Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

March 27, 2006 at 2:07 pm (18 years ago)X get a Jesuit for a teacher — (Fr. David. The best.)
mine was fr. dacanay in ateneo law. he made quite an impression on me, to say the least. about two years ago, he officiated the wedding of my friend (his former students). it was great seeing him again
haay, college. (hindi man ako from ateneo, i still agree with you na) tama ka, nakakamiss!
Toni
March 27, 2006 at 2:11 pm (18 years ago)meeya: Iba ang impression ng mga pari, ‘no? I wasn’t able to get into Fr. Dacanay’s class kasi agawan sa slots!!!
jey
March 27, 2006 at 4:05 pm (18 years ago)i’m not an atenean. bu i have been an avid fan of the ateneo blue eagles since the time of danny francisco (1987) when i was still in grade 5.=)
jher
March 27, 2006 at 4:14 pm (18 years ago)Gosh di me maka relate. Taga Maryknoll kasi me (Yay ang luma na ng name! LOL)
Toni
March 27, 2006 at 4:42 pm (18 years ago)jey: I’m sure mas fan ka pa sa akin! I don’t follow the games eh. LOL. Di ako die-hard Blue Eagle.
jher: Neighbors pala tayo!

March 27, 2006 at 7:39 pm (18 years ago)I’m went to UP and not Ateneo, but I was nerdoks, too! I took summer classes during my whole college life! I think my university goal was to graduate on time
Toni
March 28, 2006 at 8:55 am (18 years ago)kala: Hi fellow nerdoks! We had the same goal. I shifted courses so that meant having to catch up with the rest of my new blockmates. Papayag ba akong magpahuli? Hindi! I never had a summer vacation for real during my college years.
jey
March 28, 2006 at 10:18 am (18 years ago)di naman masyado.=) i just watch every single game they have.=)
Toni
March 28, 2006 at 10:21 am (18 years ago)jey: *LMAO* DIE-HARD!!!
jennie
March 28, 2006 at 1:03 pm (18 years ago)aha, rival! :p taga-taft ako eh. heehee! pero can relate ako sa ibang items 😀
Joey
March 29, 2006 at 4:18 pm (18 years ago)hahaha – that took me back.
nandoon pa ba yung graffiti sa 1st floor women’s bathroom sa tapat ng chapel na nakalagay: “don’t sit like a frog, sit like a queen?” at yung sa 2nd floor men’s room naman, “you hold the future in your hands”
jesuits – ferriols, roche, reilly…those jesuits are the best.
uaap games are the best! lalo na pag la salle ang kalaban!
manang’s! nakopo! i still remember when Aling Puring’s restaurant was in Katipunan, called “Eagle’s Corner”…..those were the days.
ASSOC – that started during my time – some of my best friends – Mhel Garrido and Andy Maquiling were members.
this comment dates me, eh?
Paul
March 30, 2006 at 10:32 am (18 years ago)I signed up under Father Dacanay, the first to kick me out of class but gave me a C anyway w/c is good since he’s famous for giving away Ds.
Tambayans would include the bench near the caf, bel field, berchman’s. No caf upstairs yet when you were there? You were spared of the bad food. Hehe. Siomai ang food trip ko and inihaw at Manang’s.
Toni
March 31, 2006 at 8:58 am (18 years ago)jennie: Fight, fight, blue and white? Hehehe. Rivals tayo, pero di ako die-hard Atenean so ok lang yun!
joey: Awww na-senti ka ba? My gaz, di ko na maalala ang mga nakasulat na graffiti. Funny yun mga quotes na yan ah!ASSOC ka pala! So nag-re-rate nga ba talaga kayo ng mga girls na dumadaan? How would you do that? I hated passing through that hallway. And yes, your comments date you but nakakaaliw naman eh!
paul: Paano ka tumambay sa Bel field? E diba ang init doon? Hehehe. And yes, no caf upstairs pa when I studied there. I did get to see it though during my visits to the place. Di ko na naabutan ang SEC at yun bagong business building. Atenista ka pala.
What’s your batch?
eye
April 4, 2006 at 3:33 pm (18 years ago)kumakain din ba kayo sa ken afford dati dun sa katips? 😀

May 4, 2006 at 6:08 pm (18 years ago)Nakikiraan lang po. Tried answering the first 10 or so questions, and I answered yes to only two or three. Kasi naman, di ako Atenista. Hehehe.
