2007-12-26 04:28:00 The Worlds Universities Debating Championship first appeared as blip on Atheista back in August 10.

When Your Teacher Tags You, You Better Oblige?
2007-12-23 21:16:00 WITH ALL OF THIS ALREADY SAID, I’m passing the baton to Benj the MD/Master-Debater… I usually don’t do memes, but since this came from Dr. Ian Gomez from the Department of Community Medicine, I think I’m pretty much expected to answer this lest I want to be subjected to the consequences. It seems like a pretty decent ... More About: Tags , Teacher

Vaginal Repair: A Haiku
2007-12-22 08:55:00 Ok, it’s not really a haiku and unfortunately, it’s not the first time I’m writing about vaginal repair. This year, an old apartment that used to be a ticketing office magically transformed to a lying-in-clinic/ dermatology clinic/ spa! Well, the fact that this clinic is an enchilada isn’t the thing that’s most interesting about ... More About: Haiku , Repair
Cheating Rehearsal on Wowowee (?)
2007-12-21 15:46:00 It’s really hard to not pass judgment on this particular clip. From the looks of it, the footage seems to have been taken while the people responsible for Wowowee were rehearsing parts of the show. Of course, there’s nothing unusual with people making sure that everything goes smoothly, but you got to admit, if ... More About: Cheating

Can You Beat A Geography Geek At His Own Game?
2007-12-03 19:05:00 If you’ve been reading this blog religiously, you might have already chanced upon my minor episodes of self-promotion. I’m a big geography geek and I’ve been one for as long as I can remember (try age seven). That’s why when I found about Travelpod’s nifty Traveler IQ application on Facebook, I was very excited to pit my cartographic memory against the best that the world could offer.  The game basically challenges you to pin point particular locales on the nearly featureless world map. Of course, it can be prone to cheating so it’s a good thing that there’s a 10-second time limit. The closer you are to the actual location, the higher the score. You also get bonus points for being quick. Just like any other game, it starts of easy and the locations are places that most people could point to on a globe. The game requires you to achieve a certain number of points per stage (the game has 12 stages) to proceed to the next one. To my disapp... More About: Geek , Game , Beat , Geography , T A G
Die Skycable! Die!
2007-12-02 16:54:00 In one of the best kept secrets since Clark Kent’s secret identity, cable provider SkyCable can be treating its thousands of subscribers to a surprises that none of them are expecting. The prank’s magnitude is so vast that it’s going to be akin to a grand April Fools’ Day joke. The only difference is that a) it’s not funny and b) it’s never a good thing to start the year on a sour note. Starting January 1, 2008, SkyCable will no longer carry BTV, Solar Sports, ETC, 2nd Avenue, Crime/Suspense and JackTV. Yes. Isn’t it crazy that with just less than a month to go before a drastic change in their channel roster, a lot of people are still in the dark regarding this inevitability? Let’s put this into perspective. Clearly, people (like me) who are basketball crazy would lose their minds on the prospect of not having Basketball TV. BTV shows NBA games on a daily basis. No matter what time of day it is, you will see something basketball-relat...
Ateneo de Manila Victorious In Square Off Debate Championships
2007-12-02 13:37:00 With barely a month to go before the 28th Worlds Universities Debate Championship in Bangkok, Thailand, one team just got a very generous prize of an all-expense paid trip to the tournament. Ateneo de Manila University’s Sharmila Paramanand and Charrisse Borromeo won the Square Off Debate Championship after besting Ateneo de Zamboanga’s Alzhoheir Hajim and Henry Segovia. Ateneo de Manila reached the finals after beating Western Mindanao State University (octofinals), San Beda College (quarterfinals) and De Lasalle University (semifinals). The debaters from Loyola entered the tournament as the top seeds by virtue of having the best performance during the 2006 Philippine Inter-collegiate Debate Championship. Ateneo de Zamboanga was seeded 11th coming in, but they worked up the ladder by winning rounds against the University of the Philippines Manila (octofinals), Polytechnic University of the Philippines (quarterfinals) and the University of the Philippines Diliman (se...

24 Days To Go!
2007-12-02 08:52:00 Am I the only one surprised to know that that tall and imposing structure in the photo above is actually a dormitory? The participants to the 28th Worlds Universities Debate Championship (hosted by Assumption University - Bangkok, Thailand) will be staying in nice dormitory-type rooms that is reminiscent of what a three-star hotel would look like. As you can see, there are also basketball courts in the middle! cool! I’d definitely want to shoot some hoops before and after the round. Good thing my teammate also plays. The rooms are actually student dormitories for the students of the university. I don’t think any school in the country has dormitories comparable to what Assumption offers to its students. Each room comes with: Two 3.5′ x 6.5′ size beds including a mattress and a pillow. Students should bring their own bed sheets, pillow cases, and blankets; or they can be purchased at the book store.
