Many who have tried, few were choose, only some survived and no one
cares. As the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology batch '05
took the Institute of Computing and the university by storm for setting
a record in most number of students marked with an incomplete grade and
still feels nothing. The only group who didn't care at all for all
the hassle and bushel that went through their way because they do
believe that "What can be done now can be done tomorrow even if
tomorrow is the deadline". Meet the ultimate Kalabsa class of 2005.
Fact: Kalabasa is also known as squash, a fruit that is rich in vitamin
A. But in the local scene it is coined with an attitude of taking life
as easy as they could and failing at the end of the day without any
manifestation of worrying.
RAYMUND 'BON - BON' BANAAG
The Hassle Techi
He is the only Icean that posses the latest gadgets in the metro, from
mp3 players, songs, Internet Connections, name it he has it. But among
all this innovations he remained humble. He is willing to render his
help to any of his group mates without any complain. But anyone has
it's own "Kalabasa" moments, he is the best planner when it comes
to outdoor and indoor functions but he is the first person that will
mangle the plan by simply saying, "hassle man kau oi!" and he means
it. But he is the ultimate health buff because he needs to be fit. So
goodbye lechon, rice, and fats.
JULIUS 'PRINCE OF MAKI-MAKI' MANLIGUEZ
Prince of Makilala
The history of "Kulot" began when a group of adventurous IT
students who when to a beautiful Island of Samal. Upon enjoying the
cool breeze of the water a challenge was announced to have a floating
exhibition and then he joined. With all the girls staring on his
moment, one shocking object marked on his wet jersey and Julius was
tagged as the gifted one. This guy never quits any discussion, he is so
"kulit" which he keeps on denying over and over but he's on
fellow that could save your hungry stomach. Julius wants to become a
call center agent, DJ, English teacher so beware of his existence.
MARCO TITO LAMBO
The Next Big Thing
Simple yet unstoppable, thus are just two of the words that could
describe Lambo. He is so effortless is expressing himself by not
bragging on the looks that he wanted to show to the public. If he feels
not to groom, he simply come to school as is. But no ICean can do even
what he can offer in terms of programming, because he is simply "The
Man". It is so evident with the way he logically configure every
projects and programming competition. He is the only person that
carries the royalty in programming. Because of all the pressure that he
dwells with, he tend to not speak that much. Lambo usually listens
rather than story tells when he is not influenced with alcohol which he
considers his best hang out. So watch your back Bill Gates because
Marcosoft is soon to dominate the IT seen.
LAREJUN 'MR. IC' PINEDA
The Late Mr. IC
This guy became a big revelation when he bagged the title of Mr. IC
2005. From being a normal student that just went to school and hang out
with friends, now he does have a collection of admirers. But this
person did not take advantage of the situation and still works as hat
he used to do. Jan-jan was once tagged as "all lies less truth"
person because he usually performs prank jokes by telling a lie
seriously and convincing the person about it and it turned out as a
joke. But he already changed his attitude by imposing the American Time
to Larejun's Time. The concept is so simple, if you want to have an
appointment with him just set the assembly time 6 hours before the
exact period because he will surely show up.
PATRICK 'WANG - WANG' CEREÑO
The Human Pin Cushion
One of founders of the world renowned group which the "Kalabasa
Group of Companies", Kalabasa in English is called Squash which in
colloquial term means misadventures. Come on, he lost his scholarship
once, having troubles with his position as a student leader, etc. and
he still managed to stand up and pursue to his path and that is the
essence of a KGC member. He one brave person because he survived the
training of a fraternity and pierce needles on some crucial parts of
his body by himself and now a tattoo on his arm. But this man is so
generous not only with his knowledge but especially when his allowance
knocks on his pocket. Anyways Wang2 has a hidden talent in singing that
need to be hidden for centuries because simply overtake Edwin Mcain and
Janno Gibbs.
SERVILLANO 'CLAWS' FIEL IV
The Seductive Beach Bomb
The best person in setting up for an unplanned beach party because he
has the ability to maneuver the inconsistency of the gang. On the event
itself two things are always present on his luggage, his famous black
trunks and plastic white slippers (What an outfit!). Fiel also
possesses an extraordinary ability of having sharp finger nails and
strong hands which is so essential when it comes to his favorite sport
which is the volleyball. He can also be a qualified sport personality
because he can mange to join almost all sporting events during the
ICean Festival even if he was once strucked ith a baseball on his
forehead. This guy shows no pressure on times of deadlines and other
crucial moments on school projects or organizational matters because he
can't be seen elsewhere except to his sanctuary, his boarding house.
Fiel is such a cool student and a friend.
HERBERT 'PADZ' PADRIQUE
The Hunk with No Address
Some people were born to be a jetsetter, adventurer or simply just a
tourist but others love to hang out on different places and Padz is the
perfect boy for it. He seldom stays on there house due to academic
reasons and leisure grounds. He sometimes called his home as a walk-in
closet or boarding house because there was a time that for a week he
just changed clothes and took a bath on their house. But even the poor
attendance on his real home he never fails to be absent on overnight
project development because of his kind heart in helping the classmates
especially on programming matters. But beware to those houses that he
visited because he will leave a memorabilia through reformatting for
commemorative purposes. He was once predicted to be the next MR. IC but
he concentrated on other things.
RHODA 'BOMBSHELL' MANIQUEZ
The Demure Bombshell
From nobody to somebody, once a swan and now a princess and use to be
a caterpillar and then became a butterfly. These are the exact terms
that could describe the baby talking Jennifer Lopez butt alike Rhoda.
She shows a very positive transition from being aloof to being
sociable. This girl can perform as a one woman band because of her
skill in playing the drums, bass guitar, the lead guitar, keyboard and
the vocals. Aside from musical expertise she also and expressive lady
through its emotions or with its clothes, she engage in more feisty
colors and designs which helps out in boosting his image. No other girl
in the campus compares to the arrive of the amazing Bombshells which
she was one of the Bomb.
MARICRIS
The Original She Bangs
Move over Claudine Barretto coz the primera hair fashionista is in
USEP is in IC where having bangs is not just a fad but a lifetime
hairstyle. When the craze about bangs boomed with the influence of the
movie Milan, she did not only tried it but flaunted it. Eventhough Cris
is so adventoruos when it comes to his hair; she is a soft speaking
girl that's been a Regine Velasquez fanatic since birth. She does
collect records, lyrics, posters and even magazine that's covered by
the songbird. But unlike the bird that posses the attitude of being
courageous and ahead of everything, she simply took her time that much.
Nevertheless, Maricris shows compassion on everything she has
especially her friends because she not only cares for them but also
shares significant moments of her life most immortally about love life.
Long live kanegosyo.
MARY JEAN 'MJAY' VALLEJOS
Maldita el Elegante
For those people who think that showing the true feelings in front of
everyone is a shameful act and can loose ganda points. Well think again
because the only girl in IC who speaks and confronts anyone that she
thinks violated her principles is name Mary Jean. This girl should be
the ambassadress of the feminine society due to his courage and being
straightforward in telling the truth. She may never be seen ending a
fight to physical matters due to her absence of Cherifer but a mouthful
of defense and logical attack sure sets a white flag form the opponent.
But having this attitude doesn't mean that she hates being sweet.
Halleur! "Kilig kaya sya sa boys noh". Guys should find a partner
like Mjay that speaks her mind and fights for the truth.
MELISSA 'Mhuy - mhuy' DALMACIO
The Bull's-eye Chick
Give way to the most athletic, the number one Smallville fan, the Lana
Lang wannabe and the queen of cd writing, who else can't recognize
Lisa. This lady never had been behind of all the technological
advancement and the mp3 collection (Thanks to Ate). She is also a
follower of Nicole Kidman that even the lousiest film of the actress
was treated as a box office flick. Aside from a fan she is also a
caring and loving person not only to his friends but to his nephew. By
the way if you want to have fun in a videoke, just bring this girl coz
she knows all the artist and the title of the songs you want. How did
she do it? So simple, just say the artist or the song title that you
keep on struggling about and presto Lisa can give you the answer with
matching the dialog, "Naa ko'y mp3 ana, pa burn ka?".
ALEXANDRA 'CD WRITER' OBEDIENCIA
Kikay Freak
"Nangabang ko?" "Ok lang akong nawong" "Unsa diay?",
that's Alex the boy magnet in IC. She displays an epitome of a
teenybopper and with a stomach of a construction worker. Even though
she has a sophisticated face but she never controls her obsession with
extra rice. Because of this trait she became the source of envy by most
ladies because she maintains a slim figure (What a gene!). There a lot
misconception about this girl and one of them is that she never
contributed to each group that she belongs with, but hey! did you ask
her to help? ...
