Passion. It is what keeps a person going, even when it seems there’s no other place to go. For others, it might be quite hard to hold on to that drive to go on but it’s not impossible, especially for someone like Ann.

Ann, or Annie, as most of her close friends would call her, can be described as someone with so much passion. Ann sure is a very busy body... literally!

Here we have a scientist in the making who manages to make terminally ill children happy, who makes sure that the campus is safe, who stays in touch with her friends, and runs a seasonal business. How does she manage to do all these things and manage to smile like that in front of the camera? One can only guess. :)

And yet, with all this, she still finds time to enjoy herself, her life. She is a very talented young woman who can not only play the guitar but dances pretty well, too, although sometimes, she gets a little shy and it kind of gets the best of her. Well, at least now she’s learning to be more daring and confident. Hey, it’s such a waste not to show-off those moves, right?

I am a scorpion of molded clay. You are a subconscious stream sleepy woodwinds play. I am phlogiston that burns away. You are two scoops of ice cream on a rainy day. As we are those, it never comes, not even close.

The name Chito was given by his mother during his childhood days. It came from the Spanish word Ramoncito that means young Ramon that eventually led to Chito.. Huh? That makes a lot of sense now!

He loves all kinds of music that varies according to his mood. He’s fond of playing the guitar that he learned to play by himself. A man of few words, most of them in French, this dude can crack you up anytime with his no nonsense take on life. He’s very devoted to his family, is into adventure and good clean fun. He loves sports, he’s into cooking and low key conversations. Chito may seem to be the quiet type, but be careful, with his enigmatic smile, this guy has more than a few antics up his sleeve. One weird thing about him: he barely recognizes showbiz celebrities—he’s not even sure how Aga Mulach looks like !?! And he hardly understands some Filipino words.

Lastly, he’s a gay magnet… waHAHAHAHAHA!

A lot of people would have had incomplete college lives if not for Marge. She may not be everybody’s friend, but she’s friends with a lot of people especially the members of the Ateneo Chemical Society and the Ateneo Science Guild— a fact that’s not surprising considering she has headed both. Having her either as a friend or as a leader is an extraordinary experience mainly because she’s an extraordinary person. Not only is she intelligent, organized, responsible, caring, generous, funny, a perfectionist, and a paragon of magis, but she is also “manipulative,” frank, a chronic gossiper, a pasalubong addict, and the giggliest chemist ever. She’s a very hardworking lady and dreams of (in addition to becoming filthy rich,) becoming a great wife and mother someday: an easily achievable dream, if not for her allergy towards anesthesia and the desire for her progeny to be all geniuses.

Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits. – Thomas Jefferson

Isa sa mga may pinakahayag na opinion itong si Mike. Pagdating sa usaping pulitika, relihiyon, pilosopiya, o anumang mainit na isyu, asahan mong may makukuha kang komento. Magbigay ka lang ng isyu ay hintayin mo na ang malakas na boses na mabilis na tutugon sa iyo. Sarkastiko man siya (minsan?), may paninindigan pa rin.

Marami raw kasing taglay ang malalaki. Punung-puno ng kuro-kurong nais ipaalam sa iba, nag-uumapaw sa sayang maidadala sa anumang okasyon, nagsusumiksik sa mga hirit at patawa sa mga kaibigan, at nananaba sa tunay sa pag-ibig. Mula sa pagtulong niya sa mga gawain sa ACheS, sa masigasig na pakikipagtalakayan sa klase, sa mapaglarong pang-aasar sa mga kaibigan, sa mapagmahal na pakikisama sa mga chem buddy, at iba pa, makikita ang yaman na naihahandog ni Mike. Puno ng libog, ika nga. (Passion po sa Ingles)

Ito si Mike. Mabuting kaibigan, mag-aaral, manlolohika, analitiko, pilosopo, manghihirit, kimiko, kuya, at marami pang iba.

Christine - French, English female version of Christian— From a medieval Latin name that meant “Christian”. This was the name of ten kings of Denmark. Another famous bearer of the name was Hans Christian Andersen, the Danish author of such fairy tales as ‘The Ugly Duckling’ and ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’. In medieval England this was also a feminine name.

Christine / Xtin - block, friend version of determination--- ang feeling ay kulang sa: pagkain sa labas, nood ng sine, punta sa event, take ng test, copy ng notes, parties...---- kapag wala si Tin, lalong nagiging makulay ang event pag nandyan ka dahil meron kang isang katangiang wala ako at hinahangaan ko ng husto--katapangan. Kung ako bibigay na, siya go na go pa rin. Hindi napapagod sa buhay, makatotohanan, malaya...

This star from Pampanga knows how to live life to the fullest. Having had the formula to balance his life, Peter knows which things to prioritize. He prays for his family, a concrete sign that he loves them. He loves to socialize, always on the lookout for new friends to meet. Peter also studies diligently, and his grades reflect the efforts he exerts in academics. He also plays sports, such as badminton and table tennis, very well. It is easy to be envious of his well-roundedness, but Peter remains to be extremely humble. He takes in compliments but does not brag about his accomplishments. Peter always challenges himself to be a better person, pushing himself to perform better in various aspects of his life. This is probably why people admire him. He always spends time improving himself, so that he may be able to improve others. Peter is bound to become successful in the future. It is almost written in the stars, but this star from Pampanga will prefer people not to look up to him, but rather, use the light he shines for them.
