.:. HIGHEST GRADE:
1.0 nga.

.:. LOWEST:
3.0 nga.

.:. WORST EXPERIENCE SA UP:
actually, i couldn't immediately think of anything! i guess nung kelangan ko pang habulin ang lintik na m. conde (who apparently later was stripped of her masters degree and was banished from UP for plagiarizing some academic paper or something) for kasaysayan 2 ata kasi di nya ko nabigyan ng final grade. same as fucking joi barrios who has lost my respect forever din kasi kelangan ko pang maghabol so she could give me a grade. as in wala ako sa list ng students nya for the final grade sa grading sheet, that whore.

.:. LAGI KA BANG PUMAPASOK SA KLASE?
yes

.:. ANO'NG ORG MO?
naging UP quill for a while pero di ko tinuloy.

.:. MAY SCHOLARSHIP KA BA?
i was a university and college scholar a number of times; i also got a modest undergrad thesis grant from sonny belmonte's office. other than that, i paid regular tuition, which was pretty cheap naman.

.:. PINANGARAP MO BANG MAG-CUM LAUDE?
i knew i wanted to graduate with honors. was .5 shy of being magna cum laude, huhuhu, cos i never computed grades or anything, just gave it a shot. i did graduate cum laude.

.:. KELAN KA NAGTAPOS?
i graduated april 2000.

.:. FAVE PROFS:
sir butch dalisay (he was my prof thrice). vim nadera and neil garcia (who was my prof in 3 or 4 classes ata) were also great.

.:. WORST TEACHERS:
joi barrios, m. conde (i really forgot her first name). um, isabel banzon-mooney was good naman but effectively and unwittingly killed my desire to write poetry in the end. i also didn't really like heidi abad for CW writing for children. i dropped that crazy prof e. paglinawan for film 100 in mass comm (it was an elective), cos yun nga, she was a little crazy and way too strict.

.:. FAVE SUBJECTS:
i liked performance poetry cos it was really interesting. in general i liked my lit and CW subjects best. i also really liked one of my electives, photography as art. we got to study pretty awe-inspiring photos.

.:. WORST SUBJECTS:
math 1

.:. FAVE LANDMARKS:
sunken garden, FC hardin ng mga diwata, UP film center, UP theater.

.:. BUILDING:
FC, UP theater, UP film center.

.:. PABORITONG KAINAN:
thai canteen that used to be near asian studies. likha diwa.

.:. NOONG ESTUDYANTE KA PA MAGKANO BA ANG BINABAYAD MO SA JEEP?
gosh i can't remember, but it was much cheaper then.

.:. LAGI KA BA SA LIB?
not as often as i should've been, unfortunately.

.:. NAGPUNTA KA BA SA CLINIC NUNG MINSANG NAGKASAKIT KA?
no. i did go there for the physical exam that was required upon acceptance to UP.

.:. MAY CRUSH KA BA SA CAMPUS?
yeah, random guys here and there that i didn't know all too well.

.:. BF/GF?
no. and i still haven't found the right guy! :(

.:. MAY BALAK KA BA MAG-MASTERS O MAG-PHD?
MFA or masters abroad on a scholarship... hopefully, eventually. PhD, am not too sure yet. hopefully.

.:. ANU-ANO ANG MGA NAGING PE MO?
swimming, bowling (with duck pins!), running for fitness (i mean, is there another reason in PE? run for your life?), self defense.

.:. KAMUSTA NAMAN ANG BLOCK NYO?
ok lang. quite a few of em shifted to mass comm. used CW as a stepping stone. i didn't form lasting friendships with most of em.

.:. NAKAPANOOD KA NA BA NG GRADUATION SA UP?
yes... my own! and another one after i graduated.

.:. MEMORIZE MO BA ANG ALMA MATER SONG?
nope

.:. MEMBER KA BA NG UP VARSITY TEAM?
nope

.:. NAKA-PERFECT KA NA BA NG EXAM?
i think so.

.:. ANO'NG AYAW MO SA FINALS WEEK?
it's hell week, naghahabol ka, cramming... everything's hectic and this was usually the period for extreme lack of sleep. i remember nodding off once inside the ikot jeep. imagine, it was such a short ride!

.:. DITO KA BA NATUTONG UMINOM NG BEER?
no, sa dumaguete workshop (when i was 19) ako natutong uminom ng beer. red horse pa!

.:. ANO'NG GUSTO MO SA UP?
the open grounds, the shady trees, the fact that it was "the best" and we as students were special (that iskolar ng bayan thing), the considerable academic freedom, the fact that you could encounter all sorts of people and opinions and beliefs there. the lantern parade, the hardin ng mga diwata, the streaking frat guys (a.k.a. the oblation run, which i only got to witness once), the affordable rock concerts.

.:. ANO'NG AYAW MO?
sometimes my profs were pretty lazy and i felt short-changed. also the reams of readings we were expected to read for nat sci and STS and math 1 and such... it was impossible! i mean, we had lives too, you know.

.:. MAGANDA/GUWAPO BA ID PIC MO?
god, i looked horrid there!

.:. MAY GINAWA KA NA BANG ILLEGAL SA LOOB NG CAMPUS?
if eating pieces of hash in between peanut butter cream cookies is considered illegal at the sunken garden during the UP fair, then yes.
