the world calls me. and i fear that i am far too involved with it.

bonum certamen, certavi, cursum consummati, fidem servavi.
i have fought a good fight. finished the race. i have kept the faith.
you know how i like to reflect? well im feeling kind of "reflect-y" right now. about college. i had three choices: ateneo, university of asia and the pacific, and university of the philippines. ateneo was too far for me. uap, on the other hand, just wasnt challenging enough. and then there's up. of course i should choose up, who wouldnt, right? it was too great an opportunity to pass on. so i took it, believing that i would take on perhaps one of the greatest challenges of life-being an iskolar ng bayan.
for one, we dont have theology classes in up. then there's the fraternities and sororities, elections, late reg, harassments, black prop, labeling, budget cuts, issues, and the incessant reminder that we have to give back to the nation what it has given to us.
i was supposed to join a sorority freshman year. i liked what they believed, stood for, and the sisses too. but i changed my mind. not because of paradigm shift. but simply because i didnt want to restrict myself to a certain number of friends. im not considered a quitter though, cos the neophyte stage hasnt started yet then. so there. my point being that theres nothing wrong with sororities and fraternities and whatever it is in between. as long as you know you what youre entering, as long as you know that you really want it, then go for it. some people just arent for somethings.
in up, election is synonymous to harassments, black prop, labeling, and issues. god. i hated the elections. not only were we disqualified, but we were harassed, given a bad rep, and labeled. conyo daw ako. fucking crap, what do they care?! what, they cant think of anything negatvie about me that they had to pinpoint my way of communicating? not like i make tusok tusok the fishball or anything. if i can express myself better in english, what do they care? id rather speak in english than pretend im good in tagalog and make a fool out of myself. and those effin fratmen, i cant believe theyre that low that theyd harass females. i never believed in putting someone else down just so you can win. wtf. thats an insult to my abilities and capabilities. cant they stand a competition? nevertheless, getting disqualified isnt going to stop me from doing what i wanted to do- serve the studentry. maybe not as a rep@large, nor as a volcorp, but as a student.
which is where the late reg comes in. we encountered so many problems. lost slots, lines, even lost medical certificates. and i wasnt the only one who encountered such. and they knew it. and yet no one did anything about it. i sent an email to the USC regarding the problems we encountered. Albert Domingo, the usc-chair forwarded the email to the cas council. i just hope they do something about it. because "UP kasi tayo is neither a reason nor an excuse.
this morning, in our macroeconomics class, Prof. Gutierrez pointed out that we should reciprocate the society's input to our education. not the government. society. the people. the mass. ang madlang tao. and i couldnt agree more. there was a part in my campaign speech that goes: "...we should give back to our nation what it has given us- the chance to succeed.". and much as i believe that our country isnt getting any better, i still want to stay here. that's against my parents' plans for me. but someday, they would have to understand that whenever we paid the 5thou/sem tuition, we are in debt to the nation, to the society, sa madlang tao. and i intend to pay that debt. much as other people would want to flee the country in hopes of buckets of green paper.
just one year in UP. and ive been through so much, and i wouldnt want it any other way. this is how i like it. reality as it is.
i have fought a good fight. finished the race. i have kept the faith.*
