Chemistry is the Central Science

More Attraction = Less Force of Collisions & Less Frequency of Collisions = Less Pressure

I like you, so I don't wanna argue & we don't really have to. I feel good when I'm near you.

Philippine stuff...

GDP (PPP) 2005 estimate

- Total $451 billion (25th)

- Per capita $4,923 (112nd)

GDP (nominal) 2005 estimate

- Total $98,731 billion (51st)

- Per capita $1,168 (120th)

HDI (2006) 0.763 (medium) (84th) [Human Development Index, indicator of General Welfare]

We're actually the 11th most livable (according to general welfare) in Asia... and we're still complaining. Sabagay... check the inequality of allocation of resources...

one other thing... there are approx. 41,000 people per square mile in the city of Manila... I don't see that many people! Thats because our district is the least populated... 19,000 per square mile. I STILL dont see THAT MANY people.

Professoring...

God! Summer classes have begun, and already I feel like quitting the whole thing altogether.

3 new classes

3 new professors

one helluva field day everyday.

Ec102- Introduction to Economics, Agrarian Reform, and Taxation.

Mr. Edsel Tupaz

M-F 730-900 CTC203

Oh my GOD! People, search Edsel Tupaz on Yahoo or whatever search engine you prefer, and you will see why I am ECSTATIC to have this person as my professor. He's about 30-ish, and my initial reaction to him was, "Thea & Fi would loove this guy." It seems that his appearance mirrors his academic excellence as well... check him out. He corrects himself a lot though... funny actually. He also uses the oddest examples imaginable, while teaching us modified fun concepts, like how New Zealand trades sheep for microchips, and how if we are to lessen the number of spas in the Philippines, and force all the therapists and others to work in nata de coco factories, the Philippines would make more money. He rocks! One really "you had to be there" moment was when he explained 'Consumer Surplus' as 'I'm happy I got a discount!'

She's cool... lots of quizzes though... about 2 per period. :p she explains things REALLY WELL, and she goes by it step by annoying step. Much better than my first chem teacher.

Fil14- Panitikan ng Pilipinas

We had to read a 30 page Ifugao epic (Aliguyon) in a day. Yipee. Now I have to read that other Ilocano epic in a day too. Yipee. As we have to read 'Ang Mahal na Passion ni JesuCristong Panginoon Natin' by Gaspar Aquino de Belen, maybe that in a day too? Yipee... I haven't even memorized my prof's name...

Deadliest Shooting in U.S. History, and Why the Middle Class is Not Deserved

"The Deadliest Shooting in U.S. History" said the headlines on MSNBC the day that Cho Seung-Hui decided that he was to shoot himself, and thirty two other people in Virginia Tech University. Right after he shot two people in the college dormitory that day, and right before he shot thirty others, he proceeded initially to mail a package to the New York headquarters of NBC news. The package was described as "a multimedia manifesto" which included a written statement, a CD of quicktime videos, and a few pictures. From the written statement alone, one could already tell that Cho was deeply disturbed. The whole package was a long rant pure of angst and hatred, but not a shred of academic logic to be found. A disturbing point though is that since the package contained premade/prerecorded material, he had planned the whole thing for a considerable amount of time. His classmates defined him as "never talking" and confessed that he had antisocial tendencies in school. According to Cho's english professor, his works were of a macabre degree, and tackled truly disturbing aspects of human depravity. She was worried that his works mirrored his true emotions, as they should, so she offered to bring him to counselling. He refused. We see then the final creciendo of his angry, depraved, self indulged world. He treated those he shot as cattle. Murder is one of the most indifferent, inhuman crimes ever commited, and the fact that he was able to shoot thirty three people only tells us that to him, humanity has lost it's importance. What caused this lack of faith in humanity? Is it american society? A severe overload of hormones? What makes a human being lose sense of what makes him human?

Note though... shouldn't the civil war be the deadliest shooting in U.S. history :) or at least something like that? Maybe Iraq should be the deadliest shooting in U.S. history. It's their fault anyway.

Side thought... I was passing by the Sta. Cruz-Quiapo-Carriedo area, and I decided to observe the people around. Realize that most Filipinos belong to this sector of society. Realize that most in this sector of society still think that Erap was pro masses because he protected the weak in old badly made Filipino action films. Realize that the only boxer these people know is Manny Pacquiao. Realize that the only sports these people know is Billiards, Basketball, and Boxing. Realize that they still stick to their hedonistic lifestyles, which shows a sense of moral depravity. The Philippines doesn't deserve it's middle class.

Thoughts on a Past Year (R09)

Okay, so my english class (R09) just finished our modern adaptation of Bill Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream." I watch waaaay too much theatre. It was a magnificent performance, and I couldn't be prouder of them all. If any of the R09 people are reading, I know I've been a loner-ish oddball warfreak pain in the ass, but believe me, I enjoyed every moment in our english classes. (forget my cuts) I may not have shown it enough, but I have grown to know each of you by name, and I truly found spending those last days with you a truly blissful experience. (again forget my cuts) I'm sorry I didn't open up, as you guys didn't open up to me either, and I guess the whole year was one big misunderstanding after another. I am actually a sweet, sensitive, heartwarming person who is quite sociable. I just didn't feel like being one at 730 in the morning. Anyway... It's mostly my fault. I'm sorry for the lit shouting fiasco, the times I let any of you guys down, and for seeming like such a tightassed snob. I truly care for you guys though... I guess I'll be here if anyone needs me (which is doubtful) but anyway... thanks for a really sublime year. I LOVED it. Thanks especially to certain people like Xans Bernie Kat Glee who actually bothered to listen to my inconsistent ramblings, and the people who became my groupmates, and to all of you guys... first year was more than just comfortable... thanks for that...

Finals Week: CRUNCH TIME!

Crunch Crunch! Finals na poh! It's hell I know, but I have to get through it. 1.8 QPI... I HAVE to reach it.

Lysistrata

Watched a play, Lysistrata (original play by Aristophanes) last friday... The play itself was about the Peloponnesian war, and how an Athenian woman came up with the idea of witholding sex from their husbands until the war stopped. Her idea spread throughout Greece, and eventually even Corinth and Sparta joined in the "no sex until no war" thing. Anyway... the play I watched though was a modern adaptation... Atenean women witholding sex from their Atenean boy friends until they stop the whole DLSU AdMU rivalry... They supposedly hid themselves inside the Manuel Pangilinan Center, and refused their boylets happy time, unles they make up with the greens... It had a VERY sexual undertone, with the characters playing it out beautifully. It was at a high point of satire, unlike most who overdo the sexuality and turn proper plays into sleaze fests. memorable lines? "Wait! Wait! That La Sallian has a knife! Wait, that's not a knife... that's an erection!" Needless to say, it was hilarious, but unsuitable for kiddies... The parents who watched it... You should have seen their faces. Pity it was only a one night show... the'res another cool one coming up though... "Dante's High School Inferno!" sounds interesting... I'm going.

Poems on a Boring Math Class

ageless

I am ageless, like the water that brings life, like the air that serves breath, like the earth that holds firm, like the fire that consumes all. I am all these things. I am eternal.

I am ageless, as my hand is cast in stone, or passed on through by ink, or by sweet songs that bards do sing, or purely by virtue of my name. I am by my hands. I am eternal.

limmerick

still now my world is full of song, but i do not sing along, for though the music fills the air, my mind is lost out there somewhere.

Poems on a Boring Math Class.

back after a 3 month sabbatical

Okay, so I haven't had time to update this thing, since as I'm sure you know, we all have problems. This should be a sufficient restart for this thing... It's an essay (in Filipino) entitled "Dapit-hapon sa Ayala." It's about the (sort of apocalyptic) fall of Ayala Center into disuse and decay.

Dapit-hapon na sa Ayala

Dapit-hapon na sa Ayala. Ang langit ngayo’y nagbabagang apoy, o danak ng dugo sa kanluran, simbolo ng walang pag asang paglaban sa lumalaking sakop ng dilim para sa munting espasyo sa kalangitan na naiwan sa liwanag. Sa silangan, ay nabubuo na rin na parang ginuguhit mula sa hamog, ang kabilugan ng buwan. Nagsisilbing tanging ilaw sa malawak at madilim na kalangitan ang buwan, dahil matagal nang panahon ang nakaraan mula noong panahong inilaw ng Ayala ang kanyang sarili. Kahit sa malabong ilaw ng gabi, di maitago ng dilim ang kinalabasan ng sentro ng komersyo ng nakalipas na siglo. Ang panahon nga naman, sino nga ba ang kayang maghimagsik laban sa kanyang kagustuhan? Ang mga higante ng semento, bakal, at salamin; mga gusaling tumatangan sa hanganan ng langit, mga simbolo ng kaunlaran, ngayo’y multo na lamang ng kanilang dating kaanyuan. Maduduming mga pader ang madadatnan ngayon. Nangingitim sila, at nilulumot sa pagdaan ng mga taon. Mga batak na lamang na tinapalan ng mga pinagtagpi-tagping yero, ang naiwan sa dating makinis nilang mga mukha. Itinago sa likod ng mga piraso ng plywood at packaging tape ang mga basag na bintana. Maraming kwartong bakante, na hindi man lang pinapansin. Iniiwan nalang sila sa kamay ng kalikasan at anino. Sa ilalim ng mga naglalakihang gusali, sa mga nakatagong gilid ng Ayala Avenue, nakalinya ang daan daang mga bahay ng mga isinantabi ng urbanidad. Ginigipit ng kanilang mga barong barong ang abenidang tinatabihan nila. Amoy na amoy ang unti unting pagbulok ng Ayala. Mula sa mga barong barong, nangagaling ang amoy ng sabong panlaba, at maruming tubig na itinapon na lamang sa daanan. Nasasama pa rito ang amoy ng sunog na mantika, at ang tae ng daga. Lumulutang sa hangin ang mga malansang amoy na talagang nakakasuka. Isama pa ang naiwang deposito ng carbon monoxide na iniwan ng modernasyon ng nakaraang siglo. Mula sa mga gusali, amoy ang basa at nabubulok na kahoy, tinta ng printer, at sunog na goma. Amoy din ang matapang na amoy ng basang basura na itinambak na lamang sa tabi ng mga gusali, at ang panghi ng mga pinagihian ng mga tao. Nawala na talaga ang kagandahan ng kalakhang iyon. Nawala na rin yata ang respeto sa pagaaring pribado. Mga bandelismo lamang ang tanging kulay ng siyudad. Sa lahat ng mga pader, may mga nakasulat, na kung anong kababalakhan. Mayroong mga pangalan ng tao, o pangalan ng isang barkada, o isang fraternity. Pwedeng malaking espasyo ang nagamit sa pagsulat, o maaaring isang maliit lamang siya na guhit. Pati sa mga rebulto ng mga nakaraang bayani hindi na rinirespeto. Si Ninoy, ay puno na ng pintura sa mukha, si Gabriella nawawalan na ng sandata, at ang rebulto ni Chiz Escudero, nawawalan na ng mukha. Isang malaking tiangge ang dating Ayala Center. Natatago sa kalaliman ng kawalan ng pagasa, kawalan ng pera, at galak sa pagkababa ng mga presyo ng bilihin ang dati niyang kagandahan, at parangal bilang isa sa pinakamaganda sa mundo. Sira sira, at walang pagkukumpuni ang kanyang magarbong arkitektura, parang perlas na itinapon na lamang sa mga baboy. Wala na ang makukulay na ilaw na dating nagpabuhay sa istruktura. Iniwan na lamang sila, mga bangkay na lamang ng dati nilang kaanyuan, mga bubog na lamang sila. Wala silang buhay, dahil walang ilaw na nilalaman. Wala na rin ang dating kasaganahan ng mga puno ng dating Ayala. Ipinutol sila dahil hadlang daw sila sa kaunlaran ng Ayala. Kaunlaran ba ang hinaharap ng Ayala, o ang unti unting pagbulok ng kung ano dati ang sentro ng Pilipinas? Tila parang isang desyerto ang naiwan sa dating berdeng berde na Ayala. Naging isang tambakan ng naisasantabi ang dating kagalanggalang na Ayala. Walang ni isang pirangot ng dating kasaganahan ang naiwan dito, upang magsilbing paalala ng panahon noong ito pa ay nasa taluktok ng kanyang pamamalagi. Masaklap isipin ang pagkaiba ng Ayala ngayon at noong isang daang taon nakalipas. Ang degredasyon ng lugar, at ang pagiba ng katauhang nabubuhay doon. Ganoon nga naman ang nangyayari sa bagay. Industrialisasyon, commersyalismo, at isang sentro ng lahat, biglang pag masyado nang maliit ang lugar, o hindi na kaya ng inprastruktura ay iiwanan nalang ng mga capitalista, at iiwan nalang sa kamay ng anarkiya.

Because It's You

Coz' you're the only one my heart beats for...

The only one my mind adores...

and all I need's to let you know...

That you're my only dream to realize...

All my life, if must, will sacrifice...

All I need's to let you know...

That I love you so.

I hope you understand that the love I feel is true...

and I hope that you can say you love me too.

Coz' you're the only one my heart beats for...

The only one my mind adores...

and all I need's to let you know...

That you're my only dream to realize...

All my life, if must, will sacrifice...

All I need's to let you know...

That I love you so.

What's Up?

Okay... currently in a horribly nostalgic mood... am currently watching all the episodes of GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka the anime.) I want to be like him somehow... is that weird... I want to be just like him... I'm like a kid with an idol... I'm so pathetic I know... I just wish I had his courage... his audacity... his blatant frankness... his sensitive insensitivity... sigh...

Daycare/Outreach

Dec 9, 2006 was the day we went on our InTACT class’ exposure trip. I must admit that my initial feelings towards the trip was of general annoyance, but fortunately, by the end of the trip, a new, more powerful feeling had taken over my being… the feeling of sheer contempt. I, with all due respect, unfortunately have to say that I found the trip rather pointless. I will have to applaud the OSCI and the InTACT coordinators for coming up with such a wonderful idea, but of course when ideas aren’t properly put into action, or if ideas are enacted in faultily… well, things like this do happen. We played with kids. That’s exactly what we did. That is ALL we did. Exposures are supposed to be about seeing the reality of an undernourished poverty, and that of a gross state of inequality. It’s about peeking into the lives of those who are hidden behind colorful facades. It’s about how these people feel, about seeing what is wrong in our society. What do we do instead? We peek into the lives of the percentage of the population where inequality is lowest… in children… By the end of the day, I was disgusted… “How did you find the activity?” “It was a fun learning experience!” Exposures shouldn’t be fun… they are supposed to be gross… disturbing…
