SUMMER MUSINGS





it has been a week since the start of my summer classes. it's fun naman. tell you what, i finally experienced having an almost-priest-turned-marxist-and-atheist professor. it's not that i was looking forward to having one. i was just curious about how a person like him conducts his classes. haha. he's fun. plus he doesn't believe in grades. cool dba. 'coz i don't too. i mean, grades aren't really supposed to be used in gauging a person's abilities. you have to consider a lot of factors dba. however, there are times na nawiwindang tlga ako sa mga attacks niya against any religion, but mostly he attacks the catholics. i mean, he goes like "f*ck religion, f*ck blah blah..." oh well, it's his choice naman eh. and besides, freedom of expression is not suppressed in our school. pero it's my faith that matters naman dba.i won't let it shatter!




my other prof naman is a well-known activist. o dba, how's that for a summer? nakakawindang. haha. she's nice and fun too but she kinda hates business admin and econ people. oh well, it's not really the people she hates but their views. haha. kawawa naman kami. she's not in favor of globalization kc and she has angst for the people in TNCs and MNCs. but she made us secure naman na she won't be biased in giving us grades. you see, it's just a matter of choice. we are all entitled to have one and we must be able to defend it and accept the consequences it entails. too much for my summer musings. haha.





anyway, i just finished reading a book entitled 'memoirs of a geisha'. it's nice. i got to learn the geisha culture in japan before the 2nd world war. i really like reading fiction novels like this. i mean, the characters are fictional yet the plot and setting are not. it's like hitting two birds with one stone. naaaliw ka na sa kwento, you get to learn different cultures pa dba. yesterday, i bought 'the unbearable lightness of being' by milan kundera. i haven't started it yet but i'm sure i'm gonna love it. when i browsed it kc, i found it somewhat philosophical kaya i think it's interesting. next book i'm gonna buy: 'the god of small things' by arundhati roy and 'one hundred years of solitude' by i-forgot-the-name author. regaluhan nyo ko ng perennial classics na books!! wahaha. i'll really appreciate it talaga! hehe. i don't like reading gushy and mushy books. and the cheesy ones too. haha. no offense meant.





too bad i'm not going to spend my vacation in cebu this summer. but probably i'll be spending my remnants-of-vacation-days in my uncle's place in laguna after my summer classes. one thing's for sure: this summer, i have to AT LEAST watch one movie every week with my friend. it's a good way to release stress and have clean fun. btw, ok ung movie theaters sa gateway! sobra! i thought 'finding neverland' was a good movie. i was kinda disappointed. i found it common tska boring. few parts lang ung maganda. 'sahara' was just okay. tell you what, this week i watched 'top gun' for at least five times! haha. actually, i got to watch it for the first time just last week! beat that! haha. grabe, tom cruise was really hot during his top gun days! that was approximately 20 years ago.
