an imitation of one part of uplb campus
(yes, an imitation, in Plato's terms. but don't you think it's nice to look at this pic - at this imitation that which Plato calls third from the truth?...)
- i got this from franco's blog; rara's the one who captured this... well, one may really be blinded by familiarity. i tend to unnotice the beauty of uplb since i already am in it. you walk along the cpark without looking at it; without noticing its beauty that made the expats fascinated with it. i (surely) am gonna miss this place. have one more year left in this university and am not gonna waste a single second of this year doing nonsense.

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.
