i’ve actually grown accustomed to the lasalle stereotype. come to think of it, i actually like how lasalle’s intelligence quotient is undermined. sometimes, i like being stereotyped just to prove people wrong hehe. i’m sutil like that nyar. it’s so much fun to surprise people

when my family and i heard the news about Christian Bautista, we all started singing the national anthem and we couldn’t even finish without pausing to rethink the lyrics. my mother could not get past the first stanza. haha sad.

It’s funny for like two days. It’s really not even as funny as that Michael Fajatin video. Can’t help mentioning it though, particularly when referring to La Salle. You’re right, though, this is going to be difficult for the cheerleaders to live down, especially since it sort of fits the “dumb rich kid” stereotype of DLSU students (unfortunately). Fearless forecast: you’ll never hear the end of it.

Obviously, I’m not very fond of La Salle, but I won’t bash it, hence the ambiguous “I will not name La Salle” stance. But then everybody just sort of knew hehehe.

On Christian Bautista: not much sympathy here. He’s a seasoned performer, I’m sure he’s sang in front of crowds a thousand times before. Not blaming him either; I’m sure there are tons of people who can’t sing half the national anthem (most of them in government).

yeah iv seen that, ping put that photo in his facebook profile hahaha (ping’s atenista for about one year hehe) and i knew you were referring to that
it’s just funny how some people (mostly the fanatic ateneans) really revel at that cheerleading booboo. parang, seryusleh? haha. not really into the UAAP but well, i pity those cheerleaders like how i pity Christian Bautista (who’s from UP) when he made that booboo while singing Lupang Hinirang. performing in public can really rattle you, i hope people could cut those guys some slack.

world peace

Didn’t know you were from La Salle. I didn’t mention the school, pero I guess people infer （maybe because a lot of people really give La Salle flak).

Regarding spelling: I’m referring to what happened during the cheerleading competition. Instead of La Salle, the cheerleaders spelled out AL SALLE. I don’t think they can’t spell in real life. I plead poetic license

No, I don’t. My cousins went there and as far as I know they’re normal. I also have friends who went there and they are far from stereotypical. Minsan lang I come across some people who are really unfortunately living up to the stereotype.

Yun ex-boss ko, from that school din. According to him, it used to be a great school, kaso parang madami syang gripes about the system tsaka yun pagiging “corporate” ng admin. Don’t really know, that’s just my impression.

so they find it like that as well=). how come I’ve never met any of those people(’cept for my HS friends)? I study in that “school-that-must-not-be-named” and a big part of me wished i didn’t. I really want to change that since…damay na ako dyan. The school community sucks up to the “system” and that’s quite the thought they are feeding us. proud na proud pa sila na ganyan.

well.. i just hope you dont think everyone in that “school” fits the stereotype, though im quite sure you’re not likely to meet them.

I’m not naming names nyehehe. Kidding. If you know what school I’m talking about: I have friends and relatives who went there, and well, the verdict is pretty much the same. It’s totally a business, not an academic institution. Plus, some graduates （at least those I’ve come across in this office) fit the stereotype perfectly.

“The School-That-Must-Not-Be-Named (the one whose cheerleaders can’t spell), I dislike, primarily because it’s run more like a corporation rather than an academic institution.”

i know its stupid for me to say it but i can attest to that.

I was thinking of the cheerdancing bit, too. That’s the only rivalry I know about anyway. You’re right. This kind of boorish behavior isn’t limited to one school. Must be human nature
