I’m already in a state of constant disbelief from asking for help.

Last time, I learned (from some egotistic psychologist) that depending on others will be your downfall. You cannot press F1 and expect people to appear so you have to be self-sufficient to survive.

Graphics Awards is knocking in my doorstep yet I don’t have a piece that I can submit. Why? Of all the people I asked help from, I only got a bunch of NO’s, one even vanished into thin air, the one who supposedly committed in helping me for the wonderful event. Probably, this might be a sign that I should not even pursue joining.

Coincidentally, the homily yesterday was all about HELP. (Yeah, I got the chance to celebrate mass for the unknown(th) time.)

The priest quoted a song from the famous band “The Beatles”(the band supposedly greater than JC himself.)

 “Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me?”

 The priest pointed out whoever we are, the rich or the poor, comes a point in our lives that we do ask for help…from our parents or friends or even from a total stranger. And in this time of need, we will find someone who will be willing to give time.

 Such is a classic case of SYNCHRONITY—the experience of two or more events which occur in a meaningful manner, but which are causally unrelated—(see Carl Jung).  I never thought this would be the topic in church, hell, it could be something about God and his almighty whatevers, or JC and bringing the dead to life or some one-sided “good” news.

Probably my cry for help reached somewhere; if these beings can provide me something…they have to make it quick, I’m actually losing my mind thinking where to look for help.

On other observations, What is it with people in churches? I may not be believing in the Catholic god or a good role model for all things good and holy but at least I respect the mass. I saw a lot of people texting, talking, and laughing around. Some were not even listening.

Why go to church when you’re not even willing to listen or celebrate the mass?

WHAT A BUNCH OF SHITTY HYPOCRITES!

The school celebrated the Feast Day of our patron saint a while ago.

Here are some of my observations:

1. Most seminars and events are focused for FACULTY, not students. No wonder students do not have any rapport or support for the event.

2. Offices received a memo to seize operations from 1-230pm. The Yearbook Office and our neighbor The Benildean was "asked" to close and attend a mass dedicated to the patron saint. "Asked" was just an understatement...it was more of a "forced". Codename Hi-tech was even wondering "Why force me to attend, I'm not even Catholic."
 (This one's true...unlike the usual student rebuttal, "huh? i'm Agnostic."

It made me think that it's one of the reasons admin and students have this invisible gap between them. You cannot force someone to like what you like to do. Everything in school is a requirement; and i mean EVERYTHING. You are required to attend parties, events, symposiums, lectures, seminars, plays that you don't even need.

If the event is something worthwhile, then you don't have to force people to attend it. The Eraserheads Concert this coming August 30 is something worth going to. DLSU's College Week is always box-office because of the various events students and teachers can participate. Even COMSCI's CCS Week was a blast (considering COMSCI students are a bunch of geeks).

I believe our school has more creative ways to think of making events, after all, it's an art school. (well...SDA for that matter) FSN is one example.

3. My boss pointed out "Kanina, Mass hindi kayo pumunta...ngayong may free food, dudumugin niyo. Ano ba yan?" Which was ultimately true and shameful for the students...What a bunch of freeloaders.

Then i thought, why give the students free food when you can give them to the poor people outside...or somewhere else (naks, Bayaning Pilipino) After all [again], the Lasallians are supposed to be for the poor, not for freeloaders.

Why do i sound so pakialamero? hahahaha I still want my school to be cool and all awe-inspiring (and really learner-centered) rather than the COLEGIO ng mga SOCIAL AT BOBO.

On other stuff, i went to this exhibit featuring works of (diploma course on photography) students at the BLACK BOX Theater. There were 13 concepts...yet only one was worth looking at [based from technical aspects and aesthetics, ayan ah, hindi ko sinabing PANGET yung iba hahaha]. Congratulations for "Breaking the Rules"...you have 4 votes (from me, my managing editor and my two bosses, and probably one from the AVP).

Still, do visit them, it's a way to get away from the stress finals week is giving us.

Pauwi ako kanina nang may madaanan akong isang commotion.

May isang kotseng durog ang unahan ang nakahambalang sa daan. As usual, maraming tao sa paligid, nakatitig, naghihintay ng TV coverage. Mayroon ding mga pulis na nagpapacute.

Nakita ko na may isang tao na nakahandusay sa kalsada...duguan.

Tumigil ang jeep na sinasakyan ko para makiusyoso ang driver.

Kaninang 830pm pa pala naganap ang aksidente--bumangga sa isang kotse ang isang lalakeng naka-motor sa may DIAN ST.

Nagtanong ang driver, "Patay na?"

Dun ko lang naintindihan na BUHAY pa pala ang lalakeng nakabulagta sa daan.

Walang ambulansya, Walang tumutulong sa kanya...wala din daw lisensya ang lalake kaya hindi siya ginagalaw ng mga pulis.

Gusto pa ata kasuhan.

Grabe, ang galing ng Pilipino.

Pag tinanong ka
"Sir, Anong size po ang A3?"

Ano ang sasabihin mo?

Hindi ito katarantaduhan, ito ay hango sa totoong buhay.
Ganito na ba ang MMA student ngayon?

Kung gusto niyo malaman ang katapusan...

Sabi ng Prof, "uh...A3"

Sabi ng estudyante "eh?...i mean sir yung size po?"

Hindi na siya sinagot ng prof.
