I'm here to inform you that I am closing down this blog. The blog's main purpose from the very start was to give a place for people to vent out their frustrations and I think it has served that purpose. It was never meant to demean any one person or organization in particular. (See About Me) The chatroom and flooble chatterbox have been disabled but the posts would remain. Thank you!

Lies, Deceit and Misinformation
"Lies and deceit," cried several hapless Ateneans as they, coming back online after resting from their harrowing-yet-still-incomplete Enlistment, survey the status messages of their fellow seniors.
"I was told na tomorrow pa raw bebegin again yung Enlistment," complained Jessica, a frustrated student. "So after I confirm the only subject I managed to enlist, I log off muna to eat, go wee-wee and make pa-inject my insulin. Biro mo naman, when I get back three hours later, practically everyone's still up and regging!"
Jessica is only one of many students who've been spammed with fictitious messages from the equally fictitious JJ Agtarap, supposed head of the Registrar's office. The students were told that at 5pm, the AISIS (Ateneo Infernal Sakit-sa-kaluluwa Information Systems) would close for 15 hours until 8am the following day for maintenance and repairs. Sadly, these lies were spread by worse-meaning Ateneans in the hopes of freeing up an AISIS slot for themselves.
"Magis my candycoated [censored]," a disgruntled technician said after receiving another call asking about the supposed planned downtime. "All these people want [is] a good schedule for themselves. If they keep that sort of attitude and still want to have a decent online registration, they'd better move to Taft."
The unnamed technician is planning to quit his job for a place in the army. "[This job] is too stressful for me. Give me a bullet to the head any day."

Classroom seat (The Aisisonline review)
These are the times when you hate being an Atenean.
It's unbelievably disheartening that disaster strikes during your last year in college. Thank you for making us your guinea pigs.
It takes 5 ultra-highspeed loading pages before you actually get to enlist in a class. Is the Confirm Enlistment page really necessary? It's insulting. It's like someone asking "Are you sure?" after you've spent hours OC-fying with your class schedules And what is up with the Terms and Conditions page? If you have already agreed to it for the first time do you seriously have any reason to change your mind and disagree with it the suceeding times you log in the site??
But believe it or not, there is a silver lining to it all.
Shared trauma translates to NFFs (new found friends). Plus, it's kinda fun watching people panic. Chill. So you got a crappy schedule with crappy professors. Life doesn't end there. It just gets ruined.
Sure, having terror profs is stressful. But nothing beats the stress of reg.

Going with the development of technlogy, the Ateneo community engaged in online enlisment, the first in Ateneo history. Seniors were subjected to the relatively untested process of enlisting from any internet capable computer. As expected though, disaster struck.
Students were unable to enlist properly, as many were unable to load even the login page of the AISIS system. Some students who were able to enter to the enlisment page, were unfortunately suprised that the page could not load and they were subsequently logged out. Some report that it took them more than 7 hours just to enlist one subject.
When approached for comment, Ateneo AISIS manager Asa Quayo has this to say:
" There was an unexpected failure of the server, as people were connecting to see the schedules for showing of Shrek 3 and Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End. Some people were even connecting to AISIS to reserve seats for Spiderman 3. My God! It's been open for weeks, and now these people are just overloading the server."
A source close to the AISIS System Management and the Enlisment Committee has said that they were very prepared for the enlisment. They just weren't prepared for the failure of enlisment.
Several students have voiced their outcries against the AISIS management and some have reportedly called the offices to give them a piece of their minds, shouting @$%$@^% at the officers!
Students have lined up as early as 6 AM at the RSF Computer Laboratory to get computers for enlisment. When approached, a student said that with the line so long, he thought it was the line to get tickets for the next UAAP Basketball Game between Ateneo and La Salle. "Akala ko pila yun sa UAAP, eh yung iba pinariringgan ko pa nga kasi mga mukhang scalper. Enlistment lang pala."
Other students flocked internet cafes along Katipunan to enlist their classes. Saddened with the slow paced loading pages, many have resorted to play games like DoTA, Counterstrike, O2Jam and the like. Others have vented out their frustrations by going to Tia Maria's, Drew's and MeatShop as early as 10 AM.
Ate Madz, a waitress at Drew's had this to say: "Ngayon lang ako nakaranas ng ganitong karaming estudyanteng gustong maglasing. Di pa kami napuno ng ganito. Akala ko nagbagsakan sa mga subject, yun palang enlistment na yun ang dahilan."
Other students have resolved to dirty tactics just to heighten their chances of enlisting. Rumors spread that the enlisment period has been suspended at about 1 PM and would be back 8 AM the next day. Other people have posted "Enlistment Tips" to speed up the enlistment time like pressing Alt+F4, Clicking the BACK button on the browser multiple times, and clicking the "Sign Out" link.
Many students have also expressed their dissatisfaction through YM status messages like "AISIS-maryosep."
Most students though, have accepted their fate of non-enlistment and abandoned all hope. "Ayoko na, lilipat na lang ako ng La Salle," said Ignatius of Loyola, as he stood up, took his sword, and left.

5 stages
1. Anticipation
2. Distraction
3. Frustration
4. Denial
5. Surrender
Stage 1 is characterized by OC-fying with class schedules and back-up class schedules. At this stage, you are finicky with profs, classrooms and class times.
Stage 2 is when you find yourself staring at the progress bar as though it could make the site load any faster. It is also when you lose your ability to concentrate (in studying for an Ec113 final exam, for example), checking on the perpetually loading page every now and then.
Upon reaching Stage 3, you start cursing Ateneo reg (or Ateneo, in general). You start entertaining the thought of spending an entire semester with either a set of crappy professors or a crappy class schedule - or worse, both. From time to time, you might catch yourself wishing that you were in a different university.
Stage 4: Despite all the rumors about the cancellation of online enlistment, even if all your batchmates have given up, and regardless of whether it's 2AM, you remain hopeful in waiting. This is the part where you convince yourself that it's better to stick it out for an entire day (or longer) than to spend an entire semester in regret.
At the final stage... To hell with it.

Statement from Aisis
Marami na akong pinaasa.
Marami-rami pa ang aking pinapaasa.
Kaya kita pinapaasa kasi alam ko namang hihintayin mo ako.
Tama, diba?
Kahit anong titig mo sa computer monitor, hindi mo ako mamamadali.
Pag sinabihan kang "Ang Aisis mo," alam mo na ang ibig sabihin.
Makupad ka.
At paasa pa.
