Year 3 Year 3 Year 3 =)

It's been a month since I have posted my last blog. I miss my postings and I know, you're already wondering what might have happened. So, there we go! The past weeks have been very toxic for me and my mates. We undergo another shooting days for a new set of movies to be showcased on the class, we also had our FINAL exams, and a lot of things happened. We're finally done on colleting our cards. Thank God I got passing grades. Then, we finally said our temporary goodbyes. We spent our last moments full of joy and laughter, like never been before. Some were excited for their vacations, some really cried and laughed and then, cried again! Oh! What a feeling! Some were also afraid that reshuffling might occur (including me). Nobody knows. Maybe we'll never stay on the same room again. Maybe next sem, we'll never have the chance to stay on our beloved groups as well. Really, that really hurts! Guess, it's part of the training. We should learn to accept normal events that are possible to happen. It's just sad and a little thrilling. All I can say is a big "thank you" to all my friends and mates. I should never say bye. 

As of now, I am planning to apply for a job. I'm 18 and I guess, it's time to spend the next few months in a fruitful way and make some money. So, that's it for now. By the way, before we set off, just wanna shout out loud: "'Em a certified JUNIOR student! Yeah!"

Land of Bondage, Land of the Free

And yet, ladies and gentlemen, the tao is constitutionally free! No wonder, then, that the tao being a slave has acquired the habits of a slave.

No wonder that after three centuries in chains, without freedom, without hope, he should lose the erect and fearless posture of a freeman, and become the bent, misshapen, indolent, vicious, pitiful thing that he is!

Who dares accuse him now? Who dares rise up in judgement against this man, reduced to this subhuman level by three centuries of oppession?

Ladies and gentlemen the tao does not come here tonight to be judged -- but to judge!

Hear then his accusation and his sentence:

I indict the Spanish encomendero for inventing taxes impossible to pay!

I indict the usurer for saddling me with debts impossible to bear!

I indict the irresponsible radical leaders who undermine with insidious eloquence the confidence of my kind in our government!

I indict the haciendero for seizing my lands with subtle trickery and reducing me to peonage!

I indict him for sacrificing the honest efforts of an honest government on the altar of his illimitable greed!

You accuse me of ignorance. But I am ignorant because my master finds it profitable to keep me ignorant. Free me from bondage, and I shall prove you false!

You accuse me of indolence. But I am indolent not because I have no will, but because I have no hope.

Why should I labor if the fruits of my labor go to extinguish and inextinguishable debt! Free me from bondage, and I will prove you false!

Give me land. Land to own. Land unbeholden to any tyrant. Land that will be free. Give me land for I am starving. Give me land that my children will not die.

Sell it to me. Sell it to me at a fair price as one free man sells to another. And not as a usurer sells to a slave.

I am poor. But I will pay it! I will work and work until I fall with weariness for my privilege and my right to be free!

But if you will not grant me this last request. This ultimate demand, then build a wall around your homes... build it high!... build it strong!... place a sentry on every parapet... for I who have been silent these three hundred years, will come in the night when you are feasting, with my cry and my bolo at your door...

And may God have mercy on your soul!
