Us, a month?
2008-06-05 03:12:00 Felt that it was just yesterday… When we were still bickering on msn and sms, throwing ‘wet blankets’ and teasing each other endless, as friends. Still can’t believe we got together… Needless to say, didn’t expect 4 weeks to go by, just like that. When both of us were wondering if we would be able to pass the 2 ...

I?m screwed.
2008-06-03 13:00:00 Yeah, you got the title right. But of course, don’t go thinking all funny and wierd stuff. I meant my exam / studies. As most of you guys would know (if you read the previous posts), i’m supposed to be studying and preparing for my exams. Apparently… Even with 5 days of stay-home preparation, nothing helps. It’s not the “i can’t ...

After Drinks Thoughts
2008-05-28 19:32:00 In a way, i’m glad i’m not deliriously drunk or high in any way, for i was able to have a decent and uninterrupted chat with Arch, earlier at Harry’s… Which happened to be a nice place to chill, on a weekday evening with rather decent drinks. Before drinking, i was with my dear mei, ...

Ramblings: Silence, meaning, self
2008-04-01 02:07:00 Deep inside is the strangest feeling of emptiness when I stay in silence. I can feel that life is not worth living unless one will give meaning into it. I have to create my own meaning of existence and I shall not allow the influences from outside to recreate me. My perception shall be tamed, but my inner senses shall gather bits and pieces of myself and create me in the process.O silence, the uncanniest friend?friends become enemies and enemies become friends because of you. The disturbed try to break you through words, rhythms, colors and music but you?re still there?unbreakable, the sacred host of the ineffable. Are you the wife of darkness giving birth to the melancholic music of light?Where are the philosophers of this age? Can they destroy the strength of silence? Can they desecrate its beauty? How can cosmetologists beautify the ugly face of silence when its beauty is in its being silent? Where is the music that breaks the stillness of my friend?s presence? Where is the life ...
Defining transformation
2008-03-27 00:31:00 Yesterday I was in the office of the academic dean of the school where I am teaching. The school is relatively small and new offering experimental courses of theology and community transformation. This is the first independent school in the Philippines that seeks to make sense with theology as a legitimate branch of social sciences through a dialogue with other disciplines such as sociology, psychology, and political philosophy. In our conversation with the dean, we came across with defining 'transformative education' as the ethos of the school as an institution. Why transformation? How do we understand transformation in relation to education? Isn't education transformative, and the goal of every educational institution is to transform individuals through exploration of knowledge? How do we define transformation and how do we define education? How much effectivity we need to aim, and who need it? Such questions led us to think through the implications of our goals and roles in th...
