DearSpepleand
fellowAteneans,
When Via, our amazing sec-gen(and Best Boss Ever), asked me to be the
EIC for this years SPLAT, I was super
excited and worried at the same time. Id
never been an editorlet alone an editor-in-
chiefbefore, so I was excited to try it out,
but also scared that I wouldnt do SPEED
and the previous SPLAT issues justice. As
the months progressed, however, I calmed
down when I saw how lucky I was to have
such a creative and hardworking group of
editors, writers, and photographers to helpme out. It was great seeing how enthusiastic
everyone was to do their part, give their time
and efforts for SPEED, and come up with
great articles, photos, and layout designs.
Great job, guys!!! I apologize for my all my
bugging and the stream of texts and emails
that I flooded your inboxes with. Thank youfor being so patient and understanding and
ever-generous with your time and ideas! I
couldnt ask for a better SPLAT team.
On behalf of the SPLAT Staff, Idlike to say that I hope what we have put
together here gives you useful informationand tips to help your Ateneo and Speple life
g o s m o o t h e r , s o m e l a u g h s a n d
entertainment to lighten your mood, and,
most importantly, a better picture of what we
do as Speple and perhaps a better idea of
and appreciation for the special people we
all love and wish to help. Enjoy!
Love,
Kristina Tan
The first four months of the school year has
passed and hopefully, we've all met the
special kids and made new speple friends.Moreover, with SPEED's objective this year to
train the members as SPED individuals, I hope
you learned from the training that SPEED and
UPSEC provided, the formation sessions, and
the processing sessions after area visits.In a few days, we'll be on to the much-awaited
semestral break. But before we have our well-deserved vacation, let SPEED help you relive
some of this semester's memorable moments,
update you with what has else been
happening, and amaze you with the wonderful
talents of our very own speple writers. I
present to you, our first SPLAT issue of
2010-2011! :)
Hello Speple!

It was during my freshmen year that SPLATs first issue EVER was
released for everyones enjoyment. With SPEED news coupled with
fun-filled feature articles, it was an idea that came into existence to
further spread SPEEDs advocacy. Three years have passed andSPLAT continues to work for this advocacy. From simple changes of
layout designs to drastic changes such as paper size, SPLAT surely
has evolved to what it has become. Now, on its fourth year, SPLAT
has proven to be a constant innovator. For the first time since its
existence, a new SPLAT image is presented an image that will surely
stay for many years to come.
We are proud to present SPLATs official logo, a logo that embodies
simplicity, cheerfulness, and cuteness. All credits go to the winners of
the logo design contest, May Cruz and Sarah Sarmiento, two amazing
speple, contributing to the advocacy that SPEED hopes to achieve.

The 28TH of August for the year 2010 marked a new
event for Ateneo SPEED. SpFiesta, as it is called,
was not the typical SPEED family day event. The
SpFiesta had a special Filipino twist to it, making itdistinct from the parties for the kids held before.
Kids from the Bridges Foundation and The Childs
World were the stars of this event. To make the
SpFiesta stand out from the previous parties, the
Speple decided to dress up in colorful barot saya,
barongs, and typical Katipunero outfits. Banderitas
surrounded the San Jose Covered Courts to induce afiesta vibe to the place. Games played include
Calamansi relay, sack race and stop dance. A
pageant was also held for those best dressed in their
Filipiana attire. Even the food had a Pinoy feel to it
a sorbetes cart was also accessible to the
participants!
The SPEED dance group SPRiBS held a dance session
with the kids, and a performance by the SPEED singing
group SpCarolers kept the participants entertained.
May Cruz and Nico Garcia hosted SpFiesta, while
Trishia Gerobiese and Steph Co teamed up to head and
make SpFiesta a success.

THE SPEPLE had a tour as the SPEED Formation Session General
Assembly took place last August 16, 2010. The SPEED Formations
team emphasized the core values of SPEED creatively with an
OrSem-inspired theme. In each station the members had to go to,
there was emphasis on one core value, making the entire session
very enjoyable.
Members were made to share their talents, act and sing, do a
tableau, write something about themselves on sheets of paper, and
go through an obstacle course not only to have a good time and
enjoy themselves, but mainly to inculcate the core values of the
organization in them.
This years SPEED Formations Head is Rai Sanchez, who was the
one who spearheaded this event.

RetroSPEED
with aNewYearKicks
Off
Welcome
TO START off the school year with a blast, SPEED
had a new gimmick to make the first meeting of the
members memorable. Groovy and retro are the bestwords to describe it! On July 10, 2010, the SpOfficers
came all clad in hippie attire, and danced to a medley
of songs from the 70s as a warm welcome to the
new and old members.
This event was the first general assembly for the
school year, making it also the first actual meeting of
new and old membersa historic event in its ownway. SpOfficers gave the members an overview of
what Ateneo SPEED is all aboutour goals, the
perks, and what makes SPEED the amazing org and
family it is today. Members were grouped according
to their areas, and ice breakers such as Samson and
Delilah served as a means of making the members
loosen up and interact with each other. The activities
for the entire year were explained creatively by atour of the booths of the different events.
The make-up general assembly for those who missed
the original schedule was held on July 12, 2010.

LAST JULY 17, 2010, SPEED, in cooperation
with UPSEC, held the SPEED Orientation on
Area and Responsibilities, or more commonly
known as SOAR. It is a seminar whereinmembers of the organization are briefed on
the things they need to know when they get
to the area.
Topics that were discussed included the
conditions of the children from the areas,
what to do in certain situations they may
face, and what the members would need tobring or do when they go to the area.
Members were grouped by area during the
situationers not only to familiarize themselves
with their area members, but to also facilitate
better rapport with their area members when
they get to the areas.
A make up session for those who were notable to attend SOAR was held last July 19,
2010, to prepare themselves for area.

Sprummage: A Success!
A WEEK in September was a good one for the
Sprummage team. Sprummage, which is the
SPEED Rummage Sale, was a success. Held last
September 11 to 12 at Corinthian Gardens,
September 16 to 17 at the Kostka Extension, and
September 18 to 19 at Valle Verde 3, the project
was able to raise Php 36,000 from the donations
and another Php 3,000 for the charms that the
children from the different areas made. Items that
were sold during the sale were donations such as
clothing and handmade items by the kids from our
areas.
An inter-area competition was held to encourage
members to donate items for the sale. The winner
of this competition is the Advocacy Squad and CF,
garnering 1283 points. Bridges Foundation followed
with a score of 1103 points, while Servants of
Charity placed 3rd with a score of 1080 points.
Isa Lee and Mark Gaw are the project heads for
Sprummage. Proceeds of the Sprummage will
benefit the special children.

SPROOVE!!by Kristina Tan
The lights dim. The crowd goes quiet. Everyone is waiting in anticipation.
You can almost feel everyone holding their breath. Then the lights come
on and the music starts. The crowd erupts in cheers! SPEED!!!
WOHOOOOOO!! Poised on the stage stood Sproove, SPEEDs RIB
dance troupethe orgs best dancers. The hard work and time they all
put in the past few weeks really shone through, as they all moved
together, synchronized and confident. Their French mime costumes andfacial expressions added to the delight of watching them perform. The
music swelled and got everyone cheering, dancing, and singing along.
Through their moves, music, expression, and style, the group was a
living, breathing, dancing testament to the heart, beauty, happiness, and
unity that is SPEED. This was evident to all present, particularly the
judges, who awarded SPEED with First Runner Up and Best Music
Award, to the thunderous applause of the entire Henry Lee Irwin Theater.Winning the awards was just an added bonus, however, to the pride of
every SPEED member and the enjoyment the crowd got out of watching
the performance. It was, without a doubt, the highlight of the night
particularly for all SPEED members performing and watching.
Congratulations, SPROOVE!! Were all so proud of you!!!

Area visits are always peaches andcream to a week. It comes with a mix of
relaxation away from the schoolwork and the
excitement of seeing and playing with our
special kids again. But what happens when little
cute Charlie spills bright red paint all over your
favorite yellow Speed shirt? *gasp*
Im not saying dont wear anything you are not prepared to lose, but if you must, you
might as well. Activities we do in our respective
areas are 100% fun but are also that much
unpredictableyou never know what sorts of
surprises await you! So this section presents to
you some points to remember when dressing up
for an area visit.
As always, seek comfort in your
clothes. Select attires that will let you
dance, run, and jump, roll over, and
have fun at the same time. Some
special kids like to play taga lot.Other kids just like to run around so
lets make sure that we can keep up
with their good time.
one:
Keep it simple. A neat shirt, jeans
and your good ole sneakers will do.
No need for flashy signatures; Zara or
Topshop cocktails are way too snazzy
for a day of play and fun. You wanna
lose the heels as well, maam. Its hard
to keep up with all the fun in those
shoes. Youre cool Levis jeans aintgonna be so cool anymore with paint
on them either, pal. So lets look out
for those surprises as well.
two:
Hold the bling-bling. You want to take off
all your colorful and shiny earrings, fancynecklaces and classy charm bracelets
before you go for a visit. Some kids get
distracted with jiggling, chiming and
dangling things and they dont focus on the
task at hand anymore.
four:
Dont show skin. Sorry, ladies! Short shorts
and tube tops in this warm weather arent
exactly as convenient to wear in area visits
as we would think. Sometimes, kids like tofeel things and we cant avoid occasional
touching because to them, that is amusing.
three:
Bring extra clothes. This may especially
come in handy for those who have class right
after the area visit. If in case you enjoyed
rolling on the floor or squatting or doing art
work too much that day, a quick outfit change
would be good before you go back to class.
five:
For more tips, just ask your friendly area heads!!
Theyd be more than happy to help! For now, lets
all just keep in mind these pointers. Have fun!

by Anna Gabriel
! Laughter fills the org room until the first bell rings. You know this is the signal for youto stand up but it seems as if youre stuck to where youre sitting. If you leave, youre going to
miss out on the rest of the fun! But youre in school and you know you are here to study.
Besides, you really arent sure if youve overcut already. This cut may be the one that will put
the big bad W on your record. You stand up and x your laughing friends behind. And themoment you get to class, you immediately wish it was over so you could get back to having fun
with your org mates.
! But unfortunately, theyre not called EXTRA-curricular activities for nothing. Theyremeant to stay outside of our regular academic curriculum but nevertheless supposed to
enhance our student life. So here are some tips on achieving the golden mean between
academics and student organizations:
Once the work starts piling up, it gets very hard to decide which to put first.
You can get easily distracted as newer activities come up and forget about
the old ones youve already started. If you assign levels of importance to
each type of work, or even as specific as each task, it will be easier to decide
which to finish first and time wouldnt be wasted on deciding or switching
from one task to another.Though it seems as if nothings due anytime soon,
theres bound to be work that needs to beaccomplished in the long run. If times wasted on
nothing now, then time for something important
has been robbed for later. Imagine that you have
two papers, one quiz, and an org meeting due a
day from now. If you do nothing on your 4-hour
break today, then tomorrow, youll be left
cramming for all the work that still needs to be
done. When its 2 in the morning and your bed isbecoming more attractive than it usually looks,
you cant wish to have back the 4 hours that were
wasted yesterday.
If you feel overworked and off-balance, and are no longer
enjoying what youre doing, then youre totally missing
the point of joining organizations! Like mentioned earlier,
theyre there to make your student life more enjoyable!
Consider org work as your break from academics. Aside
from being productive, resume-filling work, they comewith the bonus of being fun as well.

Stress; De-stress By this point of the school year, I am positive thatevery student knows what it means to be stressed. We all
know what gives us stress: those infamous Hell Weeks,
heavy workload, Malabong Usapan relationships, tough
profs, cramming, and the list goes on. Of course, it isnt
enough that we feel stressed; our bodies have to show the
effects of stress in some way. Stress can cause headaches,
sweating, constipation, and body pains to name a few.Aside from this, stress can affect us emotionally; possibly
making us more irritable, depressed or aggressive.
Given all this, it really is important to know how tode-stress. Its easy to say prevention is better than the cure,
but most stressful things cannot be avoided. Attempting to
avoid stressful things could, in itself, be a cause of stress.
So here are a few tips on de-stressing. Its all aboutfocusing on YOU.
by JB Gamboa
First of all, take some
time to do what you
love. Something that
isnt stressful. It could
be reading a book, orsomething else. I have a
friend who recently told
me that she watches
Gossip Girl to de-stress.
Another way to de-stress
is laugh. Do something
that gets you in a better
mood, something that
gets you laughing for a
few minutes. After that,
you will feel better and
more ready to go back to
whatever stresses you
out.
Engage in physical
activity to release your
stress. This could range
from simple stretching to
hitting your pillow to
taking a jog. Think of it
this way: if youre
stressed and youre
jogging, the stress youfeel leaves with every
step you take away from
your stress.
This could be
overlapping with thefirst tip, but find some
time to sleep. Im sure
youve heard of those
Power Naps. Sleep clears
your mind and rests
your body, thus making
it easier to focus when
youre handling the task
again.
These techniques haveproven useful and effective duringstressful periods in my life. However,
different sources of stress need
different methods to combat them.
Furthermore, some techniques that
are effective for one person may not
be effective, or worse, could cause
even more stress to others. As such,
these are just suggestions that workfor me personally. Finding different
ways to de-stress is a journey of
discovery that one must make on his
own.

Umbrella. ID. Tumbler
These are the things an Atenean
MUST have in his bag. Whether
be it during rainy days, at times
when you need to go to the lib,
or when youre thirsty, these
things are necessary to survive
in Ateneo.
Sign up for an org.
With 40+ orgs in the school, its impossiblenot to find one which doesnt suit your
needs and talents. *winkSPEEDwink* Not
only do you get to have a life other than your
academics but also orgs can be a way for
you to actually apply all the things you
learned. Plus, its a great way of meeting
new people with the same interests!
Hang out with your blockmates
No man is an island, right? Navigating through this
first year would be even better when you have it
with your blockmates, who are as worried and as
excited as you. From solving that Math problem to
complaining about Mr. ___, your blockmates will
surely be there for you.
Spend your breaks wisely.
Unlike high school where you have
straight classes, your schedules will
usually have longish breaks in
between so its important to know
how you should spend it. You can
use it to study for tests, finish yourhomework, or take a nap. Familiarize yourself with the school.
Its important to know the go-to places in school.
Need food? Gonzaga Caf, JSEC, and Manangs
offer a wide variety of sumptuous food thatll surely
fill up your stomach without emptying your
pockets. Looking for a photocopy place? Kostka
Extension and Sec B ground floor (where you canalso find the lovable Ate Alma) are the popular
ones. These and a lot more are just some of the
great facilities our school has to offer.

Whats in Your Bag? by Cara HenaresThe Bag Raiders Project has been a very notable undertaking
circulating around the Ateneo campus. There has been talk of it everywhere. People just cannot wait to see what kinds of bags their peers bring around and what lurks
inside the private spaces people use to guard, carry and protect their belongings.
! Equally important, as SPEED members, arent we also curious and dont wewant to know more about what kind of looks our officers sport? What do you think do
they carry around in their bag?!! Well, worry no more because weve also selected four random SPEED officersand asked them to describe their typical look and asked them what they carry aroundin THEIR BAGS! Think of it as raidingSPEED style.
Homie Beltran describes his typical look as
something that is simple and basic. He usually wears
maong and couples the bottom with a plain white shirt.
If he runs out of white shirts, he opts for a black one.
When asked why he prefers this get-up, he answers,
Para wala nang terno. Indeed, it is a simple look butnevertheless, a classic something one will never
grow tired of.
Dictating the essentials of his bag, he says his most
important possession is his i-pod which has to be with
him all the time. Along with this, you can find his
readings and a filler notebook. The most absurd thing
he carries with him is Colgate Plax mouthwash. Healso mentions that he prefers a backpack but since its
been hot, he has been using a laptop bag and makes
everything fit in there.
Joaqui Manahan describes himself as the
shorts, t-shirt and shoes kind of guy. He admits to
wearing pants only when required to do so. Two of his
wardrobe staples would be a SPEED baller fromUPSEC (the UP counterpart) with the words Its the
ability, not the disability inscribed and a necklace his
sister gave him. Thinking there was a deeper and
greater value to it, I was asked about it. To my
surprise and amusement, he said, I cant take it off.
Its stuck.
Being a BS Psychology major, he always carries with
him his scientific calculator. Aside from this, you canalso find his notebook. Naglilipat kasi ako ng notes
from the book to my notebook. Because of this fact,
his notes are one of his most prized possessions. Also
found in his bag are his reading glasses and a folder
used to organize his papers.
May Cruz says her style is laid back. She admits
shes not one of those fashionistas or stylish girls. She
usually just wears a t-shirt paired with jeans. She
carries with her a backpack because its easier to
bring around and more things fit in it. Inside, you can
find her handkerchief if she has a cold and her books
and perfume. When its time for area, she normally
does not bring a bag with her because she feels it
may restrict her. But shes always ready with her
attendance sheet and name tags.
Pao Asuncion believes that in choosing an outfit
for area, the important thing is that youre comfortablewith what youre wearing and it is something youre
okay with getting dirty in. Worrying about your clothes
will only distract you and will make you less immerse in
what youre doing.
In his bag, you will always find an extra shirt. Also
found are additional arts and crafts materials like
scissors, paper and coloring pens. One thing he can
never leave without is his planner. I need to have aplanner with me always so that I can keep track of
attendance and division of members per class. He
also brings with him an umbrella, in case it rains, and a
pack of tissue. Knowing this, Im sure we can all agree
that Pao is that perfect Boy Scoutalways prepared
for any situation that may come his way and always
thinking of others!

When we watch movies, sometimes weremember certain lines or even dialogues
because of how they were delivered by the
actors. Gollum rose to fame when he whispered,
My precious... (LOTR: The Twin Towers). Joker
once more proved his delight in others suffering
by sarcastically asking the man whom he was
about to torture, Why so serious? (The Dark
Knight). On a lighter note, Agnes became the
viewers favorite when she shouted, Its so fluffy!
Im gonna die! (Despicable Me). Usually, we
mimic these lines because they are said in a way
that one cant resist saying them too.
There are also those lines which thecharacters keep saying throughout the movie
and, hence, they become embedded in our
memory. The classic May the Force be with you
by Obi-Wan Kenobe (Star Wars III) has turned
into an everyday line which people sometimes
use instead of Good luck. And, of course, who
doesnt adore Buzz Lightyears tone whenever he
says, To infinity and beyond!? (Toy Story)
We also remember movie lines because of the
circumstances in which they were said. Some
are way too funny like when Jerry shouted
Show me the moneeeeeeyyy! (Jerry Maguire)
inside his office without realizing that everyone
outside was already wondering whats wrongwith him. Others are so sad they could make youshed buckets of tears. I remember crying for
Basha when Popoy told her why he chose his
current girlfriend instead of her:She loved me at
my worst, you had me at my best...and you
chose to break my heart." (One More Chance) I also felt Landons longing for Jamiewhen she was already gone. He said, Our love
is like the wind--I can't see it, but I can feel it." (A
Walk to Remember)
For girls, there are those sweet lineswhich we often wish to hear from our guy. Anygirls heart will surely melt when someone tells
her, You complete me, and means it as
sincerely as Jerry Maguire did. And, no wonder,
Edward won Bellas heart when he told her,
You're like my own pe rsonal bra nd of
heroine. (Twilight)
Individual lines, taken together, create a largerstory, the movie. But each line is also a movie on
its own. And the reason why we remember some
lines better than others is because some lines are
better movies to watch.

area. It would be best if you take one
picture per area visit. Don't forget to put
captions! This is what will truly define
your area memories. Write what madethat area visit unforgettable. For
