First, I call it excursion because it was like a field trip slash vacation. No worries. Absolute fun. And yeah, we were participating another debate competition. It was the Nationals. Touted to be a gathering of the best and brightest debaters in the country. The good thing about this tag line is that it "glorifies" me. HAHAHA! Gimme a chance to boost my ego as it is often battered by stress and indiscriminate verbal assaults.

The dumaguete visit was a reminiscing of the past. When I was a high school graduate a long, long time ago, Silliman University was one of my school choices. They do have a good program and was definitely a home away from home, a second home if you will. Much to my dismay and frustration, I was not allowed to study there for reasons I wont divulge. Ateneo de Zamboanga is not totally off-tangent with the programs it has, it has nurtured me...more like brainwash me with magis and cura personalis.

How did we fare in the competition? Well, we did well! Too well than expected. Haaahhh! The joys of fulfilled expectations and of course, the unexpected ones. They say the best moments in your life is when one stands up after stumbling or after a fall, I have to agree. After making a complete embarassing Point of Information, the feeling of redeeming oneself is uplifting. Freaky. Liberating. Fulfilling. And yeah, I felt that was the best speech I delivered. I don't know about the others but I am happy about.

To more trials and sacrifices, to more victories and failures. Its nice to be molded by experience doesn't it?

This is a matter of urgency, I need your help. I need you comments for this blog. How to improve it would be pretty much the issue. Constructive criticism would be appreciated. No euphemisms please. Good day.

I suggest to click for a better view.

On a lighter note, I saw this photo when I was rummaging through blog explosion...hmmp its a funny photo but the feminist would be angry. Today, however I am at a loss what the feminist movement is all about. For me, women are already empowered with choices. Housewives are celebrated and their relevance to the family is priceless.

Where would you be without your beloved momsie?

Check the news, my friend, the Catholic Church is finally taking the stand. Or at least the necessary first steps. Soon, Vatican might just have some position on the matter. It does have a position but an outright declaration has not been established, to the best of knowledge of course.

Just some of the contents found in the link I provided earlier. Check it out.

God said to the woman [after she was beguiled by the serpent]: ?I will greatly multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children, yet your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.?

The words of the crowd: ?His blood be on us and on our children.?

I can't seem to understand the layout of this blog. I can't think of any. I can't contribute on more relevant blogs. And this freakin' heat is so annoying. I wonder if this is the effect of too much carbon emission circling aroung the globe.

Amazing how science work these days, no wonder religion is losing day by day its luster. As Dan Brown illustrated in Angels and Demons, science is the new religion. The search for answers can be fulfilled in science.

Enough of that.

We still cannot discount the fact that science day by day improve our lives. Man on the other hand has many abuses to perform. Pollution. Unsustainable development. Corruption. Greed. Senseless killings. What a world.

But the good news is we are trying to improve our world. At least some of us.

Vaccination for cervical cancer could be a savior for most women of southeast asia. The new vaccine, called Gardasil, gives protection against two strains of the human papilloma virus (HPV) which cause 70% of cervical cancer. But most women who are sexually active become infected with HPV at some time, so girls as young as 10 to 13 will be the target population.

Full story here.

Amazing isn't it.

Why does man have unlimited wants?

Because its fun and gives us a break from the rigors of society.

Because life could be better for that person.

Because man is insecure and is forever cursed to want some more.

:: Review of Teh Blogfather ::

In the beginning God created man, and man said "Let there be mayonaisse!" and there was mayonaisse. He looked and he saw that it was good. Not to be undone, woman said "Let there ketchup!" and there was ketchup. She looked and saw that it was good. Later that evening when having roast animal for dinner, they realised fire wasn't invented yet so they used a microwave instead. Adam decided roast animal tasted better with mayo, but Eve assured him that ketchup was better. And that, ladies and gents is how the battle of the sexes began. You heard it here first! Now, were it not for Ellery "Tha Debatanator" Ivaan who's masterful debating skills convinced Adam and Eve that you could actually mix ketchup and mayo, we would not exist today. So in tribute, you better show him some loooove!
