4. Was Ateneo your first choice? Yes (because of my mom). Then UP. I would’ve gone to UP also but my mom was scared that I’ll turn out an “aktibista”. So since my allowance was coming from her, I didn’t argue. It turned out for the best, I think.

57. Ever saw Marikina during the night from OM? Yes, so romantic...

58. Ever walked around school very late into the night? Yes. some find it creepy. i find it romantic...

59. Ever had an embarrassing moment? Yes!!!! I think the most embarrassing was when I was signing up for my Philo class during Junior year. I talked to this guy behind the desk, deciding which professor to get (all the good ones were full). And he asked me, “Bakit ayaw mo ditto kay Mariano, maluwang pa”. I told him that people told me not to take him kasi di daw magaling. But since his slot was the best sched that will fit mine, I signed up. It turned out that the guy behind the desk was Mariano. I wanted the floor to swallow me during the first day of class. He turned out to be a good professor, albeit, in a weird-funny way. I got high grades from him too.

60. Have you ever had a heartbreak while in school? Yes, but not because of someone I met in school. Some high school jerk. Jerk. Jerk.

61. Did you have fun while in college? YES, the BEST 4 years of my life. So far. I almost cried while packing my stuff. After all the flurry of activities, orgs, meetings, inuman, papers, deadlines, terror professors, crushes... the enormity of the whole thing ending dawned on me. I realized that Ateneo was my home for 4 whole years, and I was leaving it. I was sadder leaving school than leaving my real family. But things have to end. We need to move on and grow up. The consolation I hold on to is the fact that I had a great time when I was in college. And that will never leave me.
