001. Tony Blair delivered a speech in Ateneo. Tell you what. Its free and open for the public. Grrr. Well, open for the Ateneo public.
He also delivered a speech in Sofitel. This one for La Salle. And the seats here are quite expensive, no, expensive pala talaga.
SAD. Ang underprivileged at unfortunate talaga ng mga UP students sa ganitong bagay. :|

002. Nakakaluha. I watched the video of Indayog's Nike Competing Team. Galing! And I misssss dancing. What made me sad eh yung video by Kuya Bab. Aww.
***
003. I can't sleep well because of the effing MATH 11. Arrrg. Grabe! This one will be an epic failure for me, if ever!
***
004. My UP Manila Webmail account is already working. HAPPPPPPPY!
***
005. I hate those who underrate UP Manila. Really. And what's so surprising is that those people that I'm talking about are currently in UP Manila. They'll be shifting in Diliman next semester. I hope they get in there. I don't want them here naman.
And another thing, they also hate Political Science. Well, I have nothing against to those who hate PolSci. What made me hate them is that they are in PolSci right now. EFF.

I Challenge Atenistas and La Sallistas
Tony Meloto, Gawad Kalinga president, in a lecture/speech/seminar with the Association of Parents and Counselors of the University of the Philippines Manila provides insights in the growing issues/controversies of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines final game between the DLSU Green Archers and the ADMU Blue Eagles.
In his speech, he discusses his programs for Gawad Kalinga, a non-governmental organization established to promote housing to the poor's and homeless. Building villages, GK proved to be successful as it promotes partnership to big corporations, politicians and religious and civic groups.
He inserted a short opinion of him regarding the P20, 000 ticket sold but originally bought as P325. This, according to him is stupidity and an act of displaying elitism as he quoted an article from the Philippine Daily Inquirer.
What is best about his speech is this:
"I challenge Ateneo and La Salle, paramihan ng matatayong bahay. Let them do something good for the nation. Instead of going to Araneta and fighting for something that is absurd, let them continue the fight with a noble cause. Siugurado ako, mapupuno ang Pilipinas ng berde at asul na village. I can visualize thousands of La Salle Green Archers Villages and thousands from the Ateneo Blue Eagles alike."
"I challenge Ateneo and La Salle to build a home for UP students, the UP students to be teachers without wages, and other universities to contribute to the betterment of our country."

On UAAP 2008 Cheerdance Competition
Let me congratulate the wonderful members of the UP Pep Squad, the coaches, its supporters and everyone who believes that the UP Pep Squad is indeed superior in the recent cheering competition. Cheeeeers! Sugod! ( la sallistas, atenistas, and thomasians may refer to this cheer as Tugod! )
I will try to evaluate them, i'm no expert, just want to share my comments about their performances, in order according to their ranks in the 2008 UAAP Cheerdance Competition.
National University Pep Squad
( this is their second year sa competition diba? Good enough! I enjoyed their performance, just next time, NUians support your own, lalo na at may cheer audibility sa criteria! Love your own!)
De La Salle University Animo Squad
( the squad's performance was way way better than their last year's! Enough reason to congratulate them! cheers! For me, the futuristic effect/theme is not mabenta kasi the members of the squad is not that futuristic kung mag-act and another minus is the squad's energy, ang low eh! )
University of the East Pep Squad
( no comment. i'm a bit disturbed nung performance nila eh, kaya i was not able to see kung what ang performance, pero i just saw that many are falling, and many failed to execute their part in routines )
Adamson University Pep Squad
( cheers! I enjoyed Adamson's performance! Magaling! I thought they would be bagging a place in the top three! Pero, next time, follow rules, sa mataas nyong pyramid na nag wow ang everyone ang nag cause ng deductions sa inyo! You really have to exert efforts sa transitions nyo, yung iba hindi masaya! )
Ateneo De Manila University Blue Babble Battalion
( the props were awesome! The dances were good though the much needed gymnastics part is lacking on your part, lalo na ang criteria eh focusing on the gymnastics, keep on rocking blue eagles! )
Far Eastern University Cheering Squad
( the squad's performances were really blazing! They poses as a threat to UST and UP dahil maganda talaga ang performance nila! And another plus, in uniforms rin ang kanilang crowd! Haha! The costumes is another plus pa pala! Let's go Tamaraws! )
University of Santo Tomas Salinggawi Dance Troupe
( judging from their past performances, this year's was not better though the dances are good and they still manipulates the floor, kita pa rin sa face nila na nag aantayan sila! Low energy rin, it could have been another bragging rights for them kung nakuha nila ang crown kung ginalingan nila! But still, the Go Uste cheer is so good! Narcosis! Cheeeeeeers, Go Uste! )
University of the Philippines Pep Squad
( galing, at the start of the music palang at routines, isang malaking hey champion kami! Grabe ang difficulty ng routines ah, at lahat ay nag perperform talaga! Everybody is doing gymnastics, walang selected few! Unique pa ang theme! After the rock song (2007), folk-dance (2005), ngayon ay Tribo naman! And that man in the last part, Oble, benta! morale booster talaga sya pati sa crowd! Sadly, hindi masyadong na execute ng iba dahil sa hirap ng routines! Unibersidad ng Pilipinas! U! Congrats! Love ittttt! Kinakilabutan parin ako pag napapanood ko ang UP Pep Squad! )
----------------------------------
I'm with my bestfriend (go uste sya!) nung nanood ako! Lower box kame, thanks for the ticket dad! Nasa harap ko ay ang UP PRESIDENT na si EMERLINDA ROMAN, and on my side naman is ATE GLOW! Haha. Grabe ah, ganun pala manood ng live, labanan ng banners! Haha.
400 eats 100 (hello, 397 pa lang kayo! haha! excited ah ... baka di matuloy yan!)
U CANT BEAT SALINGGAWI TWICE (excited for the thrice!)
UST, Benchmark of Excellence (e bat, pakilala ng studio23 sa UP eh, benchmark of excellence, creativity and originality, parang self-proclaimed naman kayo!)
Salinggawi, BABAWI! (kelan?)
Nope. Di ako masama! Tignan nyo naman, most of the word wars are started by the thomasians talaga, walang ka banner banner ang UP noh!.
Ay meron pala, eto oh!
