Snow in Baguio?

Brrr... Isn't it too chilly here in Baguio??? And the temperature has just dropped to 9-degree Celsius earlier this morning when I went to a computer shop in Session Rd. It was quite odd because I never felt this level of coldness. Exposed parts of my body felt searing pain of freezing all over. I remember the other day overhearing a conversation when I was passing by a burger stall in Cabinet...

Do we really have to know evil to fight it?

A while ago, I was having an argument with a friend and roommate, Rommel, about evil. It came as a result of him explicitly telling me he hated me for how I’ve acted these past few days--I was so into the concept of personifying evil. As accusations go, I acted vicious, sexist, mean, stupid, slang, etc. The most significant part of the act however was feeling pleasure while doing these deeds of...

And the Nice Award goes to…!

Should I make a body that gives awards to the nicest persons, I will definitely not forget April and Charisse. Everyone might agree to the notion that they are rather forgettable than any girl around. But this is untrue for people who are best in what-lies-beneath judging. April Cambay and...

I have to defend TOFI…hmmm

This coming Wednesday, January 31, in our Soc Sci 30 class, there will be a debate. The topic is about the issue on Tuition Fee Increase in UP. And I would have to be in favor of TOFI. All I have to do is to show that there actually is justice in TOFI. Quite hard a task. For all we know, almost...

“Business Matters”

I read last Saturday’s Philippine Star. And instead of my usual Lifestyle-Entertainment-Sports routine, I happen to read a column in the business section with title “Business Matters” by someone I can’t exactly recall what the name is. The column is a five-star for me. I don’t exactly know if I am...

Physics Blockmates, the Best!

My Monday last week, January 22, ended with all the depressions and despairs in the world. None of the pledges to me regarding the solicitation for Math-Phy’s AMPI Quiz Show were coming. Beta Sigma and Cordillera People’s Alliance declined. PAGTA was hesitant. And the others, they kept extending...

Sir CAT, once a Math-Phy in UP Baguio???

My only initial task was to correct the names of alumni/ae in the last year's Math-Phy AMPI Quiz Show souvenir program. The OCD in me kicked in when I noticed the loss of several former society members in the previous issue of the program.I scanned each name alphabetically. And it was an exhausting...

San Mig Light: Not So Light

I don't drink. Well, I used not to. Back then I refer to myself as occasional drinker. And lately I discovered that San Mig Light is not really "light"--another "used to". I was such a foolish! I help myself a bottle every now and then under a self-indoctrination that light beers have less alcohol than non-light beers. It also happened that I liked the taste of it and wanted more of it. One...
