The Junior Year Begins

Hay, nagsimula na ang first term ko!!!! May good news at bad news... Ang bad news, pina-drop sa'kin ng dean ko ung ENGLISH2 (Academic Paper Writing) ko kasi sa College of Business and Economic (CBE) ako nag-enroll eh bawal pala. Pwede daw ung ibang subjects sa CBE except yung ENGLISH2. Tapus naubusan naman ako sa College ko kaya sa Philippine History na lang yung inenroll ko.. Nagkaroon tuloy ako ng klase ng 7am them 2:30pm ang sunod. Good News naman, naging prof ko ulit sa Filipino2 ung prof ko nung Filipino1 na mataas magbigay ng grade. 3.5 ung pinakamababa niya!!! hahaha... Then sa Philosophy of Religion, naging prof ko naman ung teacher ko sa Introduction to Philosophy (INTPHIL)... Though mahilig mambasak yun and pinakaterror sa Philosophy department, I still like her because madami akong natututunan sa kanya. 2.5 lang ako sa INTPHIL niya. hehehehe.... Ang saya palang pagsabayin ng Philosophy of Religion (PHILORL) at Church and Sacraments (RELSTWO) !!!! nakakakasira ng ulo... hehehe

Sched ko nga pala this term...

Philosophy of the Person and LPEP

Hay, sinuswerte na yata ako ngayung summer term. The results of my three exams on my PHILPHER are 91/100, 101/110, 50/50, 25/20; and the total is 267. I just need 13 points to past the course. Nag-report kami kanina about Historisity but the score was not yet given but that reporting has a perfect score of 80. Imposible namang hindi pa ako makakuha ng 13 points dun. But wait, hindi pala pwede ang passing grade lang, kailangan ko pang magkaroon ng total score na 320 na equivalent sa 2.0 para hindi ako matangal sa D.L. Sabihin na nating makakuha ako 50/80 sa reporting. sa 317 na score ko then 3 points na lang ang kulang. Tapus may isusubmit pa akong paper sa friday na equivalent sa finals. Siguro naman kaya kong kumuha dun ng higher than 3 points or mga 20 points man lang kung masmababa sa 50 ang report ko. So that means, hindi ko kailangan masydong seryosohin yung paper if that's the case.
Ano nga pala ang pinag-aaralan sa Philosophy of the person? Some of the topics are Subjectivity of the Self, Behaviorism, Existentialism, Love amd Relationships, Death, Historicity, Life and other things related to the person. Most of the text books used are from Ateneo because my professor is a graduate of that school. Kaya if you're in ADMU, may possibility rin na ma-encounter niyo ang mga topics na iyun especially if you are in the College/ School of Humanities.
About naman sa LPEP, alam na iyon ng mga freshmen na papasok dito... hehehe.. Sa mga hindi nakakaalam, it's the Lasallian Personal Enrichment Program (Freshmen Orientation). It's a busy week for LSPO kasi 10 days kaming mag-oorganize ng mga Mass and prayers. Nag-start na siya noong Monday at nauna iyung CCS (College of Computer Studies). Hay nakakaaasar sila kasi hindi sila nagpaparticipate... hehehe. Pero kanina, it's the turn of CBE (College of Bussiness and Economics). OK naman sila, madaming nagparticipate. We are expecting more on the COE (College of Engineering) and CLA (College of Liberal Arts). Tapus baka kagaya lang din ng CSS ang CED (College of Education) at COS (College of Science) kasi konti lang din ang population nila.
Masaya namang kasama ang mga ka-LSPO ko and we are looking forward on our outing on May 18-20 in Tanauan. Nakakaasar, bakit sa Batangas pa!!! hehehe..

Outing and LSPO

Last Sunday and Monday, I had an outing with my family and my classmates in BM41 respectively. The outing was great and fun inspite of my busy schedule this summer...
This are some of the pictures of BM 41's outing last monday...






Lumabas na ang resulta ng first long exam ko sa Philosophy of the Person. Though medyo nakakalito ang sabjek na ito, nakakuha pa din ako ng 91 out of 100.. Ok na rin yung score na iyun kasi marami ding bumagsak and 75 ang passing.

Other thing that makes me busy is the Lasallian Pastoral Office (LSPO). It is the counterpart of the campus ministry sa DLSL. I'm a member of that org and we are practicing on our performance sa orientation ng mga frosh... Kaya Arik and Trixie, mapapanood niyo ako sa stage!!! hehehe... Avis, sayang naman, hindi ako mapapanonood.. hahaha.. And another thing, libre lagi ang food if you are in that org and may outing pa kami before the first term starts and sagot lahat ng school. hehehe. Marami na akong nagin friends doon including Don..

Hay, hanggang dito na lang muna..

Ahm wait, about na new layout, yan ang mga games na lagi kong nilalaro sa laptop ko.. Pokenmon and NBA live.. hehehe... wala lang.. hahaha

Is there such a thing a “self”?

Offhandedly, I know that I am the same person because I remember being that person who did this and that yesterday. I can also ask others about regarding yesterday. They will surely remember me having done this and that even if they can’t remember everything that I did yesterday. I must also remember them having known me before today, for me to trust their memory about me.

I mentioned ‘remembering’ as a way of identifying myself of today with myself yesterday. I don’t have to remember everything I did yesterday to know that the person that I was yesterday is essentially the same person today. I need only to remember some things about me. Memory, then, is important for me to be able to identify myself in tomes and places. Complete loss of memory will completely wipe out any notion of self-identity.

I may want to look at the photos of myself when I was a child. But I must remember being that person in the photos despite the obvious changes between the times I was child and today. That child in the photos and I share the same memories. That, I remember. And because I remember that, I know that the child in the photos and I are one and the same person.

I also remember having this body of mine, and also remember that this body is the same as the one yesterday. I obviously have a body. But without memory, I would not be able to recognize it is a mine. It seems that everything that I know about self-identity relies solely on my memory.

Can I distinguish myself from the contents of my memory?
I am able to distinguish myself from the contents of my memory, then, logically speaking, I am not a content of memory, but I am the entity that has a memory.
Is this possible?
Can I know myself apart from my memory, apart from memories of my self I have?
If this is possible, then what am I without turning myself into a content of memory?

Summer class

Start na ng summer class ko. Then, nalaman ko na kasali pala ang summer sa pagkompyut ng GPA ng 3rd term. Nakakaaasar!!! Terror ang prof namin ni Glenna sa Speech!!! Si Shimamoto!!! Since Dean's Lister kami, nagdrop na lang kami sa sabjek na yun baka bigyan pa kami grade na 1.5 and worse matanggal kami sa DL. So, Philosophy of the Person na lang ang sabjek ko ngayon. OK naman ang profesor ko doon.

I know that summer is time for rest and others, outing and party. But for me, rest is a waste of time and sobrang nakakainip. Yes, may mga outing at parties na naghihintay sa akin pero hindi buong summer ay outing at party lang. Siguro mga 3-5 days lang iyun. Kaya yun... hehehe
