siege at the manila peninsula: noise? revolution? or just plain BS?

hmmm whatever the answer be, it always end up with a surrender.

Anyway, just to be clear I am not against reforms and the change in the ways of the government. I just do not agree with people having to march along Makati or EDSA for that matter... it is the way they do their ways.

WE must admit that People Power has lost it's steam and (ironically) power. Just look at what happened last Thursday... Sen. Trillanes called for another mass action but not even a hundred showed up!!

After seven hours of standoff... what happened again (which happened in 2003's Oakwood)? a dumb surrender... (Trillanes has something that PMA has not taught, surrender in times of government pressure, zish.)

Why the hell do a takeover of Man. Pen. when you could not even hold yourself up till the end?

I would want to propose something that Sen. Trillanes would be able to use...
Think, strategize well, and go at the right timing. (Senator, didn't PMA teach you that? or were you obsessed on your big allowance while UP students take the brunt of a TOFI)

What's next? plain noise once more? an earth shaking revolt? or another BS act? Ill leave to the people in imperial Manila.

It was a fateful day that ended peacefully. Just a say to those who acted upon our desires for freedom and prosperity.

School realy haunts us 2

UP Baguio, classic 100-steps to bureaucracy.

- ID sticker processing:
= make a line at the back door of the registrar's office.
= pay an outrageous 8.00 for just a millimeter of sticker.
= take the line of long proportions at the main library for a stupid signature which could be easily done at the reg office.
= wait until the fat, impatient, inconsiderate, snobbish, bitch librarian to finish her net surfing and extra long coffee or pizza breaks.
= you are fortunate if you reach the insane signing period - 9:00 to 11:30 then 2:00 to 4:30. you are very unfortunate if you dont reach it. get back the next day have the same routine at the library.
= as the sem goes by, the OPAC may get in trouble again and you go back to the
stone age - borrower's card (that's BS!!!)



- BREAK

= whole day. expect extar long hours of break - coffee, pizza, lunch, yosi, and other breaks a UPan could think.

= Excellent EXAMPLE
Enrollment
= Lunch break for enrollment staff from table 1 to 10 - 11:30 to 1:30 What the hell!!! Are these people so lazy that those enrolling students who have to endure hours of standing and waiting in line need to suffer for their self-imposed long lunch breaks?
Most of the time they do not follow this. They have a break when they want to. Most of the time they take the break by 11:15 and come back 2:00. How @*$%&! is that!!!

= STUDENT Break- 1 week or barely 2 weeks for sem breaks. 2 weeks for xmas. nothing for comfort. 7 to 7 classes, etc.


More frustrations to come....

darn school days are back to haunt us all!

it is not that i hate goin to school but it is effin tiring already...
same instructors, same classmates(often irritating), same hypocritic school.

things that makes me shit in my own pants..

- heavy laptop (i regretted buying a 15")

- bureaucratic backlog at enrollments.

- crazy classmates who do not anything but say they are scholars of the land but do not even do a enough effort just to pass. bwisit!

- people who say only their side and forget about what others say about an issue.. they shut down their detractors. /(you know what i mean)

- professors who do see themselves as so superior that their students are a bunch of pea brains. (CAC pipol, you know once more what i mean)

- canteen that serves oily and fatty foods which are deemed cheaper than the good old veggies (ironic though, i.e. 30 - 1 rice + meat; 45 - 1 rice + 1 veggie)

- a school so oppressive that even power outlets for those needing power for laptops (in times of dire need), especially at the library, are turned off deliberately. guards would even scold you... what the? we paid expensive nowadays and you deprive us of the basics? - electricity, h2o, affordable and "worth-it" foods, efficient bureaucracy.

more to come from a frustrated iskolar...
