Even though I finished a degree in Philosophy in my Bachelor's, I'll still pursue it in the Graduate school and beyond because of love. I know, it's a corny reason, but love makes you corny, and loving wisdom makes me corny, so sue me.

Anywho, as the days pass and I grow older in this discipline, I realize the extent of my own stupidity. And realizing how big are these gaps, my appetite for knowledge is whetted all the more.

You see, the battle against ignorance and suffering is a life-long battle, and our only consolation, aside of course having the good life, is an ice-cold beer by the end of every week. Cheers.

Since Wikipedia wouldn't simply do.

Iran Worried U.S. Might Be Building 8,500th Nuclear Weapon
TEHRAN—Amidst mounting geopolitical tensions, Iranian officials said Wednesday they were increasingly concerned about the United States of America’s uranium-enrichment program, fearing the Western nation may soon be capable of producing its 8,500th nuclear weapon. “Our intelligence estimates indicate that, if it is allowed to progress with its aggressive nuclear program, the United States may soon possess its 8,500th atomic weapon capable of reaching Iran,” said Iranian foreign minister Ali Akbar Salehi, adding that Americans have the fuel, the facilities, and “everything they need” to manufacture even more weapons-grade fissile material. “Obviously, the prospect of this happening is very distressing to Iran and all countries like Iran. After all, the United States is a volatile nation that’s proven it needs little provocation to attack anyone anywhere in the world whom it perceives to be a threat.” Iranian intelligence experts also warned of the very real, and very frightening, possibility of the U.S. providing weapons and resources to a rogue third-party state such as Israel

This (Corona’s earning a Summa Cum Laude for his PhD in UST) is not to say that UST stands alone in the chronicle of universities’ tale of ignominy . UP itself once granted doctoral degrees honoris causa to Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceaucescu and Imelda Marcos herself. Ateneo likewise was on the defensive when its own President of Board of Trustees read a speech plagiarized from Oprah for its sesquicentennial commencement exercises. The only name that has remained immaculate to date as far as academics is concerned is that of La Salle, thanks to its steadfast and unyielding adherence to the tradition which has made it an exemplar of excellence in the field of collegiate basketball.

The desire to get married is a basic and primal instinct in women. It’s followed by another basic and primal instinct: the desire to be single again.

Seeing a No Grade status just reminded me I need to start working my publishable-quality paper on Post-Colonial Identity and Ricoeur. Dean Leo would be furious if I do a shitty work despite this gracious extension way way beyond the date of encoding, lol.
Anyhow, I’m done with my PAP mid-year conference paper, woohoo. See you in San Carlos Seminary this Oct. 22!
