today, during my math 2 class (practical math is the course description) sir nuqui was talking about the upcoming UAAP games (woohoo!! july 10 na!!) and how to compute all the possible results of the basketball competition-- manually.

That wasn’t the funny part. The funny part goes like this.


team wins losses
UP 7 0
UE 6 1
UST 5 2
FEU 4 3
NU 3 4
ADMU 2 5
AdU 1 6
DLSU 0 7

then sir asks us "ok, class, do you see anything wrong with this?"

me: “um… sir… panalo po ang UP… sa lahat ng games po, sir”

sir and the entire class: “HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!”

sir: [still chuckling] “haha.. that’s not the point. it’s not the point of whether UP has won the most games or not… though I think if the UAAP consisted of practical math, then UP would win for sure…”

us: “HAHAHAHAHA!!!!”

tidbits from sir: apparently, 95% of UP students come from bracket 9. and that if we didn’t pay P6000/sem, we should actually be paying P25000/sem. hmm… interesting.

from sir: “if you go to the other schools such as la salle and ateneo, you really notice that the students get what they pay for. here, it may be the case. well, in this classroom, at least. look: nearly all the lights are functioning, there’s aircon, there are 2 blackboards and a white board, the chairs are not falling off…”

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

amazing really, how despite the continued deterioration of our beloved campus, everyone still knows how to have a sense of humor.
