OrSem2007: Soundcheck!
The upperclassmen of the Ateneo welcomed the newest batch of students in the Loyola Schools, the Freshies.
They prepared a three-day orientation seminar filled with fun activities, helpful talks, and tiring tours.
The Orientation Seminar or OrSem as we call it is the best thing that could ever happen to a freshman.
This year's theme is Soundcheck.
Here is something that I copied from the OrSem letter:
Soundcheck is perfectly orchestrated to help you harmonize with the acoustics of the Ateneo community. Just like in an orchestra, each one of us has his own instrument. Each one plays different notes. When combined, these notes can form delightful symphonies that move our emotions and describe our own identity as Ateneans - as one big family.
We look forward to being part of this greatest concert in your life - college.
Honestly, for the first two days, I didn't enjoy much. It's not because the activities were boring. The activities were great but it's sad because I didn't make friends yet. For the third day, that's when I gained (a few) new friends.
On the first day...
When we arrived in the cov courts, we registered.
Then the OrSem started with a mass officiated by Fr. Nebres.
After the mass, we went to the Henry Lee Irwin Theatre for the Loyola Schools Presentation.
Some videos were shown and some talks were given then we went back to the cov courts to eat our lunch.
After eating lunch, we went to Faura and had our GDs or group dynamics.
We played some games. The first game was Pornstar game, I think.
And my pornstar name is "Potchie San Miguel".
hahaha.
On the second day...
We had the morning show. This is when the Blue Babble Battalion or BBB, performed and taught us the cheers of the Ateneo.
After that, we had our council tours.
Went to HLI Theatre again, watched the OrSem film made by the Loyola Film Circle.
Then followed by the organizational talks.
After that, we went back to the cov courts and ate lunch.
After lunch, we had some more GDs in the same location, in Faura.
For SOM students like me, we went back to HLI Theatre for our SOM Night.
The SOM night's theme/title is:
Atenista
Big Brother
seaSOM 5
Some alumni went there. The only person I remembered is Karylle. The other two, uhm---I forgot their names but the woman is a model and the man is a musician.
On the third day...
We had another morning show.
Followed by Course and Department Talks, this is when we get to learn more about our course and some alumni of this course told us what they do now.
Then we ate our lunch followed by a campus tour and then the OrSem night!
The best activity so far.
The bands who played:
Dicta License, Kjwan, Hale, Chicosci (this is love :P), and Spongecola.
We also had the OrSem Idol(one for singing and one for dancing) in which you can win an iPod video.
Our host for the OrSem Idol is Nikki Gil.
I love Miggy! I'm near the front stage pa!
Yikee!
Even if siksikan and people were sweating ( of course I couldn't do anything but bear with it), I just enjoyed the night.
I never missed an OrSem activity.
I will definitely join the OrCom next year.
I love the TnTs (this is the kind of TnT that will NOT explode, okay?).
They're crazy, fun and full of energy.

And when they say "MOB!", you better "MOB!!!" or else!!!!
hahahaha.
Funny TnTs but I love them expecially block R3's TnTs, Kuya Lui and Ate Peanuts.
Biased ba?
hahahaha.
Pero really, I love them... no doubt.
They danced on top of the monoblock chairs.
hahaha.
I love the Banana, Chuga, and the sexy Pacific Ring of Fire.
TnT means Talk and Tours, by the way.
Thank you TnTs and Logs, thank you OrCom, thank you upperclassmen, and thank you Ateneo for welcoming us in the university.
I really feel very happy because I am a part of your big family and you made us feel really special because the OrSem's well-prepared.
For our sponsors:
Tradeport.com, Figaro, Lipton, Hangten, P&G, Jollibee, MYX, and a lot more (sorry I forgot)...thank you so much!
I love Ateneo!!
Side note: I love Ateneo daw...pero pag classes na. I hate Ateneo na siguro dahil sa terror profs, harder subjects(aihy sh*t! math!) and a lot of projects.
Dapat talaga hindi ako maevict sa bahay ni kuya (ateneo).
