Pumunta ako sa Ateneo last week para ibigay sa isang kaibigan ang isang librong pinahiram sakin. Ayun, ine-expand ang JSEC at may inaayos sa field sa may gate 2.5. Blue Roast din nung araw na yon at malapit na ang graduation ng batch 2012.
Naalala ko lang kung gaano ako ka-patapon nung college, at sobrang unremarkable ng QPI ko. Hindi ko alam kung dapat bang pagsisihan na hindi ko ginalingan, at kung dapat bang nagsikap ako o hindi. Hindi ko alam. Wala rin naman akong pakialam kung anumang puri ang binigay sakin ng mga guro ko sa mga presentations o sa papeles na biglang hinugot lang ang laman mula sa ere. Pake ko ba kung alas o hindi ang nakuha ko. Binasa ko lang ang ginusto kong basahin sa sarili kong reading list at nagcut nang sobrang daming beses para gawin ang gusto. Hindi ko alam kung paano ko napull-off ang grumaduate.
Hmmm... No regrets. Ang naging concrete achievement ko lang nung college ay yung pumasa ako sa Math 11 CEP exam at yung nadiskubre ko nung May 2010. Hindi ko alam kung posibleng mapull-off yung latter kung hindi ako auto-didact na binabasa lang ang trip. Buti naman at may napuntahan itong mga kalokohang binabasa ko.
Weirdo rin at maraming nagsabi sakin lately na puwede talaga ako maging guro. Salamat mga katoto, pero hindi yata para sa akin ang ganoong klaseng commitment, both in terms of schedule at yung mga kailangang i-fulfill na personal at professional expectations. And besides, medyo tied-up na rin ako sa negosyo at iba pang responsibilidad para sa pamilya.
Kung meron mang isang bagay na hindi ko pakakawalan, iyon ang anarcho-enlightenment value system ko. If you know how power works and the concrete manifestations of authoritarian structures there is always a way to fight back. History game-changers always start with an idea. |

Loads of bullshit. I'm sick of Western media portraying non-state actors as terrorists. If you're hated by the US or one of its allies (Ugandan government) then the entire mass media is pretty much against you. Read up on African history and the legacy foreign military interventionism.
What's really scaring the shit out of me is a US-NATO-Israeli attack on Iran, and how it could drag the Middle East and Central Asia into a protracted conflict. Plus the economic implications of course.
Nobody seems to be talking about this yuh? |

Very sad after reading the written plea of my former classmate, the daughter of a slain environmental activist. She was my seatmate during Logic class.
I know that this is a bitter pill to swallow but at the end of the day, you don't get anywhere with our busted court system. If there's such a thing called justice then it's of the summary kind, not this shitty and structurally glacial myth they call due process.

Simply the εἶδος incarnate.
Good riddance to rapacious fools who think of nothing but personal gain and continue to violate basic elementary and moral principles.

I miss the time when I was 40 lbs lighter. That was 5.5 years ago

Do you really get results?
Or if you have already, how much of a hassle did it take you to get from point A to point B?
Is it really worth it?
Sometimes it's easier to just get things over and done with the one-time-big-time way.
A lot of people really don't give a shit about it, but have the (audacious) resolve to invoke this shit of a term for stonewalling purposes.
The end justifies the means.
