Finals - The Ateneo Way

- Where reporters will be grilled
This is not about the UAAP Men’s Basketball Finals where Chris Tiu and the Blue Eagles finished Season 71 with the championship in Game 2. I have so many things to write about this season, like lining up for 2 hours in Adidas Trinoma on my birthday to get my cap signed, hanging on to dear life for game tickets both in Ultra and Araneta, shelling out a considerable amount of money for the overpriced tickets, and oh yes… participating and winning in the Hanford promo where I got a very plain “We Got Tiu” shirt in which I poured all my creativity to have the “Tiu” and the “17″ beaded by hand and in hot pink on blue at that! However, I’ll reserve them for another entry.
I was so surprised to know that our Human Resources Management class finals will be held at a notorious motel in Pasig. It turned out that we have classmates who are connected to the management of the motel and they are all taking up Regis MBA at the Ateneo. In one of the discussions, our professor revealed the motel’s failed venture - to be known as a family oriented place. When it did not click, it repackaged itself as the premiere motel in the country, with ISO certifications to boot.
It felt so ironic, when on one hand we’re proclaiming “ad majorem dei gloriam” and on the other - we’re on the Austin Powers room of a motel for our HUMRES finals. Oh well… I’d admit we had fun - clean, wholesome fun. The room is really for shower and stag parties, with a cage as the center of attraction. Prof was tauting the reporters to get inside the cage and have the report delivered there! Haha! But then, all we did was eat, report/listen and eat some more. The food was generally good.
Food!
What amazed me were the designs of the different rooms. My classmate told me that they employ “imagineers” who visualize the concepts and turn them to reality down to the smallest pieces. It cannot be denied, though, that the rooms have sexual themes. One of them is named the “Oval Office” of the Monica Lewinsky - Bill Clinton scandal.
The Oval Office
Other rooms were named “Moulin Rouge,” “X-men,” “Niagara Falls,” “The Matrix.” Now, that’s a very big giveaway on what the name of the place really is. It was hinted to us that there are 2 of everything so that groups can have simultaneous parties of the same themes.
Going back to the Austin Powers room, there are other interesting features. Just before the comfort room door, there was a small nook with no light and was covered with heavy curtains. My Indonesian classmate was so clueless, she asked our prof what it was for. Again, my prof explained that “it’s a place where 2 people who want to be close to each other go to.” It’s obviously a place for making out. Other questions she asked were “Why is there a 3-hour stay?” and “Are they sure 3 hours is enough for them to enjoy the room?” to which our male classmates exclaimed, “We’re sure 3 hours is enough!”
