.:La-Di-Dah:.

Okay, so that’s stretching the truth out a bit.  Jowa, my roommate, is THE Jologs Trivia Winner.  Last night for UP Ipil Dorm Week, we (Jowa, Filams, Joanne and I) were the pambato of the East 2 Ladies’ Wing for the Ipilympics Quiz Bee.  There were three levels (Easy, Average, Difficult) and it was a mixture of Serious and Jologs questions. She will probably kill me for writing this, but my dear roommate, look at it this way: you are the epitome of a well-rounded, knowledgeable and smart UP student. hahaha  Who else can answer the following questions and maintain a straight face:

1.      Saang teleserye unang lumabas si Piolo Pascual?

2.      Sino ang gumanap na Madonna sa peliculang, Madonna ang Babaeng Ahas

3.      Ano ang pangalan ng carácter ni Judy Ann Santos sa TV Show na Gimik?

4.      Saang commercial unang  lumabas si Katya Santos? <-- we got this wrong.  Hello??? Care naming kay Katya! The guys got it right of course.

5.      Ano ang pangalan ng grupong pinanggalingan ni Wowie de Guzman? <-- the undergrads protested.  Wala pa daw silang muwang nung sumikat ito…

6.      Ano ang kauna-unahang fantaserye na pinalabas sa Phil. Televisión? <-- One group answered Okay ka Fairy Ko, and it could have been right, but it was a sit-com, not a fantaserye, which means it has to be shown daily.

7.      Sino ang partner ni Claudine Baretto sa telenovelang Sa Dulo ng Walang Hanggan?

    The serious questions were, honestly not so serious.  I’m sure a lot of you can get the answers right without being given choices.  Here are some of them (answers are at the end):

1.      Who said, The end justifies the means? ßHis work was the only one in our SocSci2 class that I really enjoyed.  The rest, (Thomas Hobbes, Marx, et al), bored me to death.

2.      Who wrote the Communist Manifesto?  ßthis was quite tricky, we only wrote one of them, because it’s a well accepted fact that the other one admitted that the work was essentially the former’s.

3.      What is the √-144? ß Thank God for Filams (math prof in UP Iloilo) and Joanne (Engineer from PNOC). 

4.      In Revelations, how many seals have to be opened before Judgment Day? ß it was a guess, but knowing the Bible, it was only 2 numbers to choose from.

5.      Where can you find the oldest university?

6.      Aside from money, what else did the Roman soldiers receive as part of their remuneration?

7.      What is UP’s motto? ßclue: nasa bluebook.:D

 I cannot, for the life of me, remember the others.   But if you can answer the following question, Jologs ka talaga!!!!

8.         Sino ang ka-love team ni Smokey Manoloto sa That’s Entertainment? <-- i remember the girl's name, but I could not remember her last name.  I'm sure i even misspelled her name.

 Here are the Answers:

Jologs Questions (which we all got, thanks to Jowa, except for # 4):

1. Esperanza <-- according to Jowa, he appeared near the end of the serye. I don’t even know who were the stars of this show!
2. Snooky Serna <-- again, answered by Jowa.  Buhay ka na ba nito??? Alam ko lang sya yung nasa Blusang Itim.  Hahaha!!!
3. Dianne <-- sorry, TGIF ang alam ko e.  Jowa got it right.  I didn’t even know that Judy Ann was in this show.
4. Bear Brand Milk. <--I’m sure she was not the one who said, “Is that you Lolo?”
5. Universal Motion Dancers <-- Hahaha!!! Alam naming lahat ito!  That was how pervasive their presence was. 
6. Marina <-- ito ba yung kay Claudine na mala-jezebel?
7. Carlos Agassi <-- Yes, at one point, he had his own show.

Serious Questions:

1. Niccolo Machiavelli
2. Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels
3. 12i
4. 7 (the other number being 40,  but it was too much)
5. Paris.  <-- It was choice among the following cities: London, Berlin, Alcalá de Henares (in the province of Madrid) and Milan.  We got it right, BTW. I knew it wasn't Alcala because Univ de Salamanca is older.
6. Salt.  That’s where the word salary comes from.  
7. Honor Excellence.  

     It was fun, by the end of the night, we were way ahead of the others, we got 120pts, while then next highest was a measly 107.  hahaha ang yabang!  Maybe I should write the next set of jologs questions.  It was mainly from ABSCBN and mostly teleseryes.   If it were me, I’d ask the following questions:

1. Saang pelicula nagka-tambal si Miguel Rodriguez at Sharon Cuneta?
2. Sino ang gumanap na Tita Minerva sa Palibhasa Lalake?
3. Ano ang ibig sabihin ng T.O.D.A.S. na isang gag-show sa Channel 13 noong 70s-early 80’s?
4. Sinong beauty queen/actress ang nagpasikat ng linyang ito, “I can feel it!”
5. Sino ang writer/singer ng closing song ng afternoon soap na Valiente?
6. Sa PBA, sino ang tinatawag na El Presidente?
7. Saang radio station unang narinig ang Love Notes?
   

So easy isn’t it?  Not if you were born after the 1986 EDSA Revolution! Hahaha

Here are the answers, in case you were hiding under a rock (or in denial. Huuuus, kunyari pa! Sinong niloloko mo?:D)

1. To Love Again.
2. Gloria Romero
3. Television's Outrageously Delightful All-Star Show
