Freshly Squeezed # 2: For December's First, We Have…

Might not be that special, but here are a few that deem to be noteworthy:

-Bukluran was over. Everything went well, and thanks to those people who extended their hand just to make this project successful.

-Post-bukluran makes me want to just bum around and think of letting life swing away. But then, there is the Philosophy synthesis paper, which takes up most of my time. It's 20% of the Philosophy Seminar course, one that we need to pass in order to graduate. I'm currently working on it.

-… while the rest is on thesis making, spending sleepless nights to read Kant and Rorty just to finish a 50-page piece of philosophical work. They're supposed to be done on the 18th, while our journey will be finished once we finish our Final Comprehensive Exams and the Final Examinations in our different second semester subjects.

-Christmas spirit! Everyone is getting ready for gift-giving, caroling, and Kris Kringle. Just this Saturday, I spent the whole evening in SM Marikina to buy gifts for the parties.

-Fire and earthquake drills are irritating when you are the height of the interchange between doing your synthesis paper and idling on Facebook and blogger.

-And on a deeper note, I was able to appreciate being one with the Ateneo and San Jose community on reflecting and doing something about the recent Maguindanao massacre in the light of the upcoming 2010 elections. I was empowered and encouraged to write about it and send it to the Samahan sa Pilosopiya groups so that everyone could start sharing their thoughts and sentiments regarding the matter.

-The San Jose College community was invited by the Jesuit philosophers to have a Fusion Dinner at Loyola House. It was fun eating with and telling stories with our Jesuit friends, and we finished the night with our first ever Tinig Kolehiyo performance, singing "Diwa ng Pasko."

Can't wait for the weekend immersion (in spite of not being able to attend the Sesquicentennial Celebration).
