December 1999

Catet B. went home to Davao City last November 27-28 to have a procedure done on her at Davao Doctors' Hospital. This because she was sick for a while. She was confined at the same hospital on the said dates.
Tiani S. is now holding a 2nd Lieutenant rank in ROTC in spite of his designation as a Non-Commisioned Officer.
Angie Z. will be performing as a part of the ADMU Arnis Team in the presence of youth from all over Asia on December 2.
Ria J., Angie Z., Mae C. and Peter P. are under Mr. Henri Chiong (remember him???) in Chemistry 7 & 8.
Tiani, Paul T., Ria, Angie and Mae are taking up Tae-kwan-do for PE. The catch: nothing really but the interesting part is that they are gonna be yellow belters by the end of the semester.

October 1999

Angie has been recruited by the Ateneo Arnis Varsity Team and is currently on training.

September 1999

Ria and Angie joined Powermatch '99, a debating tournament for the Ateneo Debate Society. Some students from UPDiliman and Holy Spirit Academy joined the eliminations just for experience. Anyway, they were collectively known as Team Something. They got in the semifinals (no. 8, the last place in the semifinals) and managed to beat the no. 1 and no. 7 placers to qualify in the finals. In the finals, they were pitted against three of the most favored teams in ADS. They, however, didn't win during the finals. Let's hope that they do better next year.
Ria got a 155/200 (B) in their Math Midterms.
Angie just got into the AdMU Arnis Varsity Team. Well, actually she's still in training but let's cross our fingers that she does get in.
Last September 1, AdMU had Alternative Class Program (ACP) Day. All the students had to attend a class/trip of his choice. The choices ranged from pottery to dancing, trips to abscbn to a trip to the mental hospital. Angie attended a paper marbling workshop, Ria a graphology (how to know the personality of a person through his/her handwriting) workshop, Mae a group painting workshop, and Peter P a some sort of business management workshop.
Apparently, Erwil has been doing well in English. In fact, he got a Satisfactory Advisory Grade in English.

August 1999

Angela won as the First Yr Rep of Eliazo Hall, Buddy A. won as the First Yr Rep of Cervini Hall, Kuya Onats Ong of the Prototypes is also in the Executive Board (EB) of the Cervini-Eliazo Residence Halls Students' Association (CERSA). Joey, Glenn, Mae and Catet are also members of CERSA after all the grueling and stressful but enjoyable orientation week.
Angie got As on both her first and second Math 18a long tests which is an unusual occurrence in AdMU (most of her blockmates got C+s, Cs, Ds or Fs). Is it because she was so inspired? or was is just because of the group study she attended? Ask her.
Angie, Mae, Niña, Ana, Donnah, Kate, and Bbboy slept over at Ethel's condo last july 9 and they are now known as RB (rubix barkada). Apparently, most of them spent the night and dawn solving the rubix cube.
Tiani, Joey, Angie, Ariz, Ed, Peter P and Paul are taking up arnis for their PE. So don't you ever mess with them again!
Et is honing his basketball skills while Peter Neil is trying his hand at ping-pong. On a less exciting note, Ria and Mae are taking up PE 101.
The ACET results were recently distributed in the INTAC (sort of homeroom) classes. Ateneo Freshmen Merit Awardees, Angie and Ria, got a percentile rank of 90-99 (very good). The exact scores weren't given but judging from the distinciton they got, we can assume that they aced it. Both also have superior IQs.
Angie, Ria and Mae have joined the Environmental Science Society.It is the home org of the AdMU BS En Sci majors. However, it is still not affiliated with the Council of Activities. The orgs projects are mainly the aluminum recycling program (in cooperation with the Tahanang Walang Hagdan) and the Newspaper Drive.
Angie, Peter Neil and Ria are currently in training under the Ateneo Debate Society. Look out for them for they might just be the next big thing (no pun intended).
Ed celebrated his birthday with his BS Management Information Systems blockmates at Katips.
Donnah is a member of TUGON, a socially-oriented org, and she has just been appointed as the org's 1st yr. rep.
Angie, Glenn and Erwil have been topping their respective Math classes. When did they ever not top their math class? NEVER!
Mayang and Angie stayed up late last August 4. Actually, they were at AdMU's Colayco Hall (building of the orgs) sorting out the donations for the victims of the flash floods.
