How did you know about the ACET results?
i asked my childhood friend chiara (then an incoming junior in ADMU) to go check them with me on the day the results were posted. then i got an after-the-fact acceptance letter via my high school guidance counselor. i still have the letter somewhere.

Was Ateneo your first choice?
yes. i had been brainwashed by my sister since seventh grade. briefly considered junking ADMU for UP when i passed the UPCAT, for the mere fact that i thought there was no way i'd pass it in a million years

Do you know what your ACET score is?
they told us much later but i forgot the details. basta excellent yung english and abstract reasoning tapos very poor yung math.

What course was your first choice?
comm

Second choice?
commtech (we might have been blockmates, jayme!)

bachelor of arts in assembly-line manufacturing

a beautiful campus, philo classes, mark escaler and doreen fernandez, the wonderful people at the OSA and OAA, teaching people how to think
