It is very hard to find someone like Sandra Jean "Sacha" Chua, who: 1. In 2000, won first place in all the local inter-university programming contests with team-mates from Ateneo. 2. In 2000, won first place in the HP computer quiz in Singapore, beating all the Singaporean and other asian teams, while playing with the Ateneo team. 3. In 2001, won with the Ateneo Bayanihan team the Microsoft.net award for academe. 4. In 2002, made 7th place with Ateneo Team1 in the ACM international collegiate programming contest, beating a HK team and all the other Philippine teams (include UP and DLSU), and bested only by the Tokyo, China, and Korean teams. 5. For three years in a row, 2000-2001-2002, won first place in the DLSU computer trivia contest, giving Ateneo the right to keep the roving trophy. And those are just for computer trivia and programming! I am sure that I am missing something here, but old age can destroy many megabytes of memory.
