mga kaibigan, kailangan ko ng tulong para sa aking papel sa pilosopiya.... as in, seryosong kelangan ko talaga ng tulong. ito ang panuto:
Show the range of ethical/moral problems and dilemmas that exists within your own profession/career. Choose one particular dilemma (and not simply a problem!) and show that it is truly happening in the Philippines today. Employing the lessons learned in this course, discuss the morality of this particular dilemma.
kapag sinabing dilemma, nasa gitna ka ng dalawang sitwasyon kung saan hindi mo alam kung alin ang tama o dapat.
Hal: kung ikaw ay nasa advertising: dapat bang magsinungaling ka sa tao para makapagbenta ng produkto o wag magsinungaling ngunit hindi mataas ang benta ng produkto mo.
basta, may kinalaman sa moralidad: sa tama at maling gawain.
sige na, tulong... naka-anim na proposisyon na ako ng dilemma at wala pa din natatanggap! next next week na ang pasahan...

i can't believe that the ateneo faculty wants gma to step down... and in such a not so eloquent manner too.
(there's a full page ad of "A Call to National Healing in a Time of Crisis" by the concerned faculty of the Ateneo de Manila University in the Inquirer today. if you guys haven't seen it, i think blurredlights has a soft copy of it.)
i think i have the right to be not so eloquent because i'm a student. but, c'mon, they're teachers. parang tuloy hindi nila pinag-isipan kung ano yung sinulat nila dun. i can't believe a teacher wrote that. anyway, on to what i'm trying to say:
asking gma to step down shows impatience. it's like a shortcut to what really should be done. pinangungunahan na nila yung konstitusyon. lahat na kasi gusto ng instant. what gma did was an attack on the laws of an institution and of democracy. if we want to set things right, then we should follow the law -- the exact thing that gma violated. asking her to step down shows more disregard to the rules -- to the process of law. (i wish i could be more eloquent about this, but i hope you guys get the point.)
what gma did was an impeachable case, and so therefore, the right thing to do is to put her in trial. there, she will be able to defend herself; and the process will really be able to prove if she did tamper with the votes. this is when people should be more critical because during the impeachment trial, a lot of facts will be brought to light; and a lot of things will probably be proven / discovered. do the people think that the problems will end when gma steps down? more questions will only arise and none of them will be answered. nothing will be proven... just more opinions... and goodness knows we have more than enough of that.
if the ateneo faculty wants gma to be personally accountable to what she has done, then the impeachment trial is the perfect place to show this "personal accountability."

hale has conquered our boarding house.
To beeee is all i gotta beeee....
make it stop. please, make it stop.
my brother has just recently acquired a hale cd and it has been playing non-stop for almost 120 hours now. sometimes, when he's not playing it, some force comes to me and i play it myself. and then i bail out a to beeee is all i gotta beeee....! i remember the first time that he played it -- it was six in the morning and my wake up call was a melancholy ...I don't care what they say... I don't care what they do... Cause tonight... I LEEEAAAVVEE my FEEEARRRSS behind.Cause tonight I'll BEEEE right at your side. we finished the whole album that morning and i left for school with a heavy heart... ang lungkot lahat ng kanta nila, pare! except for "Kahit Pa," which i now realize, after much useless resistance, is my favorite from the bunch.
but hey, the group's got some skills. i have nothing against sad songs -- just when a whole lotta them makes up a whole album. its like the person singing in the speaker got stabbed a million times but is still trying to sing another break-up song... but its not all that bad... i read their lyrics and they're ok. im not an expert in poetry, but hey, they sound poetic to me. sad, but poetic.
****
i jogged in ateneo yesterday with heaven_spawn , from 8pm to 9pm. ateneo's really breezy when it gets dark... and you hear a lot of strange noises too (apart from the blue babble practice)... you never know if they're ducks or frogs... or deers. it was ok.. tiring, yes, but fun. we started in the blue eagle gym, jogged all the way to the university road, xavier hall, soc sci, the gate 2 parking lot and back to the blue eagle gym. when we ran the route the second time, i felt pangs of pain on my sides (which i learned was called "side stitch") and on my legs. but it was fine with me coz atleast i feel that the jog is "working." haha. you're supposed to tear your muscles, right? so you can grow new ones. haha. so for me, the painful, the better.
but of course, i woke up with a sore butt and painful thighs the next day... missing tonight's jogging session was inevitable. hahaha

i went to the opening of my play (i dunno if its still my play because so many things have been added), "Stealth Mode," and i'm proud to say that i think i am now capable of writing a musical. haha! what started out as a monologue ended up as a musical. ang labo talaga. pero benta -- benta siya sa akin. it's like ok fine whatever meets wowowee. haha. at first, i was really nervous about the play because when i wrote it, i wasn't laughing at it like i did with Isandaang Paraan ng Pagpapa-Cute Sa Iyo and SAWI: Single Ako. Warning Ito. but it ended up having the audience roar with laughter. (guys, i know that you're gonna kill me for saying this, but... i just gotta:) sir niel is a really good director. *now looking for a bomb shelter* though they laughed at the punch lines (thank God, they got them), much of the humor was because of the stage direction...

last sunday, my brother and i were driving down fairview at 12am in the morning in his newly-restored 1971 superbeetle. while waiting for the go signal, four really young street kids huddled around the car. my brother's window was down so one kid talked to him.
"kuya, kuya, anong tawag sa kotseng ito?"
"pagong"
"ano? kangkong?"
"PAGONG"
"pagong? sabi nito (points another kid) kotseng kuba daw yan. kotseng kuba ba yan?"
i laugh. my brother just smiles.
"matagal na ba 'to, kuya?"
"oo, matagal na."
"kailan pa? eh kuya, kuya--"
"teka, go na."
so we went. when we reached tandang sora, my brother turned to me and said:
"iba talaga appeal ng beetle, noh?" then he winks.
...aren't cars used to attract girls and not street children? hehe. wala lang. just a thought.

i learned about this new preacher from Davao who calls himself the son of God. He also calls Davao the new Jerusalem. Okeey. My papa and ate jo always listen to him in the AM radio because, accdg to them, he's a good speaker. but when he goes mental, e.g. starts talking about him being the aon of God (i remember, my sister said, "ang selfish naman niya -- siya lang ang son of God. Eh ano na tayo?!"), they turn the radio off. they said he gives really good bible readings; its just a shame that he went, uh, ballistic. so anyway, i heard he's gonna build a new church and that he has a lot of foreign followers... Sige na nga. Gumawa ka na nga ng bagong simbahan. goodness knows how much more churches this devout country needs. his name is Quibuloy -- the new Son of God. ( i dunno if the spelling is correct.)
by the way, Quibuloy is kapampangan, the same as Manalo and Eli Soriano. Hmm...
mukhang mapupuno na ang langit ng mga kapampangan.

"it's over now, the music of the night..."
another school year, another tear... another beach resort to pollute. ehehe
i didn't think I'd reach this day (the last day of the school year) alive. everything bad happened to me ever since the week before finals. everything that could go wrong went wrong (i hate murphy) -- i was like in the front row of a film called "Jihan Goes Down"; i was watching how everything fell apart. all the misery started with the faulty printer head (hence, i couldn't print anything -- that was quite a hassle already). i lost my id -- twice!!! then i suffered through four days of high fever. and then, a friend got mad at me. i got over my fever but i couldn't study for philo because of my colds. then the computer crashed (where my reviewers are). the only thing missing is that i get hit by a car as i cross UP. but still, GOD is good. i'm still here -- enjoying the ctc comp lab and the feeling of uncommittment from school. for the first time these two weeks, i'm relieved (of everything).
though, happy i am for being free from school, i feel sad that the school year has ended. sniff.
(i'm very sentimental.)
maraming salamat, aking mga katoto, para sa isang napakagandang taon. totoong mas masaya ang buhay kapag may kaibigan. nawa'y sa susunod na taon ay makasama ko kayo ulit. :)
enjoy the vacation. to everyone leaving the country (and manila), take care on your way to wherever you're going. i am just one YM message away. :)

Man, it's such an effort to be good.
To be in good health; to be a good student; to be a good daughter; to be a good friend; to be a good writer; to be a good person -- to be a good anybody.
just when you think you're doing the best you can (it doesn't matter if it's with any thing or for anyone), someone's not bound to appreciate you. there's always that someone (or something) that will pull you down. one might say that that's life. and yes it is -- life.
all you can do is... still try to be good. because in the end, what matters is what you've become: a good person.
but that's just me (trying to be good).
oh, well.

And so it is.
Just like you said it would be.
Life goes easy on me.
Most of the time.
And so it is
The shorter story. No love, no glory.
No hero in my sky.
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you.
I can't take my eyes off you.
I can't take my eyes...
And so it is
Just like you said it should be.

last saturday, i went to this japanese underground theater play called "The Dressing Room" in the Sinag Arts Studio in Mandaluyong. i went to the play because (1) i have never seen a Japanese stage play before; (2) the poster was so cool; (3) i wanted to hang out with my philo teacher (hehe. i didn't wanna kiss ass, i just wanted to know how it is to hang out with those philo people. i was also with my two philo classmates: shine and mr_deja_vu). the person who sold us the tickets told us that THERE WAS GOING TO BE SUPERTITLES. but there was none. ...i can't actually say that i struggled for one and a half hours in a play that spoke a foreign tongue, because... it was not really a struggle. i think i actually understood the plot of the whole thing.
i don't understand a single japanese word but i actually understood the play. (mr_deja_vu took japanese for Foreign Lang so to hell with him. kidding.) i felt like i knew what the characters were saying just by the emotion in their voices, the looks on their faces and the movements they made. i can tell if they were making jokes because their eyes tell it so. and i laughed! i laughed at the jokes whose punchlines i didn't understand. it was so weird. but i had a headache after watching the play (because of the effort i made in trying to understand them). but the thing was, the actors were THAT good. the play was THAT good -- that the actors and the audience didn't have to speak the same language just to understand each other. ang galing. really great show.
after the play, the director (who didn't speak a single word of english) held an open forum. i picked up some really cool ideas from him. he said that he believes that the theater is free. let me expound on this phrase. the moment we took our seats in the theater (which was 30 mins before the show started), a woman in blindfold and wearing a kimono came out to the stage and started doing origami (which was later given out. i got one.). then a guy, who seemed like her husband started entertaining the audience. the audience were baffled at what the two were doing, asking each other if they were part of the play or just there to amuse the audience while they waited for the play to start. the director explained that the two people on the stage we're actually characters in the play -- they were part of the play. he said that, "The play starts the moment the people leave their houses." he doesn't care when the play begins and when it ends. that's why the theater is free. (its all about imagination. :p ) astig noh? galing niya.
i'd show you some pictures but mr_deja_vu HAS NOT UPLOADED THEM YET. hmp.
anyway, keio and whitesummerside, being the japanese-culture-fans that you are, i hope you catch their (really amazing and really cool) puppet theater on March 11. i'm sure you guys are gonna love it (and will understand it better than i did). :)

Sa wakas, nakarating na din sa pinatutunguhan ang Alay-Lakad Para Kay Winston. Tapos na. Malaking mga pasasalamat kina ichihachi, transient_freak, yumipitz at Shine-shine. Hindi lamang sila magaling umarte, magaling din sila mag-kulitan sa entablado nang limang segundong nilang nakalimutan ang script. (Hehe). Bagaman naiyak ako sa sounds booth, ang mga luha ay halo ng desperasyon at tuwa -- dahil nakabalik din sa tamang daan si Tanya (ichihachi) mula sa pagbubulong ni Nats (transient_freak). Whew. Pagkatapos ng limang segundo ng ad lib sa entablado, makinis na uli ang daloy ng dula. Ang galing. Nakapagyakapan na din sila sa overpass. Sa wakas, wakas na. :)
Bagaman naging malaking sakit ng ulo ang proyekto na iyan, nasayahan pa din ako sa pagpaplano at pag-eensayo ng dula. Hindi na tuloy ako makapg-hintay hanggang sa Fine Arts Festival, kung saan isasa-entablado na naman ang aming mga dula (at isang milyong rehearsals na naman ang gaganapin). Hehe. Masokista nga ba ako? Hindi naman siguro. Masaya talaga ang teatro-- lalabas ka man ng entblado o nasa sounds booth ka man.
Maraming, maraming salamat sa lahat ng dumating (at sa lahat ng tumawa sa corny na jokes ng dula ko -- bentang benta sa kanila ang kakonyohan ni yumipitz at ang linyang "Well, I am getting big" ni ichihachi). Gusto ko nga pa lang humingi ng tawad kay ichiahiachi dahil hindi ko na napanood ang kanyang dula (Sorry talaga, dumating na sundo ko). Pero sigurado ako na naging maganda yun, dahil sa labas pa lang ng kurtina, naririnig ko na ang mga tawanan ng tao. :)
Sige, hanggang sa susunod na dula. Hehe.
P.S. May nag-comment na napaka-natural daw ng pagsusulat ko ng script... Ah well, ganon kasi talaga ako magsalita eh. "O, ma-touch kayo ha."

I dreamt that I was a man.
I was in a Starstruck-like competiton, surrounded by bubbly and preppy and good-looking teenagers. I was quiet and moody. I was in a guy's locker room and we were all changing for our swimming suits. We were apparently in some pool house. Some girls were inside the guy's locker room and they (already in their small swimsuits) were flirting with the guys. It was like our own little Melrose Place. I was staring in a body mirror and I didn't have a top on, just black shorts up to my knees. I saw that I was the most good-looking guy there -- like a young keanu reeves. Seryoso. I was the kind that girls would sigh on. They wouldn't approach me, they just gave me these "looks."
Then one girl walked up to the guy behind me and told him, "Hey, how are you?" I knew she was making a pass at this guy but she kept slipping me "these" looks. I didn't return the looks instead I walked towards the pool.
Then I woke up with a baradong ilong.
Aw naw. Does this mean I have lesbianic tendencies?

Anyway, I really, really need help with my play. I need people to review it. :) I'm dying here. (Seriously)
It's in Filipino, but the use is very colloquial. So, it's easy to understand.
Please, please. I need all the help I can get.

They say that a lot of peeps have done this already-- well, I haven't. So, I would like to because (1) edlyn looked like she enjoyed doing it and (2) for the sake of saying "I did that name thing too!" So here goes my list:
If you call me jihan, then you are a friend, a classmate, a teacher or an acquaintance.
If you call me ji-hun, then you are my auntie emi.
If you call me ji, then you are a friend from miriam or sir niel de mesa.
If you call me ihan, then you are a close friend from miriam.
If you call me han, then you are my auntie minnie or that asshole who broke my heart.
If you call me ehan, then you are auntie baby.
If you call me ihawn, then you are my brother.
If you call me baby ihan, then you are my mika.
If you call me ihanzki, then we've probably spent quite a happy time together.
If you call me lolo jehan, then you are from my high school.
If you call me jihanniel, then you are either edlyn, yumi or cerz.
If you call me jihani, then you are joey.
If you call me hanji, then you are wil.
If you call me shaduyduy, then you are my mother.
If you call me baby, then you are my father.
If you call me ate chihan, then you are francez vanessa villavert.
If you call me sweetie, then you are my sister.
If you call me kikoy / tikoy / kikz, then you are debbie the kikay.
If you call me pepi, then you are my pepi tin.
If you call me homey, then you are core.
If you call me bes, then you are boris.
If you call me gina, then you are edlyn's parents. (karen po!)
If you call me helen, then you are edlyn.
If you call me hey / uy / "sabi ko na nga ba kilala kita eh", then you probably forgot my name.
If you call me ji-an, then you are one of the countless many who cannot pronounce my name right.
that was fun. :p
p.s. i want to burn my play. even i get bored in reading it. i need help.

In hopes of procrastinating more (in reviewing for philo orals), I have created a list of the cartoons that I now miss watching: hehe
1. Eek The Cat - I love that blue cat -- and I guess that fat pink cat too. And of course, SHARKY!!! Hehe. That cartoons was really funny. I think Eek The Cat is the predecessor of all the witty Cartoon Network and Nick cartoons these days (i.e. Spongebob). It was one of the few cartoons before (besides The Simpsons) that was really humorous. Let me share with your some anecdotes.
Eek: I guess saying I'm sorry won't give you the feeling back in your brain Sharky.
Pound Guard: Eek the Cat, your moll Annabelle left this for you. You know, she's really quite - eh....
Eek: A looker? Beauty? Goddess?
Guard: Fat.
Eek: Really?
2. Scooter and Bill - I'm not sure if these two cavemen are still part of Eek The Cat, but I always see them after an episode of Eek the Cat. Actually, I think Scooter and Bob were funnier than Eek The Cat. I actually find myself looking forward to Scooter and Bill's episode more than Eek The Cat. Hehe. This is where I got the famous phrase I use before a Theo or Philo test:
Bill: When does the hurting stop?
More funny anecdotes from Scooter and Bill:
Scooter:(holding camera) Hey Bill, I think I know what this is. Look if I didn't know any better I'd say this is a 10 to 1 ground glass zoom lens in a high density video playback capacity, light sensitive filter with a hair trigger volcanic detector, thermal retro active power source. I think this is something we can eat.
3. Prometheus and Bob - silent comedy at its finest (and in animation pa)! haha. I like that whole alien teaching a primitive man thing. I like it better when the primitive man does something really stupid and breaks the alien's video camera. Hehe. And oh yeah, the monkey's funny too.
4. Ranma 1/2 - I like all the characters except that old disgusting pervert. I hate him. Hehe. "Shampoo loves Ranma!"
