I've been spotted on YouTube! Our team in the 2005 ACM-ICPC World Finals (held in Shanghai) is in the freakin' thumbnail of the video below. We're the three guys in the bright Ateneo-blue shirts. From left to right, that's Allan Espinosa, myself, and Miguel Arguelles (who's actually hidden in the thumbnail). That's 0:46 into the video (or 0:48 from the end). Watch our 2 seconds of YouTube fame!
And here in this second video, I've been spotted again! This time, from the 2006 ACM-ICPC World Finals in San Antonio. I have a cameo role for another 2 seconds starting at 0:59 into the video (1:32 from the end).
...Yes, I am absolutely sure that those are my hands that are on the keyboard, and that that is my watch. I confirmed it by observing how my wrists and hands look like while typing. At first I was doubtful that it was me because I usually take my watch off during programming competitions (it gets in the way, you know). But then again, them hands were typing quite slowly so I figured it could've been during the practice session or in the Java Challenge (we placed 6th!) where we weren't in any rush.

Hehe... Fun! :)
