Don’t bend; don’t water it down; don’t try to make it logical; don’t edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly. - Franz Kafka -

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but Nature more. - George Gordon Byron

Give me what I deserve!

Disclaimer: I am posting this as a graduate of the school. I hope it won't affect my being an employee of the same school.

In 2013, I finished my Ph.D. Prior to graduation, I processed all requirements, had my picture taken for the yearbook, and paid all the fees. A couple of days before graduation day, I found out that I won't be granted loyalty award (4 years in Science High, 3 years in college, 2 years in graduate school, 3 years in post-grad). Thank you to our VPAA for making sure that I get the award. I really truly appreciate her help.

Well, on graduation day, I was given a plaque with someone else's name on it and was told that MY plaque will be given LATER (still not updated about whether it is already available). Today, my sister claimed my yearbook on my behalf. I was so disappointed NOT to see my name and picture on the list of Loyalty awardees. I feel so alienated and very angry. I want to throw the yearbook away or maybe at those people who caused this feeling of estrangement! On second thought, the yearbook is too expensive so I will just keep it. As for the plaque, well, I spent enough time in this university as a student to deserve that! Don't tell me I have to process that; don't tell me I have to beg for it!

Paano Ba 'To?

I am not a big fan of local authors but I use some locally authored textbooks in my classes. But one book caught my attention lately. I got interested in this book by Bianca Gonzalez. I believe that the target readers are young girls. But even if I no longer belong to the age group for which this book was meant, I am enjoying the book. Somehow, it makes me think of how I was when I was younger. Most of the time, I stop and say "Oo nga 'no!" Or "Hindi naman!"  

Really nice book.
