Ateneo (ADMU) now Outranks UP in the World's Best Universities Ranking. De La Salle University (DLSU) Nowhere to be found in the top 400 overall

Here's the comment which was posted on Mama Noemi's Blog:

Times Higher Education World Universities Ranking 2008 is out!

Ateneo now outranks UP, though both schools made huge improvements from last year’s result.

2007 2008
UP 398th Ateneo 254th
Ateneo 451st UP 276th

Ateneo and UP also made it to the top 100 in two categories:

Academic Review (Arts & Humanites)

Ateneo 79th
UP 82nd

Employers Review (Graduates Employability)

Ateneo 76th
UP 82nd
La Salle 92nd

La Salle and UST didn’t make it to the over-all top 400.

Congratulations!
( and hopefully, more Philippines schools will be recognized next year.)


Which is why I was saying... the greenies should focus on more important matters, and not such trivial things like 'a little bonfire'.

And I'm gloating. Gloat. Gloat. Gloat. Kick 'em when they're down I say.



Lol just kidding. Upakan ako ng mga barkada kong Green-blooded.

But I'll still gloat. (insert Plurk banana dance here)

"THE" Ateneans - Repost and Commentary by... Someone else

And obviously a bit irked at the blue-blooded folk. But shouldn't it read: The "Ateneans" (since, intonation-wise, the sarcastic-emphasis should fall on the pronoun and not on the 'the')? O_o

Na-gets nyo ba? It took me a long while to formulate that sentence...


Anyway, here's an excerpt from his rant:
Wala itong kinalaman sa UAAP na kung saan "TIU"mamba ang Ateneo sa pagkapanalo sa Season 71 UAAP. Hindi sya tsamba. "THE" Ateneo is the better team this year. Wala din itong kinalaman sa UAAP Cheering competition na kung saan naglitawan ang mga ABS ng Ateneo Blue Babble Batallion na talaga nga namang nakakahumaling at nakakatuksong tignan. I was there kaya alam ko. And believe me, nakanganga ako habang pinapanod ko sila.

This is about "THE" Ateneans. Base from my experience.. "THE" Ateneans are snob. Parang parang, pag hindi ka Atenista, FUCK OFF. Parang ganon lang. Sa totoo lang, ang mga Atenista parang ang hirap nilang i-approach. Feeling ko lang to ha, tipong nag excuse ka lang titignan ka from head to foot. OI. feeling ko lang to ha. HAHA. :) Tipong magkwekwento ka kunwari sharing and shits lang.. sasagutin ka nga.. pero ang dating nung sagot ganito. "OK. SO?" or "OK. SO WHAT's THE POINT?" Owned ka dba? Barado to the NTH Level. Kaya minsan nakakatakot makipagusap sa mga "THE" Ateneans eh. Mababara ka lang.

FOR ME, Atenistas have their own little world na kung saan Sila sila lang ang nageenjoy and stuffs. Para silang mga tao yung sa movie na "The Village," na kung saan may sarili silang mundo. Lasallites, Upinians, Thomasians and other schools are the "ONES WE DO NOT SPEAK OF" hahahahahaha! :)

Siguro, ang pagiging malayo sa Outside world ng School ng Ateneo ay nakakadagdag sa pagiging "snobbish" attitude nila. Paglabas mo ba naman ng Ateneo, ano bang makikita mo? Wala. Kalye na punong puno ng kotseng nagdadaan. Parang dun lang talaga yung entertainment nila. Sa loob. Buti pa kami, sanay na sanay sa usok ng mga Jeepney. sa ingay ng mga pedicab boys. sa mga magnanakaw. I THINK, only "THE" Ateneo is not prone to holdap, rape, and other crimes. (sana tama yung sentence ko) Except na lang kung wala ka sa ADMU vicinity ha. Pero doon sa school nila, secured ka talaga. FEELING ko lang ha. FEELING.

Oh well. iba talaga pag "THE" Atenean ka. Sila ang "Cream of the Crop,""The Untouchables," and so on. Wala ata akong kaibigan or schoolmate or classmate na nakapasa sa Ateneo. Kayo? Meron ba kayo? nagbago ba ang pakikipagsocialize nila sa inyo? Or ganon pa din? If hindi nagbago, Well Lucky you. Hindi pa sila nabrebrainwash sa sistema ng isang Atenista. LOL Just kidding. haha. Pero wala pa akong kaibigan talaga o schoolmate o kung ano man na nag aral sa Ateneo.
Now don't get me wrong. Some Ateneans may even actually agree with him... but to generalize is the same as jumping to a conclusion and the same as putting your foot in your mouth. Not all persons of a certain educational and socio-economic class are elitist, and not all elitists come from the same school. In fact, it has always been a common misconception that it's all heavenly shores inside the Loyola campus--you can be as easily discriminated inside the same school as you can be once outside it.

Besides... I make tusok-tusok da pishballs too you know. Hehehe.
