an essay that would drive people nutty.... (esp since it's one of our own..)

this is one email i got from one of my egroups. in the words of Fox News...
We report, You decide...

note: i removed the ps and pps... ang haba...

yeah i fucking hate it okay.
ateneo isnt a school, it's a religion.

i dont think it's a far stretch to reiterate the fact that i do not buy into religion.

my orsem experience was heinous. i cant talk even talk about it. and if i have ONE MORE UPPERCLASSMAN scream, "MOOOOB!!! MOOOB!!! FASTER ANO BA KAYO FASTER!!! MOOOOB!! (move, move, faster, what are you people, faster)" in my face, im going to scream. hello power trippers! i wonder if they really get to wield that much power on a daily basis. im guessing not.. and you cant run faster when ten people are standing/walking/running in front of you. hello logistics.

on the other hand, my tnt guy, nyoy, was great and he really tried to make things go smoothly. he was really nice. if i got a sucky tnt that probably wouldve made things completely unbearable. the head of my department was not bad e ither and i really dont mind studying there so much as dealing with the culture and everything it entails (WHICH IS UNAVOIDABLE BECAUSE I HAVE AN UNCREDITED CLASS FOR ATENEO CULTURE).

i dont know how im going to survive, but i know im going to max out my cuts and absences as much as humanly possible.

i ordered my application for st. mary's today. im going to write my essay over the weekend.

i broke out of this system once and i will do everything in my power to do it again.

i dont even have pictures because the refugee-camp-in-a-3rd-world-prison conditions of orsem (including the 3-hour running tour of the campus) were too depressing to take.

everyone tells a fairytale story about the jesuits but what about all the people they burned, tortured, and generally fucked over? i mean, hello conversations with hitler! they werent expelled from portugal, spain, france, russia (and other places that i cant remember anymore) for nothing. and not only did they burn, torture, and massacre but they've got some serious brainwashing...*ahem* THEOLOGY that goes on even today and is largely evident in the simple homily of the orsem mass which consisted shamefully of about ten permutations of these statements:

-you shouldnt feel like a big shot just because ateneo is the best and now you're one of the privileged few who are a part of it
-you shouldnt be mayabang just because ateneo is the best
-you should thank god that you were given this opportunity to study in the best school and receive the best education

uh yeah, whatever! didnt i read something about humility being one of the gifts or fruits of the holy spirit or some shit like that? the hypocrisy of it all!!!

(and im not sure whether it was one of the priests who said this or a different speaker, but he went on to mention how lucky the people who came out of zobel, lsgh, and other la salle schools are to have finally "seen the light" and gone the blue an d white way)

i never thought i'd miss ism so much. i never thought id want to see everyone from school so bad that i dont know who i'd kill to do it. you dont know what a relief it was everytime i saw kito and anisha. and of course, mika, who was by my side most of the time. it was even a relief to see kelvin (who seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself, much to kito's and my surprise). i just want to go back to highschool in ism i cant take it. it's like someone took away my security blanket. MY CASHMERE SECURITY BLANKET!

it works for other people, and it really might be the best place for other people. but it's impossible that this place is for everyone..and it just really isnt for me.

okay im probably just really pissed off about the jesuits. i bet if there wasnt so much jesuit brainwashing going on i'd complain a lot less. just about the heat or something superficial like that.
