  ....unforgettable experience (continued)
    Sleepovers after a dance or soiree when falling asleep meant waking up with graffiti all over your face.
       
    Our fake fraternity: Alpha Kappal Muks. "Oy! Colorum!"
       
    The Don Bosco vs Aquinas Basketball Brawl at Ateneo. I almost pissed in my pants. "Aquinas Bulok!" Haha!
       
    Shop class! Man, I miss making wooden toys with a worn out copping saw plus inhaling toxic fumes, totally ignoring safety procedures while using the drill press!
       
    The time when not a single one of our classmates made the conduct awardee list. Now THAT is an achievement that is one for the history books!
       
 

DB92 Moderator: Funniest moment sa Classroom?
Audie R.  Funniest Moments....
 

    When we ended a prayer with "Dominic Savio, Pray for us. Ultimate Warrior, Pray for us!"
       
    When one of our classmates got caught twirling a book during class and he ended up twirling a huge cardboard box in the corner until class ended.
       
    The name calling! We had every character from Papa Smurf to Bonjing! "Kahit saan, kahit sino, Asar-talo!" 

 

DB92 Moderator: Ihat ‘Ultimate Warrior’ thing really drives me insane. Now let’s have a name game. I’ll give you a name of a high school teacher, and all you have to do is describe them in three words, that would come first into your mind.

DB92 Moderator: Ms. Doblas:
Audie R.: Like a Mother!

DB92 Moderator: Ms. Salamilao?
Audie R.: Nice 'N Classy

DB92 Moderator. Mr. Malasa?
Audie R.: Easy Isnt It?

DB92 Moderator: Mr. Macaraig?
Audie R.: One of (the) Boys!

DB92 Moderator: Mr. Miranda?
Audie R.: One Cool Mentor.

 
DB92 Moderator: It could be a ghost story, or a Life-threatening situations. Tell us your Scariest / Most Suspense Moment in HS.
Audie R.:  First, the time when we almost got beat up by "addicts" outside of DB (Takaw bog-bog talaga!) Then, there's one time asking a girl out on a date. What can I say, it's not easy. Nothing could be more suspense than waiting for the NCEE test results.
 
DB92 Moderator: If given a chance to turn back time, what do you want to redo or undo in HS.
Audie R.:  I can honestly say, NONE AT ALL! Every experience I have, every single decision I made, and every friends I’ve made along the way have made me who I am now. Good or bad, it was all part of my learning experience. I cherish every moment of it and will never trade it for anything! The journey was well worth it.
 
DB92 Moderator: Most of us knows the excellency you've possessed in the field of IT.  What do you think is the biggest contribution you have made so far here in the Silicon Valley?
Audie R.:  Funny! I really don't consider myself as someone who excelled in IT. I just do the best I can in any situation and fortunately, having a job that I love helps a lot. That's a hard question to answer as I really don't think about the impact I’ve made in the Valley as a whole. I’ve been part of several tech industry and projects in the Valley throughout the years from Dot Coms & Software companies, to VoIP and ATM/Kiosk firms. I was fortunate enough to be involved with various aspects of the game from QA, Marketing, Sales, Management, and Development so I was able to combine my love of art and people with my thirst for technical knowledge. I guess you could say I made a couple impressions here and there.
 

 
DB92 Moderator: Can you list technological advancements you’d like to see in Don Bosco, in a span of five years?
Audie R.:  Yes! Live Satellite Feeds and Virtual Classrooms so we alumnus can keep in touch and perhaps share our knowledge with the next generation of Bosconians regardless of where we're at in the world.  That, plus an internet-ready and fully-networked confessional boxes with wi-fi access.  Imagine, mobile confessions on the go! Just kidding.
 
" ...Live Satellite Feeds and Virtual Classrooms, so we Alumnus can keep in touch and perhaps share our knowledge with the next generation of Bosconians regardless of where we're at in the world..."
 
DB92 Moderator: Hahaha….log-on muna bago confession, okey yun.  Few of us know your other artistic side, if you type Marisma at Yahoo Search Engine, we will find your Rock Band.  Rock Star Status na ba?  Tell us about your band.....
Audie R.:  Haha! I wish. Actually, more like "bandS". They are somewhat my hobby. My first band, Curvature, was an instrumental ambient rock project that was short-lived but gained a bit of recognition. We've had the chance to be featured in a couple local radio stations here in California and one of our singles even became GarageBand.com's top 5 Alternative songs of all time.

My other band, Marisma, is so far the most successful and is one of the most acclaimed local indie/emo rock band here in the San Francisco area. We have one album so far (and currently in the process of recording our 2nd), play several shows regularly along with a lot of other awesome bands in the area, and have been featured on a couple articles. I wouldn't say we're as big as the ones you constantly hear on the radio-quite the contrary-- but we do have a bit of a following. We've gotten a bit of recognition here and abroad and occasionally, some people ask for our autographs. It feels good knowing you've made an impact on someone you don't even know through your music.
