Greetings my friends.
I started this day pretty well. Just this morning, a very good friend commented on my post. Unfortunately, that friend of mine posted his comment not on this blog website but on my Facebook account.
My friend commented candidly:
"punyeta ang dami mong angas sa mundo pag sole owner ka na ng SM cguro ayan mag angas ka"
I took some time savoring whatever candy the words from my friend has to offer. And eventually, the words "angas", "punyeta" and "SM" turned out to be really sweet ones.
"Angas"? Maybe. I think it has something to do with the way I write, I may need to polish it more. More incision, less angst. I will work on that.
"Punyeta"? Definitely! Well, the tone of my writing style may sound too proud, but it ends there. You see, my style may be cocky, but my purpose is definitely not. My purpose for starting this blog, in the first place, is to combat the "angas" of the academic elitists. Persecute Peter for the crowing of the cock, not for the thirty silver coins. If there's a crime that most of us undergraduates are guilty of, it is the crime of having low self-esteem, because sad to say most of us believed the society's sick standards stating that wise are those who got the college diploma, and dumb are those who do not. When it comes to "angas", it is not us undergraduates but the brats of the academic world who have shamelessly displayed the attitude of arrogance. Punyeta sila.
On this page, who is being "maangas"? Is it the college graduate as per post # 1226 and 1228, or the undergrad as per post # 1229?
On this page, is the member who replied as per post # 1252 being "maangas" by defending herself/himself? I do not think so.
Let me emphasize some important points in post # 1252:
"...You have to realize that learning is a continuous process..."
"...in today's age of information, ang isang masipag na undergraduate ay kayang kayang ilampaso ang isang graduate na hanggang angas lang, you know... those who believe that an undergraduate cannot manage college graduates. Nauuna kasi ang yabang..."
"...Nasa attitude yan, wala sa diploma..."
"...I just need money to get a college diploma... But for those who deify the college diploma above other more important things like honesty, integrity, and respect for people, I do not know if there's an amount of money big enough to purchase the open mind that they badly need..."
"... If college teaches nothing but conceit, if it only makes someone feel superior over undergraduates who are just mere victims of their own financial limitations, tama ka, better not finish college."
So there. Rest assured I will continue to educate myself further to be as humble as I should be.
And oh, I almost forgot...
Sole owner of SM? I don't know about that. But sounds good isn't it? Aheheheh, wishful thinking! But even if that happens, I don't think that gives me the license to be arrogant. Baka ma-kidnap for ransom pa ako, mahirap na. =D
