Pinoy Community v. 18

[Faust]

Yung mga government employees na galing ng UP wala rin namang nagagawang maganda. Sabi nila kasi daw nalalamon din sila ng bulok na sistema, kahit na super activist nila nung college kapag napasok na sa gobyerno nalalamon daw ng sistema kaya nagiging tiwali rin.

Hindi lang church at government magka-away sa Pinas. Church, Government, UP parang Rock Paper Scissors lang.

At tingin mo ba lahat ng estudyante sa UP 100% lahat matalino At hindi lahat ginagamit sa matinong bagay yung katalinuhan nila.

 

[baboysai]

sigh.

I'm not saying everything gets good results. Sabi ko nga diba, hindi naman UP lang din ang may magandang resulta. Depende pa rin yun sa tao. All I'm saying is that there is higher chance of learning if you're exposed to more things, and some opportunities that UP offer are among those things- maraming kurso na UP lang nagbibigay, or the environment of allowing free thinking, etc.

Like I said, marami din namang performers from other schools. Some schools also have their specialties, like business, IT, etc. etc. There is no difference if a person wishes to achieve. Ma galing ka man sa public or private, kung matino ka matino ka talaga. There are five children my parents had to put to college, four at the same time= mabigat yun sa bulsa, we were saved by enrolling into a state university. Kung private kami lahat ubos pera namin- although I wouldn't commit suicide.

I'm not belittling other schools, and maybe you have a certain bitter taste when it comes to UP, I'm not bringing that up.

I just complained about the government for not giving a crap about education (not only UP), but you constantly mention why you hate the school. I just came to defend it, is all. It just so happened that UP was a highlight of discussion because of the news was about the girl who came from that university. But it could have been any other school, and my position would be no more different. I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE STATE. problem?

SHUTANG INA MAE, this is the first time I knew about Chiz and Heart.

/shock

It's random link-clicking when I was reading about the whole Kris Aquino thing, which I also cannot follow- since wala naman talaga akong alam sa showbiz. Di ko nga alam annulled na pala sila ni James Yap. haha.

I'm so behind the times. I have cable but I really don't watch TV.

 

[mangadictus]

bakit parang ganun yung stereotype? pag UP, maangas?

 

[hunter71485]

kasi nga, radical political parties have infiltrated the educational institution (like other state universities). and since most of UP passers are naive, ideological and nationalistic, they can be easily brainwashed to "always defend your right to freedom of speech".

 

[baboysai]

madalas nashashatter ang dreams nila, haha. They are the ones who get frustrated more, since they were honed to be more idealistic

Maraming downside. Like the freedom to wear what they want, the downside is that when they are released to the real world, where, really, there are restrictions in the way you dress, nahihirapan sila mag adjust. lol. Most recent graduates would not know how to properly dress for interviews or their first few months of work. They do not know what is appropriate.

Yung also, being very idealistic and naive, pag sinabak sa working environment, they forget humility. That is why most employers are skeptical with hiring UP graduates.

And UP graduates are usually impatient, in terms of ambition, kasi nga, madalas malaki ang ulo, so they think pag labas nila sa institution, boss sila agad. But they do not know that green horns like them are easily swallowed by the corporate jungle, who are still run by the god that runs the daily grind, PERA. hahahaha. In the end, di nila maiiwasang maging slaves to money themselves- and opt for the easy way out.


Marami din syang flaws, pero nasa pagpalaki nga naman ng magulang talaga how kids manage to survive the real world.

 

[hunter71485]

that's the same issue with every other college and university, lalo na when they are one of the big names.

 

[baboysai]

speaking of radical political parties infiltrating institutions,

a recent example is the NPA attack on Del Monte (where my mom works). half of the attackers were actually students.

Many groups want to infiltrate institutions (mostly State Us, since they are the ones with close to no campus securities, etc. etc.) because they would only want the youth who are still very idealistic and easily manipulate them to fight for their causes.

I remember SM employees approaching students before influencing them to join their fight against the SM administration...

A lot of my friends accused me of being elitist, myself, because I don't give these groups the time of day. They would call me selfish, because I am only thinking for myself, etc.

Sigh. mahirap bang maging normal na citizen and just give taxes where they are due? mahirap ba maging idealistic in a different sense? Like, being ambitious with your own career? Or about the potential of your own career to change the country? With other professionals working together?

Kaso, kanya-kanyang trip lang yan. I have adapted that kind of perspective, which people may consider to be apathetic. Ang akin lang, kanya-kanyang diskarte yan bro. Kung saan ka masaya- yan ang mantra ko. Kung naniniwala naman talaga sila sa mga ginagawa nila, I trust in them, as I trust myself.

Brings me back to the question- I think that politician will never see the light of true leadership and sincerity if he has no will to change himself. It's political will to change the so-called "bulok na sistema". Eh as hunt mentioned, unless leaders have those, you'll have to give your trust in other things, I guess. :/

halalan na....

 

[hunter71485]

wow. so these left-leaning thinkers are the terrorists in our country. someone ought to revise the constitution and penalize subversive thinking with death, or worse, mental reconditioning. #1984 #totalitarianism

no seriously, we need one. too much freedom has muddled our sense of what is right and what is left.

Just saw the movie Django Unchained. hahahaha. As expected of Quentin Tarantino. Nahirapan akong ubusin chichirya ko kakapanuod haha.

Jamie Fox, win.

And... it's going to be my birthday in a few days too. I'm off the quarter-life mark, so to speak. It's that time of the year where I ought to reassess my life over.

and knock off one item in the bucket list, maybe.

 

[hunter71485]

i'm planning to watch django and the other oscar hits when i've finished downloading them in their full hd dvd/bluray glory. which means i have to wait until august for a decent connection/magnet link.

and then there's hollywood's giant mecha vs. giant kaiju epic. and the one piece film Z. gonna be a theatrically busy mid year.

 

[baboysai]

you're talking about Pacific Rim?

But my boyfriend didn't like the premise because it seemed like the big bad in the movie was a mindless giant- like the ever anti-climactic Kraken in Clash of the Titans. >.>

I didn't know Django was an Oscar nominee...

i wonder what boyfie has in store for your special day

i hope it doesn't turn out that way. can't blame myself for equating this movie with evangelion.

 

[baboysai]

i've read many comments about it being compared to evangelion, but I wouldn't go that far. Let's say it's fairly mecha, but it's not going to be as a mindfuck like evangelion haha.

how i wish it would be.

and.. just finished my ES21 manga/anime marathon. man.. nakaka-miss..

 

[Imperium]

I didn't know Django was an Oscar nominee...

It won two. Should have got more imo but I have yet to see some of the other contenders so I'm pretty biased. It's brilliant though, i love that film.

what, like you didn't read ES21 before?

I wonder what you thought of Silver Lining's Playbook? did you see that film too?

 

[mangadictus]

what, like you didn't read ES21 before?

of course i did. just reminiscing. sorry, re-marathon pala.

the kantou finals, christmas bowl, world cup, and epilogue in the manga could've been AWESOME if it had made it to the anime.

I wonder what you thought of Silver Lining's Playbook? did you see that film too?

if you ask me, yes. its had this rawness of an indie, and the flow of a feature.

 

[baboysai]

I didn't watch the ES 21 anime, I couldn't really relate to your frustration. But I loved the manga. (and missed yonie and Xophien )

sa NAIA 1, sa immigration.

I thought, really?

as sasaki koutaro would say, "that's smart!"

I don't know if the graphic artist was high on drugs that time he made that, submitted it to the old fogeys, they approved it, and he got to laugh about it after, or some other story behind it. >.>
