ARGH. So I reformatted my pc today, but unfortunately, my product key was rejected. ARGH. And I spent thousands for this freakin genuine CD but I can't even activate it. GRRR...

Now I'm asking one of my professors for the xp pro student version to install in my pc. T.T And I still have to wait for it tomorrow. *cries*

On the bright side, it's my first time ever to reformat my pc. YAYS

And then JJ will be downloading Queer as Folk for me. OMG. Yay for me! He'll be DLing me 22gb of it. Mwahahaha.

I'm going to have QaF marathon over the weekend!! XD

So like, my limewire wouldn't connect and I can't download music!!!!! ARGH. I'm trying to download iTunes right now and hopefully it would effing install in my damn pc. *cry*

I wanted to download the queer as folk season 1 album. *facepalm*

So I'm still not dead, tho I think I'm halfway through that process. >.<

Just had the looooongest most unproductive weekend in my life. See, we had our overnight trip for our SOCTEC2 class, which we didn't really enjoyed MOSTLY because of the accommodation that was given to us by the school and that friggin' events planner that the Uni hired. Each student paid 2.3K and we saw that money go down the drain. It was pretty hilarious tho, how the students kept on complaining to the profs about the room assignments, the venue and the food. ESPECIALLY the food!

We were like refuge from some distressed town with no where to go but eat in some public school classrooms and a covered court. Well, that's a bit exaggerated but who cares. That's what we felt. >.< Not that I'm being all haughty and stuff but come on, who'd ever think that we, students of one of the most prestigious schools in the country (and one of the most expensive ones at that) will settle for something like what they threw us last weekend. It's a bit juvenile I know, but we paid good money for it, our parents had entrusted the school and the teachers for our safety and full comfort throughout the trip. But what do they give us? They give us almost broken down rooms in some third class resort with food that even the poor would barf on. Geez. Talk about being prestigious.

And because of that overnight, we didn't do anything productive the whole weekend, a lot of projects are due this week and most of us weren't able to finish those things because we were too tired from that exhausting weekend that they have forced upon us. I for one cannot study for our upcoming NTCORE1 exam because I'm friggin' sleepy all the time. I've slept all throughout the weekend and then my Lab class this morning because of lack of sleep. >.<

BAH

I found this while lurking around the net.

The Awful Truth About Filipinos

I might say I'm partly agreeing with this, but then again where's my pride as a citizen? I can't deny those facts they claim - mostly because people here do act like uneducated people and that's just because they are uneducated people.

The Philippines IS a third world country, it is also part of south east Asia. I can't even rant about the whole article, I'm mostly frightened that someone would suddenly send me a hate mail or something. T.T And there's the fact that I'll be blinded by nationalistic pride and say things that are lies. O.O I can't even say I'm proud of what's happening to us - who would be? If people all around the world claim we are imbeciles and idiots.

Okay, well I'll just be stating facts then.

Eight years ago, we have grown for about 76.5 Million in number that would - in approximation, make us close to 100 Million now. Yeah, I'm not some economist but I learned in high school that less that 50% of the children's population attends school whole year round. That would make half the children's population working their little feet off asking for alms in the street - or doing odd jobs like working in a cyanide factory which is by the way doesn't only border in child abuse.

Those children who do go to school - only half of them graduates from elementary and a quarter of those are only able to graduate from high school. From those high school graduates - only half do pursue a college degree and a half of those only get a diploma. Less than a quarter of those graduates do get a job.

Can you see the picture here? More than half the population are uneducated, they are illiterate, they have no, values no manners and apparently no respect to their own mothers as well.

We were colonized by the Spaniards for 300 hundred years, after that, we were "saved" by the Americans, only to be colonized by them in the end and after a hundred years of "freedom" our culture has been devastatingly corroded by those "influential" nations - resulting to what we call Colonial Mentality. Our ethnicity has been long gone, our "roots" have been long pulled - as shameful as it may be, we are a nation stripped by our identity and plastered by other nation's idea of a joke.

Yes, we - apparently, are considered as a joke. I don't know how Filipinos abroad live, but one thing's for sure, if they're using trash talk there, it's heaven compared here.

But what I didn't really like about the whole article, is that how they have so many fingers pointed out to us, when there have just as many faults as us. We are neither Gods nor perfect human beings. What we are is reflected by our own nation, I cannot deny that. I can't also deny that people are such hypocrites.

I don't know if your mothers have taught you this - ours did, and even if we don't have roots, we still know where we came from. They taught us to look back from where we belong and not forget about it, we were taught that we should know our own faults before criticizing other's. We were taught that we should look at other's good qualities instead of the bad ones - however little they may be. And we were taught to speak our minds and stand firm to what we believe in - even if we were about to be shot by a firing squad.

I know it's hard to look beyond one's imperfection - and mostly one nation's imperfection is magnified because of media and prejudice. I know all of that. But hey, don't judge others like we're one and the same, we're not robots - we're not manufactured according to model/serial type. You can't say we're bunch of non-original people who copies what ever they see on the street.

Also, a quarter of our population here are Chinese. But what's great about it is they're all Catholics. Read your history books - even if there's little about our country. And FYI, Asia isn't just about China or Japan. Have you ever considered Russia? A part of Russia is in Asia. There's Thailand and Indonesia for you, and a lot more islands if you look. God knows EDUCATED filipinos are more fluent in English than your President. Gosh. And I thought our people are mental.
