Comments on: Still Breathing http://ynasanpedro.com/blog/2006/09/29/still-breathing/ The piece, when it is over, is not what is made, but how it is made.

At least you're being treated like a queen. Kelan ko kaya mararanasan yun? :p I don't really watch UAAP. Wala akong "school spirit," as they say. Pero infectious ang fighting spirit ng mga taga-UST, or dahil lang ba mas marami akong kilala sa USTE kesa sa ADMU? :p Anyways, I hope your school wins. About the egg-pelting incident. Hmm. I don't view it as <em>pambabastos</em>, not really. And as one of those people who've been tagged as Communists, it doesn't really matter if they call us that, and more. I wasn't able to watch Debate last night (darn power outage), but I'm sure Chairman Pao has mentioned that we have "proper decorum" to throw at least <em>only</em> eggs at EGGsperon. Childish, everything we do is childish. Answering Raul Gonzales' stupid statement by running around naked is childish. But the important thing for us is that we make our voices heard. Yes, there are proper venues to discuss differences, but then people at the government always snub the senate and court hearings, what more pa na kaming mga estudyante lang? When worse comes to worst, dinadala namin ang laban sa labas. Bilang aktibista, naiintindihan ko rin ang side ng mga nababawan sa mga ginawa namin. Heck, even I don't really see it as a <em>proper</em> thing to do, proper in the sense na mami-meet niya ang standard ng society. It's ironic that some people always bad-mouth what happened dahil well-publicized siya, pero pagdating sa mga bagay na dapat may sinasabi rin sila, nananahimik lang din sila. Ang pagkawala rin naman ng mga estudyante naming sina Karen Empeño at Sherlyn Cadapan ay nakakabit ang reputasyon ng UP, pero walang nagsasalita. Dahil lang involved ang mga taga-UP sa isang socially deviant act, kailangang punahin. Isa pa, katangahan (sorry for the word) ang mag-generalize, na imbes may isang grupo lang ng mga estudyante ang may ginawang kalokohan ay kailangang <strong>lahat</strong> na ay damay. See, it's all these society-based na kaisipan. Everything's socially constructed. We didn't invite Esperon. UP APSM did. Just because one organization felt the urge to invite someone it knows wasn't really fond of the students doesn't mean the guest would be welcomed by <strong>all</strong> of us with open arms. At least we let Esperon attend the forum clean. Malas nga lang po niya't hindi siya nakaalis ng malinis din. ^_^ Hah, great. At least you’re being treated like a queen. Kelan ko kaya mararanasan yun? :p
