Adeste Fideles

Adeste, fideles, laeti triumphantes;
Venite, venite in Bethlehem.
Natum videte Regem angelorum.

Venite adoremus, venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus, Dominum.

Deum de Deo, lumen de lumine,
Parturit virgo mater,
Deum verum, genitum, non factum.

Venite adoremus, venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus, Dominum.

En grege relicto, humiles ad cunas
Vocati pastores approperant:
Et nos ovanti gradu festinemus.

Venite adoremus, venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus, Dominum.

Stella duce, Magi Christum adorantes,
Aurum, thus, et myrrham dant munera.
Jesu infanti corda praebeamus.

Venite adoremus, venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus, Dominum.

Aeterni Parrentis splendorem aeternum
Velatum sub carne videbimus,
Deum infantem, pannis involutem.

Venite adoremus, venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus, Dominum.

Pro nobis egenum et foeno cubantem
Piis foveamus amplexibus;
Sic nos amantem quis non redamaret?

Venite adoremus, venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus, Dominum.

A Hotdog Bite

So anyway... I'm supposed to be a newly awakened vegan or some such hippie drivel right? At least for just a month. No meat, except for fish, and no oily stuff either. If ever, olive oil's the limit. It's self imposed change that's meant to test my "Office of Willpower" or some such psych nonsense. A bit of history though... I thought of the idea of going vegan when I saw a shrimp cannibalizing a fellow shrimp, in a shrimp tank, in a supermarket. They began fighting, then one shrimp started biting the other, and 30 minutes later, the other shrimp's head was decapitated, and the fleshy insides of the dead shrimp were being feasted upon by the other shrimps. That was disgusting. Then I said "why not go vegan eh?" I then did my nutrition research, and found the next best thing to vegan: Pesci-Vegetarianism, which is basically veggies and fish. Normal vegetarianism involves too many nutritional supplements and proper diet planning for me to actually have time for, so at least by doing the pesci variation, all I need are B complex supplements! I don't expect to lose weight, and I don't really care if I do. It's a psychological challenge, not a physical one. Although my Philo teacher would rebutt that in 2, maybe 3 arguments... anyway... back to the original topic of the post. It's day 4 of my Pesci crap, and my mom woke me up early. I stagger to the breakfast table and grab the hotdog on my plate. I take a bite. I chew and swallow. My eyes widen and I realize I just victimized a helpless pig. I stare at the bitten hotdog for a few seconds. I raise my plate and hand it to my mom, and she says "Oh, I forgot too." I excuse myself, enter my Grandfather's room, and hover on the idea of Bulemia for a second. I decide that vomiting the hotdog peice wouldn't change the fact that I just ate a pig's... something. I'm disgusted at myself, and I want to scream. Then I think to myself, "Mickey, you're such a... DRAMA QUEEN! Bakla ka ba!?!?! iiyakan mo ang tirang tapong laman ng baboy!? Bayot amp*ta." Loosely translated, I told myself to f*ck off the hotdog bite. So there... I broke my vegan-ness already, but if God can forgive ignorance and acts done without cognitive consent, then maybe the lords of veganism can forgive me too. So there. DAY 5, HERE I COME!!! If I can stand the diet 'till Christmas, I'll continue another month, then possible extensions may arise in the future...

Please be informed that a major restructuring will occur beginning the waking hours of November 23, 2007 Current Circadian Rhythm. Such changes are:

a. As per request by the Office of the Superego, we are temorarily ceasing all activities of the Id in relation to outbursts of undersublimated unconscious desires as the office's overactivity seems to be damaging the Office of the Superego. The Id will be closed until repairs have been made in the Superego, and a strict screening process will further forth be applied on all matters of the Id Office. The Office of the Ego will thereon mitigate in a stricter manner between the Offices of the Id and Superego.

b. As per request of the Renal and Adipose Offices, Lipoprivic Hunger signals will be denied compliance.

c. The body will over the period of one month, from November 23rd to December 23rd CCR, undergo a major diet change that all bodily aspects must be made aware of. The CFFFO and DMO are then instructing the Memory Office in the Hippocampus and the Superego Office to remind the conscious Ego to strictly follow the applied diet changes. Also, all Association Cortices are to label any type of food beyond the bounds to be expounded later in the letter as "Bad." The new diet change will be entitled "Pesci Vegetarianism." Hippocampus, please also remind the left hemisphere of the Cerebrum to search archives for possible etymological meanings. The only acceptible foods to be taken in the next month are as follows:

Vegetables

Fish

Dairy

Eggs

-end-

Thank you for continuing to let Michael live. This new dietary change is only on trial basis in the time I have abovementioned. Possible continuation may follow depending on the sucess of the said dietary change. The rationale behind said dietary change is strictly Psychological, as a test of whether the Office of Willpower is still fully functional. Thank you again for your cooperation.

The Highday of Fish Fillet

The cat came in the door and told me she was hungry. I said I was too busy to feed her now but I would in a few minutes. She suggested we order delivery instead. I told her to order for the both of us, and I gave her a 500 Php bill. She said I'd have to make the call since she can't do so because of her lack of opposable thumbs. I sighed and made the call to 8MCDO. I ordered a double cheese burger, and she ordered a fish fillet burger. Milkshake for her too. What a demanding cat she is... While eating her dinner at my foot side, she shared her thoughts on the recent security lapses in the metro, and she said that the reason why our security is so pathetic is because they still insist on having dogs as an integral part of security. She said cats would be more practical. I sighed and didn't bother to argue with her that night.

Theo is God

I just discovered that if I die now, I'm going straight to hell. What's special about my discovering so is that my grade school religion teachers are as much a part of my descent to hell as Satan. Theology should be taught by Theologians, not math teachers who think they know God.

I'm guessing that Theology classes here are unlike all else... I won't bother comparing.

PSt11 F 1800-2100 SECLEC A Baldemor, Leandro E 10 6

note: This is how all the repressed sexual energy manifests itself. It's sublimation in one of it's best forms. This is a pun btw, just making sure none of you prudes take it seriously.

PSt11 Introduction to Provocation in Still Photography

Maybe it wasn't one of my best Ideas. I needed an elective, and the Communications department had only this class available for electives. It's a photography elective, just as I had hoped to get, but when I discovered that Leandro Baldemor was to teach the class, I started to doubt my choice.

PSt11 F 1800-2100 SECLEC A Baldemor, Leandro E 10 6

The class was from 6 in the evening to 9 at night. How were we supposed to study Photography without sunlight? The Comm. department secretary told me that it was a very practical class, dealing more with actual film work than the theoretical study of it. I then assumed that most of our photography work would be done on our own time, with sir Baldemor to critique and give tips on photography during class time. What degree of skill does Leandro Baldemor have in Photography anyway? The first day of PSt11 class finally arrived. I had been waiting patiently in a nearby coffee house, anxious for my photography class to start. I entered the lecture hall, and saw that there were only 5 of us in the room. It was odd when I thought about it, that our class was given the biggest lecture hall in the university, but according to the class description, it was limited to only 10 students a semester. What an extremely extravagant waste of space. Leandro Baldemor then entered the room. "Good evening class, welcome to PSt11 Introduction to Provocation in Still Photography, or as it is more widely called, Porn Star 101. I am Mr. Leandro Baldemor. You may know me from a number of films I did under Seiko Films. I will be your instructor for this semester. Over the course of 13 weeks we will tackle the hows and whys of posing for porn shots. Each of you students will learn all the skills necessary to be excellent red light thespians. This course is very practical. We will have photo shoots every week, at the last two hours of each class. The first hour will be spent critiquing last week's work via a focused group discussion, and also discussing a light theoretical subject related to the course. At the end of the semester, each student should have compiled 13 works of pornographic art. This is to be your portfolio. This course is a prerequisite to PSt12 Introduction to Provocation in Short Films. Consultation hours are by appointment, and during Saturdays from 10A.M.-12P.M. in the set of GMA's Marimar. Are there any questions?" I was dumbfounded.

To Tito Jaime (JAZdA)

Tito Jaime,

Hi tito. I heard about what happened to your mall the other day. I know it must have come as a shock, and I know you must be hurting right now, but I have to tell you that this is somewhat your fault as well. I know you'r busy all the time, but if you had even bothered to take a look at the situation of your mall, you would have realized that it was only a matter of time until something like that would have happened. Your security personnel don't even check our bags anymore. They take a peek inside, then just let us pass. I could have a hand grenade in the inner recesses of my school bag, and no one would be able to tell. In your defense, you did put up metal detectors, but you forgot to put metal detectors in all entrances. In a way, it was your fault. 8 people died. 8 people who could have somehow changed the world. You allowed terrorism to instill fear in our hearts, and you also allowed grief to take our joy away. Your hand was supposed to guide our country to a better future. This time, you let your country down. You let me down. I do still love you tito Jaime, and I will continue to support your endeavors. Please don't break our hearts again.

Love,

Michael.

P.S.

I went to your new mall, "Trinoma" the other day! I loved it!

Commentary on One Day

One weird day deserves a post.

Last Wednesday was one of those days that you don't really know why they happen. It's not a stressful day, it's not a happy day, but rather, it was one of those days wherein I seemed to have fallen down a rabbit hole, and Wonderland looks exactly like reality. The whole of Wednesday felt like a trip down the Yellow Brick Road.

I felt like Gilgamesh, seeking the gods' realm.

It was my Experimental Psychology Lecture final exam, and I had arrived at the venue 5 minutes late. The testing room was at the third floor of Faura Hall. Although the building is the oldest and most decrepit of all the University's Halls, it housed the most modern and technologically savvy departments, namely the Information Systems and Computer Science Department, and the Department of Physics. The room which was the site of my final exam, had windows on three out of the four walls. I, being late, took the only available seat, adjacent to the largest window in the room. As I was taking the test, I could hear the birds chirping, perched on a swaying tree branch a good 5 inches from my face. I then noticed that a bird was staring at me, as if saying "What a curious creature." I then stared back, and for the first time in my life, I had locked eyes with a bird. The test was rather easy, and the perspiration beading on my forehead was stunted by the cool October breeze. I finished my test, and then got up to submit my paper. I glanced upon my classmates who were still busy scribbling frantically. None of them had yet finished the exam. Some of them looked up and stared at me with quizzical expressions on their faces, and I replied with a quizzical expression on mine. As I exited Faura Hall, I though that maybe my questionnaire had missing pages or some other sort of technical misdeed, but the proctor did check my answer sheet before signalling me permission to leave.

Ten minutes had passed since I exited Faura Hall, and I was now staring at the overpass I was to cross to get to my post final relaxation hub. The hub is on the other side of Katipunan Avenue, directly opposite gate 2.5 of the University. Most people call the hub "National Bookstore." I call it "Home." I bought a graphic novel with what little was left of my weekly allowance. The novel was one that not most people know about, and one that even those who know about it won't bother buying it. I had bought chapter 14 of Tsubasa Chronicles, also known as Chronicle of the Wings. I was browsing through the novel's pages, when suddenly a generic Katipunan child-beggar pulled at the scruff of my shirt. "Penge barya," he said. He was asking for alms. He continued the monotonous chanting of "Penge barya" for a few seconds until I replied that I had run out of coins to give, which was true. He then looked at the cover of what I had been reading. A smile then formed on his face. "Alam ko yan!" He said he knew what I was reading. "Napapanood ko yan sa bahay! Nasa Animax yan e!" He narrated to me how he loved watching the serialized version of the comic book on TV. This struck me as odd. It was uncanny how a child, who persistently begs for alms, is able to watch a TV show shown only on a cable channel which is only available to a cable network which charges 500 Pesos or more a month for service per television set. He has to beg for food, but he is able to watch cable TV in his own home. I stared at him, dumbfounded for a few more moments, before finally shrugging off, and proceeding to make my way home.

I had disembarked from the train I had ridden to get home, and I was waiting then along the infamous Rizal Avenue. Hordes of Jeepneys were racing madly on the road, and the surreal blur of a thousand colors, and odd sounding horns was giving me a migraine. The stoplight then turned red, and suddenly, all was at peace. While the Jeepneys were frozen by the red light, I decided to start looking for a Jeepney that would take me home. I looked at their front windows, where their destinations are posted, and I found one which would pass by my neighborhood. I then proceeded to ask the driver where the Jeep was headed, just to make sure. "Saan ho papunta?" "Quiapo City Hall," was his reply. I had no chance to board the Jeepney since the light had turned green. I now have such contempt for that color. I pondered on the Jeepney driver's reply, "Quiapo City Hall." Quiapo, which is another of Manila's infamous areas was on the other side of the city, and Manila's City Hall was in yet another corner of the city. He had either said that his Jeepney would travel from one end of the city to another, or that Quiapo is now it's own city, with it's own city hall. Either way, the signs on his front window were lying. The Jeepney would not have taken me home. I stood there, where the Jeepney had left me, thinking of how odd the day had proceeded. I decided then to eat my lunch before proceeding home.

As I ate my Siopao in 7-11, I remembered the incident in the 1970's where the Chinese restaurant Mamon Luk was supposedly using white cats in it's Siopao. They had supposedly found a sack of cat heads in their trash. I took a bite of my Siopao and imagined how they would have ground the cats, and how they had skinned the cats. If I were the person in charge of skinning the cats, I would be furious. Skinning cats is not easy.

I was finally able to take a Jeepney home. It was a long tiring ride, due mostly to the fact that although Jeepneys travel 40 Kph at most, it feels like you're travelling 100 Kph. Jeepneys always give me the feeling of wanting to vomit. We had come to stop at a red light near the National Museum. A shirtless 10 year old then boarded the Jeep, with two dirty towels in hand. He scanned everyone inside the Jeep, and then knelt on the Jeep's floor and started scrubbing at everyone's shoes. Most people didn't mind the kid, who just proceeded to scrub away, indifferent to the looks he was receiving from the Jeep's passenger population. He stopped when he got to my feet. I was wearing slippers, and had just gotten a foot soak. He took a second to reflect on what he was to do in times of slipper wear. I half expected him to take out a "Shoe Cleaner's Handbook." He then shrugged his shoulders and began to scrub my foot. He even took extra care in scrubbing my toe nails. I stared, mortified at the fact that a shirtless 10 year old was scrubbing my clean foot with a rag that was used to clean hundreds of filthy shoes. Did he even wash the rag after each scrubbing day? Did he store the rag in a hygienic place? Did he use it to wipe his ass? I pulled my foot back, and he put his rags in his back pocket. He sat down on the empty space beside me and put his hand out in front of me, as if demanding payment for his blatant mutilation of my foot. I stared back with eyebrows raised. He quickly then leaped up and jumped off the Jeep. Post-facto, I stared at my once clean foot which had now been buffed with the microbes of a hundred soles. I expected my foot to turn violet and fall from gangrene at any given moment. Thankfully, it stayed on.

I got to my neighborhood safely, and I glanced at my foot one last time before getting off the Jeep. "I had a weird day," I said to myself. "Everyone has to hear of it."

P.S. I got an 87 in my exam.

The Semesteral Post of Gratitude

The Academe:

Mr. David Puen: Thank you for allowing me a chance to relive my only sporting passion...even if for only a brief period in time. I learned most importantly under your arm that not all passions are to be actively lived out, and that my passion would only add to the mediocrity that need not be fostered.

Mr. Renan Prado: I was afraid of you. I could not even approach you. I respected you the most. Thank you for your passion. You may love the language you teach, but with you, I learned that what makes a good teacher isn't that they are passionate about what they teach; but rather, they are passionate about who they teach. It isn't just about the course content. It's more importantly about people.

Mrs. Gilda Lopez: Your patience above all else should be commended. Thank you for all the chances. You understand the need of time.

Mr. Andrew Soh: You revealed to me the errors of my past as a thinker. Thank you for all the discoveries I had encountered in your class. With you I learned the most I had ever in a 3 unit class. Most importantly I learned from you that my being is not mine alone. It belongs to no one, and thusly be used for everyone's benefit.

Dr. Manuel Cuenca: "What I hoped you've learned over the past sem is the skills needed to survive in the real world. Harkwork, and taking responsibility are all I hope you will remember from taking this class." Thank You.

Mr. Weevens Ty: Scrutiny and a sense of Obsessive-Compulsion in our research is the most useful trait I have learned from you. From you I have learned all I have to know to survive the life of paperwork that lies ahead of me. You gave me a flashlight, in a cave with no light.

The Ateneans:

Drew, Mark, and the Tennis people: I would like to thank you all as well, because you indulged my competitiveness. You guys made a semester of Tennis worthwhile.

The Senior AB EU students in Spanish Class: Thank you for guiding me step by step through every lesson I didn't understand. You guys will make perfect diplomats someday.

Lis, Dee, Daph, Kurt, Dan, Erica, Crissy, and Luigi: I was a stat prat, and I know it. You guys kept me sane and functioning all through my 4th stat class. Thanks to those who opened up, and shared my paranoia, and also, thanks for being such a cool seatmate Lis. Thanks everyone also for supporting me even through my hazy times... I learned a bit about responsibility because of you all, and I also learned that chances are important.

Ael, Aries, and my other Ph101 neighbors: Aries, thanks for indulging my insanity. Thanks also to my neighbors for the mini discussions, and for answering my clarificatory questions. Discussions are best done with multiple persons.

Xans, Xan's boys, and the 60 other Physiopsych people: Thanks for sharing my grief :p We'll get through this. We worked our best. We learned that not all can be geniuses.

Tet, Patrick, DJ, and all the other Expep classmates: We weren't all that close because as a class we were required to separate into multiple independent groups (nyer...) but I could tell you guys had fun :) Sorry to Tet and Patrick for my lateness in most cases. I learned from you guys that Psychology is more than just theories and therapy. Psychology is life.

Congrats Archers Lunch

Had lunch with Thea and Sanny in Taft to pseudo-celebrate DLSU's win.

If Sanny doesn't want any more supershakes, then she can burn her intestinal lining all she wants :p

Anyway though... Swepsteaks is getting on my nerves... the food is soo.... konti. If it weren't for the supershakes, we wouldn't have been happy at all... grrr sweepsteaks... IBALIK ANG SHAKEYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeng wan't there 'coz of her monthsary happy day (to be spent in backrooms and movie houses *winkwink**nudgenudge*) I miss you orgee people :) although I get to see you guys at least twice a week, it isn't enough... :( Nothing much... just rambling... oh, and to those who have deviantart, check me out. You know my name :p

Looking Forward to What May Come

I hope things turn out for the better next semester, since this sem was a bit chaotic... I'm finding my way through grope by grope, and I hope there will be enough light to actually see where I'm going next time. I have a lot of people to be thankful for, and some I need to apologize to (no not you).

I'm looking forward to my ACED involvements, since I know we can reform public education... all we need is patience and perseverance. With Gloria's appointment of Fr. Nebres as Chairman of the Presidential Coordinating Task Force on Education, and ACED being his organizational arm, we were ensured a fulfilling year ahead of us. There are so many projects to join... which to start with?

I'm looking forward to my academic subjects as well... Philo will always be THE intellectually orgasmic subject of the sem. Developmental Psychology and Personality promise to make my sem interesting, and my Psychological Testing class will probably kill me. I'm starting my Theology classes as well... That means perpetual debating at the dinner table with abuelo...

It's days like these when I realize we can change the world.

It's the day after today that I begin to work for tomorrow.
