OMG, i'm so lucky!


okay... so i want to take summer classes so that i would have advanced units. then there came the pre-enlistment and i realized that there are no more GE subjects that i have to take. fine... then take major subjects instead. so i asked my blocmates for the possibility of making a petition so that major subjects will be offered. but no, that can't be possible. subjects in philosophy (except PHLO1) are all seasonal; just take other philosophy majors who can't take summer classes in consideration. plus, i'm not a graduating student; which means, i am not a very special student that would make the university offer a subject just because i want to take that subject. so i really can't take a major subject this summer.

so that was it, i can't take GE and major subjects. why not try cognates or electives? so i looked at the list and tried my luck; and to my very LUCK, the cognates and electives that i have chosen are not offered this summer. i don't like the idea of changing my plan of study (again) and take any subject that's offered here in uplb this summer just for the sake of having a subject. so i am left with nothing except PE. and because i really want to take summer classes not only for being advanced in terms of units but also for just staying here in los baƱos (and work for the org), i enrolled in a PE course. and take note of the course, Philippine Games. "San ka pa, di ba?!?" whenever i'm in that class, i would tell myself, "kaya mo yan, ilang weeks na lang.." because it really seems that the objective of the course is to go back to our childhood years. but well then, it's fun... i really am having fun playing games that one would usually see being played on the streets.

so okay, i already have a subject. but i want to have a fruitful summer so i decided to apply for student assistantship. i went to su, got a form, filled up the form, submitted the form to the college sec for certification of my grades, went to different buildings to ask for a slot, etc. in short, i exerted effort. but to my very LUCK (again), -- i am telling you, i am very lucky this summer-- back to my story, to my very LUCK, when i already had a slot in cas college sec, i was told that i cannot apply for sa because i do not have an academic subject. OMG, so my effort was just for nothing. it really was an OMG (oh my god!) feeling and wow, diory, you're so lucky.

the "i"


i am not what i am and am what i am not. i am my own nothingness.
-- jean-paul sartre


i am a thinking thing. i think therefore i am.
-- rene descartes


i am the mean between everything and nothing.
-- blaise pascal


i am what i repeatedly do. -- aristotle



AN EYE FOR AN "i"

the "i"; the ninth letter of the modern English alphabet.
it is a one-letter word, contested in terms of its meaning.

it could be the "me"; that which explicates my identity.
but what is the "me"?
how can the "me" be reduced to an i?
or the "i" be reduced to a "me"?
is "i = me" logically true?
can the identity be contained in a one-letter word such as "i"?
or can the "i" contain the identity?
can "me" be the "i"?
can "i" be the "me"?

the "i"; grammatically spelled with a capital letter such as "I",
hereafter used with a small letter "i",
to explain the "me" -
a "me" who is not only a subject who looks at objects
but an object as being looked by other subjects.
