The 1st Jose P. Laurel Intra-Lyceum Debate Cup was a debating tournament among teams from the seven Intramuros-based colleges of the Lyceum. It was held last Wednesday.
What makes the event great is that its aim was not to bring glory to the school’s debating team, but to proliferate the culture of debate among ordinary students of the university. What makes it not-so-great is the fact that the College of International Relations did not make it to the grand finals.
But even though CIR didn’t break, the event was memorable because I got to see good friend Gayle in this mode:
Instead of doing my homeworks, I browsed through some blog entries I posted on my other site ages ago. It’s fun laughing at how bad I wrote before. And it’s great to know that my writing improved a bit.
One big difference between my posts before and now are the subjects. Now, I write about topics that are quite relevant and informative. But before, I was kind of confined with light subjects like my experience visiting a beach (and stealing some girls’ pics) or being in our local town’s festival.
We will never stop until the bitch is out.
By the way, I called her a "bitch" in this blog even before Albay Governor Joey Salceda made the tag popular. I’m proud of me, lol.
The poster came from Schumey, who made the call for this worldwide blogswarm.
Above: Chinese President Wen Jiabao and his bitch
I always wondered why the Chinese didn’t make a fuzz out of Gloria Arroyo’s earlier decision to scrap the ZTE-NBN broadband deal after Romulo Neri’s appearance in the Senate made the deal extremely unpopular late last year.
In my view, the decision should have made the Chinese at least express their disappointment over the fickle-mindedness of the Arroyo government. They didn’t. Their president even tapped Arroyo’s shoulders as if benignly saying, "that’s okay, little girl." Why?
This picture was taken today during our cultural presentation at school. That’s me (right) with trivia-boy RB, the bright freshman who’s so full of information he probably spent his childhood memorizing the encyclopedia the way Shariah freaks memorized the Quran.
So what do you notice in the picture?
What? I look good in it? Of course I do. I mean what else do you notice? Lol.
I blew it! Dear God, I blew it!
I will fail the preliminary exams of the Search for Future Diplomats. I know I will and I feel so bad about it.
I feel so so bad. To the point that the only way to make me even smile right now would be seeing Gloria and Mike hanging by that nearby pine tree. And I’m not even sure if that would indeed make me happy. Gadz, I’m really srewed.
Step 1: OUST HER
ANY QUESTIONS?
This is in response to Jen’s call for bloggers to unite in protest against Gloria Macapidal Arroyo.
"Oust the Godmother" poster is an original work by Kris of the Nightdreamer while the Pidal mug shots came from the Manila Bay Watch.
On Valentine’s Day last year, I received chocolates from at least four girls.
That’s how it is in Japan during the 14th of February. Girls give chocolates to guys and guys are supposed to return the favor come March 14th (I didn’t give chocolates to any girl last year, by the way. Hehe).
This year, I didn’t receieve any chocolates. Kind of sad. But I got e-cards and e-mails from several female friends from Japan and my sister gave me some of the Toblerones she got from her anonymous admirers. My finger still smells of bittersweet chocolate.
The Catholic lobby in the Philippines is urging the government to ban condom advertisements because they say these ads send a message that it’s okay to have sex.
Well, yeah. With the exception of that Trust commercial featuring Winnie Cordero, these condom TV ads indeed give their audience the idea that it’s okay to have sex.
So? What’s wrong with that?
I’m not into filling scrapbooks up, but this tag came from the Nightdreamer, one of those few people in the blogosphere (lol, he hates that word) whom I really admire.
