Okay, so there really is no battle between the two. I mean, UP for me has no worthy rivals while Ateneo’s famous rival is La Salle. Haha! They are just my and Josh’s Alma Maters.
As most of you don’t know, I am way ahead of Joshua when we were in school. I was 15 when I entered college and he was also 15 when he was in 2nd year high school. Haha. Since he studied in Ateneo, he had to go through Grade 7. He even went through Nursery, Kindergarten, and Prep while I only had to go through Kindergarten once before I stepped into Grade One, and yes, wala kaming Grade 6. In other words, isang taon lang ako nag-aral tapos Grade 1 na agad. Yun. (Yabang no? Haha.) Basta student number ko 99, sya 02. Graduate ako ng ‘03 sya ‘06. Tsk. I’m 25, he’s 24. I’m 5′7″, he’s 5′X”.
So what’s the point? Wala. It just so happened Josh and I visited our schools last Friday, Aug. 22, because he needed to get a copy of his diploma for his new job (yey!). Since he was going, I decided to go too and get mine from UP after what, 5 years? Gosh. I can’t believe it’s been that long. I’ve only been to Peyups five times since I submitted my thesis. First time to get my Sablay, second for my graduation, third to have dinner at Chocolate Kiss, fourth after we visited the Mango Farm and I wanted to eat at Rodics, and lastly, for our pre-nup shoot.
Josh, on the other hand, hasn’t been to Ateneo since his graduation so imagine his excitement that he’d be going to what has been his 2nd home for almost two decades. He’s a Blue Blooded Atenean, meaning he studied Grade School, High School, and College there. And he’s very, very, very proud of that. (Hay naku sakit sa ulo.) (more…)
