UP: University of the Poor... [sic]

Waw, LAKAS TRIP!!!!!!!!!

I wonder if it's true... Pero may pumalag pala sa nagsabi nito, seryoso pa ang sagot at depensa sa UP. D ko lang alam kung anong source nito kung seryoso ba o trip lng. Opinyon lang naman nya yan eh, ang masama eh nabasa mo, at taga-UP ka pa! Kahit sinu pwedeng gumawa ng sarili nyang negative statement towards any SCHOOL na gusto nya. Kanya-kanya lng ng ekspresyon, pagandahan nlng sa paraan ng pagpapakalat. At kung nabasa mo ang opinyon nya kontra sa skul mo, TALO ka!

Agree sa ibang sinabi (totoo eh! minsan), pero tono palang ng writer eh bading na allergic sa dumi na ang style nito. (Sarcastic talaga ang pananalita. Kaya natawa ako!)
Pero kung tutuusin mas malinis ang hangin ng UP kesa kahit anong ibang skul dahil sa GREEN ENVIRONMENT nito - kahit papano priority ng Campus. Pero malamang poor lang ang dating ng UP sa kanya kasi hnde sya nkatapak sa magagandang bldg ng UPD *naubo ako a*. Kwawa cguro sya kasi sa mga klase nya ay walang fan. Cguro sa college nila yon malamang! O kaya naman e puro GE lng ang natake nya sa 3 yrs nya sa UP! Kasi kadalasan makikita mo ang mga nka-sandong kaklase sa mga GE subjects mo.
Pano b yan lahat ng klase ko ngaun eh aircon eh, ung GE ko lng ang hnde (pero may fan un). And of course, ang mga lectures ay binabasa nlng sa harap ng whiteboard na may projector. Sa majors yun, HAHA!

Medyo obyus na hnde tunay na experience ang pinagsasatsat nyan. Nakakatwa lang kasi may pumatol pa at seryoso talaga! I don't feel the same pain, kasi sa lahat ng paaralan eh eto ang pinaka-hinde mukhang paaralan. Gusto ko ang experience. Para ka lang pumupunta sa isang bagong komunidad, nakikisalamuha sa mga tao, nakikisama, at natututo sa kanilang mga ipinamamahagi saten, dba. Di ako pressured, pero it makes me more responsible, to myself.

Tingin ko mas kahihiyan siya sa UP kesa sa pinamumukha nyang kahihiyan ang UP sa kanyang pagiging tao. Isang malaking pagkakamali na tinanggap at inaruga ng isang komunidad ang isang taong tulad nito. Umabot pa ng 3 taon!

At kung kasalukuyang LASALISTA ang gumawa nga nito, (kung totoo lang ha), ay malamang kasama nya roon ngayon ang mga taong gawa sa almirol at pulbo ang mga utak at mukha. (MAGALIT na ang MAGALIT, binasa mo eh!)

A Date to Remember: Sep. 11, 2001

Hinde ko alam ba't naalala kong September 11 ngayon. Siguro ay naghahanap ako ng kahulugan sa kakaiba kong nagawa ngayon. Apat na taon na ang nakakaraan, sinagupa ng Amerika ang pinakamalaking trahedya na yumanig sa pundasyon ng kalakalan ng Amerika. Ngunit hinde lang sila ang nabahala, buong mundo ay saksi sa trahedyang stateside.

Wala akong magawa kaya nagsurf ako sa Google tungkol sa 911 tragedy. Ang nakita ko? Mga website ng organisasyon ng mga taong naiwan ng mga nasawi sa World Trade bombing. Hinanap ko ang balita kung may mga nag-commemorate ba sa trahedyang ito sa ngayon. Wala na ata. Hinde na siya isyu ng mundo. Isa na lamang siya sa mga alaala ng giyerang hinde pa natatapos hanggang ngayon. Ang balita sa mga newsgroup na patok na patok sa ngayon ay ang bagong trahedyang dulot naman ng isang natural na proseso. Walang mga atomic o bombang ginamit. Ngunit damay na naman ang buong mundo. Ito ay ang walang makatalbog na ginawa ni Katrina. Mapa-tao o mapa-kalikasan, pag nagsimulang manira, pareho lang ang resulta. Kaya siguro pati ang trahedyang gawa ng Kalikasan ay pinapangalanan na parang tao. Para maisip natin na tao ren sila, marunong manggulo sa kapwa nila tao. Wala talagang pinag-iba.

Maraming inosente ang namamatay. Ngunit wala kang magagawa, kasama ata yan sa mga paraan ng Diyos upang kunin ang iilang tao sa isang dakot lang. Ganon ata ang misyon nila sa mundong ito. Ang may maitatak na babala sa atin sa kanilang pagkamatay. Babala ito mula sa itaas.

Espesyal ang araw na ito dahil ngayon ako nagpapaalam sa aking istilong Naruto. Byebye bigotilyo! Halina sa parokya...

A Puny Little Cleverness Test...

I answered all correctly except for the 3rd one. (The Math part, AMBOBOLETS!) I am quite used to this kind of tricky test anyway, but actually they're just a treat...

I actually grabbed my special scientific calcu to check if I was really wrong. As if I want to show this question that my calculator will agree to my answer. Unfortunately it made me realize how bad I am at Math nowadays. Even arithmetic...

So if anyone happens to drop by here, you better try this CLEVER TEST for yourself:

Below are four (4) questions and a bonus question. You have to answer them instantly. You can't take your time, answer all of them immediately! OK?
Let's find out just how clever you really are.

Ready? GO!!! (Scroll down)

----------------

First Question:
You are participating in a race.
You overtake the second person.
What position are you in?











Answer:
If you answered that you are first, then you are absolutely wrong! If you overtake the second person and you take his place, you are second!

----------------

Try not to screw up in the next question. To answer the second question, don't take as much time as you took for the first question.

----------------

Second Question:
If you overtake the last person, then you are?










Answer:
If you answered that you are second to last, then you are wrong again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST Person?

----------------

You're not very good at this! Are you?

----------------

Third Question:
Very tricky math!
Note: This must be done in your head only. Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it.

Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000. Now add 30. Add another 1000. Now add 20. Now add another 1000. Now add 10. What is the total?










Scroll down for answer.










Did you get 5000?
The correct answer is actually 4100.
Don't believe it? Check with your calculator!

----------------

Today is definitely not your day.
Maybe you will get the last question right?

----------------

Fourth Question:
Mary's father has five daughters:
1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono.
What is the name of the fifth daughter?










Answer: Nunu?



NO! Of course not.
Her name is Mary. Read the question again.

----------------

Okay, now the bonus round:

----------------

There is a mute person who wants to buy a toothbrush.
By imitating the action of brushing one's teeth he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done.

Now if there is a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses, how should he express himself?










He just has to open his mouth and ask, so simple.
