Date a Pisay Girl
Date a Pisay girl. Date the awkward girl who’s more concerned about her next lesson than what to wear to the next party. She’d be more concerned about having an enchanting mind than a pretty face. You have to be ready though, because a Pisay girl can’t stand anyone who she can’t connect with intellectually. She’ll keep you on your toes, randomly blurting out facts about the random things she has been reading, expecting you to share something equally interesting.
There’s a big chance she won’t know how to put make-up on, and for the most part she’ll appear tired and stressed beyond her years. She’ll be simple when you go out, probably in jeans and a shirt. She doesn’t have much time to dress up, but on the few days that she does, don’t be afraid to show her that you appreciate it. It’s probably because you’re very important to her.
She’s used to the pressures of a competitive education, of the life that comes with studying in one of the most prestigious schools in the country. She’ll cry every now and then, over a failing mark or maybe just out of stress. She won’t ask you to, but you should hold her hand when she does, sit next to her and tell her that you believe in her. It would mean more to her than anything else in the world. She doesn’t give up easily. If you don’t give up on her, she won’t give up on you too.
Don’t expect her to wait for you. A Pisay girl didn’t study so hard to be dependent on someone else. She’ll know what she wants in life, and if not, she will probably still be headed somewhere great. She doesn’t need a guy to assure her that she has a bright future. She’ll work hard, and get there with or without you. So if she makes the choice to have it with you, you must be worth it.
She’ll have a drive to go forward no matter what happens in her life, and she’ll be passionate about all sorts of things. Electromagnetic fields, unknown analysis, calculus, programming, web designing, photography, painting, volleyball, frisbee, robotics, art, dancing, and all those things that make her come alive in and outside the classroom. Capture her mind first, and heart will come in time.
Date a Pisay girl. She’ll inspire you to learn more, experience more, live more. Because simple as she seems, she’ll have a beautiful mind, polished by the intensity of a hardcore education. She’ll see the world through different eyes honed through years of training in science and technology. Let her take you into her world where everything is a question waiting to be answered, and let yourself get lost in it with her.
Exceptionally Ordinary, One Day At A Time 
sharing this on Facebook 🙂 God bless you!
Thank you for reading. 🙂
HELLO FELLOW PISAY PERSON !
hello, thanks for visiting my blog!:)
This is so true. 🙂
hi there. i guess most guys get intimidated with intellectual girls like us. 😉
I can’t believe some of my schoolmates don’t believe this!
I’m from PIsay to by the way. 🙂

This is so great! This reminds me that I “didn’t study hard to be dependent on someone else.” Kudos Quina! :))
I thought I can date one here.
I won’t exactly agree with this, but good read! I personally know a Pisay girl (not from the Diliman campus) who cares more about clothes and partying than science. And I’m sure there are girls out there who are just as intellectual as Pisay girls. It’s just that there “intellectual” girls are concentrated in Pisay of course.
Good argument though. In general, date an intellectual. Applies to both male and females too.
Indeed, I can’t speak for all of the Pisay girls, but this does go for a vast majority, especially those in the Main Campus. I’m sure there are others outside Pisay who share the same sentiments. This is just my general perception of those I’ve encountered during high school.
I only date those who interest me. Women like you.
sharing this to my Pisay girl friends. Thanks! =) Good read.
I am not pisaynon but my kids are. I truly like what you wrote. It may not apply to all but surely to a lot of pisaynon. So true, intellect makes a strong and independent person
My schoolmate from highschool is requesting that you write another article: “Date a Pisay Boy”. Please be sympathetic. He’s foreveralone.
Nicely written. High school was so long ago for me but it remains one of the best times of my life. 🙂
Nice read.
Is this inspired by Rosemarie Urquico’s “A Girl
You Should Date”?

No, this was inspired by one of my teachers, Sir Martin Perez and his post “Date A Girl Who Travels”. 🙂
i miss dating a pisay girl. hoping to meet one.. – pisay boy
Try attending alumni events. 🙂
Reblogged this on MarsNewRoman.
This was a good read. mind if i share it? 🙂
I don’t mind if you do. Thank you for dropping by. 🙂
can i date you then? (from pshs cmc w/ love)
I must agree, that those who are not interesting intellectually are not attractive at all!
But to be honest, I don’t want to be dated because I’m a pisayan (someone asked me before, that was a complete turn off for me). One should just be oneself, go to a good university and be sociable, I believe that way you can find dates who are suitable for one’s taste. Pisay is not the only good school around, there are lots all over the world! Those people who are like minded and not idling around might just find each other one way or another :). I’m not dating a Pisayan but I’m definitely dating a really smart and wonderful man!

My aunt sent this to me, and now that I’ve fully read the article.. I’m all fuzzy inside. 😀 #itsmorefuninPisay
So TRUE! 😉 Shared it on Facebook. God bless.
As I was reading your article, tears just flowed from my eyes. My daughter graduated from Pisay in 1986 and yes, she’s exactly the typical Pisay girl that you wrote about. She’s now in the US and after reading your article, I missed her even more so.
I married a PISAY girl! 🙂
I commented earlier but i guess i forgot to say this: Thank you so much for such a wonderful article. More power to you. I’m sure Management Engineering will be a breeze for a Pisay graduate like you. I’m aware that that course is really tough, especially Math-wise. I should know for my second child graduated in Ateneo with the same degree. He survived it but only after much effort, especially in Math, because he graduated from a high school where the grounding in Math was not as extensive as in Pisay. Whenever he encountered a tough Math lesson, he would usually run for help to his elder sister who was then teaching at the Ateneo College of Mathematics. His elder sister was, of course, the one who graduated from Pisay in 1986.
hmmm can i have a date with you then?
this is a good read. thank you for sharing
After reading this, it felt like I read my personal write up. Keep writing, you are really good at it.
almost 20 years on and it’s still true! very well written.
Very true. Pisay girls, keepers. 🙂

It doesn’t apply to every girl in Pisay. I don’t even know if it applies to me but this is awesome
Reblogged this on being kindred.. and commented:
Strongly agree that “intellect makes a strong and independent person”. It may not apply to every Pisaynon, but hell yeah, this is one good read worth sharing!
