HAPPY 6TH MONTHS, BABY!

In Fairness To Me

In fairness to me, I have accepted my fate in Citibank. Special thanks should go to my lunchmates/citibutt girls accdg to Mark, to Sir Norman, to Daniel, to my Boss-Ma'am Cathy, to Erwin of Risk and to Tere - the boss of my boss.

In fairness to me, I have again gone shopping, sticking to the reason for indulgence 'birthday gift'. Sales are everywhere, eastwood, glorietta. You just cant blame me. I found nice stuffs in VNC, Mango and Ensemble. ;)

In fairness to me, I am still standing despite the long hours of work and in fairness, after filing my meal/transpo allowances for late work hours; amount was quite significant. But still, I'd love a rest.

ISKA SPIRIT

I wonder what UP really did to Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez for all those words he said. Would it have been caused primarily by his not passing UPCAT? Well, actually, am not sure about that but my gas why those words. He did emphasized that he was not generalizing but he was also quoted for this:

But he said he was “not degrading UP per se,” but was only questioning the kind of students that came from it.

I came this morning to UP and felt a doze of nostalgia flowing. I wanted to cry for when I saw the naked man with hands outstretched for freedom. I wanted to cry for Oble. I want to cry for all the UP students. I swear.

When I learned about how UP stood during Martial Law, I have always been prouder of the university. It stood to have a lil country of its own, despising the truth the government was insisting then. It was only UP who did that. Not because, they were destabilizers but because they loathed the way government was run. I would have been part of that given I was alive. When I was a student, I never came to any rally, because my parents would never allow me and I don't want to worry them. But I with all of my friends would join the red shirt and black shirt campaigns to contribute in the smallest manner.

I would always be thankful to my family for pushing me to study in UP. UP opened my eyes to a lot of things. In OUR UNIVERSITY, we were taught to seek the truth; we were taught to fight for what is right; we were taught even in Math to prove and not just accept theorems. We never had an easy life there, just a fun and worthy one. And you know what, Sec Gonzalez, we were taught to deal with different kinds of people even those of your type. I don't have to brag about the kind of students OUR UNIVERSITY forms because we are more than behave. We are more than that.
