*WARNING: PERSONAL POST. SO UH, IF YOU DON’T WANT TO READ MY DRABBLE, DON’T PURSUE FURTHER UH, JUST READ UPDATE POST BELOW THIS INSTEAD XD*

This is the title of my playlist in my iPhone

READ ONNNNN ▼

So that’s it! Thanks so much for tuning in

APPRECIATE!

Okay I just wanted something to rhyme so pardon for the corny title. I just can’t get this thought out of my head so my pre-prepared posts just have to wait a little while longer to see the light of day.

You all know about the concept of Karma right? Or how about this quotes…

“You can run but you can’t hide
“Never bite off more than what you can chew”
“He who seeks vengeance must dig two graves: one for his enemy and one for himself”

Well I added the running part just because this person has already been THREATENED a lot of times. I won’t even divulge here the nickname of that… that… PERSON (oh do I wish I could use words of HATE but remember the title of this post XD) who has been actively cyber-bullying FELLOW college students, PROFESSORS, and even graduate students (she POSED as a graduate student but dearie we can sense that you’re an undergraduate here). So how again do you define cyber-bullying?

According to Wikipedia (yeah you can use it here in a blog but not in papers XD)

Cyberbullying is the use of the Internet and related technologies to harm other people, in a deliberate, repeated, and hostile manner.

And if you read her blog my friends, it is FULL OF HOSTILITIES and what even disgusts me the most is that the commenters ARE THE SAME. They keep suggesting PEOPLE to bring down. Think of this girl as a Gossip Girl-wannabe. Seriously she “tries” to dig up dirt about them and uses baseless rumours to shoot them down. But evidently her research is just bogus and she makes FALLACIOUS claims such as how she branded this certain student to be a USER just on how nice she is in the pictures. WTF was that? She even bashed professors which is incredibly DUMB for her if she is a student who has no respect at all. Have your own opinions but if it leads to bullying and hate, you’ve crossed the borderline my friend.

I can’t believe that she thought that what she was doing is “for the greater good” because then it would lead my fellow schoolmates to have a voice. A VOICE OF WHAT MAY I ASK? A voice full of crap if you ask me. She’s not rallying for a good cause, she’s rallying for a lost one. Oh this girl has TRIED to hide her tracks and be anonymous but she wasn’t able to do a FULL research on hacking. She didn’t realize that she was creating enemies (DAHELL) by the hundreds and that one of her enemies could be a best friend of someone she bashed, who happens to be a Compute whiz (if you know what I mean).

So she opened a pdf file by somebody she doesn’t know (WRONG MOVE FOR ANY USER. WRONG MOVE. NOW THIS IS A WARNING TO ALL. DO NOT OPEN FILES WHICH WERE SENT TO YOU BY SOMEBODY YOU DON’T KNOW/DON’T TRUST. GAHD THAT IS A STUPID THING TO DO.) and it so happens that it was a pdf file within a pdf file containing you-know-what and KABOOM! Guy knows her identity and emails her about shutting down her blog or HER DAYS AS A STUDENT ARE NUMBERED.

Seriously, she was indeed an undergraduate student. HECK MAYBE EVEN A SENIOR AND WE ONLY GOT ONE WEEK LEFT. Smart move my friend. Smart move!

So now the whole community is applauding this guy for bringing her down in a peaceful manner. But of course ethics and principles come to mind and I would like to leave a question to my readers, was it the right thing to do? I meant the thing when he decided to keep this girl’s identity a secret AND HACKING (which is unethical but what about that hacking group called ANONYMOUS (they hack to CREATE BUZZ FOR HUMAN RIGHTS/RIGHT CAUSES and I applaud them for this)?. The professor involved wanted him to divulge her identity because she has just crossed the line too much and must be reported to the administration. Or should the guy keep his word, his agreement with this girl? How about the statement THE ENDS JUSTIFIES THE MEANS? So hacking was okay because we were able to bring this down?

Something to ponder on

AGAIN NO TO CYBER BULLYING OR BULLYING OF ANY KIND!

This my dears is why you shouldn’t open A HATE BLOG and expect to be anonymous forever and get away with it :>

Just wanted to share something really insane stuffs that’s been going on in my University the past few days (oh gosh why am I

writing something academically related again well not really…) such as…

THE RUNNING DEAD!

Our mountaineering society has decided to pattern it to a similar marathon in the US where people who marathon are also chased by ZOMBIES!!!

It’s a BRILLIANT idea if you ask me. I mean not only will you be able to get your usual “exercise” factor from a normal marathon, but you also experience THE ADRENALINE RUSH, THE FEAR, THE ANXIETY, THE SHOCK and everything that you imagine a Zombie chase scene would feel like. Of course it’s not a pleasant sight, I mean who would REALLY want to be chased by zombies? But this is a safe and “realistic” way of imagining it. There were only limited slots for the runners and zombies (would have LOOVED to be a zombie, I’ve been practicing my zombie skills after watching too many Zombie films and series — WALKING DEAD IS AWESOME, PLEASE WATCH IT. Just be patient with the first part of the first episode and you’ll LOVE the ending — and too bad I wasn’t able to use them Next time I guess??

//EDIT I found the original American marathon! It’s called RUN FOR YOUR LIVES and it’s FRIGGING HILARIOUS! Setting is really somewhere in the boonies and the zombies are meaner and the obstacles are crazy! LOL and btw SPOT THE NINJA TURTLES AND WALDO HILARIOUS! Oh my gosh I want to see this in action, but how could I get to America? I would probably need a payday loan!

Also one of my coursemate (hmm should I blot out his name? hahaa but more than 6000 people have seen it so maybe not… !) has now become a 9gag celebrity! Have you seen his reaction paper regarding a field trip to the Malacanang Palace (aka The White House here in the Philippines, of course Obama doesn’t live there)? Come on I’m sure you have seen this already!

TOTALLY GOT RICK-ROLLED! 9gag frequent readers would know this term since Rick Astley is such a great Meme My coursemate didn’t really have plans on posting this on 9gag, just Facebook but… you know how some of your friends just suddenly go to you and say, “OH WAIT ___ BY THE WAY I UPLOADED IT ON ___! DON’T THANK MEE!!” And that’s what happened to him. Friend apparently didn’t erase his name so he keeps on being googled and being stalked. He has got some pretty WEIRD e-mails and calls. And he has been featured on our local news channel as the ____ STUD (___ is my university name, I just don’t want this post to be googled that’s why I’m not going to give any specifics) I have no idea why they didn’t complete the word STUDENT and just wrote STUDE. Weird! Also he just got a call today and it’s from a BIG media company! I wonder what will happen… Stay tune!

So there, exciting events have been happening lately! OH AND 2 WEEKS UNTIL I FINISH UNIVERSITY.

I CAN’T WAIT.

And here I go again! My post for some reason on Philosophy DISAPPEARED for some reason. It’s as if the Internet is conspiring against me and they Kouldn’t take the post anymore either. Is talking about Philosophy that bad? But kidding aside I should probably enable a feature here on WordPress where it e-mails me my post every time I write a new one so if ever I do lose a post or two (it’s not the first time it’s happened -__- Silly of me not to back up after every new post), I wouldn’t be that horrified.

I’m going to try to rewrite everything again just because I did enjoy writing it. I wonder how I’ll sound like the second time around

For those in college or Uni or have taken Philosophy in high school, do/did you guys enjoy it? Before entering college, I never knew the reason why people had to study Philosophy. I mean why ponder on life when you could be just living it. You know Carpe Diem, JUST DO IT. Don’t stop to think or smell the roses and bees (okay maybe not the bees), color ze roses or pluck the roses if you grew your own roses or found them from a place that allows people to pluck roses. Don’t think about the existence of the rose anymore or what its purpose may be or why did you suddenly have an encounter with this rose.

Or should I? The only influence that I’ve had on Philosophy is the Filipino “term” pilosopo. Actually maybe it’s only in the Philippine language when being called a philosopher is actually a bad thing. It practically means being a smart aleck or an ass or being sarcastic or something. It’s also a term for a “joker” too.

Por Examplo (it’s a bit green):

Teacher: Bobits, magbigay ka ng halimbawa ng hayup? (Bobits, give an example of an animal)
Bobits: Dog Mam!
Teacher: Very good! Give me another example.
Bobits: Another Dog mam!
Teacher: Abay pilosopo kang bata ka ah! Sige, subukan ko ang galing mo. Use “2 dogs” in a sentence. (Ay kid, you’re such a pilosopo! Okay, let’s see how smart you are.)
Bobits: mmmmmmm.. Yesterday, I saw a dog..
Teacher: O, sabi ko dalawang dog ah! (Hey I said 2 dogs!)
Bobits: E mam teka muna di pa nga tapos e. Yesterday, I saw a dog.. connected to another dog. (Eh Ma’am wait I’m not yet finished!)

AND BAM, you’re branded as a pilosopo. The person talking to a Pilosopo would usually roll his/her eyes or smack his/her head after speaking to one. But hey, this isn’t what Philosophy is about.

This isn’t the Philosophy that Socrates taught Plato at all or any of the Greek/German/French/Chinese philosophers have argued and debated for thousands of years. If you have read Heidegger’s What is Philosophy, he doesn’t exactly ANSWER the question straightforwardly (for that matter, do any philosopher?) and just goes about that philosophy is the act of philosophizing itself! The moment you question philosophy, that’s the moment that philosophy arises from. The moment you notice that a chair isn’t really a chair but simply the essence of a “true’ chair, the chairing-ness or the chair-ness of the chair, that is philosophy. Actually Philosophy is so broad, that after studying a few philosophers, I STILL DON’T HAVE A DARN ANSWER. Maybe just a form of one but it isn’t really the answer because nobody has ever answered the question yet. But philosophy deals with a way of life (though it is confused with religion because religion too is a way of life). It’s a set of beliefs I think anyway, I mean philosophy talks about ethics. The last philosopher that we talked about was Kant, and it was actually my professor whose name is Ice and looks like Jesus Christ (hey that sorta rhymes XD) who said this quote because he couldn’t take how Kant GOES ON AND ON and then says his point only at the end so you’ve got garble and hifalutin words (WHY KAN’T PHILOSOPHERS JUST SIMPLY SAY WHAT THEY WANT IN SIMPLE TERMS? Don’t they want to be heard? But I guess that’s the difficulty of language. They have to be written that way to be fully understood. It’s the reader’s problem then to interpret what it means) at the beginning and you wanna smack Kant in the face.

Kant deals with the kind of ethics where he sees that in a moral dilemma for example, a murderer walks in and demands for the location of your kids or loved ones, for Kant it is the right thing to tell him the location because YOU DON’T CONTROL THE CONSEQUENCES. YOU DON’T CONTROL OTHER PEOPLE’S ACTIONS SO YOU DID WHAT WAS MORALLY RIGHT EVEN THOUGH THE CONSEQUENCE MAY BE THE DEATH OF YOUR LOVED ONES. It’s all about the Categorical Imperative, in short if you have a maxim or a belief that can be applied TO ALL (NO EXCEPTIONS, THAT’S THE POINT OF KANT) then that is the thing you must do. HE’S CRAZY if you ask me. I mean wouldn’t you? He says that you must tell the truth ALL THE TIME. No exceptions.

I wanted to write about this because I found this nifty youtube video that explains Kant as much as possible in 3 minutes AND IT’S QUITE EFFECTIVE. Please do try to watch, it’s humorous and the drawings are also funny. You won’t get bored at all. One commenter even said that he learned more in 3 minutes than in 3 months. Haha!

This is why talking about Philosophy or reading it is important because this actually defines how we live. I mean would you follow Kant or go with Aristotle who judges people by moral character and virtue? I love my class now because my professor dares to ask the right and difficult questions and it’s a training that we must all have. We must learn how to question properly and rightfully so to help the situation for example of your country, or maybe even just your home. He questions those who don’t like Kant, who think that Kant is too idealistic or optimistic because he has a set of rules already. He’s not imposing though, he just says that a man can choose what is right for himself and doesn’t need external influences. I mean WOULD THERE BE POVERTY IF EVERYONE FOLLOWED THIS RULE of Kant? Wouldn’t everyone be all equal since you can’t lie, you can’t kill or anything like that (so yeah he doesn’t include cultural relativism so Eskimos killing their babies and old people is considered a wrong practice). But what do you think?

I suggest reading some of Plato’s works or Aristotle or Marcel (so that you’d get the Empricist side of Philosophy, based on experience and shiz) to get you started in Philosophy. Thomas Aquinas is good too for starters. I wanted to smash Heidegger when I read his paper but maybe it’s because he was discussing the difficulty of language AND BOY WAS IT DIFFICULT. Here’s one of Aristotle, quite funny really! AND I FORGOT ABOUT DESCARTES!

I guess this is long enough hahaha! By the way, I just received Krystal’s AWESOME letter last month! Doesn’t she draw well? Man thank you really so much for sending me a letter. Receiving letters is a joy of the past

Awesome isn’t it? I’d probably write more letters once school is finished

Questions:
1. What is Philosophy for you?
2. Do you agree with Kant?
P.S. Oh gosh my first academic related post in years

Thank you guys for reading my article on SOPA. I know it’s not the best explanation but it’s sort of a brief intro on it. I really want people to become aware of THIS HUGE ISSUE that’s going to affect the whole INTERNET. Call it communism or socialism but they are trying to hold a monopolistic power over your Internet freedom. Please read as much as you can about it even though it has been TEMPORARILY SHELVED at the moment because the FBI isn’t waiting for some bill to pass. They’ve already killed Megaupload and Megvideo and what’s stopping them from taking Dropbox (aww sh*t I have some files in there! I better back it up…). If you haven’t read it yet, I hope that you do read it if you have time!

Imagine that, Timothy Brown after 4 years of an innovative procedure… suddenly has no more trace of AIDS in his system… this is groundbreaking news! I hope that this year, I’d be able to blog more responsibly and spread news such as this more. I do like sharing information with people, information that I care about too. Maybe this is one reason why I’ve thought of being a journalist… but it isn’t one of my top career goals. I just really like sharing information with people… is there a name for such person?

If you were able to read about my very depressing post (the one about hamsters), I dreamt a very weird dream that night and I have been dreaming and have recalled EVERY DREAM THE PAST TWO WEEKS. Is this normal? Do you dream and then remember your dream every night? I was able to do some research online and every article says that EVERYBODY dreams except you probably don’t remember it since you woke up too far from R.E.M. stage or you didn’t have an R.E.M. stage. It’s so strange that ever since I internalized and thought about death and was frightened and shocked at the possibilities because of my sickness, I’ve been dreaming EVERY night constantly and sometimes I dream more than one dream. Sometimes I feel like the dream has been going on for a LONG TIME and once I even dreamt of the dream TWICE in a row but in a different manner. And just the other night, my dream felt SO REAL, I thought I was having a lucid dream. I somehow knew in my dream that I was dreaming…. and swimming in the ocean under the bright blue sky and I thought to myself, “Wow this is so realistic” inside my dream. Usually though I have weird dark and morbid dreams (i just had my Zombie Apocalypse dream, also me getting sliced by a meat cleaver at my back, don’t worry I wasn’t frightened of these dreams since they’re so common and I probably got used to it :/) so the wonderful dream about swimming in the ocean was such a respite from the past days.

Maybe it’s my subconscious telling me that graduation is nearing…

In one month I’m about to enter the real world…

and my subconscious is saying…

Not yet.

Questions

1. Did you hear about the medical breakthrough?

2. Have you every dreamt and recalled your dreams EVERYDAY for more than 2 weeks? Just hope that I’m not alone…

*COMMENTS CLOSED. PLEASE COMMENT ON POST BELOW *

Hey guys! Just want to feature a rising Pinoy band that is composed of my fellow Atenean batchmates! Their music is actually quite different from the local Pinoy artists and it has a really good alternative so I’d suggest this to fellow 80s or 90s fans Check it out!

From their YouTube page:

Never the Strangers, after all, as the band members explained their name, comes from their love for music, how it is a common thread that brings people—even strangers—together. This unabashed idealism shows the age of its members, who are all still in college at Ateneo de Manila University.

Meet NEVER THE STRANGERS ACE Libre—lead vocals and keyboards, PJ LaViña—drums and percussion, FRANCIS Victa—bassist and JP del Mundo—guitars.

Never the Strangers is a band formerly known as Leonecast—the band Ace and JP carried over from high school to college. When they realized that they are already a different band from when they had started—half of the members are new, even the band’s sound has evolved—they decided to change the name to Never the Strangers.

When asked how they define their music, each member throws in: “New Wave synth rock,” also “keyboard-driven rock,” but they have songs that are guitar driven too—but they all agree that rock music is their main foundation, influenced by New Wave, alternative and synth.

and Satisfaction Brought It Back.

So which do you believe? The first phrase or the whole sentence? I kinda believe both and context is always important!

So when Discovery Channel started its Curiosity series, I was intrigued. Heck and they keep on showing the commerial for its episode on female orgasm and what it’s for narrated by maggie gylenhall. But what really interested me was their segment for….WAIT FOR IT….

WHAT IF U COULD LIVE FOREVER?

Yeah what would you do? Would u avail these medical treatments if it were possible? Andrew Sage (guy from myth busters) tries to explore this world and yep, freakily (is there such a word?) the technology we have today seems to be telling us that it is possible in the near 50 or so years. THEORY OF SINGULARITY GUYS! (try googling what it is. XD) I really liked the segment except for a few farfetched parts (a flying brain… Seriously? but…) anyway i’ll stop yapping and you can check it out now. Thank you Youtube for full videos and movies!

FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY ▼

I swear that today will be the last day of procrastination. I have to fix my life and find le reason! LE REASON! I even thought of a new tradition of writing down this year’s failures and achievements and burning it afterwards. Or maybe i should only burn the failures… Maybe oh dear i only have a few hours to decide xD.

So before I say goodbye and welcome the new year, a little plugging for my offline friends’ new spaces in the cyberworld!

Lol I forgot to put the…
Questions:
1. So would you want to live forever if you could?
2. Please visit one of my friend’s blogs and tell me what you think
3. 2012 will be… I will…

I’ve really been meaning to blog since a week ago and im already lost in project 365 because of the backlog. Still currently interning ~somewhere in the Amazon~ and doing THESIS at the same time. I wouldn’t mind if they just arrived one by one but together? They make a pretty challenging pack! Aside from being addicted to books (30 books so far!!) and finishing Outsourced season 1 (IT’S FREAKING CANCELLED WTHECK!! will devote A post on this… Someday..) and Community season 2, i cant seem to squish blogging (le gasp i’ve even not touched tumblr for weeks now) in between. I have still to return comments! It doesn’t help that wherever I work has not internet. Am just using now the free 15 hours wifi on Globe. Le sigh…

I am so excited for June though because of so many things (cough bday cough! But i wish i could stay the same age… XD)! 4th year, french friends who are coming here, so many last things, and of course hopefully an opportunity at what I want to do in life will appear! I want to do so many things! It just takes a lot of effort, time ad sadly money. Howell, will get back to you bloggie again sometime!!

Life is like boxing, you never know when you’re about to be bloody hit by your opponent. Whether you’d be the one giving it or receiving it.

That was a whacked out simile but after what happened yesterday, I now officially know that Someone up there is always looking out for me. I only had an hour to sleep yesterday because I was doing our project and finals at the same time and expert crammer that I am, I thought that I could do it. But because of some bugs, the project didn’t want to run at all. The Graphic User Interface didn’t want to load at all and 30 minutes before the defense, I was still staring at some bunch of code. I couldn’t even test it out if it worked. But lo and behold when my partner and I opened it at our computer lab, it worked.

IT. FREAKING. WORKED.

Sure there were some bugs now that we finally found out (and fixed on the spot XD) but that was beside the point. We didn’t have to stare at some molecules of O2 or CO2, we actually had something to present to our professor. It was certainly one of the most nerve-wracking episodes in my university life. Have you ever experienced that?

Mom treated me to some nail spa afterwards. THANK YOU MOM!

Life also hands out unexpected things, like saving us when their was this STUPID FRIGGING DRIVER who cut across a truck and got his sorry arche licked. Good thing despite his stupidity, only his car and the truck was damaged, phew nobody got really hurt. Well maybe his ego. Good thing we didn’t get hit in the process because we were only seconds away from being hit too. Moral of the story: DRIVE SAFELY AND BE WARY OF CRAZY DRIVERS.

So happy that you guys liked my post yesterday and everyone was raving about the bookstore! It was definitely beautiful wasn’t it? I wish I could stay there forever… it was too bad I went there at night time, then I got a kebab afterwards! The streets beside it were alive and bouncing.

My readers before would know of my student exchange last year from August-December and I remember telling everyone that I would write about it day by day, but life is all about focusing and moving onwards. So I decided to just feature something with each post. Doesn’t have to be in chronological order. I shall definitely still have plans to post on my Eurotrip guidelines. Pls watch out for it!

Last post I featured Shakespeare and Company in Paris, now I shall feature…

what else but the Eiffel Tower?

We girls were screaming when we first saw a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower as our friend’s uncle drove us to his place on our first night in Paris and we screamed even more when we saw it up close! It was… awesome! We even saw a raid! Let the pics tell you all

Sorry for the lack of whacky pics, there are more whacky videos, I took a video of our flight up the Eiffel Tower (2nd floor only GAACKK we climbed 704 steps, IT WASN’T EASY.) Will upload it sometime

Questions:
1. Do you have a tumblr? Photo blog?
2. Anything unexpected that happened today?
3. Share a joke

Guess how i’m writing this post? Hahaa

Well am using iPhone!! Haha tis awesome really how technology works. I am soo happy that you guys have visited and commented once again! I really shall visit you guys when next week comes because life would be more free then. A bit then i go to my internship duties!

And before anything else… PLS WELCOME MY TWO NEW HOSTEES, ALYSSA AND TARYN!! Pls do visit them!!

I really wanted to share a book with you guys. I picked up this book in The Shakespeare and Company bookstore in Paris, France (every wall had a book crammed in, even the sides of stairs were not spared. It was the dream place of every bookworm!) even if saw this book here in the phils, the cover drew me to grab and sniff the pages, flip through them and just hold on tight and never let go. Im a judge a book by a cover type of person (because covers are part of books too though harry potter is my totem for breaking this rule of mine back then) and i fell in love with this edition. I wasn’t sure of the plot yet but i bought it anyway along with another book. After reading it tonight, i couldn’t help shed a tear. Scratch that tears.

It was wonderfully told in the point of view of a german girl living with a german family during the second world war. I have a bias towards holocaust novels and i love them for some reason. Maybe because i felt humanity in their pages. Of how humanity is capable of such goodness and extreme atrocity, what a wonderful and dreadful paradox! I loved Number by the stars and the Diary of Anne Frank but this book i shall remember up to my grave because of such compelling charactwrs. I cried at the hopelessness and futility of it all. And i remembered the fall of tearsdrops ive been shedding the past few days. Maybe it was because of academcs, of the intense pain of enduring that “cleanig” session in the derma a while ago which involves needles (yes it hurt like hell), and of whatever shallow or whatever reasons, i’ve been tearing up.

But then i contemplate and i try to still see some goodness in life. After all we’re here and we can’t do anything about it. There must be a reason why everything was made like this right? Sorry for such thoughts but I need to reflect a lot especially since my Philosophy final orals is next week and our professor wants insights, not just some parroting students. It’s a good thing too he let us watch Wit (HBO, 2001), a very um.. witty and remarkable tv film with the awesome Emma Thompson! I really loved how they explored death and the life of a person while the settings are only in the hospital or the university. It really does make you think…

I really do indeed recommend reading The Book Thief and watching Wit! Please do because these are such gems and am sure it’ll add something to your thoughts and reflection. Thanks so much for bearing this post. OH YEAH!! Pls do add me in Shelfari or Mubi if anybody has an account and follow me by clicking on the icons on my social slider on the left! Mubi is a site for movie lovers and they can share lists and… stuff haha. I still have a lot to fix actually around here O_O will get to it next week!

Questions:
1. Have you taken up or do you want to take a Philosophy class?
2. Have you read or watch them? If ever did you like it?
3. Share a thought for the day! (even… hey there are violent flying Asian carps invading America! or something like that… but yeah i did watch that in National Geographic yesterday XD)
