Lourd de Veyra's graduation speech for UP MassComm Class of 2012

Nice speech. Eto lang ang gawa ko ngayon, magbasa ng speech.Sa totoo lang before entering college, sa Guidance mas mataas talaga ang grades ko sa arts kesa sa science. Eh sabi kasi walang pera sa arts, at syempre mas bigtime maging doctor. Ibang dating eh ako, eto ngayon Med. Tech. Pwede na, diyosa ng malaria at MDR TB, hahaha! Pero as usual frustrated writer. Note lang, minsan ang attack sa sinusulat ko eh dapat literal, true to life, paminsan minsan lang ang figurative. For female readers lang ata pwede, di ko pa maitranslate para magets ng male specie. Or isang tao lang ang commonly di maka gets. Or baka di rin pwede basahin ng mga tumatandang binata. Napaka discriminatory, LOL. Itong linya ni Lourd ang tumatak sa aking isipan..

“Wag seryosohin ang sarili. Pero teka, kelangang klarohin ko ito. Okay lang ang serious, huwag lang solemn. Walang bagay sa mundo ang hindi napapagaan ng pagkakaroon ng sense of humor.”

Basahin na lang ang speech nya para may matutunan. Acquired taste nga ang pakikinig sa satiric style nya. Lipat na ng channel.Go kapatid TV5 :-)

Pinoy Explorer and Batanes

Among my favorite TV shows nowadays on TV5 is Pinoy Explorer. Hosted by Aga Muhlach.They're website is Pinoy Explorer Club.

Last week was the first episode about Batanes. Batanes is located in the Northern Part of the Philippines. It's one of the places I want to visit. It's a home away from home. Living in it's simplest form. My youngest sister had searched on the cheapest tour going to Batanes, and this is one of the site that she found Batanes Travels and Tours.

I'll visit the place one of these days. We should live life to the fullest. Life is too short. Carpe Diem! Cest La Vie!

Enrile to alma mater: Proud to be UP Law, even as UP Law has not always been proud of me


Senator Juan Ponce Enrile is one among my favorite politicians here in the Philippines. A good public servant. I am looking forward to working in the government till the age of retirement.

Another idol public servant is my mother, presently the Acting Admin. Officer of Ospital ng Santa Cruz. Another story for her in these blog in the future. First thing first. Here's Senate President's JPE speech.

Just click on the link. http://www.interaksyon.com/article/30195/enrile-to-alma-mater-proud-to-be-up-law-even-as-up-law-has-not-always-been-proud-of-me


Happy reading!!!


"Certainly, the lessons that a lawyer must learn cannot be confined to the classroom.  In fact, it is in the courtrooms -- in the hard, rough and tumble life of law practice, exposure to varied and difficult legal and factual issues, and in the careful and arduous preparation for actual litigation that a lawyer’s skills and worth are developed, honed, tested ever so often, and sharpened."

"But the enduring values of critical thinking, intellectual freedom, academic excellence, social consciousness, persistence, doggedness, and perseverance, and, most of all, honor and integrity, can only take root under an academic environment that nurtures them.  Such is the environment that the University of the Philippines and the College of Law of this university provides."

"May you all carry these values with you as you leave this great institution and make your parents, your professors and the U.P. College of Law truly proud of you, and may you all summon the boldness to make a difference in your chosen profession."
