i am a UP student once again, complete with all papers, payments and harrassment.

enrollment in this university is just hell. and by hell i mean, lines, endless lines, lines of death, of depression, lines of eternity, of exhaustion. HELL, basically. however, all of these inconveniences were compensated by the fact that i finally have my lone major subject,[psych 101] courtesy of my AMAZING prerog powers. and then i also experienced the longest queue of my life just for the sake of getting my PE: cheerleading. sounds gay, right? fortunately, all we have to do in this PE is to watch UAAP games. no, make that BORING uaap games.

suffocating

because mykol is vain, we [rico, john dale and i], had to accompany him in his search for the best pairs of shorts to divisoria. and i thought UP enrollment was hell. divisoria is like, hell-er. people are swarming everywhere. plus, the constant fear of possible snatching freaked me out. gahd. it was stressful, tiring and morbid. divisoria is, so REAL. and so after that escapade, we decided to stop by at MoA and eat. [and of course, take some pictures]cute ko talaga.wahahah. see? my lips are pouting because of my braces. shet.

we had this sorta debate thing in kalai [No Gray Areas Debate Tournament]. it was an inter-floor debate tournament sponsored by our dorm's publicity committee. so beforehand, we had to attend this seminar featuring some bigwigs with technical know-hows about debate stuffs. kinda boring really. so boring that i had to take photos. [i mean, i should be on the photos.]

it was horrendously sleep-inducing. however, my interest was aroused because of a recurring 'past experience'. how vague. wahahah.i can't believe the orb is back. what should i do now. naks.

i strategically positioned myself for this photo. hanapin nyo ko...this was taken after the debate seminar. [me: tae, how can i stand out in this photo?!]

we were unlucky enough to be in the first round of debates against 3rd floor girls. and so with much cramming and overnight familiarization with the asian parliamentary format [we had to practice on: 'we regret the rise of Korean TV series'], we blabbered about things for the debate last friday. the motion we picked by lottery was : this house believes that the human security act of 2007 must be junked. we were on the opposition side and i was the deputy leader of the opposition.the debate was somewhat 'bigtime', because taking aside the venue [kalai viewing area] and the so-so tarpaulin, we had a philo summa cum laude as an adjudicator. hwaww. now that's what i call deep. we talked about the game plan and basically did these things: that yes, we concede that there is terrorism in the country, and another, the HSA should be revised and not junked. i think everything turned out well. i think.

i look sedated here. you can see my teammate, riley, at my right. he's from ateneo de naga and he's the only one who knows how to do a REAL debate among the three of us. and, he is gay, like LOUD gay. on my left is mykol, this is only one of very few photos where he is not posing. this is already the part where the adjudicator was handing out the results, see, i already looked sleepy.

one of the adjudicators was telling us something about an error on our arguments or something like that. i was already so tired so i didn't really give a damn. we won anyway! weehee! more rounds to go! tiring.
