What I think about the CFAwards

Many of batch 2010 know about the new blog that was put up a few days ago. It goes under the title "The Class Funds Awards." Basically what happened was a group of incredibly bored, insensitive guys conducted a survey on who the most beautiful girls in the batch were. So, they go around asking 50 "random" boys (from Sodium and the back lobby) to tell them who they think are the most beautiful girls in the batch, by rating each girl 1-5.

Now I've heard a lot of discussions about the site and I've heard a lot of opinions about it. All of the girls I know either completely HATE the site or don't like it at all, most guys dont give a damn, and others, myself included, are utterly disgusted.

Why, you ask?

As a wise someone once said: "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." I find this saying competely true. Beauty is a relative thing. It's not just how attractive a girl LOOKS, it's everything about the girl, from her personality, to the way she thinks. It's NOT something that can be rated objectively, because everyone sees everyone else differently from the next person.

And besides, when a person begins to rate another person by their looks, or anyting about them for that matter, it doesn't prove how much you like the person: it proves how much you DON'T CARE about the person. Because once you give someone a rating, you show that you don't treat them as a human being, but as something lower, something 2D: without enough depth that you can actually order them objectively just by getting 50 "random" guys and asking them them to rate every girl in the batch in terms of physical appearance.

I don't know what those guys wanted to accomplish anyway. I mean, HELLO?!?!? What are you guys trying to prove? That your crush is better than the next person's?!?! As far as I can tell, the only thing you were able to do was broadcast the FULL names of the "20 most beautiful and attractive girls in Pisay" to the entire WORLD, including, might I add, every single psycho on the internet who decides to search "Beautiful girls" on google.

And those guys actually have the nerve to tell people that "This survey may not tell the truth. So don't take it srsly" WHAT THE HELL, GUYS?!?! IF YOU DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO TAKE THE F*CKING THING SERIOUSLY, AND YOU KNOW THAT IT'S INACCURATE, WHY POST IT ON THE INTERNET IN THE FIRST PLACE?!?!?!?! HECK, WHY EVEN CONDUCT THE SURVEY AT ALL?!?!?!?

Moving on, it's bad enough to rank people like that, but what really PISSED ME OFF was this comment on a classmate's blog:

We recognized the top 20 females in the batch according to beauty.
Other random boys in the batch rated the girls from 1 - 5

1 - lowest

5 - highest

The average = total score/x (no. of raters)

The top 20 is shown

The other 54.... scrap
WHAT. THE. FUCK. It's bad enough to actually rate these girls, but to call EVERY SINGLE ONE of the "losers" scrap, that is just THE MOST insensitive, insulting, tactless, imprudent, thoughtless, boorish, discourteous, maladroit, disrespectful, offensive thing you could POSSIBLY say. Seriously, xfacekillahcrossx, DO YOU HAVE A HEART?!?!?!

Sigh...


WHATEVER HAPPENED TO RESPECT?!?!

God dammit.

ED
IT: Apparently, the CFAwards blog was taken down yesterday. I guess a lot of people are happy. I sure am.

Yet Another Personality Test...

Got another one from Mickey.

Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.


The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.


Your views on education:

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:

You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

How do you view success:

You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.


Overall. I think this is a pretty accurate test, although I don't know about the parts about romantic relationships since I don't have much experience there. But seriously, I'm not sure if my advice is that good. Sometimes, when someone asks me for advice, I answer a different question that what was asked of me or I answer in a "different" way that what that person is looking for. Oh well.

It's About Time... (To be Edited)

It's about time I posted something besides personality test results. Aanyway, we had our batch retreat last Friday to Sunday and I really enjoyed it. Come on, who wouldn't enjoy spending a weekend with friends? And even though I'm not very religious anymore, I still listened during the talks, since they also contained pretty good advice for life in general.

Here's the day-by-day summary:

Day 1 (Friday):
First day and I was really excited. I arrived at Pisay at around 11:00 when there weren't many people yet and just hung out with TJ and company. By 11:45 there were already a lot of people in the front lobby and all we had to do left was wait until we could board the bus. From here on I lost track of the time for some reason.

Potassium spent the long bus ride with Sodium. On the way, we watched Zohan, and honestly, some of the jokes were really funny but it was basically stereotipical american humor-- meaning most of it was just plain stupid. Anyway, I saw that there was quite a bit of racism in the movie, which, might I add, I hate. After Zohan ended, we watched Mama Mia. I was distracted by a headache and wasn't able to pay much attention to the movie, so I just spent the time practicing psionics with James, who was sitting next to me. We figured out that day that it is possible to get rid of headaches with psionics, and possibly transfer them to someone else. Don't worry: we found that out by accident. Hehehe.

Anyway, we got to Angel's Hills in Tagaytay at around 4:00 and we went straight to the meeting room place for the orientation. After that we were given our room keys and so we spent quite a bit of the afternoon in our rooms fixing our stuff. After a while, we went back to the meeting room place to listen to a talk by father Mon. He taught us an Italian song that apparently got stuck in everyone's head since a lot of people are still singing...

So after that we ate dinner, we played "Human Bingo" with the entire batch. It had some really hard boxes since for several of them, only two people applied. Some of the herder ones were "Someone you would spend your life with," "I love you," and "will you be my prom date?" because they are all basically THE SAME and we weren't allowed to make someone sign more than once. And since I actually took it seriously, I had a really hard time, since I'm really not the kind of guy who opens up to many people.

After Human Bingo, we played a giant board game with human pieces. Yay. It was the usual get-to-the-end-first type board games, but the challenges at each square were fun. Some challenges were "Dance-off against random teacher," "Reenact Surpanakha scene," and "Slowdance with random teacher."

"Lights out" was supposedly at 10:00 but people were still out and about hanging out with friends and enjoying the cold, fresh air of Tagaytay at 12:00. Me and my friends were some of those people. I ended up sleeping at 1:00 since Me, James, Kiefer and King still stayed up talking in the room. And then James and Kiefer just kept playing Rock, Paper, Scissors until wegot bored and decided to sleep.


I will edit this post later on with info on the following days.

I am the epitome of unluck.

I am Unluck incarnate.

Life hates me.

I won't even bother to put anything in this post.

Life sucks. That's all I have to say.

Just when I thought it was over...

MY LAPTOP GIVES ME THE BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH!!!!! And just when I was about to finish the Dead Princess Duet prologue!

I reeeeaaallly reeeeeaaaalllly want to curse, but since this is my ComSci blog and Sir will be checking it... I can't.

Ugh. I've been getting nothing but errors this whole week. Life sucks.

EDIT: Apparently, my laptop isn't suffering from just a bluescreen. I got a worm. *Sigh* Life really sucks.

Error... Error... Error...

As you guys can guess from the title, life hates me right now. Well, maybe just my laptop.

My MS Office died on me yesterday, rendering all my documents (homeworks, handouts and my stories-- Including half of the Dead Princess Duet Prologue...) unopenable. It had an error every time I opened it that said it wasn't installed (!?). Turns out that the copy of MS Office that came with my laptop was a trial version that only lasts 60 days (actually, I cracked it, but I guess MS Auto Update found it...) so I convinced my parents to buy the original CD. It cost P4999. So I was like "Yay. I can do my homeworks now."

Guess what. It still didn't work. Same error. Big surprise, seeing that I'm getting lots of errors lately. I got this one error wen I tried to install Spore, which made my laptop hang for a hell of a long time, I had a BLANK error in RO that, as the word "blank" implies, did not have an error message, so I have no idea how to fix it, and I'm also having errors with my antivirus.

Ugh. Sucks to be me right now.

EDIT: Finally got it fixed, but I had to use acer eRecovery, which brings my laptop back to factory settings and deletes everything on the C drive.

Oh well. That's life. At least I can continue working on Dead Princess Duet.
