Favorite GE subject when you were an undergrad: English 11! It was well worth the early rise, 7am eh!
Favorite non-Aguman tambayan: Dorm!
I was convinced to join UP Aguman because of Haidee! Haha! Bawal plastic diba? Ayaw ni Wendy ng ganun!
The thing I miss the most about Aguman is the people, more than the traditions, they define what Aguman is and Aguman will be. They portray 'home' in Aguman's famous tag 'home away from home'.
The best thing about being an AguPip is you get to be a part of an exclusive group comprising of successful individuals who have respective careers and persevering folks who are striving to stay afloat at Up.
Back in college, the worst rule I broke was hmmm.. dorm rules definitely! Haha!
The best thing about living in a dorm is in my case, the fact that I have met wonderful people at my stay in both Kamia and Sampa. I was lucky to have had great roomies from first year til fourth. I consider these gals as extended fam since they have endured living with me despite my space looking like a bomb site. Most importantly they have been great confidants and allies.
Makulay ang buhay sa sinabawang gulay dahil ayaw ko ng dry! In fairness, mepaisip ku! Translation: Eko buri deng malangi! Haha!
If only I could turn back time I would still choose to fall in love. It's a magical experience worth going through over and over and over again.
The worst thing about men is is that they think that their role as 'manliligaw' ends when someone agrees to become their girl.
What I like in a man is his ability to make me feel like the most drop dead gorgeous knockout beauty on earth – and beyond, haha!
The difference between a boy and a man is the ability of the latter to know what 'commitment' means and is more than willing to be handcuffed to it. The salvation of a relationship depends on the ability of the couple to stick to that they have committed to -- which is loving each other despite everything.
The thing people don't know about love is that it is a sensationalized emotion (more like over-rated kilig) but often times it is taken for granted (especially when the kilig fades).
The best thing about being single is that you don't have to feel guilty when you give excessive time for other stuff and people.
Love, indeed, is my sweetest downfall because I lose all rationality when I fall in love. It is indeed my waterloo. However, despite the fact, I would still choose to love twice over given the perfect fall.
Finding the one shouldn't be so hard if only I am not stuck in believing that I have already found him.
Just because you can rationalize your actions doesn't mean you can expect others to see things your way.
I can survive anything because I have God with the promise to never forsake me, my family with the vow to support me and friends with the guarantee that they've got booze, chocolates et al to make me forget the throbbing pain in my heart. These have been the people who have been there to give me a nice warm hug (or a smack in the head) during the times when I got my heart crushed, left in mid-air or transformed into plain bonkers.
Message to fellow alumni: Hello po! In behalf of the resident mems, they plead for your generous assistance. They do accept gifts and advice but they need cash, haha! Our mantra says it all, right?
Message to the AguPips: Acads: shoot for the moon! Even if you miss it, you will land among the stars. Meaning, go lang ng go, effort means 3.0 sometimes. Hehe! Lovelife: Dyan tayo magaling, keep the fire burning! Haha! Sa org: habang maikli ang kumot, matutong mamaluktot, kapag humaba na huwag gupitin. Also, like family, you can't choose your siblings, so put up with your differences, you are not required to like or love one another but you are required to work together.

Favorite GE subject when you were an undergrad: Comm III (Practical Speech Fundamentals)
Favorite non-Aguman tambayan: Hmm.. track oval siguru. Mandakap fireflies.. hehe!
I was convinced to join UP Aguman because: My best friend Carol was joining so I decided to join as well. Tas me-addict naku tambay.
The thing I miss the most about Aguman is: the people talaga — my family away from home. I miss the laughter, the jokes. I miss being in the tambayan, makipagkwentu mu after a long day. Miss ku ne din itang Cloud 9 na bench, hehe!
The best thing about being an AguPip is: you get to experience the behind the scenes of the biggest happenings in Pampanga — CEER, Pautakan, Sining! Naks! Favorite experience ku questions night. And since bully ku, favorite ku din pag Final Rites! Bwahaha!
Back in college, the worst rule I broke was: ala eh, good girl ku.
The best thing about living in Dormitoryana is: no curfew. At Dormitoryana, we have gazebos na pwedi tambayan especially ding couples. Super cozy. ‘Tas malapit pa gana-gana—Rustan’s, National. Ala pa problem food, kasi whatever you feel like eating, lumwal ka mu dorm and lakaran ing whole stretch ning Katipunan akit mu na buri mu kanan.
If only I could turn back the time, I would have been less of a brat.
The worst thing about men is that women can spend all day trying to look good for them and they never notice.
What I like in a man is his ability to make a woman feel like a princess. Kahit paminsan-minsan mu.. hehe!
The difference between a boy and a man is a boy will give you headaches and heartaches. A man will give you love and commitment.
The thing people don't know about love is that it’s holding on and not giving up. It’s about having faith and believing. It’s not all magic — it’s commitment through and through. Love is about second chances.
The best thing about being single is that you get to know yourself better — your likes and dislikes, without influences.
Bebi Joman is my sweetest downfall because he made me realize that even the best can sometimes make you cry and break your heart.
Finding the one shouldn't be so hard if only “the one” will cooperate. Minsan kasi ikit mu ne kasu masyas ya buntuk! Or mulala ya! Tas mantun ya pa aliwa ne! Hmph!
Just because you can hide the tears, it doesn't mean you can stop the hurting.
I can survive anything because I know that with a dose of patience, everything will fall into place.
Makulay ang buhay sa sinabawang gulay dahil: err, shucks! I’m stuck! Ali ke balu sagutan ini! Hmm, pass namu. Whole day ku ne isipan, ala talaga!!!
Message to fellow alumni: Miss you guys na!!! Sana we’ll get the chance to go out soon! I miss having fun with you guys! Tambay ta naman!!! Hehe! Karing Kasaup, reunion naman ken!!!
Message to the residents: Luguran ye ing org. It’s not all about fun—it’s work and dedication. Be there when the org needs you. Tsaka pala, karing girls—don’t fall in love with AguBoys, look for AguMen, hehe!

Favorite GE Subject when you were an undergrad: PI 100 – “Natuwa ako nang lubos kay Sir Atienza noon.” Aganaka ku kanita me-fascinate kung sobra kareng things na eku pa balu kang Rizal. Aldo-aldo lagi ku atyu Main Lib to read. As in! Favorite kung diling babasan kanta is about his retraction.
Favorite non-Aguman Tambayan: 34G – it always felt home there, pati nyang tyu la pa ri Lang king second floor. I miss the dinners, Thursday movie marathons at kapag babagyu at alang classes. I miss the people, reng “ninuno”. Haha!
I was convinced to join UP Aguman because of Ate Joyce dela Cruz. Nyang minuna hesitant ku, pero dyang ikit ku na la katarayan reng alwa, kebs, masaya lang kayabe reng batchmates ku at ri Glenn, Lang, Marc, Edong, Kuya Bondi, Kuya Mike, and deng alwa pang “pundasyun” ng panahung ita. ;p
The thing I miss the most about Aguman is being a resident mem, the pips, and the old tambayan (kadakal e ne!). Yup, I am still happy kapag gatherings pero aliwa talaga pag you’re “in” it, itang part ka king planning and pagal. At kung magnet ya ing tambayan ngeni, I think mas ing old tambayan. It’s circular kasi tapus pag padatang ka, center of attraction talaga.
The best thing about being an Agupip is being one! Yapin na ita! Dyang madakal issues minsan king org man or within the mems, masaya pa rin. I found home here.
Back in college, the worst rule I broke was: not signing ON (overnight) in our logbook in Sampa not just once! Our dorm manager reprimanded me, “Anong klase daw akong babae at kung saan saan napupunta.” Sobrang kamwa ku kanta, mengaga kung todo hanggang meg-hyperventilate ku pa. Hay, Ma’am Jimenez talaga!
If only I could erase a part of my life, I would erase the part when I started living for someone who did not give a damn about what we went through.
The worst thing about men is their cliché break up line/s: “It’s not you. It’s me. You deserve someone way better than me.” Why do men say that but find someone else to love? Does that mean we’re better than the one they choose to love? I do not think so. I believe some men are just too coward to face confrontations, to explain elaborately. But the hell! After all what you’ve been through together, all you get is just, “I do not know.” Haaay..
What I like in a man is his commitment. Any man can love a woman’s good attributes but not any ordinary man can love a woman at her worst may it be physical or behavioral. It is quite easy for a man to get a woman of his dreams but a man who truly knows how to love keeps her.
The difference between a boy and a man is that boys don’t cry but men do. Haha! Gasgas na to. Actually, there is not much difference between them. It is not age or maturity that defines a man, it is his actions. I rather have a boy who loves and keeps me than a man who cannot even stand up for me.
Makulay ang buhay sa sinabawang gulay dahil arrrrrrgh Rex! This is the most difficult question! ;p
The thing people don’t know about love is nothing. There is nothing I know that other people don’t know about love. I believe I am not an isolated case. But if I may correct one thing I believe is a misconception, there is no such thing as true love ‘cause that will be redundant. Love, in nature, is true. And I believe an ended “love” is not love at all. Love is boundless, unending. Just what was the thing I just shared with him then? I do not know.
The best thing about being single is being free - free from disappointments, from self-destruction. People tend to forget about themselves when they love. Being single has its downsides as well, especially if you have been so accustomed to being with someone you love and someone who loves you back. But I am glad I found me again.
‘Budatsing is my sweetest downfall because yes, he had hurt me terribly. I had sleepless nights. Everyday was a torture. But I was happy when we were still together, so happy. He made me feel like I was the most gorgeous and precious gf in the world. We were ready to spend our whole lives together. But it had to end. Now I know why. I just hope knowing will make me understand why.
Finding the one shouldn’t be so hard if only we are willing to let go of the person we once thought was “the one”. Just because you can forgive, it doesn’t mean you can forget. Haha! So cliché again. But that says it all.
I can survive anything because I love living. Life is too short and precious to grieve forever. Tears may trickle down my cheeks once in a while but they can’t wash away my zest for life and my quest for true happiness and the “real” one.
Note: I am not looking for someone who will love me better than he did or for someone who will love me more than I can love him - just someone who will simply love me and who will be with me in my best and is brave enough to see me through my worst and still wants to keep me.
Message to fellow alumni: Guys, I miss you sooooo much. Thank you for making my stay in the org worthwhile. Distance and time may separate some of us pero ikatamu deng tipung dyang dekada pa e miaakit siguradung mipagtrip at busit pa rin, kwento galore, and simply have fun once mikit-ikit ulit. Pag mekaluwag luwag ta na, let us not forget to give back to the org that once cradled and gave so much to us.
Message to the residents: Youngsters! ;p Aguman more than an org is a family, I know you know and feel that by now. In any family ena man puro saya, eyu rin kakalingwan magobra and balu ku naman na madakal nala pegbayu reng pipol since us. Aguman has opened a lot of doors for me. I experienced some, if not most, of my happiest moments when I was a resident mem as well. It taught me to lead, to follow, to obey, to break rules, to have fun, to love... I know Aguman will have the same effect on you guys. Enjoy every minute Agupips! As Mel (Ambula 2000-A) said, “Love the org and the org will love you back.”
