"Men and women are made for each other but they differ in the measure of their dependence of each other."-Jean Jacques Rosseau
Last night as I was 'forcing' myself to read my handout in philo, my eyes were able to pass by this quote which never took an effect on me at first. not until I decided to read that paragraph over again cause the words seemed like worms.. as I was looking at them they are like crawling and wiggling.hihihi.. maybe that was the effect of being so tired..
men and women according to the reading are equally composed of different faculties made especially for them so that they could adapt to the taska assigned to each of them by the society.. men according to the handout are to be SERVED and PLEASED by the women.. whereas women are born TO SERVE and TO PLEASE men who are believed to have more authority than us!
I was actually satisfied upon reading that quote cause I think that's the only part of the reading that i could accept. But then i thought wring that was only a too good to be true intro for more DEROGATORY premises of Rosseau. He followed that statement with the argument that women are more dependent on men due to our passivity.. duh?! i beg to differ on this claim of his!
Women are equally skilled, sentient, aggressive and intellectual as men! its not that we are to serve them,, if that's true how come somone was able to deduce the quote "behind tha success of a man is a woman.." men can't survive without us.. not the other way around! men are more dependent among us women no matter how hard they try to deny it..
grr.. sorry for reacting violently regarding the quote.. I just hate it when women are being looked down by men.. especially being considered as inferior.. nonetheless.. he wrote that a lot of centuries way back.. if he'd probably be in our society today.. Im so sure he'd retract those arguments he previously gave!:)
not to mention that he's a man, his bias was contained in his statements!
everything in this world has their own limitations..
this was Sir agui's point regarding the asar talo values of the Filipinos.
one must know when to stop and when its really going below the belt. I guess this has been the trait imbued to each one of us.. we tend to tease a lot.. not being sentient enough that the people we're teasing find it abboying but ws just being waiting for his turn to prudently tell it to us that what we're doing is not funny anymore!
but what if you're the type of person who just waits for the person to realize that you're not liking what he was doing anymore? well Im that kind.. I dont want to do all the talking.. I dont want to tell each time to a person what I feel.. often times I wanted them to feel it.. when Im annoyed, happy, scared, helpless, tired and the likes.
I think it would be much better so that the people around you wont feel that you're being a dogma in imposing to them that they have to act in accordance to the way you want them to act.. somehow I think it also helps them improve their ability to be sensitive of other peoples's emotions through their words, acts, and thoughts. if you may ask what do I usually do when Im in state of not feeling good towards an act? I just keep quiet about it.. :) I think that's the best way to signal them that there's something wrong.. and just like the famous quote..
"talk only if you can improve on the silence.." this is what serves as my foundation for choosing to remain silent,, so as not to raise fights and misunderstandings.. :)
in our class
in our philo class we discussed about thomas hobbes writing, last night as I was reading it I counldn;t understand any part of it,, good thing sir baccay was good in explaining the readings.. cause if not of him we might not be able to understand any of the readings on his handout cause we wont be able to reach their level of thinking.
its just now that I realized that Sir baccay was a good prof after all. he's vocabulary was great,, his clarity in discussing the reading is worth commending,, and the fact that he's now a changed prof by insighting humor while having lectures! good job sir!:)
theo class, im a bit late togther with madie, arene and dez cause i drgged them to buy some breakfast at bk!ahihihihi! good thing sir agui was still on the instructions of the quiz when we arrived!whew! i dont wanna held culpable by being late!
after the quiz the reporting of the values continued,, the topics were,, bahala na, asar talo and utang na loob.
Sir Olivar wasn't that late when he came for our Bio class,, he checked the attendance and then proceeded tp the repoting of the digestive system,, finally they were able to present..ehehe!after their report of course there are some questiona dn abswer thingy by sir,, and then they are preceeded by the intro to respiratory system. there we watched a clip on how the respiratry system carries out its functions..
arene and I approached him to ask whether we would be able to report due to time constraints..but he said we should be prepared perhaps two to three meeting from now..!hmmf.. I thought we won't be able to report.. cause I really dont want to!eheheh! but I have this funny feeling we won't be able to present but instead we would only pass our presentation to him!im gonna keep my fingers crossed about it!:)
english class,, mam rodriguez was really nice to us!:) she considered our proposal of having partners so that we can execute a dialogue instead of a monologue!yippee!!:) upon saying that arene grabbed me by the hand immediately while saying that we''s be partners!heheeh!
mam also approved my script of sense and senisibility!yippeee again!:) arene and I were able to agree that we'd watch the movie of her script and my script so that we can choose which would have a much equal exchange of dialogues so as to be fair with each other!:) cause Mam said we can have dialogues but we should make sure that both of us would have at least the same length of lines so as not to be unfair! because we would be graded individually!:)
now because of the new rules,, Im kinda excited about that dialogue!heheeh!:)
Excz
I went home super late yesterday cause we surfed the net for hours at the lib.. I was with madie and dez,, and you wont believe my humiliating experience.. when im about to board off the elevator..the heel of my stilleto got stuck between the gap of the elevator and the cement floor.. I was so humiliated cause I was stuck there for about 30 seconds.. i cant remove my heel.. hahahaha! and not to mention that I really created a FUNNY scene cause there are lots of civil law studnets who were about to board the elevator while that happened.. I was the center of attention that moment and they really laughed at me!hahaha! madie and dez too were laughing.. instead of feeling embarrased I too laugghed at my own stupidity! ehehe! im getting used to those kinds of humiliating encounters since Ive had lots of them because of this schools shoes of mine!eheheh
earlier this morning was another encounter.. when im about to ride off the jeep from the lrt.. I was trying my best to have poise while doing so.. and you won't belive it.. my heel! err.. not again! got stuck on the seam of my skirt.. and so I was hopping on my right foot when i got off the jeep.. hhahahah! how's that to start tha day right?! I was kinda embarrased but not that much by telling to myself..
"its ok em,, they dont know you! you saw your crush and that experience won't be any hindrance on your beautiful start of the day!"eheeh! how was that as my own words of encouragement!ahahahah!
* embarassed mode*
