Favorite GE subject when you were an undergrad:
Comm III. Parang naglalaro lang. Fun siya.


Favorite non-Aguman tambayan:
Kamia – tulog tulog lang, hehe, and SM North.


I was convinced to join UP Aguman because:
Super bait ni Kong Bondi (then MemComm Head) sa amin (me, Joyce and Dice) noong Acquaintance Party.


My favorite Aguman memory is:
Just hanging out with my fave people in UP. I even miss a few classes just to do this!


The best thing about being an AguPip is:
the friendship and camaraderie. Being an AguMember helped me develop my personality and leadership skills. It made my resume impressive. It even helped me find one of my forte: events organizing!


Anyang resident ku pa, lagi dang bubusit kanaku ing:
pagiging 'jealous buddy' ku kang Glenn. While I was still a resident, hindi siya nagka-buddy. Once lang siya nagkaroon, hindi pa natuloy, kasi pati sa Kamia, naintimidate sa akin. Kaya everytime na may Buddy Bidding, medyo off-limits si Glenn. Haha!


The difference between college life and the real world is:
In UP, you are with your equals and are almost always on the same wavelength. In the real world, it is not so easy to be understood. It is so frustrating at times when they don't get you.


Back in college, the worst rule I had broken was:
Hmmm...cutting classes? Laging maximum 6 absences ako per class, hehe! Well, except STS. 3 times lang ako pumasok dun. =P


The best thing about my work is:
having a sense of fulfillment. It makes me happy that I get to do things I love and earn at the same time.


The greatest injustice in the world is:
there are a lot! hirap mamili!


The most over-rated celebrity is:
Heart Evangelista though thank God laos na sya now. ha!


If I could food-binge on something for a day without health consequence, I would eat:
Sta Rita's sansrival! It's the best. Nothing is like it. Starbucks' sansrival came close but not quite. Kakaiba siya talaga.


My favorite guilty pleasure is:
food, eating. Gluttony is my favorite sin.


If I had more free time, I would:
spend them all with my fiancé and my family. I don't have a lot of free time but when I do get some I just hang at home with my loved ones.


The thing that annoys me the most is:
slow people, mga walang common sense, mga walang diskarte. I hate repeating myself. Maikli ang pasensya ko.


Message to fellow alumni: Hope to see you soon! Sa mga kasabayan ko sa Aguman, hope to see you guys on my wedding. I already told you about the date diba =)
Forever in UP Aguman we will belong! Keep the org's spirit alive in your hearts!

Message to the residents:
Enjoy your stay in UP especially in the org. Love it! You are lucky to be in Aguman!
