    Cheering with the Blue Babble

    Like every Atenean, I’ve seen them perform at halftime, participate in cheer dance competitions, or hang out at their bench. Donning blue and white uniforms at UAAP games, with enough spirit to liven up the crowd, they roam amongst the Atenean sport fans encouraging them to cheer for one big fight. They are the Blue Babble cheering squad and for one day, I got to train with them.

    Two seems to be a lucky number for Huling Pasada, one of the finalists in this year’s Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival. Touching on the parallels between two completely different realms—the sphere of the writer and that of her characters—the film is a collaborative effort of two Ateneans, Paul Sta. Ana (AB Philo ’99), a former lecturer at the Filipino Department, and Alvin “Vim” Yapan (BS LM ’97), an associate professor at the Filipino Department.

    The second bell starts ringing and the hallways are unusually empty. While students are diligently taking out their pens and notebooks, a thundering of footsteps is heard. As the ringing ends, a group of dormers enters the room and takes their seats.

    In Wanted, James McAvoy (Atonement) plays Wesley Gibson, an apathetic accountant who inherently has the skills to become a top-notch assassin. The film is loosely based on a comic book miniseries by Mark Millar. Director Timur Bekmambetov gives viewers plenty of sharp-shooting, car-twisting, and impossible feats in this action thriller.

    At first glance, the Coconut House along Esteban Abada St., with its display of coconut products, may seem like the usual virgin coconut oil store. Described by owners as a café, ice cream bar, and dry goods store in one, the restaurant will definitely treat diners to a unique experience.

    Although summer has already ended, Ateneo Blue Repertory chooses to mark the start of its 17th season with Summer of ’42, a tale of first love and loss in a time of war.
