Uh, It's Jayvee.

Kasi sa first period nasa isip pa kita.
Sa second period, nasa puso na.

Pwede naman kasing isang pindutan lang. Maki-clear din naman ang screen pero trip na trip talaga naming pindutin ang AC button while nag-iisip ng susunod na kukumpyutin. xp

Simply because I’m in the inside joke mood, and because this is true for my calculator habits.

Madaming klaseng BS Accountancy students, may mga masisipag, tamad, umaasa sa himala, sa dasal, mga SILENT But Deadly at marami pa..

Share ko lang yung  iba’t ibang klase ng BSA students na naencounter ko.

1. Una sa lahat yung mga MASISIPAG. Sa school man o sa bahay, palaging nag-aaral ng lessons nila, kaya pagdating ng exams, quizzes, recitations at group works, palagi siyang ready. Di na ako magtataka sa pagpasa niya sa Board Exam kung estudyante pa lang, kilay niya, sunog na sunog na.

2. Mga umaasa sa PRACTICAL ACCOUNTING Books. Eto yung mga BSA students na kapag may hindi maintindihan sa textbooks, o kaya kapag hindi na nila kayang sagutan yung nasa textbooks, ang huling pag-asa na lang nila ay yung PRACTICAL ACCOUNTING books. May ready-made explanations, solutions at answers kasi dito.

3. Yung mga BSA students na nageexcel sa Minor Subjects. Filipino, uno; Math, 1.25; Rizal, Uno; Marketing, Uno; Computer subjects, Uno; Accounting subjects, 2.5. Anyare?

4. Mga BSA students din na nageexcel sa Accounting subjects kesa sa Minor Subjects. Eto namana yung mga estudyanteng ginawa ng habit ang magsolve ng accounting problems, Kapag Vacant, Solve. Bago maguwian, solve kahit sa bahay, solve pa din ng problems. Kaya ayun, napapabayaan na ang Minor subjects. 

5. Mga BSA students na magagaling pa kesa sa professors. Eto yung bihira pero naencounter ko na sila. Sila yung mga BSA students na nakikipag argue sa mga professors kung bakit ganun yung sagot eh samantalang di ganun yung sagot nila. Eto yung mga babad sa principles ng Accounting kaya ayun di nagpapatalo.

6. Mga magagaling sa memorization. sila yung magagaling sa theories. Identification, Enumeration at Recitations. Pero kahit anong galing nila sa magmemorize, nadadale naman sila pagdating sa problems.

7. Resourceful BSA students. Sila naman yung mga estudyanteng hindi lang sa textbook nila nagbabasa at humahanap ng pwedeng i-solve na accounting problems. Minsan nagpupunta sa PRACTICAL Accounting books para doon magsolve. May iba din na sa test banks, past exams/quizzes at handouts na binigay ng professor sila nagbabasa.

8. SILENT BUT DEADLY. Eto yung pinagtataka ko sa ibang BSA students, mga estudyanteng hindi niya ipapakita sayo na nag-aaral siya sa school, never niya din ipapakita sayo na nahihirapan siya sa mga lessons. Malalaman mo na lang ang kagalingan ng estudyanteng ito kapag naglabas na ng results ang professors. Bihira lang din yung mga ganito.

9. Student Professor - Eto naman yung mga BSA students na kapag may hindi maintindihan yung blockmates niya, to the rescue siya para tumulong sa kanila. Tinuturuan niya yung mga classmates niya ng techniques kung paano madaling makukuha o kaya tinutulungan niya yung mga classmates niya nang sa ganon maka-cope up din yung mga classmates niya sa lessons. Masyadong mabait yung mga estudyantent ito.

10. Dinadaan sa dasal -  Sila naman yung mga BSA students na dasal na lang ang ginagawa para magkaroon ng himala sa mga grades nila. Siyempre sinasabayan din yang ng Hardwork at Patience. Wag lang din puro dasal :))

Marami pa sigurong klase ng BSA students, yung iba siguro di ko pa naeencounter. Pero kahit anong klaseng Accountancy student ka pa, Sa huli, pare-parehas at pantay-pantay lang tayo. Lahat tayo makakaranas ng Saya, lungkot hirap at siyempre STRESS. :))

I don’t know where I fall under, but this was certainly interesting to read. I’m sure my friends will get a knock out of this too. Inside jokes seem to be the best instances for review.

Perhaps the most fascinating thing about the whole discussion about the Cybercrime Prevention Act was the mass hysteria that was the atmosphere and the general sentiment when the bill was signed and when it took effect, and the reaction and the inactivity in the discourse arena now, about a week later.

The mass of people who took the trouble of announcing protest so vehemently by turning their profile pictures black and spreading, at best, exaggerated messages warning about the possible effects (by that I mean: “Facebook will end tomorrow”, or “You won’t be able to like or share somebody’s post”) are nowhere to be found, now that the Supreme Court has issued a temporary restraining order against the Cybercrime Law. It seems like the discussion and the furor that defined those days were only a giant wave everybody had to ride on.

The people who engaged in sharp, intelligent discussion are still there, still opening up possible avenues for growth, but now clearly distinguishable from those who feared what others had to fear for them.

I just find this scenario quite similar to the RH bill debate that has been going on for quite a while now. People are reduced to “pro” or “anti” without having clear reflection about what they truly stand for and without ever really trying to read the contents of what they’re talking about.

A probable root might be in our  mechanical education system, one that focuses on memory and recitation rather than comprehension, inference and judgment. We’re taught even at a young age that thinkers usually end up dead. But alas, that is what the majority of present discussions has been: dead.

The past semester marked what seemed like hell for me and my classmates. Piles upon piles of work were on our tables every single day—and that’s without accounting for our Accounting subject, which already made our lives stressful as it was.

But it’s hardly over, even now that the semestral break has started. Half of our book still has to be read and discussed on top of another book that we’ll be using in the middle of the upcoming semester.

It is over—or so I thought.

HAVING claimed Phil-Mexican-American as one of its very own, this country now basks in the bright glow of Jessica Sanchez’s success as runner-up on “American Idol.” She’s the latest in a string of world class Phil-Am or Phil-Brit, etc. artists and athletes that our political leaders claim as proudly Filipino.

To the extent that a person is for the most part a social construct, this is a false claim. While Filipino blood certainly runs in their veins, Jessica and the others really soared to glory on the wings of a totally different social milieu. The remarkable development of their talents is the product or construct of a foreign culture that promotes originality, creativity and high standards of excellence. The Filipino culture that is often just content with mediocrity (“puede na”) had very little to do with it.

The same holds true for internationally acclaimed pure-bloods like Manny Pacquiao and Charice Pempenco. At first blush they would seem to be local constructs. But on closer look they are not and government officials’ claim to any part of their success becomes pretentious. Manny and Charice rose to fame and glory not because of, but in spite of, a local culture of mediocrity abetted by official incompetence and corruption.

Tell me what is the common complaint of our athletes in national and international sports events? Is it not lack of budget for equipment, food and training for a creditable competition? Thus, not government personalities responsible for entertainment and sports but a foreign individual (from a different culture) recognized and developed Charice’s talent. Thus, neither had any government sports program produced a champion like Manny Pacquiao who had to gut it all out on his own.

Don’t get me wrong though. These achievers are true heroes. In the case of those who, like Jessica, were raised in a different culture the nation can be truly proud of the Filipino blood running in their veins. In the case of locals like Manny and Charice, the Filipino people can even be prouder that they have it in them to rise above our culture of mediocrity.

But precisely because a different culture produced their success or they pulled themselves up by their own shoestrings when a culture of mediocrity and an inept government conspired for stagnation, their success should be as much an indictment of our negligent officials as it is an inspiration to other Filipinos who have dreams to pursue.

Our leaders’ claim to a part in the triumph of successful Filipinos is a false claim because, sa binisaya pa, igo ra silang mangangkon ug na-a na. They do nothing but ride on the success of remarkable Filipinos often for, presumably, selfish political reasons.
