy the Korean movies and series that I wanted.
Wednesday: I went to the derma with my mom and my aunts. I had my usual treatment. I also bought my meds.
Side story: We passed by Rajo Laurel’s store before going to the derma. While my mom and I were reading magazines in the waiting area, the owner passed by us. He gave a second look then said “pretty.” Oooh… flattering! Sharing! Hahaha…
Thursday: I bought a pair of crocs mary janes in grape. I fell in love with the color plus I really wanted to get that style. I’m loving them! No actual photo though coz they are quite dirty at the moment since it has been raining lately.

Friday: After having lunch in Bubble Tea with my officemates, I passed by Adidas to check on the Ateneo Apparel. I was able to get a jacket that fit perfectly!

Official Ateneo Adidas Jacket
Saturday: I went to Greenhills with my mom. She decided to buy my iPod from me so I bought a new one. I got an 8gb iPod nano in blue. I decided to purchase a small one coz I realized I won’t be needing an iPod with a huge capacity since I am going to get a laptop anyway. I am currently putting my songs and videos in it. I can now easily share the videos that I have edited. The cover flow feature is really cool! I am now organizing all the songs that I put so that it would look good in cover flow.

Mama's 60gb iPod Photo & my new 8gb iPod Nano

Now I’m back to stingy Phoebe, my old self, coz I need to save up for that laptop!

GO ATENEO
Guess... hahahahaha!!!
Of course the BLUE BLOODED EAGLES!
It was a very exciting game. Ateneo was the first to score but then two of its prices players were fouled so they were taken out of the game. La Salle then had an advantage. They scored a lot. There was even a point wherein La Salle was 11 points ahead of Ateneo. But then Ateneo came back at them.
During the last minute, Ateneo was behind La Salle by 1 point. Chris Tiu then made a 3-point-shot.
This gave Ateneo a 2 point lead. La Salle struggled in the last few seconds. La Salle's Maierhofer made a 2-point-shot. He thought they were tied and that they would still play for overtime. Too bad the video cleared it. He let go of the ball too late. Time ran out so .....
FINAL SCORE:89-87
THE BLUE EAGLES WON!!!

Sore Losers
Here’s a little-known fact on the Lago rule. During an ADMU-DLSU game (I think it was in the first round of 1991), the Lago brothers inadvertently spent around 10 secounds on the court together because of some confusion during a substitution. Elmer Lago eventually left the curt, LA Salle went on to win, and Ateneo placed the game under protest.
La Salle argued that it was an honest mistake and that those 10 seconds did not affect the outcome of the game since it happened in the second (or was it third?) quarter. The Board sided with La Salle, voting 6-0.
A quote from a Sore Loser:
(quote from franz pumaren on a game protested by UE against dlsu….. “...games should be decided on the basketball court and not in board rooms…”)
*****Ateneo still won.. No doubt about it.. La Salle-SORE LOSER!
Would someone in his right mind enjoy something he did not work for? Nope! La Salle lang yan.. Uy ang laki na ng ngiti nila.. yihee.. smile na yan.. Uy nag smile nga.. You're probably from La Salle then..
Share ko lang.. My mom turned Pumaren down when they were still teenagers.. Now I know why.. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Sore loser. Loser. Loser. LOSER!
Ganyan siguro pag 1 year na hindi naka play ng basketball sa UAAP. Mashadong sabik sa panalo. Cheaters na sore losers pa! Why don't you guys go do your homeworks instead of watching the games?
(If you're from La Salle don't waste your time. Don't mind my post. )

Graduating
4 years ago, I just finished high school. I was not sure where to go. Was I to choose the color green or the color blue. After the days of thinking, I finally decided that I would go and enroll in THE ATENEO. Well, it was nearer our place, that was why. My brother also studies there. It would save us a lot of money if I were to go there. We were able to save school bus expenses. That was important since we are not rich. So, I ended up studying in Ateneo, although studying in La Salle would result to finishing earlier.

Papa, Pauline, Poj and I went to Burgoo Tomas Morato to eat dinner. 20% discount baby! hahaha.. I saw a lot of Ateneans there including Megan, Mel,and Anj. It was probably because of our 20% discount coupons. hahaha!
Yesterday, April 1, We had lunch with the Abesamis people in
random thought: I want to go to different beaches!

Blue Roast
So, yeah, I had so much fun! Vikki, Megan, Mel, and Anj gave their blue roses to their long time crushes. Super kilig as in!!! I was kinda jealous though coz I sooo wanted to give my rose to a long time crush too. Problem was, I don't have a long time crush. So there...
I got to have my picture taken with Father Nebres. Yey!!! Love it!!!
I liked the Blue Roast video.. Reminiscing talaga.. And I realized that we all watched the same shows when we were kids... Jologs!!! We knew all the stuff they showed.. hahaha.. Super laugh trip talaga!!!
I also liked the fireworks!
We all went to Embassy afterwards.. Shempre it was full of Ateneans. Free eh. The magic word? "Blue Roast" Wahahaha!!!
gotta sleep.. mass tom...

Senior Syndrome
i went to the comtech send-off party in capones.. i had so much fun with my batchmates..
after the party, vikki, megan and i went to kopi roti. the three of us had a long chat.. talked about our experiences in the Ateneo since we were in first year..
After our chat, i brought vikki and megan home.. While I was driving along commonwealth alone, I realized that the three of us have been friends since 1st year.. we were course blockmates and English blockmates. This made us close I guess. Can't believe that it's already been four years since we all met each other. damn! time flies so fast!
Anyway, imma stop my senti mode. i have to reserve it for grad. 18 days to go...
>>>at Atenista nga ako.. may picture na ako with ***** ***! wahahaha (ngiti hanggang tenga)
