Talkback: Scavenger Hunt Aguman-style

August 1, 2007 - After being canceled a number of times due to unpredictable weather, MemComm's Scavenger Hunt for Baskal 2007A pushed through! It was quite ironic thought, because classes that day were suspended due to impending wrath of typhoon Egay. But apparently, Egay was nowhere to be seen in the Diliman campus, so mems and apps were finally able to play.

1ST PLACE: BLUE Team - Mems Loree, Kath, Felipe, Denesse and apps Jewel, Minsky, Jann, Jerome
2nd Place: GREEN Team - Mems Jen, Aries, Buduy and apps Don, John, Trish, Jill
3rd Place: PINK Team - Mems Andrew, Thea, Jer and apps Anj, Nic, Mae, Khen

The Scavenger Hunt clues were written and prepared by MemComm members Kevin, Elai, Yek and Marco.

Sobrang enjoy. Our energy was endless that time. We worked so hard as a team, hehe. Go Blue Team! Royal winners.
~Jewel, applicant

Galing da reng clues, the best. Mipaisip ka talaga. Kaya mu sobrang ikli, makabitin. Sana next time halfday! Ehe. Makapayat.
~Aries, Lakatan 2006A

I wish more mems came so that they too can experience the fun and exhaustion we felt last Thursday. Blue team: the best!
~Kath, Bucayo 2005B

Wow, astig ing experience though makapagal mu pin. And the clues were really well thought of, and meging bonding ya rin between the groupmates.
~Jerome, applicant, batch head

Okay naman po yung game. Actually madali lang siya compared daw sa dati sabi nina Ate THea kasi may pattern. Kaso yung ibang clues mejo nakaka-nosebleed lang talaga kasi di familiar. Tapos po yun, masaya naman magtakbo-takbo kahit nakakapagod. And kahit talo kami, the experience was good. It was fun.
~Mae, applicant

Masasabi ko sobrang enjoy, syempre. Buti natuloy siya at last! After many time na nadelay! Haha! Sana maulit pa yun! Next time sana next level na. Mas malayuan at mas mahirap na challenges. Hahaha! Kung pwede outside UP pa, yahahay!
~Minsky, applicant

D'best Scav Hunt! Kahit mesakit ku buong katawan pangabengi. At in fairness kareng apps, magaling and mabilis la! Masaya pupulayi! After masagutan reng nosebleed clues. Go blue!
~Loree, Kadaya 2005A

We should've won! Haha! Bilib ku kareng long cuts nang Ate Jen! Woo!
~Buduy, Lakatan 2006A

So far, eto yun pinaka-enjoy na AguActivity na naattendan ko. Medyo nagiguilty ako nung una kasi feeling ko wala akong mako-contribute sa team so nagdecide na lang ako na maging scout/runner. Hehe! Buti na lang magaling mga teammates ko. Enjoy, as in!
~Jann, Applicant

Sobrang sayang experience noong Scav Hunt. Sayang wala kaming ganun nung apps pa lang kami. We really didn't expect to win. Everyone sa team namin helped kaya din kami nanalo. We were looking after each other din. Todo teamwork talaga. Sana maulit! Haha!
~Denesse, Langgotsi 2006B

It was a total fun experience! ANswers to clues were really difficult to figure out. We wished we had a vehicle to easily segue to the next destination. Albeit it was so tiring, the freshies said that at least they've gone to places they haven't been to. About our team: Jen and Trish got on the brink of an accident: a car nearly hit them. We all did long cuts when we were searching for the final clue in Balay Kalinaw. It was funny though, at first we thought that the 2nd-to-the-last clue was referring to fruit shakes for the previous stated 'smiles of yellow, shades of green;. Even if we are in the 2nd place, the Scav Hunt built teamwork, unity and trust in our team -- hurray Green Team!
~John Carl, applicant

Our team was nagtutulungan to solve nosebleed clues. Maliliksi ang mga apps, kakabilib! Si Kath nga lumipat sa amin kasi feel niya na blue ang winner. Well, it was meant to be! Congrats blue! It was nice playing withh go-na-go teammates. We reached destinations with fun and laughter. Galing natin guys! Congrats din sa ibang teams, pampalubag loob, haha!
~Felipe, Langgotsi 2006B

Me-stuck kami ketang clue papuntang Vinzon's! Masaya yung game kasi nakapagbonding kami with each other.
~Khen, applicant

Parang Amazing Race ang Scav Hunt. Tinakbo namin ang mala-Ikot route ng UP jeep sa UP, hehe! Tapos ibang klase yung mga clues, in fairness kailangan talaga pag-isipan. Napatext pa nga kami para sa 1st clue eh. Haha! Kaya pala ako sa Pink Team dahil sa draw lots na ginawa sa tambayan. At last kami nakaalis kasi last kami dun sa text challenge, hehe! Nakakapagod pero masaya at worth it naman talaga kasi nakausap at nakabonding ko yung mems tulad ni Ate Thea, Kuya Andrew na birthday boy at si Kuya Jer. Tas puro babae kaming coapps, sina Khen, Nic at Mae. Salamat sa isang masayang activity by the MemComm. Pure fun and enjoyment po ang hinandog ninyo.
~Anj, applicant

Oita first time! Kasaya ing Scav Hunt kaya lang nakakapgod! Grabe. Whew! Tricky ang mgaquestions pero syempre magaling kami, haha! Joke! Nagtagal kami dun sa second to the last clue, aha. Naabutan nga namin ang blue teame, may partida lang silang 5 minutes. Bitter? Anyway, win or lose, winners pa rin kami! Why? Because we savored every experience and we finished as a team! Buti na lang at walang nagcollapse sa amin, haha! Next year make sure na mauulit to ne?
~Jen, Lakatan 2006A
