I Thought You Were A Dream Theater Snob!
That was what an orgmate told me after she read my ultra-challenging pop culture (read: jologs) exam for the applicants of the UP Manila Debate Circle. Despite my penchant for listening to progressive rock, European power metal and other genres that could be considered left of center types music, I’m very much familiar with other music. I may not listen to them as much, but one listen will be enough to make an impression. The same goes for obscure TV shows and sappy movies.
The second Deliberation Day (my org’s fancy term for FINALS) will be tomorrow so I’m technically leaking my part of the exam. So if you’re an applicant, congratulations! You have been rewarded for visiting my blog!
Our applicants were born from 1989-1991, so most questions are based on shows, music and movies that were around in the 90s. Go ahead, prove to me that you’re just a big a JOLOG as I am.
