Well, for the simple fact that yesterday, I got in touch with well, three of my other passions besides psych and politics: the sea, writing, and Filipino culture.
I went with my class to the Manila Oceanarium (see the photo albums of Jade and Nana). I can safely say it's worth the time and money spent for these reasons:
- we got to see an amazing variety of fish that we hardly ever see
-we got to sit in an underwater tunnel and be surrounded by marine creatures
-we got to sit in the fish spa. Goodbye calluses on my feet!
-we got to feed the rays. By hand.
When I got back to DLSU, I went to encode my group's INTSOCI stuff. When I opened my email, I found a letter from the Carlos Palanca awards, asking if they could feature one of my previous essays on the foundation's site. Needless to say, I said yes.
Then I went with my dad all the way to UP to catch "Orosman at Zafira", a work by Balagtas. Now after being traumatized by "Florante at Laura" as a high school girl, it is only to be expected that I'd at least raise an eyebrow about watching Balagtas.
Can I just say though that once again, I am awed. I swear, that piece should at least be mentioned or given some classroom time in high school.
