yah.. the fact that you have a more complicated proposition and have done a much better job in affirming your proposed change.. Even Rey was shocked na di kayo ang third placer.

--these words are from the founder of our organization, the Best Interpolator of the '09 Grand Debate of our university (that's Kua Roy..wee :) ) I was so happy. Imagine, this is the first time that I joined a debate outside our college de[partment (i partcipated in hs debates but we battled with other sections). The experience was really fulfilling and even addicting.. haha I wanted to share the learnings of my day.



-----

The affirmative team
It is the team's job to lay out the parameters of the debate. The team promotes change (according to the proposition) and the burden of proof is theirs.

The Negative Team
Their job is to defend the status quo.

During the Elimination Round (I am a member of the College of Business and Acoountancy team) we won over the College of Information and Technology with the proposition Resolved that the Reproductive Health Bill be passed. I was the third speaker, rebuttalist.



Here is my rebbutal speech..


The power to choose comes from complete information. And giving complete information comes with a system. therefore the Reproductive Health Bill should be passed.


Is the bill unconstitutional?
No. The Philippines is a democratic and republican state, the people having a freedom of choice. and how do we accomplish our full freedom when we are ignorant of some of the most essential information with regards to our health and the responsibilities that comes with it? With a system of health and sex education and all the trainings and services that come with it.

Is the bill immoral?
No. What is immoral in the betterment of our education? What is immoral in being sexually educated. What is wrong in being ready, and being wise and responsible while we are young, which would prepare us to be better parents of our society?

Is the bill necessary?
Definitely. With this and the compete support of the other sectors of our country, what could be wrong?


Should the RH Bill pe passed? You heard us.

there are just some things that keeps getting better and better. and whatever struggles i have in life, there would always be reasons to make me happy, and one of those is my dreaming partner..
honestly, i am planning to do something special for this day. but i did not pursue these plans., i just texted him that morning, and he did not even reacted to that message.. that bastard! haha ( joking., i love my bro.. hahaha )

bee’s graduating.. i hope we could maximize the remaining weeks that he’ll be staying at school..



i miss him and our bunsoy.,



i’m always praying for my special friends to be always happy.. as happy as the happiness they bring to my life.. i’m blest!

i think i know what my HS classmate went through before she became insane..


what is the meaning of “emotionally disturbed”? hmm. i think i’m going to the early stage of undeveloped insanity. i’m staring to fear facing things that are outside my comfort zone. Theatre Guild is my comfort zone, school is my danger zone.

what do i fear about going to my consta class? (and my mafin and manac class)

because i have a lot of absences.
because i did not take my prelim exams.
because i can’t face the class.
because i’m afraid i’m going to fail AGAIN due to my absences and neglect.



no one can help me now, no one. they can’t force me or even inspire me. i’m so afraid. i’m lost. still lost. after months and months of thinking over what i have done and lots of talks from people around me. i’m starting to give up one of the things i wanted the most.

I am currently in an abyss of hopelessness, at one part of my life — my studies. I prayed for power to turnover my life, so I could make a major change, yet I am as cold as ice, coward as mice (dead rhymes. whew)

why can’t I finally conquer this senseless fear. i’m heading straightly for the ashes. ashes of my dreams. i hate myself for this.




i’m a living dead at my classes.
(deep sigh) T.T
