Of Unclean Mouths and a Future in Peril

therein is not my official email address. Enjoy reading as I did!!!

I
received funny comments about my last blog, but it made me happy since
now, because of a future ill-fated CFAD SC, my readership for one day
rose to about 200. A record high for my blog, but not just that; a
victory for the majority of CFD students who see the problem/s/ the way
I do.

Please pardon the comments, they were done in my wordpress
blog, and I decided not to post them because they posted obscene
contect (and these people used my name):

Ayan
po. Witness for yourselves. I completely know that decent Thomasian
student leaders with appropriate breeding and udnerstanding do not
respond this way. The student leaders of UST are prudent, even udner
critical opposition. Nakakatuwa basahin, it’s like reading the rantings
of a three-year old not given what he wants.

But, oh well, who
gets to shame now. I have entered this blog battle with nothing but the
truth about the issues and the complete incompetence of an SC my
college trusted. And it is sad to see them put themselves to nothing
but sheer shame (i decided not to edit them so that every reader
actually see how lewd their mouths are).

Remember, in the
world of the web, it’s not just the CFAD students watching; it’s the
world. These people don’t bring shame to me, but to the university that
they are proud of lambasting on a daily basis. I never said something
bad about the university; and the only thing I said about the CFAD SC
was the truth. The truth may have really hurt.

In my analysis,
the CFAD SC may be in a process wherein they try to win as much
audience as they can. Hindi na kasi bumebenta ang mga pakulo nila. They
have realized that judgment day is near and they are set to be judged
in a way they have never imagined. In my opinion, CFAD SC’s downfall
will be close, if they do not change.

And with the attitude they
flaunt now, tignan natin kung sino ang matutuwa sa kanila. It is time
to let the entire Thomasian community know that there are dirty mouths
who destroy themselves rather than destroy me.

I pray that their mouths be extinguished with Holy Water. hehehe.

The CFAD SC Strikes My Blogs Again.

Friday, October 12th, 2007

Medyo matagal na rin pala akong hindi
nagbo-vlog tungkol sa CFAD SC. Perhaps many of my readers wonder why.
First, because I have to focus on doing my final plates since finals
were on last week, second, because they have been doing nothing worthy
to blog about recently, and lastly, because any topic about them can be
considered “dead air” in the blogging world.

I thought that killing this issue silently and just let them work
and prove themselves would do, but after a comment that one of their
alagad’s sent disguised as a CFAD student, I think that issue is worthy
to be resurrected.

But first, let me put the foundations of what this blog will be about:

concerned Thomasian | slow@yahoo.com | IP: 222.127.223.69

you don’t know what you are talking about!!!!!
you are too shallow!

if you want to change places with them so badly then
just tell them directly, that is if they would even let a scum like you
talk to them..

don’t underestimate people if you don’t know what are they trying to do to build up their council…

—There it goes. A comment from a CFAD student. Perhaps this is
something rather questionable because the CFAD community definitely
knows that I am not alone in this plight.

Ok. Now, unlike the other rather obscene comments sent by concerned
CFAD students who are in nature not obscene, I decided to post this
one. Why? So that the entire world may see that I post comments of my
detractors and that the CFAD SC is really worth kicking out because of
these comments.

Which leads me to contemplation on how an incumbent officer must
handle criticism from their constituents. Imagine if the CFAD SC and
their illegitimate asungots were leaders of our country, then all of us
would be dead by now. Because that is how they politically operate,
they are AUTHORITARIANS. They do not want anything against them to
prevail, and would censor to the dot whatever there is to protect their
illegitimate integrity.

Of course I did not take their comments personally because they are
not true. There is nothing shallow about the concern of the CFAD
student constituents that I addressed and they should be working on.
The issue on the water, their non-appearance, the existence of their
illegitimate asungots are problems of so many years that have been
addressed now. And those are problems deeply rooted in the system
addressed now. And they took a direct hit of its redress.

At least now I know why they are not working, because if you look at
the posting date and the date of their reply, it seems to me that all
this time, they were doing nothing but think of a reply to my posts.
How funny can these people get!

In the end, I espouse my position; same position as before; that
they should resign on the grounds that their capability to ascend to
the entire college has been lost all through this entire controversy
and that their impulse all through this occurrence was unbecoming of a
student leader. They would be more appreciated and more respected if
they bow down to the true want of their constituents; admission of
guilt and resignation.

HOTDOG AND EGGS

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007
I
am not a seasoned student leader, but I have been given some
opportunities to become one. Back at high school, I was SC president.
In college, I was head of publications and media affairs of the Central
Student Council (AY 2005-2006). I was chairperson of the committees on
Rules and Policies and Constitutional Amendments of the Union of
Catholic Student Councils (UCSC) (AY 2005-2006). Currently, I am editor
in chief of HIRAYA Magazine in CFAD. I don’t know if they are
sufficient to coin me as seasoned, but I have experienced leadership at
both its best and its worst.

At
this point, I am 20 years old, far from my teenage years and far from
the aggression that my body once had. I am at an age where I begin to
think of so many things, and take responsibility at a different
perspective; from the endpoint of a big brother liking the best for his
siblings.

At
this point as well, I begin to reflect what a student leader should
really have. And after years of exposure and moments of thinking, I
realized that a student leader only needs two things: HOTDOG and EGGS.
I can’t even believe that I will find the answer in my favorite
breakfast meal.More…

I am not trying to be green here. ::laughs::

A
student leader needs that HOTDOG to steer their constituency to a new
and progressive direction. The hotdog stands for a pole that will lead
the way. This also stands for the strong ascendancy provided by
pleasured constituents. And I strongly believe that this is relevant.
If you are a leader, you must have the support of your followers to
govern them; you must also have their support and their trust for you
to lead them to where they think you should bring them. Where to bring
them is all up to you.

The
hotdog cannot be soft; soft enough to not have the moral and political
mandate to govern. Nor should the hotdog be stiff; stiff enough to stir
a revolution. It must be cooked just right; with enough room to change
phases at every situation’s call.

The
hotdog must also be firm; firm to resolve any concern and to stand for
what it believes in. It should compromise only when necessary and
retaliate when it calls for it.

But
with hotdog comes another need; EGGS. A student leader must have the
EGGS to make things happen. It must have the strength, and the will to
make his constituent’s dreams a reality. He must have the EGGS to
ensure that he shall stand through his commitments no matter what.

The
eggs can’t be raw though, for raw eggs are immature and are inedible.
Raw eggs cannot have the mature will to decide and pursue. But it
cannot be burned as well, for it may issue weak and wacked judgment. It
must be cooked just right. It does not matter if it shall be sunny side
up, scrambled, or boiled. It just has to be cooked just right.

Hotdog
and eggs are the best breakfast combination. And the same goes with
leadership, one cannot go and cannot be delicious without the other.
Hotdog without eggs may sound delicious, but a leader with vision
without action is not an effective leader. Just the same, eggs without
hotdog represents a leader with much action but no direction. His
efforts are put to waste.

So,
in choosing our leaders, we must ask them, "do you have HOTDOG and
EGGS?" It may sound funny, but inform them tht you mean it seriously.
For without either, a leader is incomplete. Without both, a leader is
not a leader.

To student leaders now, DO WE HAVE HOTDOG AND EGGS?

"Leadership is not an ability or a skill, it is a spirit. A spirit that transforms a person from common to astonishing."

in his inaugural speech, July 2003
