What came first, the music or the misery? Did I listen to music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to music? Do all those records turn you into a melancholy person?

People worry about kids playing with guns, and teenagers watching violent videos; we are scared that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. ( Read more... )

Why was it necessary to create the feeling of loneliness when the human condition is that of loneliness already ( Read more... )

Jessup 2011 is finally over. The biggest mistake of my life turned out to be a not so big mistake though a mistake nonetheless. We reached the finals which isn't such a big feat given that there were only four teams. I'm just glad we put up a good fight against Ateneo, rocked doing it, and almost won. Mehehe ( Read more... )

Spending semestral breaks (or any kind of break for that matter) in school has always been pleasant for me. Most students would probably choose dying over going to school during their break - and I'm sure I'm not exaggerating. I on the other hand, find the whole experience to be soothing. I think this started in high school and was carried over to ( Read more... )

Today I realized how difficult it is to be a prof. Well it was a partial taste, a sort of sip from a punch bowl, but poignant none the less. Since I was volunteered as class "president" (aka the teacher's utusan) it was also my responsibility to audit the grades before the professor submits them to the College Secretary.

There are times when I feel like something is eating me up inside but I don't know what. Like I want something to the point of needing it and yet not knowing what it is.

I am so loving Verse of the Day~! It's become an almost daily habit of mine to check it out. It's just too bad that with the advent of finals I don't have time to check the original text from where the portions are lifted from. Today's verse was especially meaningful to me which is why I just had to make an entry despite finals week. That and I  ( Read more... )

"Tatanggapin mo ba ang $10 billion pero mamamatay ka after 10 years?"

A random question I heard being asked in the library's computer room a few weeks back. It seems that at the time, I was as bored as they were. Hahaha.

A person who accepts such a proposal is one of four things:
1. dying
2. old
3. foolish
4. virtuous

It seems something in Malcolm is seeping into my skin and spreading throughout my body. As the platitude goes: change is the only constant thing. The question is whether I’m growing or regressing; whether it’s poison or panacea; and some other permutation of it. I'm not quite sure. All I know is that for the first time in my life I'm feeling self- ( Read more... )
