So I happened to see on TV that Mike Velarde and a Brother something something are planning to run for President. As if that wasn't lol enough, they also managed to interview some supporters. One response really stuck to me. The guy said something like,

Most of the leaders of old times naman were selected by God. And they turned out to be effective rulers.

That's not the exact words he said. I remember him saying something like, "Yung pinili ni God." I just love it when people use "ni God/ si God" in a sentence.

For example,

Eh kasi, sabi ni God...

I love it. Close sila.

I never understood religious people. Back in high school, we had a bunch of cathecists who taught us Bible stuff. It wasn't so bad. But that time, I hated the thought of memorizing prayers. I still do. I hate treating a prayer like some sort of incantation. And if I had to, I wish I learned it in Latin. Then it would at least sound like a magic spell.

I think I just meet the wrong religious people. My uncle's mistress was devout. Always talking of stuff na sinabi ni God and always going to those praise things they do. But, she's a mistress. And quite evil. That's really fucked up.

Yano could not have said it better. Banal na aso, Santong kabayo.

I've heard of this religion teacher in DLSU. Not to be all judgmental of their educational system there or anything, but to pay tuition for a religion course is BULLSHIT imo.

Anyway, so this religion teacher. From what I hear, quite strict. And requires people to attend and get certificates for seminars. Now, I'm not big on these seminars myself, but I think I'm logical to think that you don't have to attend a pre-marriage seminar if you're not about to get married. Now, I can't stop loling at the idea of a Religion class in college, but I don't get why there should be papers and research work for a course that's not even necessary.

There are a lot of pathetic and utterly useless teachers in the country. I'd know, I don't remember learning much from school. I did get lucky enough that I encountered some brilliant ones I was able to learn from, but the rest of the crowd, sheer crap.

I don't know if it was just me, but my incompetent teachers were the ones who gave ridiculous homework. (Example: forcing you to attend vocational seminars)

I also remember my issue about group work. Ah group work. I remember how professors would insist on some random grouping scheme, to teach us "how to work with other people."

I see the point. When you start your professional career, you will be thrown into "random" groups. So it's training. Me, I believe in not grouping yourself with people you know to be incompetent morons. Now, since Professor GroupWork obviously cannot judge our individual contributions to the group work, then it seems that the groupmates are not the only incompetent morons in the picture.

Learning is a continuous process. I didn't stop learning when I was outside school. And I didn't start learning when I was there.

I stopped going to church. I don't have a profound reason for that. I was just lazy. I enjoy watching televangelists debate. It's crazy. I'm amazed at how the church is fighting against the Reproductive Health Bill. Get on with the unprotected fucking! The church has your back! Of course, they won't feed your children, or send them to school or anything. In any case, carry on.
